Mrs. Georgia Gordon Minor Taylor.

Mrs. Georgia Gordon Minor Taylor.
In the death OF Mrs. Georgia Minor
Gordon Taylor, Nashville has lost
most estimable woman. She was in
truth a great and noble woman. A
servant of humanity and a servant OF
the Most High. We feel that her life
can best be tod by one who knew
her in childhood, and who was always
in close touch with her, Mrs. M. l..
Crosthwait pays this tribute to the
deceased:
Did | know Georgia Gordon Taylor?
! knew her as early as | knew any
one My brother, whom | never saw,
as he died ere my birth, shared his
nourishment from my mother with
her. Thus she became in a way my
foster sister | can see her now, a
jolly playful little girl. The charac-
teristic Of seeing the fun in everything
did not leave her as the years went
by. During my last conversation with
her we had a hearty laugh about some
OF our nonsense of earlier days. Her
disposition was naturally cheerful and
hopeful, and in childhood was often
made manifest by a ringing, care-free
laugh that did ones soul good to hear.
Indeed, the cares and sorrows of after
life served only to mellow her vivaci-
ty, never to destroy it.
She was truth personifed. If other
people battered you, when you reached
Georgia, you got the truth straight.
If she felt that what she wished to
say was very unpleasant, she would
Just turn her head and say "Umph. "
That little sound sometimes spoke
louder than many words. She was a
faithful friend. Trouble, gossip, envy
never shook her faith in one who had
her confidence. The sympathetic
word, the kind act, the helpful sugges
ton we're to be forthcoming to heI
friends if they underlined any sort O.
trouble. II the difficulty seemed
trivial one, she would probably pa
you on the shoulder and laugh YOU
out OF it,
To him whom Georgia took to b
her lifelong COMPANION she gave thi
same faithful help. She studied hi
business interests, and for year
stood shoulder to shoulder with hir
in his work. We know he will mis-
her. Yes, all her friends will mis-
her. It seems dark and lonely sine
she has gone We know, however
that this separation is only for awhile
'Lovewi dream end Faith will trust
tSnce he who knows our need is ustl
That somehow. somewhere meet we must
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress treesl
Who hopeless lays his dead away
Nor looks TO see the bre kirR DAY
Across the mournIul marbles play;
Who hath not learned in hours Of faith
This truth IN flesh and sense unknown;
That life is ever lord of death
Andl love can never loose itS owi!'

sity, gave brief history of the life
Oh the deceased. He said in part:
Georgia Gordon was born in
Nashville, September "a, 1855 She
attended the public schools and also
attended Fisk University when it was
first opened in the Soldiers Barracks.
When the Jubilee Singers went out
en- their missio nto secure money for
the help OF the institution, she went
with them She was later married to
the Rev. Preston Taylor, and was the
mother Of one child, which died in its
infancy She was of a generous dis
position, helping many worthy causes
" gifts and counsel, free of charge.
She has been help to her husband
in all of his work
The faculty and students of Fisk
University remember her as Jubi-
lee singer and always hear her name
in connection with the story of the
Jubilee singers. Her name is cher
isheo. in the University, and every
year she is thought of with greater
and greater appreciation. When we
were getting up large concert to be
gwen at Ryman Auditorium for the
Fiek Endowment Fund, she was one
4 OF the first to purchase tickets. She
was loyal to The school and she WI.
always be we'll remembered by us.
In c.osing he extended his sympathy
to the family, church and community
"reminiscences were ,len heard
from Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, pi
ans of the Fisk Jubilee Singers and
one of the original troupe, who trav
eled abroad with Mrs Taylor singing
'>7fore kings ana queens. In her re
marks she said: 81 ong before Fish
Jubilee Singers came forth we went
out every l'riday and Saturday in the
c.Cy of Nashville and nearby towns
singing in order to secure money fol
Fisk. We then went forth with Fisl
Jubilee Singers to secure money tt

Or. Washineton's Address.

