DICK TOWN.

Sad indeed was the death of our
sister and friend, Mrs. Lilly Whit
ley, faithful member of the NJ. E.
Church. She was loyal member for
thirty years and was fifty-four years
of age. She was true to every call.
The church has lost a true and faith
full member and her place will be
hard to fill. She leaves three sons,
three daughters and several grand
children and host of friends both
white and colored. The funeral was
attended at the church by the pastor
and her remains were laid to rest in
the Dick Town Cemetery. Many out
of town friends also attended the
funeral. Sunday was a great day
here although we had a hard rain,
but it was gladly received as it had
been so hot and dry for several days

Truly the status Qou of the Negroes
of Nashville, may be summed up by
the above quotation. OF the histories
Of the institutions in the city, whose
influences have established this acre.
dited status, perhaps the history Of the
Colored Branch of the Y. NJ. G. A. be-
cause Of the brevity of its service and
the wholesome influence created, will
prove the most interesting for discus
sion.
Nashville needed a Y. NJ. c. A. for
the Negro men of Nashville long be-
fore one was opened in its midst. Not
that Negro men have not grown to sue
cessful manhood, without the institu-
tion, but that the percentage of those
who have not grown to successful man.
hood might be lessened. RETROSPECT
ton is the attitude of declining peo-
pie. Virile races look forward.
Only few decades ago, our people
were assidously training the girls and
women of the race. In our schools, at
the present time, the female outnum-
bers the male about three to one.
When this woeful condition of affairs
was brought to the attention of the
leaders, they commended that the num-
Der of females born outnumbered the
males. For a time this explanation
suffced, till mothers realized that after
settin gasire the appointed number Of
daughters, who might reasonably be
expected to die old maids, there were
still three trained girls to one trained
by. The laws of the land allow only
one wife to a man. Upon investiga-
ton, however, it was discovered that
the doubtful places Of amusement,
street corners and pool rooms were
filled with men and young boys. OF
course, these males could not be select
ed as husbands for these trained
females by their ambitious parents.
In many cases however, the trained
females thought differently and mar
ried these undesirable men. Even
some Of the females who according to
statistical reconings, should have died
incelibate, married also.
"Tempora mutantur, ct nos mutamur
in ills" Educators and Social Uplift
Workers are emphatically declaring
that in order to maintain the social
standard the males must be trained as
well as the females.
You will notice that we have used
the word trained" We did not use the
word educate" because to us the words
have different meanings. We are
primitive enough to believe that you
can educate and not train. We believe
that training is a greater accomplish
ment but can not be effective with
out education. Education can be of the
head only, but training must include
the head, heart and hand.
The Colored Mems Branch Of the Y.
NJ. c. A. is a monument to Right Liv-
ing, the outcome of unselfish effort.
The first campaign held by the Colored
forces of the city demonstrated the cal
ibre of the men Of Nashville. Their
efforts were not accuated by selfish
motives. OF the four gentlemen who
gave $1,000 each, oonly one has sons.
One has died since that time leaving to
posterity no issue. They, themselves

TEACHERS TO MEET IN NEW
ORLEANS.

New Orleans, La, July 16, 1917.
Those who attend the Fourteenth an
maui Session of the National Associa-
at New Orleans, La, July 25 to 20,
will have an opportunity to come into
direct contract with valuable historic
data as well as an opportunity to see
three of the leading educational In
stitutions for Negroes in the South. 1t
was here at New Orleans that the trans
fer of the Louisiana Province was
made to the United States in 1903. The
room is still preserved and the spot on
which and the table around which the
agreement was made can be sun
by visitors. The spot on which the
Battle of New Orleans was fought by
Jackson, in which the Negroes took an
important part, is of interest to visi-
tors from all sections of the country.

AUTO PARTY TO MAMMOTH CAVE.

One of the most enjoyable excur-
sions of the season was the Auto Party
to Mammoth Cave, KY, of which Rev.
and Mrs. H. A. Boyd were the host and
hostess. The party of seven left the
city in Mr.. Boyd's car about twelve
o'clock Saturday night. They arrived
at the Cave at twelve o'clock Sunday
having travelled one hundred and ten
miles.
The party passed through Goodlets-
vile, Shakertown, Springfield, Auburn,
Adairsville, Russellville, Bowling
Green, Glasgow Junction, and Cave
City. Mammoth Cave itself is one of
the seven wonders of the world. The
main avenue of the cave is sixty feet
high, forty-two feet wide and four
miles long. This avenue is called
Broadway. The Cave was discovered
in 1902 at which time hunter chased
a bear into its opening, however it was
in 1912 that spectators discovered
that it contained valuable mineral de-
posts and for number of years men
and oxen were busy mining these pro-

the water and alkali pipes are still
to be SEEN The pipes are very interest
ing being made of wooden logs with the
insides drilled out. There are two
rivers in the Cave. Echo River and
the River Styx. Pensacola Avenue and
Slippery Elm Street are also very in
teresting. The Board Walk which one
travels around the river Styx till it
joins Echo River is a very interesting
peice of crude carpentry.
Dinner was served in the Park
Reserve, after the party had gone
through the Cave. The journey con-
sumed about four hours. The return
trip was made Sunday night, the party
reaching the city at four o'clock. Aside
from Rev and Mrs. Boyd, in the party
were Misses Susie Crawley and Marie

will certainly reap no rich harvest
from the Institution. Of the three who
remain, one has passed the allotted
three score and ten mark. The con-
clusion reached therefore, from the
given premises is: that there are men
of the race, the motto of whose lives
is: Salus populi supreme est lex.
l am "a Negro consanguinty. To me
the greatest asset of the race is its
young men. Every young man in
Nashville should own membership
card to the Y. M. G. A.. If the young
men of your immediate family are
thOughtless, and do not yet realize the
benefit to be derived from such card,
you, as his mother, sister or sweet
heart, should present him with one.
A membership card costing $500 if
paid cash, would make lovely Christ
mas present.
Boys and young men are naturally
restless. There is a stupendous
amount of superfous energy that must
be expended. The Y M. G. A. can teach
them the right way of expanding that
energy.
When remodeled the Nashville Y. M.
c. A. for Negroes will be the finest in
the country. Its success depends on
the people Of Nashville themselves.
Insist that the young men of your &C.
quaintance join the Association. BY so
doing you will be instrumental in shap-
ing the destinies Of the next genera
ton. When time shall have whitened
your hair and you must lay the bur-
den that you are now carrying on the
shoulders of the young men, you can
sit complacently by and witness the
birth Of the next generation, assured
of the fact that no i'll can betide the
offspring because the mothers and
fathers have been trained morally,
mentally and physically.
