""Doings^" at Nashville 



The spirit of "get together"' that has been manifest in Xashville 

 for the last year has culminated in the organization of a thoroughly 

 competent business association known as the Nashville Lumber- 

 men's Club. 



To thoroughly carry out its objects this organization recently, 

 co-operating with the Commercial Club of Nashville, has completed 

 a handsome club house occupying four floors of a new double front 

 business block on one of the principal corners of the city. 



On Thursday evening, .lanuary IG, at this club house was held the 

 annual Itanquet of the Nashville Lumbermen's Club. In all details 

 the affair retlected no little credit on the new club for the way iu 

 which both the business and the general "fundom" were handled. 

 At the banquet table were seated well towards one hundred and fifty 

 members and a few guests. It was the largest gathering of Nash 



ville lumbeniieu ever known in the history of tlie trade. Four tables 

 reached nearly the entire length of the banquet room, and in the 

 center was a large round table, around which v.ere seated the officers 

 of the club and its guests. 



The room was most tastily decorated with flowers and plants, and 

 the entire scheme was set ofE with a bank of flowers on the center 

 table. Good music and a vaudeville entertainment followed the 

 dinner. 



Hamilton Love, president of the Lumbermen's Club, acted as 

 toastmaster of the evening in a most admirable manner. 



Sundry telegrams of regret were read by the toastmaster, and 

 Lewis Doster, secretary of the Hardwood Manufacturers' Associa- 

 tion, was then introduced. He gave a happy speecli, during which 

 he paid a tribute to the memory of the late John B. Ransom, and