At Fisk Commencement Wednesday
morning, DR.. Booker T. Washington
delivered an address to the gradual
ing class that was a wholesome ad-
monitio nto every one present It is
never expected that the Wizard of
Tuskegee will deliver other than a
wise and logical address, but on this
occasion his words were timely, owing
to the surrounding conditions. He
did not bring any new doctrine; it
was the same common sense, practi.

and in other countries; but there are

Swing low, sweet chariot" was
next sung by the Jubilee Quartette,
after which few remarks were
made by Elder A. N. c. Williams,
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Franklin, who told of how she aided
Rev. Taylor in the building of his
church. Remarks were then made by
DR.. r. Lin Cave, pastor of the Wood
land Street Presbyterian Church, who
has known Mrs. Taylor for years
and who has known Rev. Taylor from
childhood. He said that the colored
race was beginning to realize that
fe was worth while and that they
must have the confidence of their
own race and also of the white race.
A tribute was then paid by DR..
Carey Morgan who, though a stran-
ger, had gathered full estimate of
/ the life OF the deceased and endorsed
what had been said. He spoke OF
. the beautiful designs as tributes Of
respect.
The closing remarks were then
made by Rev. w. H. Dickerson. He
said: 1--WE shall not know the worth
and influence of our dear sister who
has gone to her home on high, in thi.
life, ,ut we shall know it better wher
the mists have rolled away" He
told of the many messages that ha(
been received by Rev. Taylor in hi'
hour of bereavement These mes
sages appear elsewhere. Rev. Dick
erson said further that life does no
consist in satisfying sense of hear
ng, sight or touch, but the creates
thing in life that is said of charac

believe such was the case at Fisk Uni
versity on the morning of the COM
mencement exercises.
Fisk University has passed through
a trying year. DR.. Washington said,
the friends of the institution had been
tested, but We want to be more per-
sonal and say that the Negroes Of
this country have been tested; and
we believe that they have been
aroused to a realization of the fact
that the destiny of Fisk University
is in their hands. If this is true the
address delivered by DR.. Washington
on last Wednesday morning will re-
suit in great good.
The ten millions of Negroes in this
country must be saved; they must be
enlightened; they must be made bet

who are graduating from our colleges

said by DR.. Washington, the educat
ed can no longer excuse themselves;
it is their burden, and it Is thell
bounden duty to shoulder it and bea'
it to a pinnacle and then hail the
world TO look thereon.
There is no disputing the truth tina

The Lyceum theatre in Toledo has
had many strong attractions this sea-
son, many of them features. The sea-
son is fast drawing to close and Mr..
Walter Moore, the hustling manager,
has been on the lookout for something
for his many patrons way above the
average, and when Walter starts to
look for thing you can rest assured
that he is. going to land it. We have
known for some time that he has had
something up his sleeve-but not until
today would he give anything out for
publications. here is his big treat
he has in store for next week, begin
ming Monday, April 2sth. The offer
ing will be Edward E. Roses latest
and strongest drama, never seen in
Toledo before, which is described as a
political drama entwined with a story
of love and devotion, entitled "The
Grey Hawk"
The plot deals with the political am
bitions of Paul Standish, independent
candidate for the Office of governor
of the state, whose ideals are to rid

the state of ring of grafters and
corrupt politicians. The bosses in
power become worried over the
strength he has and attempt to bring
about his defeat by scandal and black
mail. "The Grey Hawk" female
spy of international fame, now in the
employ of the U. S. Secret Service,
through her cleverness and intuition,
proves to be the stumbling block which
illustrates the plans of the grafters.
1t is. said that the plot of the play
is based upon facts which will at
once be recognized as public politi-
cal scandal which received much pub
licity during the last campaign-and
in the dramatization of these facts,
Mr.. Rose has used care to conceal
nothing that would appeal to the
lovers of fair play.
Mr.. Albert Phillips and Miss Leila
Shaw, well known to all theater-goer
will be seen in the leading roles, and
Mr.. Rose has used exceptional care in
selecting supporting cast which will
give the portrayals of the characters
true to life

The number of deaths among avia-
tors is larger than it was because the
number of aviators and the number
of trips are larger. Really the rate
of mortality in aviation is undergoing
steady reduction. European statisti-
clans assert that last years deaths
of aviators averaged only one for
each one hundred thousand miles of
air flight, whereas the rate was one
for each one thousand miles of flight
as recently as three years ago.

Goowin and twenty others
