The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1903-09-25

Truthseeker and a whole lot OF
other unmerciful critics and laugh
until you get hungry and get your
self out of this unfortunate state
of mind.
Hay farming and stock raising
have given immense returns to the
farmers this year, and berrl- s.
fruits and sweet potatoes as well,
have given returns. Simply too
large to be correctly estimated by
the producer and still retain
reputation for veracity. On every
hand the goose that lays the golden
egg is visible, and every man has
all his heart desires, except the fel-
low who raises sand and wheat.
We want to offer in way OF sug-
gestion to the political parties of
Obion county, that you open the
campaign in November or Deem
Der and have the primaries in
March, this being the most idle
time OF year with the farmer, as it
is after gathering and before
planting the next crop. We con-
slider it very unfortunate that peo-
pie are bothered most IN the very
busiest season of the year. Who
will second this motion?
Without any authority we want
to offer choice between a crate OF
strawberries and the bachelor edi-
tor of The Commercial to the lady
writing the best essay on "Good
Housekeeping" by the 18th OF
May, 1904, Mr.. and Mrs. Baird to
call in such help as needed and
/. make the decision. Now, the rea-
son we make a combined offer is O)
10 let the married ladies into the
contest, (2) most any young lady
Of good taste would choose the ber-
ries in preference to the bachelor
(3) the market price of crate OF
common berries and that of ordi'
nary bachelor is about the same
This proposition to become null
and void on sufficient proof by any
other young lady that she has al
, ready a mortgage on the SAID
J bachelor.
Cousin Rusti, don't pout. Did
: you not know that big head was ar
: indication of big marin, friendly
torgiving heart. We miss your in
teresting communication and youi
cut-throat criticisms, so come back
like the pretty girl you have always
been, and the first time any col
lege-bred gentleman or lady mon
KEYS with us, we will go for then
and wipe 'em off the face of thu
earth.
!, Cousin Gypsy, don't grieve an.
! more, you certainly have the sym
pathy of all the cousins and thu
public at large. Lay aside all sor
: row and come fill your place il
The Commercial, for we miss you
: yery much. Fact is, we can't d.
without you.
Truthseeker, you have had m

for sage, but you have unexpect

= please answer this. Are you pei

. and what is the color of your eyes

v you.
