The work had declined until the

DR.. Jones gave notice to his Board
several months ahead, that it was his
intentinO to retire from the work at
the close of the last session, and ask
ed that care be taken to choose his
successor. At the meeting of the Board
which met during Commencement
week In May, he rendered his resigna-
ton, and took an active part in choOs-
ing his successor.
Many expressions of regret came
from every source, at the retiring of
President Jones. Members of the
Board of trustees, members of the
student body, the alumni and the local
citizens Of Shelbyville. both white and

deepest regrets that the institution

worthy and faithful official and citizen.

the summer months in rest and travel.
feeling that he was in great need of
rest. Indeed before he had fully COM
pleted the task of moving from Shell.
byVille. to his home in Nashville, he
suffered collapse, and acting on the
advice of his physician, DR.. Matte o.
Coleman, he spent a period at the
Mile E. Hale Hospital, where he was
soon put on the road to a speedy re-
covery.
The election of DR.. L. ]. Johnson, of
Payne Chapel, to the presidency OF
Turner College, left the pastorate Of
that church open. DR.. Jones has been
assigned by the bishop to fill out the
uneXpired term of DR.. Johnson at
Payne Chapel. He is an experienced
pastor as well as a great educator
and the people of East Nashville may
expect some splendid service from one
of the foremost ministers Of the A.

Great Baptist Host Going
To Smyrna.
JUL HIS.

The Missionary Baptist State Con-
vertion will assemble in the greatest
meeting in the history of the Negro
Baptists in Tennessee. All Baptists
take note. The time of holding our
annual meeting has been changed
from the month of October to July.
The question Of great Theological
Seminary for Negro Baptists has been
settled. We have purchased most
magnificent site upon which stand
modern college buildings surpassed
by none for Negroes in the South
This Seminary is located in Nash
vile. What part Tennessee Baptists
sill play in paying for and maintain
ing it will be decided at the meeting
10 he held at Smyrna. Let every
God-fearing Baptist come to this con-
yention prepared to give something
and subscribe more Let every race
loving Baptist come and bring or
send something. Let every Baptist
church subscribe literally to our ed
ucational freedom. We want to raise
in cash and pledges or subscriptions
ten thousand (s10,O0O00) dollars. Re-
member the subscriptions may be
paid in cash or in annual payments.
Don't worry your mind with the
question, Can it be done?" 1t has
been done already, therefore come
and play your part in this grand and
noble achievement. Every young
man and young woman, every old
man and old woman, should have
part in this epoch-making movement.
Many are not waiting until the Con-
Vention meets, but have already sub
scribed from $50 to $500. We have
decided to first help ourselves and
then call on our friends to assist us
II you believe in DIR doctrine, If YOU
are in the progressive class of Negro
Baptists, we will hear from YOU on
or before July Ills.
j. l.. HARDING, President.
