The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1903-09-18

to sit up all night, when no one IS
sick, I shall put up his horse and
ask him to bed. l can testify to its
curative qualities. It is equal to
TUFTS pills or porous plaster
We have had two highly appreci-
ated compliments paid us. One bY
Mr.. Badger, the Nashville Amerl-
cans correspondent. through its
columns, and the other by that
whole souled business man, George
Hardy. Of Union City. Now, we
feel unworthy Of having SUCH hca
duets thrown at us, but are thank
full to have attracted the attention
of such men, They will please &C
cept our thanks and when we have
prosecuted our English and Latin
sufficiently to command the Ian
guage to express ourselves. we
will return the compliment.
A continual downpour of grape
shot and "glmpson seed at old Fort
Barleycorn caused us to investigate,
and the fact was revealed that No.
Tens flower garden had exploded.
The mistress of English and Latin
criticisms; the little Nashville OF
the American navy had trained her
battery on our fort and was she'll
,, ing us, but we want to report no
one killed or injured But, alas!
our friend, Truthseeker, thinking
us in danger, trained his Calling
gun on the enemy and literally dis
abled the little Nashville forever,
) for which he will please accept our
heartfelt thanks. We know of a
truth that Gypsy was right, tor
when we began to read Truthseeker
r we collapsed and then rallied, and
relapsed and rallied again, but
when we real his farewell shot at
the Professor of the Vanderbilt, we
again collapsed, and by granny, we
are not certain that we will ever
get ger it fully.
We see where Mr.. A. l.. Parrish
has been elected principal of the
Mckenzie public school. Now, is
this "Blucher" Parrish? If so, the
good people of that city are to be
congratulated. We knew Butcher
L when he was little boy and he had
the reputation of being both smart
! and good We used to hitch ou1
mule at his fathers gate, but he
s. was not the attraction. 1t was his
4 half-sister, Miss Emma Scott, who
we trust, is still our friend. Many
y are the fond recollections of happy
hours spent in her company, but
: we suppose we have long since beer
! forgotten. Butcher, do you remem
t Der your fathers big Newfoundland
4 dog chasing me into the corn crib
and baying me until your father
q drove him off so I could go home!
t We do.
e We hope Tramp, John Barlecorr
: and other writer's will take up the
E subject of the bond issue and force
our great court to submit it to {
: vote of the peop'e.-Elbridge Pho
:. neer.
!. Gee whiz Does the Pioneer
;, think John of sufficient Importance
/, to tackle such a subject and force
: the County Court into action. Per
!; sonally we oppose the issue, prob
l. ably on account on our inability t.
:, comprehend the intention of the
+ law, but we are for it being left tx
a vote of the people; not, however
O until the subject has been sufici
o. emily discussed for the people tt
II draw their own conclusl ons, and VIZ
y hold ourselves subject to change
# of mind, on sufficient proof of it:
!. usefulness, or the buzzlng of al
;. official bee in our ears.
