NEGROES ENJOY COOL HOURS IN
PARKS

The refining influence and the phys
ical as we'll as the material benefits
OF parks in any city are justly appre-
clated by Nashville Negroes. The
mass of humanity at Greenwood Park
Sunday is conclusive proof of the
above fact. Fully $500 people left
the city to seek a cool breeze at Gel
ebrated Greenwood Park. This noted
pleasure resort is fast becoming the
idol of Nashvilles Negro population.
The extension of the car line was the
one thing needed Sunday the cars
were run in sections of three and
each one carried a throng of men.
women and children, who were anx-
ious to find cool breeze. They came
not only on the many cars but some
walked, some came in automobiles,
some in buggies, traps, wagons, in
fact, in everything but airships. At
. o'clock the place was one i'm
mense body of mankind. The bril-
liant lights, the merry throngs of
jolly boys and girls, the happy chill
dren, light-hearted parents, with their
joyous children, drank to the full of
all the GOODNESS Greenwood had TO Of
fer, for Sunday was a record-breaker
for heat. Until very late in the even
ing mirth and happy repartee reigned
supreme, as each one enjoyed either
stroll through the grounds or one of
the many amusements of the park.
Hadley Park, too came in for its
share of breeze-seekers. This beau
tiful place, which is covered with
abundant shade trees. shrubbery and
carpet of natures best, held its
quota of men, women and children.
This park, which is situated in North
Nashville, in close proximity to the
State Normal School, is presenting to
the colored citizens band concerts
that are proving as attractive as the
breezes found there. The city Off
Gals are rapidly improving these
grounds and making them comforta.
