a new bank He will be named as
cashier of the institution and will

business is in thorough running or
der. George is not only one of the
best fellows in the world, but is
also one of the best known bankers
and business men in the country,

good fortune and pleasant sur
roundings possible.
M. A. Barker, who was in st.
Louis last week prospecting, has
secured first-class position with
M. Bollman Piano Company as city
salesman, to begin work on the LIST
of August. Mr.. Barker has been a
resident of Union City for a num-
Der of years, has built up fine
business and a good patronage all
over the county, and while he is to
be congratulated upon finding
promotion and pleasant location,
we regret his departure and that of
his excellent family from this
place.
r. H. Marshall and wife have
returned from Monroe to again re-
side in Alexandria. Mr.. Marshall
was employed in the Baptist
Chronicle Office here and went to
Monroe and was employed up to
last week on the Monroe Star. He
has accepted position with the
Town Talk and will have charge of
the job printing department. Mr..
Marshall is frst-class compositor
and very pleasant gentleman, and
he and his wife (who was Miss
Carrie Payne) have a host OF
friends here to welcome them back
to the Culture Great. "-Alexan-
dria Town Talk.
W. r. (B.) Moore, the great
high priest of education, was IN the
city Saturday, returning from the
Institute at Martin. He is now
principal of the Newbern High
School, b. Moore was one of the
best schoolmasters in Obion Coun-
ty, name inseparably linked with
the high school at Glass for a num-
Der OF years. The writer was in
his schoolroom at Troy once, and
while the teacher didn't have much
to work on, he did what he could
for us. 1t was little unpleasant
for the boys who didn't want to
study, but Moore never had drone
in his school; what he couldn't get
them to understand he drilled into
their heads by everlasting and per-
sistent work and he knew the best
and most thorough method of do
ing it. We understand the school
at Newbern is a fine one. 1t is
hardly probable that it would be
otherwise under the present leader
ship.
The Epwofth League Literary |
Club met Friday evening, May "a, |
with Miss Dorothy Robinson. The
regular program could not be rem
dered in line, as DR.. Mahon and H. |
c. Stanfield both had papers and
were absent. The president, Miss
Clark, being out of the city, Mrs.
Radebaugh presided in her place. |
After the roll call and reading
of the minutes, the question of dis
banding for the summer was |
before the club and it was voted
that they would meet no more till
September. Mr.. o. B. Radebaugh |
then read splendid paper on
"Luke's Purpose IN Writing the
Life of Christ" closing it with the
exhortation that we should endeav-
or to express Gods thoughts in our
actions. DR.. Mahon being absent,
G. w. Robinson read a few extracts
from commentator on Johns. Cos
pei, as to his purpose in writing
the lite of Christ, Miss Fannie
McMurry read fine paper on the
life and Character of John"
which made it easy for us to see
why he was called the Beloved
Disciple" Then proceeded the
general discussion led by Uncle
Andy Lawson. H. II Robinson
furnished the laughter for the
crowd with his reading an Irish
letter and Isaac the Merchant
Uncle Andy Lawson read some
beautiful selections from Tenny-
sons I'm Memoriarn," which was
so much, especiallyafter
