NEW HOME
Of R. E. Cooper, on South Main
Street in Hands of Con-
tractor.

Mr.. r. E. Cooper has let the cor
tract for building his new residence,
on South Main street, adjoining the
home of II. D. Wallace. The plans
aad specifications were considered by
several contracting firms, but the
Forbes Mfg. Co. were the successful
bidders. AS stated in this paper a
couple of weeks since, Mr.. Cooper
will have one of the most complete
and up to date homes in the city,
and that is saying much. The con-
tract calls for quick completion, and
the contractors are able to comply
with it.

Crowd Was Enthusiastic and
Many Subjects Dis
CuSSed.
APRIL SPECIAL, 100 HEAD.
Big Annual Sale and Fish Fry
Has Been Planned For
May q.

The farmers of the Church Hill
vicinity had a rousing meeting in
their hall last Friday. Several i'm
portant subjects were freely dis
cussed.
During the meeting it was made
known by several of the members
that they had a lot of cattle that
were in fine condition for the mar
ket and they did not want to feed
them until the regular annual sale
day. 1t was finally decided to sell
about 100 head on Friday, April 18th.
The members of the Grange want
it understood that this sale will in
no way interfere with their annual
sale in May. At the regular sale
they will be prepared as usual to
furnish dinner to those who attend.
Anybody who has attended these
s les knows what that means. This
year the plan is to have a regular
fish fry with the usual accompani-
ments.
Church Hill Grange has never
shown the least symptoms Of dying,
as have most, if not ell, of the or
CARNATIONS in Kentucky, if not in
the South. On the contrary, the
grange is very much alive. Though
| DR.. Clardy, one of the leading spir-
its of the organization will, probably,
never be able to attend another
meeting; though j. B. Walker, who
was one of the organiz3ti most
active and useful members, has been
called into the great beyond. Church
Hill Grange still has on its roll many
of the county's most useful citizens,
who will not let the organization fail
or cease to exist. These men know
what their Grange has done for them,
! aid they are willing to trust in its
benefits for the future.

DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM
Musicale and Readings at the
Avalon Tuesday Night.

An appreciative audience greeted
the four ladies who filled the pro-
gram at the Avalon last Tuesday
night. Whilst the attendance might
have been larger yet the evening
was most delightful one. Every
musical number being all that the
most criticsl could enjoy with a zest.
All enjoyed it and encore after en-
core followed.
Inc program was opened with q
violin solo by Mrs. A. B. Anderson
and never before had she used her
violin with more effect. Through
out the program she seemed at her
very best.
Mrs. Clark, one of Nashville's
most gifted vocalists, was in splen-
did voice and in every number she
scared from the lowest notes to the
highest with the ease and sweetness
of the songbird of spring. The range
and carrying power of her highly
cultivated voice is wonderful.
Miss Camp, the pianist, who is
numbered among NashviIle's mag
nltcent performers. did her work
like the true artist she is. Owing
to slight indisposition the audience
was deprived of hearing her instru-
mental solo, The "Gnome Dancs,''
by List.
Miss Parents reading was a great
feature Of the program. She never
looked more bewitching or read bet.
ter than on this occasion. THE
Message" was delivered so feeling
ly that it is hard to say whether her
peculiar gift belongs to the realm Of
pathos or better is adapted to the
temperament Of those who take life
in a happy-gc-!ucky way.

Everything was free and everybody
who could get into the building was
there, large numbers having to re-
turn home for want of room.
The Third Regiment Band was
there and opened up the program
with thrilling selection rendered in
the usual perfect manner of the best
military band of the South. Col.
Henry made happy address of well
come and Mayor Meacham followed
with tribute to the company's past
and present. Hon John c. Duffy
followed him in a speech in which he
recalled the many good things that
have come to the people in the past
few years-two parks from the late
John c. Latham. Carnegie library,
and a memorial hospital from DR..
Stuart. The next thing he is look
ing for is big Y. M. c. A. building
But while we are receiving so much

by one they dropped cut until it mar
rowed down to Frenk Logan and
Harry Tappan. These two young
men stood the work well, each alert
all the time to catch the words OF
command until Tappan made a break
and Logan won the medal.
Prof. Fielder then gave a solo. the
band played and the crowd dispers-
ed excepting those who remained
for the dance.
The new armory is all that the
soldier boys could ask and they ap-
