DAVID R. FRANCIS.

The following comes from the
Commercial Appeal, concerning
the David Il Francis boom for the
Presidency:
David r. Francis, the erstwhile
farmers boy, ex-governor of Missouri
and ex-Secretary of the Interior under
Cleveland and at present president OF
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, is
just'now enjoying Presidential boom.
He has recently returned from trip
to Europe, where he had personal in
teryiews with the crowned heads and
reused much interest in favor of the
great show to be held in St. Louis.
He is considered available because,
while orthodox, he is conservative.
He is a product of the PEOPLE, and his
material success in life proves his
capacity for any demand that may be
made upon him.
Washington manufactured booms
are Of little value, because they are
manufactured. Statesman who are
sent 10 the capital Of the nation know
nothing. Many of them are holding
on by the skin of their teeth and they
are keeping their ears to the ground
to catch every sound and information
from vox populi. The booms, there
fore, come from the chaste inner con-
seriousness of the imaginative news
paper correspondents or from the
Observation-Disclosures of some one of
the Honorable Hasbeens who visits
Washington, and the scenes of his
former glory; or who has been left
there, as hundreds of these derelicts
are, and who know all about it and
about what is going to happen.
Nevertheless, the availability of
Gov Francis can not be disputed or
denied, and if Olney is not chosen the
Missourian will stand an excellent
chance of winning the prize.

THE LADDER OF LIFE.

| have been told true story of
an old man who lived in Middle
Tennessee. In his boyhood days
he preferred to hunt, play and
spend his spare moments in any
thing save reading and studying
useful books While he was young
and nimble this afforded him am
pie pleasure; as he became older
he felt this pleasure beginning to
decline. Finally he could no longer
shoulder the gun or land the fish;
with the decline of these physical
powers every ray that once afford
ed JOY to his young and lightsome
heart vanished. Now, after his
physical strength left him as a
shattered oak, he spent the win
tiers sitting by a scant fire, with a
pipe IN his mouth and the slobber
running down his chin. When
the summer sun poured out his
hardy rays, the old gentleman
would fake his chair out and sit
beside the door for hours at al
time, killing his only companions,
the flies, who loved him dearly for
the sake Of the greasy spots on his
clothes. This was the highest en-
Ioyment that he could then get
out Of life What sad picture

Last Saturday the opera house
block, owned by Mayor John /,
Walker, was conveyed by pur
chase to Mr.. j. A. Coble, of Cen
treville, who will begin at once the
work of reconstruction to get it
ready for the opening of a whole
sale grocery house, to be owned
and conducted by a company, OF
which he is the principal. The
capital stock is fixed at $35, OoO,
to be invested in a general line of
heavy groceries, canned goods, etc.
The company will be manned by
a gentleman whose splendid busl-
ness ability is well known here,
and that he will meet with success
is very generally agreed. Union
City is fortunate indeed to have
secured this enterprise, and the
Commercial Club has already one
feather in its cap. Now, to
your cotton crops, gentlemen
and neighbors, and citizens of
Union City to your agricultural
street fair and every other enter
prise for our common good. Nine
teen hundred and three was the
sbiboleth of the club for banner
year, and the start now made is
a witness to the earnest of the
gentlemen interested.
