A FAMILY REUNION FRANKLIN TEN May --iSpeCial Lot- ter)---The family of Rev )1 Geo )V Griffin held a reunion in this city Thursday May 5 Fourteen persons were present representing three generation Mrs Milton Jones of Chicago Mrs Mat Whitaker and little son Samuel of Winchester Tenn Griffin and wife and their two little boys Hunter and Vaughan of Union City Tean and Geo Griffin Jr and Griffin of Nashville were present After a separation of many years the reunion was a happy one When children grow up and leave the home of their childhood te seek their fortunes in distant lands the parents' hearts are made sore at the separation and it Is pleasant to note their return and by sweet intercourse strengthen the ties that always cliaracterize families who have been trelned under the influence of Christian parents The influence of a home like this a father's care and a mother's love is the only shield with which life's battles can be fought successfully And how glad is the parent heart made when a child returns to the roof-tree after many years With the imprint of such a victory in Its life Dr Griffin has gone to Longview Texas where he goes to accept an Importaut pastorate He will be followed in a few weeks by his wife and the four younger children of the family General expressions of regret were exchanged yesterday at the announcement of Dr Mc Perrin's death and resolutions were passed by various bodies expreesive of the feeling the surviving generation entertain over his loes The Southern Methodist Publishing House was cloeed and the doors hung with crape At 9 o'clock this morning there will be a on Birmingham Chattanooga and mint points be speaks as follows of Nashville: 'After breathing the dust and bearing the racket of these and ambitious towns the weary traveler is ready to seek harborage in the 'Athens of the old classic beautiful city of Nashville Be dreams as he goes of sitting on grass plots writing amorous verse: of seeing thoughtful students moving hither and yon of hearing august professors muttering their prayers in Latin of jostling against awful millionaires and lineal decendants of revolutionary heroes Well his dream is a pretty correct portrayal of the historic side of the city But there is a new Nashville and it certainly does look as if the triumphs of a manufacturing centre were to be added to the glories of age beauty and culture The city which has a population of about 75(00 is said( to be the richest per capita in the South' It has a banking capital of 154000000 a river (the Cumberland) which is navigable 400 miles up stream and to the Ohio down stream and an excellent railroad service With these superb advantages the people of the City have in past years been content with the business that naturally grew out of the agriculture and trade of Tennessee But not long ago they awoke to the fact that they were on the edge of the famous iron and coal fields of the State in a position to manufacture charooal iron and a great many other important articles of commerce at much better advantage than their neighbors The leading citizens therefore put their heads together and formed the Nashville Land Improvement Company This concern has coaxed a large number of manufacturers to locate on their tract which has been christened West Nashville and which they expect to see a city of 25000 people before many mouths are gone Of course there is to be a land sale It comes off on the of May I believe There appear' to be no reason why this venture should not be a WOMBS It is certainly much more promising than those schemes that

cotton ties rod and spike iron The patents are owned by Uri 11148- kin of McDonald Tenn Dilworth Porter Co of Pittsburg Pa are now the only parties operating under the patent and they have made a fortune out of it An investigation of the matter hu been set on foot and one of the leading citizens of this city states that he will take stock in a company organized to manufacture the goods at Weet Nashville The Land Improvement Company also has information from Pittsburg that if good potters clay can be found in a locality convenient to the new town a company will move from Pennsylvania and establish works in West Nashville Mr John Coyne inventor of an improved machine for the manufacture of nails and spikes is coming to Nashville from Pennsylvania to prospect In regard to the location of a mill in West Nashville He will probably be accompanied by his friend Mr Coedits Mr Coyne's machine appears to be a great improvement on those heretofore in use and it will pay persons interested in new inventions to make an investigation of It merits Mr Johnston of the firm of Davis Johnston Duncan leading manufacturer' of cigars in Pittsburg Pa will be in this city this week and will look into the claims of West Nashville as a location for one of his manufactories He is inventor and owner of machines for cigar making which are declared to be the beat known Be is doing an immense business in Pittsburg and there is no reason why he should not be equally successful in West Nubville There ought to be a great boot and shoe manufactory In West Nashville The businese in boots and shoes in this city is very large Nashville supplies a great ores of country with this class of merchandise and any concern that will engage in the manufacture in this vicinity will make a good profit in the saving of freights alone An effort is now being made to interest Morris Selz a millionaire boot and shoe man of Chicago Be is the sort of person who will appreciate the advantage" of manufacturing in West Nashville the millions of dollars' worth of booto and shoes which are distributed from this point every year It is only a question of time when Somebody will avail himself of this opportunity and the first concern on the ground will have a decided advantage over any that may come later A considerable number of Eastern men who bave beep speculating in Western lands and are convinced that the top has been reached in thatpart of the country are now turning their attention to Nashwille and vicinity Speculators who have had the wisdom to get out at the right time have a good deal of money to reinvest This porHon of the South has been a little slow per- 1 haps as compared with some sections but the improvement here resting as it does on a solid foundation is steady and sure West Nashville Is a good point for salting down some of the profits that have been made elsewhere That is the clan of capital which is coming here from many parts of the North Letters are received every day indicating that many hoards of money large and small arewaiting for the opportunity for investment in West Nashville Except for the betrayal of matters which are in their nature confidental many names of intending buyers of lots could be given The list covers sums of money ranging fromf3100 to $50000 To The American: It is perhaps a late in the day but I wild) here'and now to enter my eolemn protest against the surrender of the beautiful 'bank of the Cumberland west of the city to a lot of manufacturing companies It Is a base prostitution of a region made lovely by nature to the sordid purism" of a crowd of men who apparently have no other motive than a desire to make money Nashville is justly famed for the beauty of bar scenery and boom a high reputation as a center of education and culture Are we to allow our ancient city to be given up to the clatter of machinery and are we to see the moot attractive part of her suburbs in the clutches of a lot of corporations which will foul the air with the smoke of their mills? I am informed that a dozen or so of these manufaoturing concerns have already selected sites and that the Land Improvement Company propose to keep at their work till they get 150 factories of various sorts on their prop- erty It is like the descent of the Goths andirandals on the civilized nations of an-thrifty Can nothing be done about it? Want do we want of all this racket? Are We not rich enough now? Can we not be satisfied with our farms our schools our churches and all the blessings that a hundred years of growth have given us?
