fever in Minneapolis for three or four
months and has been in a precariOus
condition since comm" to her fathers ;.
passed through her confinement on the
seventh inst. and hopes are entertained
of her final recovery.
Will Barton seems to suffer the most
on account of the numerous rises in the
river. Owing to the early freshets he
was badly belated in getting in his crop
and now the water is again over his
farm. He will suffer fully half or three
fourths of a loss in his crops this season.
Will feels a little diSconSolate. but
manages to keep stiff upper lip and
wont give up as long as he can get
around with a boat.
The late rains have given the farmers
additional work in the fields to bring
the crops back to tourishing condition
again. There will be more or less loss
owing to low places where the water
has stood SO long killing out the crops
in those places. though no one will SUI
fer much loss on the whole, as there
has been an excess Of potatoes planted
which if nothing happens will probably
make up the loss in other cases.

Hello, Aunt Dinah," we thought

One of the most interesting indi-

Purity, pluck, perseverance and

young ladies are popular with rich

The Fence Question.

The Commercial: l did not in
tend writing any more on the fence
question, but as several inquiries
have been made about 1t, 1 will
write few lines again.
In the first place it is not right
for us as church members and
christians to want our neighbors to
sell the last hog they have to make
their meat, for most any man can
keep a few hogs and let them
run outside and eat acorus and
grass and feed them slop which
would perhaps be thrown awaw.
Yes, many a poor family could
raise hogs to make meat who would
be too poor to buy it. Choppers
would have no place to raise hogs
under the no fence law, for the
landlord could not, and would not
be bothered with the cropper's hogs

The Legislature of Tennessee
has appropriated the sum OF
$40, 900 for an exhibit at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition at St.
Louis in 1904. The bill carries
with it the provisions that no
buildings shall be erected and that
mot over twenty per cent of the
amount shall be paid out in sal
aries. This is not what the friends
of a suitable exhibit would have,
out, nevertheless, splendid in
vestment for Tennessee. Depart
ments can be secured on the
grounds and with judicious man
agement a fine exhibit can be
made, which will prove an i'm
mense advantage to the state.

The extension of the Adams law
to include the town of Columbia
and others was defeated in the
Senate by a vote of 20 to 10. So,
our Legislature got down to ''play
politics. We feared this would
would be the fate of the original
Adams bill before it became law,
and were told afterwards by men
who knew that the whiskey men had
assurance it would have been de-
feated if the Legislature had de-
layed action upon the bill one day
more. The temperance people
have much upon which to congrat-
ulate themselves. The defeat of
the Columbia bill is to be regret
ted, but those who were informed
say that there was never any
chance of its passage.

eating with his in the field or pas
ture. The man who rents land and
goes from one farm to another
would hardly ever have places OF
pastures prepared to keep hogs up.
The small land owner is not always
able. to buy cross fences, clover
seed, etc, to prepare places to keep
hogs. Or in other words, the no
fence law would be bad on the
small land owner, worse on the
renter, and still worse on the crop
per.
Now, some people argue that it
takes more to fence land than the
outside stock is worth. Perhaps
this is true, but If we had no-fence
law, every man would have to keep
his stock up and would be COMPEL
ed to build better outside fences to
be sure to keep his stock in; then
he would have to build more cross
fences to pasture them. So we
can not see why the expense of
fencing would not be more instead
of less, and besides, it would cause
more law suits and hard feelings by
some peoples stock getting in
others fields.
If we had no fences, suppose
that stock man wanted to drive a
lot of cattle or hogs to market or
he could not keep his
stock in the road or out of the
fields.

ID at my ideas. With kind wishes

EVEN the friends of the saloon
now admit that business in Union
City is holding its own. They
say that the closing has not made
any change upon the condition of
trade, while the principal mer
chants report that the volume of
sales this spring have exceeded
any year in their business. Of
course this is not due to any con.
'dition brought about by saloon
interests. Union City is busl.
mess town, saloon or no saloon.
but no one will deny the fact that
the closing of saloons creates a
strong influence upon the morals
of the community. We have fine
country this everybody knows,
and with our present coterie OF
splendid merchants, Union City
will always be fine trade center.
1t continues to grow year by year.

A BUSINESS man from Findlay
Ohio, in Union City week or TIVE
ago made the remark in our pres
ence that Union City was a regu
lar Yankee town. OF course hi
was speaking of the character anc
appearance of our city and it,
business men and enterprises
But, he said, there was one thing
we needed badly, and that was
means of rapid transit and trans
portation to different local points
otherwise inter. urban railways,
and he was speaking disinterested-
ly. He lived in country which
was covered with network OF
trolley lines and every one of them
was a paying institution. We ask
ed him if he knew anything about
the wealth of our country and the
quality of our lands. He replied
in the affirmative, and that he
knew an investment properly made
in this county would pay divl-
dend in a very short time. lie
said that he intended to present
the matter to some Findlay capt.
talists interested in electric rail
ways as fine prospect for invest
ment. We asked him if the cost
of power station would not handl-
cap an enterprise of this kind to
such an extent as to exhaust the
opportunities for profit making.
He said that all these problems
had been solved very satisfactorily
some years ago. The gentleman
lives in a country where they have
these advantages. He is accus-
toned to them and knows what he
is talking about. His suggestions
were unsolicited and he spoke con-
fdently and understandingly. AS
we said before, this is an enter
prise which will take only few
years to develop, and the sooner
we reach it the better. Electric
railways are not only a luxury but
an absolute necessity, and they
are Just as certain to permeate
this country as the years are to
come, and it will be only very
few years at that. The great
trouble is that we are going to
sleep on our rights until our
counties have these lines
and the ambitious towns begin to
draw our trade. There is not
better opportunity for an electric
railway, nor one as good, in West
Tennessee outside of Shelby coun-
ty as there is in Obion.
