NEW DYNAMO.

A fine new dynamo of the latest
improved type will in few weeks
take the place in the city's electric
light plant of the old one which is
now of insufficient power to fur
nish the city with lights. The
new machine will come from the
General Electric Company's works,
and will have a capacity of $50
kiIowatts, equivalent to more than
three times the generating power
of the one now in use. The water
and light committee, headed by
Mayor Walker, was authorized by
the council last week to make the
purchase, and with the assistance
of Superintendent Alexander an
order has already been placed for
a new dynamo. As soon as the
work of putting in the new ma
chine can be accomplished, the citi-
.zens of Union City can have all
the electric lights they want.
Churches, schools, halls, theaters,
business houses and residences,
streets and parks may be thor
oughly lighted without any fear
or danger of overlooking the plant,
and this may be done for several
years unless Union City takes a
sudden leap in growth out of her
present proportions. Those who

Union City is moving forward

verse comment to the contrary
Notwithstanding. We have one
criticism to offer, however, and nc
administration, by the way, is to
be held accountable for it, and
that is the construction of crushed
limestone sidewalks. They are an
abominable nuisance. Better to
string out couple of boards. A
walk with two boards would be
infinitely better. The limestone
walks tear up the bottoms of your
shoes; they are miserably uneven
and hard to walk on, and liable to
trip and precipitate an old person
to the ground. Some are mixed
with gummy earth, but these get
awfully muddy when it rains. The
only walk of this kind worth
farthing is the one leading to the
railroads On Mary street, and the
of this walk made it
more expensive than brick walk.
If we can't have brick walks we
always advocated the use of the
best, even if we had to limit the
amount)-then let us have the next
best-the board walk, and we are
sure the citizens will approve the
suggestion. As we said before,

sponsible for this. They are all

| THE crowded business houses
and the rush of custom this fall
coming from home and abroad tells
the tale of prosperous people,
and speaks more for the credit and
reputation of Union City merchants
than all other signs or language.
Already have we enjoyed distinc
ton as one of the greatest shop
ping centers in West Tennessee,
but it remained for the presentsea-
son to witness the climax of our
trade. When this is told, you
need not think it is an item simply
to occupy space. The mercantile
business this fall in Union City up
to the present time has been abso-
lutely and incontrovertibly phe-
nomenal. When we say that the
department stores, dry goods,
mems furnishings and other houses
have enjoyed an increase in VOL
ume of business over last falls
heavy sales of forty to fifty per
cent, you may be surprised, but
it is nevertheless a fact, and the
statement will be eorroborated by
the proprietors of these houses.
AS we said before, there are no
better merchants in the United
States, and you can call them en-
terprising or what not; they have
certainly kept handsome stores and
the class of goods which have
drawn custom to Union City. If
every other man in the place was
as enterprising as the merchant,
Union City would never suffer the
loss of a good opportunity. She

A WATER SUPPLY.

Mayor Walker was right when
he took the position that the city
finances were not in condition to
meet the demand of an expense of
$1,000 for an artesian well, and
that without any guarantee of a
flow of water, and we believe
Messrs. Hardy, Greer and other
gentlemen concede the point, but
these gentlemen are also right in
their position that the city should
and must have an additional sup.
ply of water before another sum-
mer's drouth is upon US. Recog-
nizing this fact we are glad to re-
port that new plan has been sug-
gested and heartily approved, and

price per foot and guarantee an

1T is DIFFERENT NOW.

Once upon a time students of
medicine held the notion that
there were as many different
diseases as the body has organs
and parts; every one of these
ailments requiring a different
treatment. So stupid a mistake
could lead only to miserable fail
ures. For the fact is, the body
is a single machine; and what
concerns one part of it concerns,
more or less closely, all the
rest. Thus we see how it hap
pens that one remedy, or mode
of treatment, may relieve and
cure variety of complaints,-or
what may appear like a variety,
but are really various forms or
outcomings of the same cause.
Take, for example, Anemia, Scro-
fula, Poverty of Blood, General
Debility, Influenza, Throat and
Lung Diseases, etc.-a formidable
array indeed they look to be; yet
