FOR THE
d
Parlor, an
Chapel
One of the most beautiful pictures in the home, a
church or a Sunday school, is an organ one that
is built to suit the home, the congregation and
the financial condition of the people. This is what
a National Baptist organ will do.
The parlor organs are in three
styles:
Style No. 2 is 5 octaves, action
B, oak case only.
Style No. 3 is 5 and 6 octaves,
oak case only.
Style No. 5 is 5 and 6 octaves,
case is oak or walnut.
Style No. 75 is our new de
sign. It is quarter sawed, golden
oak polish and is put up in a six
octave dase.
SOLD FOR CASH OR ON IN
STALLMENT TERMS.
Lillian Ba&Ker with such singular
grace and with every participant mov
ing in auch perfect rhythm, that many
of the figures received unstinted ap
plause, in ail it was one .01 the pret
tiest drills that has ever been pro
duced In Nashville. Miss Georgia A.

Following the drill a novel menu
contest was held, in which each guest
was given an opportunity to display
his or her ingenuity at naming the ten
things that were to be served at
luncheon. The names o the articles
to be guessed appeared in various
parts of the double parlors as riddles
The first prize, a book of toasts, went
to Miss Esther Pinkard. Mr. D. Wes
ley Crutcher captured the consolation
prize after u spirited contest with four
other guests.
In the true spirit of All-Hallowe'en,
the witch was present with fortunes
for all. Several of these fortunes
scored distinctive hits. For luncheon,
the members of the H- T. G. M. Club
were masked in weird ghostlike ap
parel and auctioned off to the gentle
man bidding the highest number of
peanuts. The Bradford residence was
decorated attractively, though ex
t.mmelv odd aDDearins with hobtrrli-
Una, black cats', IL T. G. M. Club
banners and the club colors. The
rlinlni? room was the marvel of all.
The table was covered with beautifuf
doth in autumn colors and lighted by
candles with shades to match. In the
center was a huge pumpkin filled to
overflowing with the most luscioiib
fruits and surrounded by tiny black
cats with shining yellow eyes. Scat
tered over the cloth in artistic de
al sms were autumn leaves and chrys
anthemums. Bonbon dishes filled with
mints were placed at regular intervals
ouitsldie the circle of kittens making
the table an ideal creation of abun
dance and weird Hallowe'en phantasy.
Those oresent were Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Bostic, 'Mir. and Mrs. Louis Berry,
Mesdames Andrew Cartwright, Lula

DEATH OF MISS H. MYRA
NORTON.
A very sad accident happened at
the school Wednesday, October 16.
Miss H. Myra Norton, Instructor of
Domestic Economy, was standing in
tho salesroom with her back to the
stove, talking ito Miss Wallace. In
some unexplained manner her clothing
took fire and when noticed was burn
ing fiercely. Besides Miss Wallace
there was no one In there at the
tiiriA excent one of the girls. The
Kifht nf ithe fire rendered them so
j- p-5 vf
nervous and excitable and everything
happened so quickly, that she was
f.ntallv burned before they could ren
rfpr anv effective assistance or even
summon heln. After the fire was put
out she was carried to the Infirmary
an! evervthine possible that medical
skill and careful nursing could de
vise was done for her, but all to no
avail. She sank gradually and shortly
before supper expired. Over two
thirds of her body was burned and re
covery, of course, was a matter of Im
possibility. Her people were com
municated with by telegraph and at
their request it he body was buried
here. The floral offerings from the
school, the faculty and student body
were beautiful. Miss Norton was
held in high esteem by all and heT
iintimplv taklne off caused genuine
sorrow and regret. It threw the whole
-: school in gloom.
Tim funeral took place Friday. at 11
o'clock. Slowly and sadly the stu
dent body filed into the beautiful new
memorial chapel, a subdued quietness
prevailed. There was no hum as
usual, buit stillness. The beautiful
service of the Church was read ana
Archdeacon Russell n most feeling
and touching terms referred to the life
and character of the deceased, taking
occasion to press home in their rela
tion to life and death the beautiful and
simple truths of the Bible in a most
impressive manner. The vested choir
sang two beautiful hymns and then
the remains, followed by the faculty,
the whole situdent body and members
of St. Paul Benevolent Society, were
taken to the cemetery. -The choir
siang "Asleep in Jesus," and tenderly
and lovingly her mortal remains were
lowered into the open grave, the com
mitment services read, and amid
audible sobs and tears the last sad of
fices were performed and tho proces
sion returned to the school. The
Southern Missioner (Lawrenceville,
Va.)
Miss II. Myra Norton was for some
time matron at Hoffman Hall, and
subsequently preceptress at Waiden
University.
H. T. G. M. CLUB OBSERVES HAL
LOWE'EN.
Hallowe'en was very fittingly cele
brated with an ait home In honor of
the II. T. G. M., by Miss Georgia A.
Bradford at her residence on Four
teenth avenue, North, last Thursday
evening. The members of the Club
were all appropriately gowned for the
main number of the evening, which
was a Hallowe'en drill. This drill was
executed under the direction ol Mis!
This is the name of a new company
that has been organized and chartered
under the laws of the state within the
past week. The incorporators are all
wide-awake, progressive men wno in
tend to give for the benefit of the col
ored people an annual state ana
county fair. Under the leadership of
Prof. F. G. Smith, the principal of
Pearl High School, and in obedience to
his call seven men met, discussed the
object of the call and went into per
manent organization. Ail agreea xuai
the time was ripe and that the psy
chological moment was at hand when
the colored people should hold a State
Fair of their own.
The purpose of tho organizaition as
set forth in the charter is for the "ad
vnnppmcnt exhibition, exposition and
dissemination of the products' of art
and trade, the farms, and schools of
th colored neonle of Davidson County
and the State of Tennessee. The
company is capitalized at $10,000, di
vided Into 10,000 shares of $1.00 each.
The organizers intend this company
to be a company of the people, and for
that reason have fixed the shares at
$1.00 each, so that the humblest la
borer might take a part in it. Steps
will be taken immediately to give the
first annual Fair some time next
Fall, either In September or October.
The Association Is strictly Negro,
the money invested In it is Negro
money, and Its officers and helpers are
all to be Negroes. No time, labor,
pnprv or money will be spared to
mnke this new enterprise a complete
success. The names- of the incorpo
