ARMIsTICE DAY

factor may be.
No small amount Of colored CT
items express regret at the recep-
ton black soldiers received upon
their return to private life from

inclined to bemoan the fact that
the black men sleeping in Fland-

FISK PREPARES
FOR HOMECOMING


NASHVILLE, Tenn. = Fisk stu
dents are more interested in the
preparation for Homecoming this
year han ever before. The anci-
ent rival of Fisk will be the at
traction for the day, the More
house College football team. Home
coming this year will be celebrat-
ed on Thanksgiving Day which
will make it possible for many
more of the old graduates to re-
turn to Fisk for the holiday sea-
son than have been able to do SO
in years previous.
The fact that Fisk University
does not have a brass band has en-
couraged the students on band
or bust" drive for the Homecom-
ing. The Morehouse College Band
is planning to accompany its team
from Atlanta. There will be the
usual Homecoming parade in which
Miss Fisk" and her attendants
will lead. A high spirited Fisk
pep meeting will be held on the
eve of the game to which former
stars of Fisk football fame have
been invited. After the pep meet
ing the whole Fisk community will
witness mammoth bonfire, the
frame for which the freshmen have
already begun to assemble. The
Fisk girls will have their annual
blanket parade early Thanksgiving
morning at which time they will
encircle the building where the
Morehouse Tigers will be housed
to subdue them entirely by the
Fisk spirit.
Student committees have arrang-
ed additional yells and new cos
tunes provided in the gorgeous
old gold and blue colors for all stu
dents taking part in the field cere-
monies between halves. At this
time there will be the making of
various figures under the direction
of the Department Of Physical Ed
ucetion at Fisk, a snake dance and
then the annual presentation Of
Miss Fisk" and her attendants. A
reserved seat section is being pro-
vided for Fisk students, faculty
and alumni to make the work of
the cheer leaders easier. A recep-
tion-dance will be in the evening.

Mrs. Rutherford, born IN Column

20, 1877, had been Portland re-
sident for the past "a years. She
was known and blest for the kind
y encouraging WORDS given un-
failingly in her soft voice to old
and young alike, and for kindly
deeds done unobtrusively.
Funeral services for Mrs. Ruth
erford were held Saturday at Hol-
man and Lutz. and their spacious
rooms were filled to overlooking
with friends Of this good woman.
As the pipe organs mellow tones

full sermon. Afterwards, Mrs. Jes-
sic Coles Grayson, Mrs. Clifford
Freeman Dixon. and Mrs. Marcella
johnson sang their sweetest for
the last time for Mrs Rutherford.
All present felt the nearness Of the
living soul instead of the finality
of death. Tnis atmosphere was
heightened with the reading of a
hitherto undiscovered poem COM
posed 0y her in 1882. 1t was un-
named, and, like other poetry by
Mrs. Rutherford, it revealed this
honest sould was prepared to meet
her Maker. The talent for writing
such lovely verse had been mod
estly kept from the knowledge Of
even her best friends. The poem:
stood on the bridge one morning
AS the hurrying throngs passed by,
And my cheeks were kissed by
SUNSHINE
That streamed from Gods own
sky.
AS I looked on the hills beyond me
My throbbing heart was filled
with gratitude and gladness
That never can be stilled;
Gods sunshine softly whispered
To the sunshine of my soul
II am q symbol OF the light Of
Glory
That win ever and ever unfold"
Life's bridges are all before us,
And we cross them one by one,
Let us cross them bearing love and
service
Till that glorious sunshine is won!
Flowers were everywhere. These
friends acted as pail bearers as a
last service: Mr.. w. B. Brown.
Mr.. G. v. Grayson, Mr.. Loomis
Harris, Mr.. S. Golden, Mr.. VIII
Gragg, and Mr.. A. A. Jones. A
