"The Ups and Downs of Life" Last

bear witness to the fact that it was
one Of the finest public utterances

our lives. No matter what ones
position may be, when things are
going well we are up, and when

In Northwest Nashville in what is
known as the vicinity of Fisk Univer-
sity, Negroes are buying homes at
a rapid rate. Beginning at the rail-
road on the south, and Eleventh ave
nue. on the east, running north to Bu-
chanan street, west to Eighteenth av-
enue, and taking circuitous course
to the grounds of the State Normal,
back to West Nashville, is a vast ter
ritory of the city that is acknowledged
as belonging to Negroes, either as
owners or renters. More than 60 per
cent of the homes in that vast terri
tory are owned by Negroes, and more
are buying homes in that portion of
the city every day

pie on their easy terms.
The people of that vicinity are very
jealous of the neighborhood and are
endeavoring to see to it that none
but respectable citizens locate therein.
1t is known that meeting was re-
Gently held at which a rumor Of an
undesirable neighbor coming was dis
cussed. 1t was made plain to all
present that the people in that vicin-
ity are bitterly opposed to any one
buying home there whose reputa-
tion is not the best 1t had been
limited around that an undesirable
character was having house erected
on one of the principal streets, 1t
could not be learned from what
source the information was gained,
as the speakers at the meeting were
very cautious in their sayings and no
one would make a direct statement
1t was clear, however, that decided
stand will be taken against undesira-
be characters. 1t leaked out that it
had been intimated that a certain
white man had planned to build a
house in that vicinity for a Negro
woman 1t was also limited that this
man had in mind to visit this house
and that the woman in question was
understood to be of that character
who lets rooms to other Negro women
in which to meet white men. The
matter IS being investigated and it
is believed that if any truth is found
that a strong protest will be made,
first to the real estate agent who has
the property, and then to the city au-
horities to protect the community
against undesirable characters. The
people in the neighborhood are very
much wrought up over the rumor and
are watching closely every move
made, and if it develops that there is
any truth in the report, actions will

The continual high waters through.

Keep the smaller streams swollen
throughout the season, adding to the

OF property and also prevents the
farmers from planting their crops.
AS result all garden truck is late,

mas been greatly damaged by the rain.
Negroes live principally on the farm,
and those who reside in the cities
are mostly in the low sections. Thou.
sands Of these have been driven from
their homes by the back-waters, and
many of their churches have been I'm
der water, thereby preventing them
from holding their services and In
many cases destroyed books and lit

day-schools have not held a meeting
for months Added to this is the in
ability of the farmers to work, thereby
depriving them of means with which
to buy literature and hold Sunday
school services in the cases where
they are unable to rent temporary
quarters.
DR.. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the
National Baptist Publishing Board,
and Mr.. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of
the A. M. E. S. S. Union, both located
in this city, have said to a Globe rep

that just as fast as the people can
return to their settlement and open
up their Sunday-schools and churches
the yare compelled to ask for aid that
they may be enabled to get their peo-
pie together again and begin holding
their services. This causes the pub
fishers to be forced to make larger
donations in the face Of the fact that
their receipts have already been great
ly cut off. The end of the situation
is not in sight as yet, and the heads
of these publishing concerns antici-
pate an even greater loss than is yet
apparent, and they also realize that
they will be compelled to make large
dontions of books and magazines,
thereby rendering their losses heavier
from a financial point of view.

THE NEW PARK FoR NEGROES


THE NEW PARK FOR NEGROES.
/ 1t has just been learned that the
City Park Commission has closed the
deal for the thirty-four-acre tract of
land in Northwest Nashville, known
as the Harden Place" This tract
is situated between Fisk University
and the State Normal, and will make
a beautiful park for the colored peo-
pie of this city. It is learned that the
Commission will set about at once TO
put the grounds in splendid condition.
and before the hot weather sets in
Nashville Negroes will have a public
park the equal of any in the State.
The tract selected is shaded with
massive oaks and is covered with
heavy coats of Tenressee's choicest
blue grass. A large brick building
stands on an eminence and can be
converted into beautiful rest house.
One of the finest mineral wells in the
State is located in the park. It will
afford an ample supply of water for
the visitors to the resort, thereby
adding to the comfort and pleasure of
the thousands who will seek this place
to enjoy the fresh air and to spend a
leisure hour.
This is another evidence of the
of Nashvilles citizenship
and will add materially to the peace
and happiness of her people.
