Death of Capt. Latta.

Capt. J. w. Latta, after months
of patient suffering and the recent
loss of his beloved companion, sue
cumbedIto the irresistible forces of a
fatal malady and Wednesday morn
ing last surrendered his spirit to
the Supreme Being.
Mr.. Latta was united in mar
riage about 38 years ago to Miss
Bette Mcdonald, of Gibson Coun-
ty, and soon afterwards came to
Union City to reside. A daughter,
Miss Lula. was born, who died at
the age of 20 years. Capt. Latta
was a conspicuous figure in the
business and public enterprises of
the city. He had been engaged
during a greater portion of the
time in the hardware and under
takers business, but of recent years
his health became impaired and he
retired from active duty. He was
born and reared in Madison County,
and was always esteemed as a
friend and a neighbor, a man of
sound business judgment, and a
nature genial and kind. At the
time of his death he was Y years of
age, his wife having preceded him

FOR A SOUTHERN MAN.

Anent our suggestions and the
remarks of the press over the
South respecting the claims of a
Southern man to aspire to the
Office of President, William j.
Bryan gave his views in Washing
ton a few days ago on this topic
as follows: ''The South should
not he eliminated from the pres
idential territory simply because
it was the South. But the best
man for President should be Sc
lected, from whatever section he
hailed. In 1898 he advocated
among friends at the Chicago con-
Yention the choice of a Southern
man for Yice-President.
"Mr. Bryan did not state why he
thought it would be good politics
to select a Southerner for Pres
ident next time, but confined him
self to the question of the elimina-
ton of the South from presidential
selections simply because the South
is already Democratic and will re-
main SOLID for an indefinite time.

A CROWD FOR BRYAN

William j. Bryan will probably
he heard by one of the biggest
crowds ever assembled in Union
City next Thursday. 1t Is true
that he is not as formidable as he
has been before the people and that
his views on the silver question
were not to be recoDciled by thou
sands who followed him and many
Democrats who did not, yet to-day
and ever he is one of the most at
tractiye public men in the world.
Although defeated twice for the
Presidency, he made two of the
most remarkable political cam
palgns in all history, attracting
more attention, perhaps, than
any other public speaker of the
past or present. His bitterest
enemies cannot consistently and
few attempt to deny his honesty
and sincerity-a man of simple
mold, yet full of the magnetism of
the sages of oratory.

THE PEABODY AT MARTIN.

The Peabody Institute at Martin
has not been the unqualified sue.
cess anticipated by State Superin-
tendent Fitzpatrick in moving il
from Union City to that place.
The following interesting figures
show that Obion County still takes
the lead among its neighbors on
educational lines. OF the total
number of $50 teachers enrolled,
80 hail from Obion County, and of
the entire class of 16 taking the reg
ular secondary course, II are in
structors in the schools of this
county. This is the result of
the Superintendent judgment in
changing the location of the Insti-
tute from Union City to Martin.
Out of half the counties in West
Tennessee, one fifth of the teachers
attending the Institute are from
Obion, and over two thirds Of the
class in the principal course of
training are those Engaged in teach
ing in Obion County. Then, what
has been gained in moving the In
stltute to Martina Union City has
better facilities and accommoda-
tionS than any of it's neighbors to
take care of its visitors, and it
seems to be the most popular loca-
ton, Judging from the interest
heretofore taken in the Institutes
held here. They were always we'll
attended and highly successful in
every particular. We are of the
opinion that the Superintendent
would do we'll to reconsider the
matter next year and come back to
Union City, where the most sue
cessful Institute meetings have
been held.

Explanation.

w. G. Paris, managerof the Georgia
Opera House, Dyersburg, writes tt
S. d. Woosley, of the Little Tycoon
Company, as follows:
Will say that / have interviewed
several OF our patrons and am afraid
that ON account of the extremely
warm weather, which in all probabll-
ity will continue until the 4th, we
shall not be as successful as we wish.
| am inclined to believe that ii
would be wise to postpone the affair
until later, as there Is to be nothing
at all here that day, and a great
number of our people seem to have an
idea Of going to Fulton and other
places for the day.
/ am sure from personal canvass
of our theater-goers that you would
not have paid expenses, and am also
quite sure that later in the season,
when the weather is little cooler, we
can play to a $225.00 house.
Your company should congratulate
themselves that they have missed IL,
as the stage and dressing rooms are
worse than the auditorium.
With kindest regards and best
wishes for you and your comdany, i
am, yours truly,
w. G. PARIS, Manager.
The above explains why Mr. Woosley
did not take the Little Tycoon Opera
to DYersburg for the Fourth, as was
announced.

Welded at Dickson.

Mrs. h. H. McClanahan and sis
ter, Miss Daisy Briggs, who have
been visiting Centreville, on their
return last week, were met at
Dickson by Jas. Hunter, of Centre
Vile, and in less time than it takes
to make a business contract or to
join a secret society, wedding
was arranged and Mr.. Hunter and
Miss Briggs were united in marriage
in Dickson while waiting for the
arrival of a west bound train for
Union City. Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter
then proceeded with Mrs. McClan-
ahan on the journey home, where
they have been enjoying their hon.
eymoon for several days. Miss
Daisy is a charming young lady,
and there were, no doubt, great
many friends who were anxious to

nate young Middle Tennessean,
who lost no time in winning and
his bride. They will re-

We understand r. L. Bynum,
our worthy County Superintend-
emf of Public Instruction, is can
didate for the post of Commander
of the United Sons of Confederate
Veterans Of Tennessee, to be elect
ed at Lewisburg in October. There
are none better fitted or more capa-
BILE of assuming this command
than Mr.. Bynum. He is a self
made man, having by his own in
dustry, determination and ability
educated and gained for himself
the highest educational position
in the county. Not only that, but
he is descended from stock of
brave soldiers, a moral and physi-

This is, in fine, the claims his
