My already unalterable faith and
in Pythianism is aug
mented and strengthened when l be-
gin to realize that it is great or
ganization which brings good men
of all walks of life into common
brotherhood, where we may clasr
our hands in friendship and hail
each other as brothers and renew our
covenant to "never leave a friend" !"
Then too in our everyday individual
life we become so engrossed in cares,
so full Of strife It what we can get
in life, so full of ambition to win,
so Indifferent and careless to the
wants of men, so neglected and
forgetful of the helpless, that
sometimes think that the greatest
blessing that has come to this world
and humanity is the combination OF
men for the sole purpose Of doing
good to others. All that is truest
and best within us leads us to ap
preciate that most excellent and en-

Recounting the sudden shocks and

Under matchless leader, whose

CIVIC CENTER
FOR NEGROES
GREAT QUESTION BEING AGl-
TATED IN NASHVILLE NOW.
Leading Men Have Different Opinions
The Scheme Is Being Discussed
on Every side-Prof. Mc-CuI-
ouch Makes Statement
Goes Fully Into Details
as to the Plan-States
His Views.

Much has been SAID about Civic
Center for Negroes of Nashville; but
until recently no tangible steps have
been taken to this END. For the last
few days, however, the Negroes of
Nashville have been deeply interested
in this proposition. 1t was not gen
orally known among the people just
the scope of this undertaking until
statement was made by Prof. J. r.
MCCULLOUGH, who was one of the
prime movers in this matter. Also he
arrival in the city of specialist from
the East to organize campaign for
the purpose stated above was another
thing that aroused the thinking peo-
pie on this question.
The leading men are not agreeing
on the matter Prof MCCULLOUGH in
his statement makes it clear and en-
phatic that the plan does hot even
approach an attempt of segregation.
He argues that the Negroes of Nash
Vile need for themselves just what
the white people have in the West
End; that is, a central location they
can lok upon as a Civic Center where
all of the Independent educational in
stitutions shall be located in connec-
ton with the city high schol and 9TH
er institutions.
There seems to be g general opin-
ion that the grouping of colleges and
universities might be beneficial, but
the locating of the city institutions,
o such as the high school, Carnegie Lii
brary and Y. NJ c. A, in one corner
of the city does not meet the hearty
approval of the people. 1t has not
n been possible to convince them that
the forty per cent. of Negroes who
live in East, South and Southwest
Nashville should be Inconvenience
to accommodate the sixty per cent
supposed to live in the imaginary
zone drawn by Prof MCCULLOUGH
They do not take much ok in the
claim of Prof McCullof that thu
establishment of this vic Cente
would give to the Nea jes of Nash
Vile more self-governm mt.
There is some apprehension as tt
the practicability of such a plan an
it's possibility seems to be even NOR
remote.

Beloved - Wife of
Bishop Phillips.

Lucy Tappan Phillips was born in
Helena, Arkansas, June s, 1859. AT
the beginning of the Civil War, IN
1861, she came to Nashville with her
parents, and she lived here continuous
ly until her marriage to Bishop Z.
H. Phillips.
For a short while she was pupil OF
Belle View School, while DR.. &. w.
Hubbard was principal but she soon
became a student at Fisk University,
graduating from the Normal Depart
ment in May, 1880.
On December 10th of the same year
she married Rev. Charles Henry
Phillips, who was then young min
lister of the c. M. E. Church, whose
home was in Milledgeville, Ga. Aft
er their marriage they went to Mil
ledgeville, where they remained about
five months. In the spring OF 1881,
while a revival was being conducted
by the pastor, Rev. A. j. Stinson, she
was soundly converted to the Shrls
tian religion as the result of a sermon
preached one night during the meet
ing by her husband from the text

formality seemed to disappear as II

themselves in the heartiest fashion.
The spacious parlors, divided by the

every hand, and it is not known fully
as yet just what stand the leading
Negroes will take in this matter. The
opinion seems to be general, however,
that the citizens of Nashville can well
afford to contribute a hundred thou
sand dollars to the colleges and uni
versities located here, in view of the
fact that nothing has ever been done
along this line that Nashville has not
been the BENEFICIARY Of the hundreds OIL
thousands of dollars spent annually
by these institutions since their estab-
lishment in this city.
1t is believed by many that the gen
erosity of Nashville will compel her
to give literally to these institutions.
But as to the grouping of the city
public buildings and the other institu-
tions that should be for all the people
Of every section Of the city, is ques-
tion upon which they are not fully
agreed.
DR.. McCulloch outlines the plan in
part as follows:
1T IS true our movement contem-
plates locating several institutions in
Northwest Nashville, which will be
in the neighborhood of Fisk Univers
ity, but the movement was not origi
mated with Fisk, has not been pro
NOTED by Fisk, and these institutions
so far as we are concerned, will have
no connection with Fisk.
''The plan which has been develop
ed gradually during the last twelv,
or fifteen months is to establish
civic center for Negroes. At presen
the Negro population Of Nashville

tions are so detached from one al
other that it is impossible for tn
