thousand dollars stolen. The sill
yer amounted to 5000, but the cash

Fope Herring returned last week

thinks he has secured one to his
liking in finely tlmbered section

The meeting at the Baptist church
was closed last Sunday night on ac-
count of the illness of Mrs. Sledge
in Helena, Ark, wife of the MINIS
ter who was preaching here. His
sermons were strong, earnest and
full of practical logic, in fact high
ly interesting and fraught with
splendid results. 1t was unfortu-
nate that he was compelled to leave,
but the congregation and churches
of Union City hope to have him
back again at an early date.
Dahnke Bros. have vacated the
corner Tucker stand and have closed
their Dyersburg store. John Dahnke
has managed the business for sew
eral years and now returns to Union
City, his former home. John
Dahnke's removal is decided loss
to our town. In fraternal circles,
he is decidedly enthusiastic, ener-
getic and useful. The Dahnke
store has been so long popular
resort it's loss will be felt by society.
May John Dahnke's shadow con-
time to grow ldrger.-Dyersburg

Mrs. Alice Hollomon who lives on
Quality Hill, this city, has a COW
from which she MIXED IS gallons
of milk last week and made 10
pounds of butter from same. In one
year this COW would give 1,720 gal
lon of milk, which, if sold at cents
per gallon would bring $50. In the
same length OF time she would pro-
duce $50 pounds of butter which if
sold at the low price of Is cents
per pound would bring $78. Add
the two together and you have the
neat sum of $164 from one COW.
Who can beat 1t?-Kenton Argus.
Dahnke Bros. have closed their
cafe at Dyersburg, but are still in
business here and at Fulton. These
gentlemen have been extraordinary
ly successful. However, they are
now giving some attention to mill
ing and manufacturing, and hence
not so much time to their cafes.
The Dahnkes rank among the first
business men of Union City. They
are all genial, good citizens and en-
terprising gentlemen, and we are
fortunate to have them with us. If
we only had many more like them
there would not be so much for the
Commercial Club to do.
