PROF. TOBIAS WRITES ABOUT
NASHVILLE.
Editor Nashville Globe:


Editor Nashville Globe:
We would be pleased to express,
through the columns of your most ex-
cellent journal, our pleasure and prof
it in what we witnessed and enjoyed
during our recent visit to your city.
We were the guest of DR.. and Mrs.
C. H. Clark, in whose beautiful and
most comfortable home we were most
cordially received, and the recipient
of their most generous hospitalities.
We were given every reason to be-
lieve, beyond the shadow of doubt,
that we were among friends We
were pleased and delighted also to
accept the invitation to occupy a seat
at the table at which we were won't
in our opinion-to style the Boyd's
Christmas family reunion dinner"
We had the pleasure on this occasion
of seeing Mr.. Santa Claus pay spe-
cial visit to Mrs. r. H. and Mrs. H. A.
Boyd and leaving them, as his COM
pliments valuable pair of diamond
earrings each, and an extra diamond
ring for Mrs. H. A. Boyd.
We attended every service held
at the Mt Olive Baptist Church dur
our stay, and was highly benefited in
every way. DR.. c. H. Clark, the pastor
of the above church, is unquestionably
one of the most influential and phil
anthropic divines in NashvN els pas
torate The Sunday-school is a mod
ell of Christian progress It's services
are made conspicuous by the enthu-
siastic interest perceptible in every
class Sunday evening, the 31st, the
occasion on which the Rev. DR.. B. f.
Riley spoke to very large gathering
of the colored and white citizens at
the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, was the
climax of the service which we had
! the pleasure of witnessing DR.. Riley
left an impression on all long to be
remembered.
We could not close without
| expressing our pleasure in an
opportunity to visit the Nashville
Globes Office while in the city. 1t
was our pleasure to meet one of the
Nashville Globes managers, Mr.. w.
l.. Miller, who received us kindly and
spoke very encouragingly and hope
fully of the outlook for the Globe. He
expressed himself as desiring wider
correspondence on matters of local
interest, as a means of increasing it's
number of readers and enlarging it's
field of circulation. We agree with
Mr.. Miller; we believe that in pro
portion as newspaper becomes in
terested in the local matters and inn
portant mentionings of city, town
or village, the people of same become
interested in subscribing for and read
ing said paper. Any journal antici-
pating a large, circulation must see
the wisdom of soliciting and publish
ing, through some correspondent, the
local news of interest in the city or
town OF village, where it is desired "a
have the paper circulated and read
Mr. Miller impressed us very favora
bly, as a man of sterling business
qualities and student of the Opt
mistic class. We are of the opinion
that the Globe with such a manage
ment, Messrs. Hart, Boyd and Miller
will live to do incalculable good In
. the elevation of the race, and the ad
vocation of their cause, in the jour
nalistic arena. We wish for the
Globe an uninterrupted success, with
liberal support of the race.
On our return from Nashville We
were Obliged to take the next trai1
to Chickamouga, Ca, where we ha(
accepted an invitation to appear on the
programme to be rendered on the oc
casion Of the celebration of the Eman
cipation Proclamation, as orator O
F. the day. We spoke to a large anC
enthusiastic gathering of the citizens
of Chickamauga, Ca, upon the sub
iect, "The proper use of our free
dom" The message was enthusiast
cally received
Yours for success,
T. W. ]. TOBIAS.
