cLARksvILLE NOTES.

Last Sunday was great day in
st. Peters A. M E. Church, notwith-
standing the severe weather. Two
boards of stewardesses were conse-
Grated in the presence of large au-
dience. The altar was draped in
snow white linen, and the eighteen
ladies in their uniforms of white
and black made beautiful picture
as they knelt at the altar, while the
pastor, Rev. d. A. Graham, in full
robe, prayed the conservation prayer.
The solemnity of the scene made a
lasting impression on all who wit
messed it. The solo by Madam Kate
Greenlaw was one of the finest that
could be rendered on such an occa-
sion. Few singers in this country
equal Madam Greenlaw in the sweet
ness of tone and perfection of inter-
probation of sacred music. Clarks-
vile can well be proud of her. The
Allen League presented fine pro-
gram at the regular hour and had the
largest attendance Of this sason.
Mrs. HodsAins led the meeting. DR..
Jefferson is acting as general spuer-
intendent at present. Mrs. Lena Cot
iron is very sick at her residence on
Eleventh street. The Wardrobe Club,
the leading charity organization Of
the city will hold anniversary exer-
cises at Fifth Ward Baptist Church
Sunday, the 18th, at 8 p. m. Rev.
DR.. Graham will deliver the anniver-
sary sermon. Mr.. Weaden DECKER

to nurse Mrs. c. G. Gurhart this
week, but owing to extreme rush at
the Infrmary, both nurses had to be
called back to help Nurse Bailey out.
The financial report of st. John Bap-
fist Church, of GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
for the year 1911 was the largest in
twenty-five years, under the leader
ship of her new pastor, Rev. S. w.
Toles, B. D. The net receipts for the
year 1911 amounted to $2,500 Rev.
Toles has not only proved himself a
minister of the gospel, but a finan-
cier and church builder. During his
years pastorate electricity and a
steam plant have been installed, a
concrete walk and steps have been
laid, new pulpit and new Office
furniture have been put in. The cost
of the furniture amounted to $1G5,

D. Clark as Clerk. Allen Jackson
