GOLDEN WEDDING.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Last
night Mr.. Edward German and Mrs.
Sarah German, for many years resi-
dents of this city, celebrated their
fiftieth anniversary as man and wife.
The affair was an elaborate one in
every detail; and excited much in
terest because of its singularity in
the history of wedding anniversaries
in the city of Chattanooga. The
altar of the First Baptist Church,
where the wedding celebration was
held, was decorated with ferns, palms
and colors of gold. When the hour
for the ceremony to begin arrived,
the auditorium of the spacious build
ing was taxed for available standing
room with eager friends to witness
the occasion. After the most excel
lent solo rendered by Mrs. c. Cowan,
the organist played in most pleas
ing manner, Memberships Wed

Nj. Rice, who will soon celebrate
their golden wedding, acted maid of
honor and best man; and to the soft
pealing tones of the Zig pipe organ,
they stepped with the accuracy Of
the pendulum of a clock, as they
marched to the altar Next came
DR.. and Mrs. W. H. d. Valentine;
DR.. Valentine bearing the ring, and
Mrs. Valentine acting as flower girl
Following came the bride walking in

was presented to the groom, Mr..
Ed German, who had entered from
the vestry accompanied by his broth

les which were very impressive. He

march by which all repaired to the
Sunday-school department where a
large committee had arranged a
grand reception for the guests, and
ice cream and cake was served to

presents were given to the groom
and bride, together with $4,000 in
gold as an expression of the wishes
of their many friends, for their long
and useful lives. The bride wore
white Marquisette over satin with
god trimmings. The maid of honor

FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE
NASHVILLE CHORAL
SOCIETY.

The lecture room of the First Bap-
fist Church was filled Wednesday and
Thursday evening for the last two
rehearsaTs of the Nashville Choral
Society, before it's concert in the
auditorium on Tuesday, February
9Th. AS usual there was good at
tendance of visitors and the work OF
the chorus was the best yet The
consuming interest and enthusiasm
displayed by the members of the or
ganization speak volumes for its sue
cess and the musical intelligence dis
played is SIMPLY fine. The work of
the conductor is far from laborious,
as he has only to give direction re-
garding the special points which any
chorus would overlook. Matters Of
tune, time, reading and modulations
are ali looked after by the chorus it
self, while the conductor lis free to
give time to certain interpretations
and technicalities regarding finances
and the like. The accompaniment
work is superbly executed by Mrs.
]. D. Ballentyne and Miss H. E..
Caruthers. This work requires two
pianos, both on account of the size
of the chorus and the nature of the
musical score Two solos in con-
nection with the chorus will be sung
by Mr.. A. G. Price, who will render
"The Bedouin Love Song" words by
Bayard Taylor, music by Piusuti, and
Mr.. ]. w. Work, who viii sing 81
Hear You Calling Me-" by Marshall.
The tickets are being sold rapidly
and a big attendance is expected.

now, it is learned, he is soon to leave

The trip to the Canal Zone is tor
the purpose of looking after the mis-
sionary work there. The Baptist
Home Mission Board of the National
Baptist Convention, under the able
management of its Secretary DR..
Boyd, has accomplished more in the
Panama Zone in less than ten years
than all the white missionary socie-
ties combined. Several churches
have been built under the direction
of DR.. Boyd, and large membership
has been built up by the missionary

GENERAL CONFERENCE DELE
GATES TO MEET HERE.

The Tennessee delegates elected to
represent the African Methodist Con
ferences of this State at the General
Conference that will be held in Kan
sas City, Mo-, in May will hold a
meeting in this city Wednesday, Feb
ruary 18th. The sessions will be
held at Bethel A. M. E. Church on
Tenth avenue, South. Every Confer
ence in the state win be represented
by a full quota of dlegates, which
will bring together twenty odd min
listers and laymen, and the visitors
and friends, and those interested in
some plan to present to the General
Conference, will swell the number to
fifty or rOre.
1t could not he learned from any
of the delegates residing in this city
just what specific action the dele
gates will take, but from the general
trend CT the conversation of all who
were seen it seems safe to predict
that the Tennessee delegation will go
up solid for Dr. ]. A. Jones for editor
of the Southern Christian Recorder.
DR.. Jones is a favorite son of Ten
nessee and the ministry and laity
throughout the state are pulling hard
for his election. Not only is this
true of the members of his own
church, hut of all denominations
Another matter on which it is be-
lieved there will be solid front is
the Bryant proposition. 1t is not
believed that the complaint of few
that a layman should not hold such
a position will be given any credence
whatever, the opinion seems to pre-
vail that the man best qualified should
have the position. The record made
by Mr.. Bryant speaks for itself, and
with his practical knowledge of the
printing business he will be able to
do for his church more than any
other Negro publisher has done.
What is true of the sentiemnt to
ward the election of Dr. Jones and
the endorsement of Mr. Bryant's prop
osition. seems also to be true in the
case of Drs. Lewis, Caldwell an(
Roman.
The meeting promises to be inter
esting in many ways, as this Genera
Conference will have many questions
of great Importance to grapple with

NEGRO PYTRIANS WILL
NOT SURRENDER
LAWYER MAYFIELD WANTS NE.
GROES TO VOTE IN DEMO-
CRATIC PRIMARY.

Honorable d. u. Burke,
Chairman of The Democratic
Primary Committee of Day.
idson County.
My dear Sir
1t has been my intention for some
time to call to your attention one Oh
the qualifications required for one
to vote in the Democratic Primary.
The Democratic Primary Idea had its
inception, when my people voted for
one denominating himself Republi-
can, irrespective to the man, or his
qualifications with that logged tena-
city, which made such a course ur-
gent and necessary. Those days
have long since passed and the Dem
ocratic party, when honest and up
right men are placed for political
preferment has nothing to fear from
my people. 1t has been mine to care
fully note The trend of affairs and
the change of sentiment as manifest
ed by us toward the Democratic
Party.
AS a result of my investigation, I
am safe in saying that two-thirds of
the Negroes of Davidson County are
Democrats, and viii be ardent sup
porters of the Democratic nominees.
The only slogan that is used against
the party, is, it is said, Negroes are
not allowed to vote in their Prim-
aries" These people can answer
any requirements that are just and
right, but they cannot erase the fact
that they are Negroes any more than
the Irishman, that he is Irish, or the
Jew, that he is a Jew. l think the
requirement should be that one should
have supported the last Democratic
Presidential nominee, or such other
qualifications as are applied to Other
citizens.
think, if that slogan is removed
we shall have the way paved fol-
the election of a Democratic Cover
nor and shall make sure the election
| of Woodrow Wilson, or some Other
good Democrat to the Presidency.
see no reason why the holdings a!
espoused by the Democratic party as
ontra-distinguished from those o.
the Republican party should not pre-
vail. The republican party is and has
been the instrument of predatory
wealth and the fooling of my people
by that party has ceased. 1t be
hooves US at this the beginning of
wear of much political activity to re
move seeming impediments, that W.
may enter the campaign with no hin
ORANGES, which we ourselves can re
move, that we may direct our entire
strength and energy to the annihila
ton of the common enemy, the Re
publican party.
think the outlook forshadows
Democratic victory, from the Presi
dency down. Give this matter you
consideration and the success of thu
party is assured.
Yours for the good Of the party,
R. L. MAYFIELD.
