Mr.. Thomas Cloar, who resides a
few miles west of this city on the
D. ]. Caldwell farm, has one of the
very best corn crops we have heard
of. He has a solid field of go acres
in corn and has refused a cash offer
of 81, 800 for the corn from this
field, delivered any time this fall.
The offer was made by Mr.. Cald-
we'll, and as Mr.. Cloar thinks corn
will be considerably higher before
another spring, decided to hold his
crop.

Col. Chas. N. Gibbs is in receipt
this week of information concerning
the accidental killing of his grandson,
Edwin Smith, at Chattanooga, on
Saturday, August 20. The young
man had gone down to the tracks on
the old East Tennessee road, and was
standing in deep cut on one of the
tracks watching freight engine COM
ing UP on the opposite track. A pas
senger train rounding the curve be-
hind him failed to attract his atten-
tion. The engineer whistled, but
evidently without effect, the noise
probably being drowned in a confu-
sion of sounds. The young man never
turned his head. The pilot struck
him and threw him from the track.
The skull was fractured and the i'm
mediate cause of death is supposed to
have resulted from conclusion of the
brain. He was son of Mrs. Lila
Smith, daughter of Col. Gibbs, re-
markably bright lad, and his death
was a severe blow to his parents and
relatives.

Walked the Golden Streets.

Uncle Jerry Cloar came in last
Monday and reported the closing
of very remarkable religious
revival at the Lake bottom near
Blue Pond last Sunday night.
Mr.. Cloar conducted the services
and his first discourse was the
"Holy Ghost on the day of Pen
tecost." Meetings were held all
the week, day and night. In the
congregation Tuesday there were
only twenty-three persons, and of
that number eight were penitents
and seven professions. In all
there were about twenty or
twenty-five professions, ranging
in ages from IA to go. 1t is stated
that one young man went into a
trance Thursday night, remaining
in that state or condition about
three hours, and that when he re-
turned to himself again, said that
he had been to Heaven and saw
his mother, brothers and sisters,
walked the golden streets, and
talked to them. A new church
was organized with 10 members
and the prospect of several others.
The denomination is the M. e.
South.

FAIR COMMITTEES.

The meeting of the committees
appointed to represent the various
districts in the interest of the
Farmers and Merchants Fair held
a very encouraging meeting at the
courthouse last Monday afternoon.
A large number of the committee
men were present and considerable
enthusiasm was manifested. W.
G. Farris called the meeting to
order, stating the objects. DR..
McRee spoke of the liberality of
the business men of Union City
and the community of interests
which should exist between the
planter and the business man; the
advantages of a mutual and cor
dial relationship, especially during
the fair season. The fair was an
enterprise which should have the
good will and generous support of
all the citizens. Mr.. H. G. David
son spoke along the same line. He
thought the fair would be benef-
cial to the merchants of Union
City, but that all sections of the
county would have the privilege
of deriving some Of the benefits of
the institution and that it should
be generously supported. Editor
Brice was present and guaranteed
his hearty cooperation. There was
some discussion as to whether or
not live stock would be kept on
exhibition during the entire three
days of the fair. This was decided

which is now being overhauied to
be used as a corn mill. This mill
was purchased some time ago by
the Dahnke- Walker Co., who are
live, hustling men of vigorous brain
and business. They know how to
succeed and how to keep at it. One
of the secrets cf their success lies
in the fact that they employ millers
and assistants who understand their
business. Mr.. A. ]. Monroetus has
charge OF the big mill at the M. &

mill has undergone many new and
improved changes in machinery and

No Kick on Firemen.

Webster Farmer-Rpeorter: We
notice that some of the papers of the
state are kicking because the legis-
lature made an appropriation Of ST.
900 for the annual tiremen's tourna-
ment. We think the kick against
this appropriation comes with very
poor grace from anyone. The fire
companies Of this state with but
n exception are volunteer. The
members receive nothing but their
labor for their pains. 1t is but right
and proper that the state should
make an appropriation Fer their
tournament. It will afford an oppor-
tunity for some compensation in
pleasure for the services of all fire
departments at an annual tourna-
ment and furthermore the practice
for the tournament trials will add
to the efficiency Of the tiremen. A
newspaper Or an individual who
makes complaint against an appro-
priation for so just a should
be cut off from the fire protection
afforded by these volunteer depart
ments, which do so much to save
property and lessen insurance rates.

THE EPISCOPAL RECTOR
Receives High Endorsement From
His Former Place of Resi-
dencc in Ashtabula. o.

The Ashtabula, o., Beacon Record
CT April IL, has the following with
reference to Rev. Charles H. Powell,
who left that city this week to accept
the position Of rector Of St. Mary's
Episcopal church in this city:
The announcement has been made
that the Rev. Charles H. Powell, Phi.
D., rector Of st. Peters P. E.
church, on account of health consid-
erations, had accepted a parish in
Mitchell, S. d. His final sermon,
giving a history Of ST. Peters parish,
will be preached on Sunday evening,
and he will bid farewell to Ashtabula
friends on Monday or Tuesday.
1T is with sincere regret that our
citizens think OF DR.. Powell's re-
moval. 1t means a positive loss both
to his flock and to the community
in general. He has been a wise lead
err, an exceptionally able and attrac-
tive preacher land a diligent pastor
extended beyond the membership of
the parish. He has been a man
among men in the community, and
| by a kind and tactful courtesy toward
all classes he has won the confidence
and esteem Of the people. We be-
speak for him success wherever he
may discharge the duties Of his high
calling.
Rev. and Mrs. Powell arrived in
the city Friday, and on Sunday
the new rector will begin his duties
with the Episcopal church. The
church has been without a rector
since early last fall and the mem
beers will heartily welc ONE the
reopening Of the house of wor-
ship. Mr.. Powell comes highly re-
commended as a rector and a strong
worker among his people.
