will be held in this city for the rati-
fication, by the people, Of a franchise
to the Nashville Gas and Heating
Company. This franchise ordinance,
passed by the City Council and ap-
proved by the Mayor, has been so
framed as to protect and safeguard
the interests of the city and the con-
sumers Of gas.
Within thirty days after the rati-
fication of this ordinance, If it car
ries at the election to be held in
April, there will be released in Nash
vile a large sum of money, approx
mately nearly two million dollarsI
This new capital will seek invest
ment in various channels of enter
prise and industry in the city and
the development which necessarily
follows will be greatly to the inter
est of all classes Of people, and par
ticularly to the working men.
The new company agrees to extend
gas lines to all portions Of the city

give to all who may desire to have
1t, gas for lighting and fuel pur-
poses. The added revenue to the
city from this enterprise will bring
about the building of new streets and
the improvement of those that are
already established.
In all of the work and develop
ment which comes from the new
company, the laboring classes will
be among the greatest and most di
rect benehciaries. A vote for the

Turner Art Exhibit.

The Turner Art Exhibit which was
shown Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of this week at the Carnegie Ii
brary for the benefit OF the Negro
school children was a grand affair. Pic
lures were exhibited there from all
parts of the world and by the mas
ter painters. Every child who visit
ed the exhibit was benefited as were
also the grown up people, for many
had never seen such paintings. It is
commendable that the Pearl High
School students received a very high
compliment from the custodian of
the Library building in that it was
stated that their orderliness and
manners were such as to attract spe-
cial attention.
The arrangement perfected by the
Public School authorities In this ex-
hibit viii be of incaleulable value to
the school children of Nashville. It
shows the interest that the Superin.
tendent and the Board Of Education
are taking in all Of the children, and
1t means that Nashville will grow
better; as all are made to understand
that their welfare is receiving con-
sideration at the hands of the admin
istrators of public affairs.

GONE TO REST.

On Tuesday, March ~, just after
the midnight hour, death entered the
home of Mrs. Pinnie Morton, at 1929
Ivy street and the freed spirit OF Hat
tie Duke took it's fight to that home
Of the soul where God and angels
dwell.
Hattie Duke, the daughter Of Mr..
George Duke and adopted daughter of
Mrs Pinnie Morton, was born Novem-
Der 22nd, 1895. She was converted
and joined the Spruce Street Baptist
Church in March, 1907, and remained
a consistent Christian until the time
of her death. She loved her church
with her whole heart and as never
happier than when engaged in its
service; always performing the duties
assigned her with such cheerfulness
as to impress every one that she truly
delighted inthe work of the Master.
Her sweet disposition won fol her
the love and respect Of all with whom
she came in contact Indeed, 10 know
her was to love her and admire her,
for her highest ambition was to make
others happy. regardless of any sac
rifice it might cost her. Thus she
iived life of truest unselfshness
ever trying to brighten the pathway
of all within her influence.
For more than eighteen weeks Hat
tie was confined to her room, suffering
at times intense pain, but through il
an she was kind, patient and loving
Even in hours OF her most acute suf
fering She endeavored to be cheerful
for the sake Of those around her. She
often spoke of her loved ones in heav
] en- AMI expressed the desire to &C
end be with them A few days before
she passed away, she said to the
writer: eyes, | know you will miss
me; but | am so tired, long to &C
where Jesus is and be at rest"
She has gone to rest-her heaven
" rest-where there is no more pair
nor death, and where all tears are
wiped away; where she will spend nj
more restless nights of suffering, bu
where all is bright and happy, in tina
and OF intending light and peace
No more will her sweet voice b.
heard in the choral class of he
church, but she has gone to join thu
angelic choir, where her voice shall
mingle with the redeemed Of the Lore
\ in anthems Of praise to the God sh'
loved, through all eternity.

crutchePs New Store.

The Negroes of Nashville have
Just cause to be proud Of D. WI
Crutcher's new gents furnishing
store. At the opening on the 14th
several hundred people braved a cold
rain to peep in on this young man
and to express to him their congrat
ulations. This in itself should en-
courage Mr.. Crutcher; and doubtless
it did, for the approval Of the peo-
pie is the strongest testimony one.
can have. Mr.. Crutcher Is product
Of Nashville. He has lived here all
OF his life. He is well-known and is
highly respected. No one has left
him a legacy with which to start a
business, and the effort he is putting
forth is the result of the strictest
economy and a keen insight to bust
ness.
His store rs as neat and as order
ly as airy in the city, and his goods
are Of standard brands. There is no
excuse for Negro men of this city
to go into any furnishing store where
they are not treated with the utmost
courtesy, for all of their wants can
be supplied by this young man. He
thoroughly understands the bust
ness he is conducting, and delights
to wait on his customers which he
does with Chesterfield politeness.
Aside from this, the opportunity
presents itself for the Negroes Of
Nashville to add another strong
business concern to those already
operated here. 1t means that sew
eral young men can have employ
ment as clerks, and that the race car
be strengthened in the commercial
world It is up to the Negroes o.
Nashville to make this store a sue
cess. We believe they will, for we have
always had the utmost confidence II
the people, and it has been proven ir
more than one instance that Negroes
will support enterprises conducted b!
Negroes when they can get value re
ceived. We have always contendet
that no one should expect more thar
that; for when a people who are pool
are asked to pay the same price fol
the necessities of life as is paid by the
well-to-do, they cannot be ex
pected to pay a higher price to any
one because of racial ties or friend
ship. Mr.. Crutcher sells his goods
at the same prices at which they car
be bought at any store in our city. HI
meets every requirement and is de
serving of a liberal support which
we believe he will receive

Hattie leaves a father, a devoted
mother, a loving sister, and hest of
relatives and friends to mourn their
loss, which is her eternal gain; but
we mourn not as those who have no
