PLEASANT HILL ITEMS.

! Rul : uHu lA hS' AASAA CoAhSt w.
j pleasant callers at the Barleycori
! residence Sunday.
Miss Ina Long, of Union City
I visited homefolks near Pleasan
Hill Saturday and Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. w Il Ragsdale ant
family, Of Hauser Valley visited
and dined with the family of w. p
Morris Sunday.
Miss Eunice Shore, one of the is
to-be graduates of the Rfves Graded
School, visited friends around Pleas
SAINT Hill Sunday.
Owing to the strike on the M. &
O. railroad, w. p. Morris had tc
send team to Dyer last Wednes-
day for strawberry boxes.
Southside had disturbance Fri.
day evening, like mighty rushing
together of many cyclones. Inves-
tigat1on proved that "Gipsy" was
only shooting the flies off her new
bedstead.
Several years experience in a
business capacity with Miss Carrie
Catron, cashier and bookkeeper for
w. G. Reynolds, convinces me that
/
l am right in declaring women the
| light and life of the business world.
She is not only one of the best look
ing but one of the most thorough
business young ladies of Union
City.
Thatgood humored, good looking,
whole-soul fellow, Mr.. F1ois Carter,
of Number Seven, paid us his an
nual visit on the 18th inst. He
never fails to come when strawber-
ries are ripe and he called for half
a dozen boxes of the finest to be
had for special purpose. We
wonder which one Number Sevens
beauties received those berries.
Come again, Flois.
We want to extend our thanks to
Mrs. w. S. Long and Mrs. Drury,
two of Pleasant Hills worthy moth
ers in Israel, for a basket of nice
vegetable from each Of them. We
know we have the best neighbors
anywhere to be found in this broad
land, and we love them and appre-
ciate their many acts Of kindness
the best we know how, but we
know we are too mean to be a good
neighbor.
1t is with sadness we chronicle
the recent death of N. c. Parrish,
of Jonesboro, Ark. He was about
IS years old, a native OF Virginia,
and was at one time one of Ten
nessee's honored citizens and a
member of the Legislature from
Humphreys county which elected
ohnson to the United States
Senate from Tennessee. He has
many friends and relatives IN and
around Union City who will regret
to learn he is no more. Hey was the
last member of family of six chill
dren and is an uncle of Prof. Bluch-
er Parrish, of near Crystal.
Hail, happy day, wh>n The Com
family of ink singers
shall meet in convention at Sam
burg, June 6. Woe be unto ye scribes
and Pharisee hypocrites, for ye are
as graves which appear not, and
the Lord said unto Moses: "Set ye
aside a day for feasting," and it
came to pass in those days, that a
certain hill billy, whose sir name
was Barleycorn and of the tribe of
was sorely pressed for
necessities of life and to dig he
,ould not, and to beg he was
and he said unto The
Commercial: feed your tribes and
behold the results.
Through The Commercial, we
want to extend our special thanks
o the Misses Flora Clark, Mamie
Manning, Ethel Johnson, Frona |
Lena Clark, Laura
lancaster, Sallie Claiborne and t
Sallie Askins, of the telephone Of
ice at Union City, for the most sat- |
sfactorY telephone service we ever
lad. We know some of the trials 5
md vexations of the life of tele-
phone operator and are in full sym ]
oathy with them, but it only pre- {
,ares you young ladies to make the
,est and most patient wives III the :
world, should you ever be so unfor-
innate as to get married.
