'Pll resign my position right now"
said the young man. "And let me as
sure you that nothing you can say
will influence me in my decision to
marry Marjorie"
Cyrus Halliwell rose from his chair
and emitted terrific roar. When he
lost his temper he was terror to his
employees. An autocrat, he ruled ev-
erybody, including his wife, by sheer
force Of personality. He was not a
brutal man, but he had cowed many

But to marry Marjorie would mean
poverty for her-at least, until John
could secure another position as good
as the one he was relinquishing. He
had had hard time since leaving col
lege, and his paltry savings would
hardly suffice to furnish their little
apartment
AS they stood together in the little
room which Marjorie had for her
boudoir, they heard the library door
open and Halliwell come out. He was
evidently in furious temper, for he
was raging and muttering to himself
He thrust on his hat and stamped out
of the house.

Marjorie, with sigh.

One woman who, Is a prominent

second thought, is smashing good

happy the next time you are worried

THE TRENCHES.

Perhaps there are dozens, yea hun
dreds of cases where young men who
were associates in school, classmates
and acquaintances at home who have
been thrown together in the trenches
somewhere in France. An instance
comes to the attention of the Nash
Vile people where two young men
were pals at school and at home and
are now comrades in the trenches,
Special attention is called to the
case of Lieut.. L. H. Gilmore of Co

of West Point, Miss. Both are pro-

MT. OLIVE HONORS
PASTOR c. H. CLARK
CONGREGATION SHOWS APPRE-
CITATION IN SUBSTANTIAL WAY
"A QUARTER OF A CENTURY
IN SERVICE AS PASTOR.

News has just gotten out that the
Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Cedar
Street, regarded as one of the largest
congregation in the state of Tenn,
has paid high tribute and honor to
their pastor, Rev. C. H. Clark, d. D.
While it is known that he has always
been held in the highest esteem by
his congregation which he has served
for the past twenty-six years, taking
charge of the church when they were
worshiping in a basement, the cohl
| gregatiop itself is said to feel that he
has been painstaking and interested
greatly throughout these years, as
shown by the constant devotion he
has rendered to them, 1t seems that
the various articles appearing in the
Nashville Globe from time to time
concerning under-paid preachers,
has stirred the congregation and the
! leaders to a deeper sense of duty and
responsibility.
In reviewing the work of the Rev.
DR.. Clark it was shown that the pre-
ent church edifice valued with its
furniture, organ, Sunday school aud
itorium, library, Cathedral art glass
windows complete in every detail
could not be replaced now for $75,.
10000, and that all this work has
been accomplished and the entire
church debt paid through the sterl-
ing qualities and far-sightedness OF
Rev. DR.. Clark, so that the congre'
cation felt that notwithstanding
Dr. Clark persisted in no financia
recognition, claiming that he was be
ing beautifully taken care of by hi'
people, they recently placed his sal
airy at $1800.00 per year This how
ever, is not the sum total according

EMPLOYEES FULL OF MTEREST-PUTs THEIR EFFORT
over THE TOP"

Upwards of 100000 worth of the
Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds were
taken by tic employees of the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing Board in a
special service which was given by
the Board to its employees Wednes-
day morning in Liberty Loan Drive.
AS a rule half hour is given for
chapel, during which time religious
services are engaged in. There was
no change from the order on Wednes-
day, because the usual prayers were
offered, song sungs, but the time was
extended. 1t was a patriotic meet
ing. The services opened by the
singing of America" then there
were prayers offered for the safety
and guidance of the heads of the
allied forces. Following this quite a
number of impromptu speeches were
made, bringing out number of facts
why the Negro should go the limit,
subscribe the full amount and thus
prove 100 per cent on another occa-
sion, in the Fourth Liberty Loan

To Mother and Father:
Today is Wednesday and it dawn

added touch to the glory of the day
unnoticed, in the six days just passed.
For several mornings we have been
greeted with showers that led us to
believe that we had at last arrived
in France. Lhave been told that it
rains daily for three months at this
season of the year, and l have pic
tured visions of mud and mire, wet
cold nights when the very hearts OF
soldiers would be chilled and our
souls would cry out and long for
home and loved ones, for fireside and
home comforts, which in days gone
by, were more or less undervalued

like all we have known here and il
is beautiful.

DEATH OF MISS CARRIE NAPIER

After an Illness of less than a
week, Miss Carrie Napier, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. 9. Napier died
Wednesday night The news of her
death spread rapidly over the city
and country as she was extremely
popular among the people of the
state.
Miss Napier graduated from Fisk
University, and from Bryan ant
i Stratton Business College, of Chica'
go, Ill. Since finishing literary work
she taught in the city schools o.
Nashville and at Tuskegee Institute
Ala, and during this year she ha(
been employed at Fisk University.
Scores of messages of condolenc,
have been pouring in upon the Nap
lier family since the news of he,
death became known. While Mis-
Napier's condition was regarded a
serious the early port of the week
considerably improved.

While the speeches were being
made, the pledge cards were passed,
then there were more speeches. AL
ready large number of the employees
of the Publishing House have joined
the colors, but practically every FAM
lily represented at the institution has
relatives in the army. In some fami.
lies as many as four have gone, others
are expecting to be called, so the
patriotic spirit at the institution is
at the highest ebb. The Colored
Women's National Council of Defense
was represented through Mrs. c.
j. White in an excellent talk, while
the national war aims were advocated
through Rev. Henry A. Boyd the
assistant secretary, the employees of
the Publishing Board as an institu-
tion were represented on the pro-
gram by Mr.. j, Blaine Boyd and Mr..
l.. Landers. The musical end of the
celebration was in charge of Mrs. NJ.
w. Title.
Throughout the services questions
were answered and a full explanation
! made about the purpose of the issuing
of the bonds and the worth of each
bond, how they could' be paid and
, how one might retire their subscrip
| tion early The Publishing Board
started the ball rolling by taking
$1,0O0.OO, this was followed by the EN-
ployees. At the conclusion it was
seen that nearly $5,0O0.OO had been
subscribed. It will be recalled that
during the Red Cross campaign the
National Baptist Publishing Board
was among the first organizations ir
the race to launch into the field and
they secured their certificate of 10(
per cent. Following close behind this
came. the War Savigs Society thai
has sold $4,000 worth Of War Sav
! ing Stamps, but Wednesday they
went far "over the top" in the drive
! put on for the Fourth Liberty oan.

DEATH OF MR.. WILLIAM KING.

Mr.. VIM. King of 1908 Scovel street
died Sunday morning at the residence
of his mother He had been in poor
health for two or three years but his
condition was never conJidered al
alarming. Last Saturday he was able
to be in the city and was with his rela-
tives as late as 1880 Saturday night,
after which he retired, assuring his
mother that he never left better. On
Sunday morning however, between
four and five o'clock he passed away.
1t seems that he must have had an
internal hemorrhage during the early
hours Of the morning and arose tying
to get elief. His mothe found him
sitting in chair about five o'clock
still warm, but life was extinct.
Funeral services over the remains
were held at the family residence
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. c. H. Clark
officiated.
A quartet from the National Bap-
tist Publishing Board furnished music
for the occasion. Mr. King was the
son of Mrs. Susie King, brother of
Mr.. Ranie King and Miss Nellie e.
King. He was a graduate Of the city
schools Of Nashville and a member OF
the Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
