For the last few. weeks the Nash
vile Globe has been going like hot
cakes, and as a result the supply has
been exhausted. The company has
been increasing the number and max
ing an effort to supply every want,
but so rapid has been the Increase
that the boys have had to be turned
away without any papers. This is
not pleasant thing for the boys, for
they feel that they are robbed of an
opportunity to win the prize that is
offered to them.
The management is also regretful
that such a thing happens, but the
unexpected came upon them and there
was no way to avoid it. The people
are showing a high appreciation for
the splendid services rendered by the
Nashville Globe. Several wants had
to be refused last week because the
boys had cleaned up and were at that
time standing around the Office
grumbling about papers.
The management promises, how.
ever, not to be caught in that predica-
ment any more and in the future a

tion of having anything to say,
He emphasized the Importance of
lodge work and said of the lodge and
church that it was the question in
his mind as to which would perform

most affective way.
Mr.. A. N. Johnson, the popular
undertaken and proprietor of the Ma
jestic Thearte was neft Speaker. Mr..
johnson put special strength on the
Negro utilizing money in a way to
be of benefit to the race. He urged
the members of the society to select
some member of their number to in
vest their money so that its services
would be of benefit to the members
of the society, and in all come to
benefit others.
Rev. Ellis and Mr.. Ewing made
short talks Refreshments were
in abundance. Benevolent Society
No. 81 is among the several organiza-

measure of public spirit we may show
in this matter are business ones. Our
