The National Superintendent for the
colored work of the W. C. T. U., Mrs.
Eliza Peterson, has been spending
some days in Nashville. Her visit has
been looked forward to with a great
deal of interest and her coming has
proved an inspiration to all who came
in conlact with her. On Thursday
night Mrs. Peterson gave an address
at the Negro Carnegie Library, where
despite the severe weather a number
of friends were present to welcome
her.
She gave a splendid message, tolling
about the groat W. C. T. V. convention
in Washington, I). C., which she had
recently attended, as well as speak
ing about the encouraging features of
the temperance cause generally.
On Monday night, Dec. 17th Mrs.
Peterson spoke at a call meeting of the
W. C. T. U. held at the Fireside
School headquarters, 012 Gay street.
Again her message was most helpful
as she outlined plans of work for the
local Union to follow and spoke of the
various departments of the National
W. C. T. U. A generous offering was
received which was a slight expression
of the esteem In which Mrs. Peterson
is held by her friends in Nashville.
During Mrs. Peterson's stay in the
city she has been busy visiting
schools and other places where she had
the opportunity. Roger Williams,
Walden and Fisk University have been
blest with her presence, also State
Normal A. and I. While in Nashville
Mrs. Peterson has made her headquar
ters at the Fireside School where all
have been helped by her consecrated
personality.
