TWO BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL
NrDpEEpG

At the headquarters of the Sunday
School Congress this week the secre-
tary gave out that he had received
notice of two of the leading Sunday
school workers of the Lone Star State
who had already notified hi mthat they
are coming to the Sunday School Con-
gress. They are Mr.. Leroy Russell
and Prof. l. k Edmonds. Mr.. Russell,
although a young man, declares the
secretary of the Congress, is one of
the liveliest Sunday school powers in
this country. In his reyort to his
church on the first Sunday in January
he shows that more than 100000 had
been raised in his Sunday school last
year, whoch is over $4,000 month,
and that they had an attendance dur
ing the year of a little over 10000,
which is nearly 1000 per month. Mr..
Russell with Prof. Edmonds are the
only two of the many hundreds OF
front-line Eunday school builders who
will show Nashville some things dur
ing the Congress.

BRANSFORD REALTY COMPANY
REMEMBERS PATRONS

For anumber of years the Brans'
ford Realty Company of this city has
it's patrons during the
Christmas season. The past Christ
mas was no exception. To the hun
dreds of people who have patronized
this company there were prepared
and presented to them tokens of re-
from what is easily one
of the most substantial and best
known companies in Nashville. To
the hundreds of patrons there was
given bag of assorted fruit about
the size of a fifty pound flour sack.
The fruit cnosistet of oranges, ba-
nanas and raisins. To man yof the
larger patrons there was presented
a box of oranges, fresh from the
grange groves of southern Florida,
Other remembrances of various kinds
were sent out. Reviewing the work
( the Bransiord Rea ty Company, it
is noticeable that some of the best
homes owned by Negroes in Nash
vile were purchased by them from
this company. through whose liberal
and easv term payments, hundreds
have purchased and paid for homes
Who otherwise would still be renting,
IS il would have been utterly i'm
possible for them to secure a house
and lot, as they were not able +"
meet the demands of real estate men
re. resenting owners, an1 who were
asking for money as cash payments
that thew could not get together.
But in the Bransford Realty Com.
many places a small first payment
with easy monthly payments, where
the interest is taken care of in each
note The Negroes Of Nashville
have been encouraged in the home
buying and home building habit
While the Realty Compay has been
very active and boasts of having
the most liberal and easy payments
is learned that they have gone q
step further, and whatever objection
able we have had, the old plan has
been entirely eliminated.
There is no last big payment. The
notes are equally divided and arr
payable monthly. Another feature
to which the colored patrons are
being attracted is the acquisition o

IS 1T STRANGE?

AS civilization FORCES forward, or
appears to forge forward, it seems to
become more expensive to live. Why
should this be so? We cannot get
away from the belief that true en-
lightenment should go hand in hand
with simplicity. and simplicity is net
expensive. Even the burial of the
dead is sham and tawdy display Of
cheap adornments made insultingly
expensive.

Savings.

When the Company first opened
business it did not pay much atten-
ton to the Savings department OF
our bank, as our people knew sucl
a little about saving. But for the last
few years We have been giving spe-
cial attention to the savings depart
ment, so we have in this department
more than $l4,OO0.0O This means
growth to both the bank and the peo-
pie, as it shows that our people are
learning how to save as well as 20
spend what they earn.
