these conditions exist. 1t is a burn
ing shame that school houses, where
children must spend ten months of
the year, should be located in such
sections. Much cannot be injected
into the minds of the children with
such environments confronting them
from day to day, and the officials Of
Nashville owe it to the good name
of the city to remedy these affairs
as rapidly as conditions will permit.

ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK STOCK
SELLING IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.

Unlike corporations and institutions
commonly found in the race, the One
Cent Savings Bank has assumed high
err grounds. 1t has been able, because
Of the gilt-edge security it offers, to
attract stockholders from every por-
ton of the United States. In addition
TO this, people in foreign countries
have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity to purchase stock. 1t has stock
holders in Jamaica, Porto Rico, South
America and Panama, and now comes
a new stakeholder from Mexico, who
subscribes for stock and writes the

rwenty.five Years in business.

twenty-five Years III OuS'hSSS'
A quarter Of a century is a long
time for any man to successfully con-
duct a business in any community.
This must be said Of Rev. Preston
Taylor, the oldest Negro undertaken
of Nashville, who came to this city
twenty-five years ago with nothing
but a determination and engaged in
the undertaken business. He has
step by step increased that business
until it is numbered among the most
substantial.
Not only has Rev. Taylor succeeded
in the undertaken business, but dur
ing these twenty-five years he has
busted himself about everything that
pertains to the welfare of the people
in church, in the lodge, in the schools,
in the home, in the banks, and in
fact Rev. Tayor is looked upon as a
part of any undertaking.
Greenwood Cemetery and Green
wood Park will forever stand as
monuments to his credit. His life
is wrapped up in these more than
anything to which he has put his
hand, and at the end of those twenty
five years there is no evidence Of a
s%lackening in his activities. He IS
as busy today as he was twenty-five
years ago, and more so; for his in
tersts are greater, and the demands
upon him are more numerous, but he
is a t%ireless worker and his record
made in this city as a business man
and as a Humanitarian stamps him as
a mar of the highest type
AS he celebrates his twenty-ffth
anniversary in business, his friends
in Nashville and elsewhere join in
saying: Long live Preston Taylor"

TO REBUILD BLUE MOUNTAIN
HOUSE.
Managers Say Smaller Building Will
BE Erected.

A recent dispatch from Pen-Mar in
reference to the rebuilding of the
Blue Mountain House, is as follows:
The erection of new hotel on the
site of the old Blue Mountain House,
which was destroyed by fire August
4, is a certainty. Work on the new
structure will in all probability be
begun just as soon as the ruins of the
old structure can be cleared away,
and will be completed in time to be
opened next summer. The only ques-
tons which remain to be settled are
those Of the size and style Of the new
building. The new hotel will be
erected either by the present stock
holders of the Blue Mountain Hotel
Co., or by a new company, of whom
the old stockholders will compose the
majority OF the members.
Such was the effect OF a statement
made by Harry G. Bond and John J.
Gibbons, who have been the lessees
OF the Blue Mountain House for the
last seven years. Both Mr.. Bond and
Mr.: Gibbons said that when the new
hotel was completed, they would take
a lease on 1t, such as the one they had
on the old hosiery. The old lease
gave them the right to a renewal each
year.
A barbed-wire fence has been erect
ed around the ruins Of the hotel
where thousands OF dollars worth o.
jewels and melted gold and silver
lies buried. The men keep conrinu-
GUS guard over them.
Placer mining as sure means OF
recovering not only the precious
stones lost in the fire which destroy
ed the Blue Mountain House but the
gold as well was suggested by G. g
Crooks, OF Baltimore, who is vel
known there. The proportion of jewel:
and precious metal said to be in thu
ash heap which remains of the Blue
Mountain House is known to be yer.
great. lit 10 certain that all the dia
monds, rubies and emeralds were no
destroyed in the fire, as they cal
stand a terrific heat. 1t is an cas-.
matter to clean these precious stone
OF the coating Of smoke and dirt ant
repolish them to their full brilliancy
ALI such jewels set i'm platinum would
be found intact, as platinum can b.
