Elks Social Session.

One Of the most delightful social
events of the past week, was given
Friday night by the Elks at their
club rooms, the occasion being the
regular monthly social session.
Many Elks, their wives, sweet
hearts and friends were in attend
ance. Prof. ]. ID. Combs was the
president for the evening and after
prayer by Rev r. w. Rhames. OF
Jackson, Hon. T. M. Pierce de-
livered the welcome address in a
manner that made all present feel
as we'll as see the hospitality Of the
Elk in his native lair. The Rev.
Rhames then delivered a very hap
py address characteristic Of the
spirit of the occasion. in which
many banquets are cast, some OF
which hung in the antlers Of the
Elk. BY far the most decided hit
of the evening was made by Hunter
Griffin, Esq, in an address that
opened and closed in a magnificent
burst Of eloqnence and incompar-
able oratory. Prof. w. Il. Miller.

nterspersed with music by the
Union City Symphony Orchestra
and several numbers were also
rendered in suberb style on the
violin by Herr Mangum. accom-.
panied on the piano by Miss Scates.
Henry Head, the sweet singer OF
Irsael, was called on for sohg,
but to the apparent pleasure Of all
present did not respond. Light
refreshments were then served
which were attacked fercely; the
assault was successful and the end
came.

ELECTED AGAIN
w. G. Paris and Board of Directors
Unanimously Reelected.

Unanimously Reelected.
The stockholders of the West
Tennessee Fair Association met at
the Mayors Office Wednesday after
noon and proceeded with the an
nual election of officers and the
transaction of other business.
After the reading of the financial
report by the secretary, Mr.. Woos-
ley, which showed a net increase of
% per cent, DR.. Mckee in a very
complimentary talk moved that
President Farris, the vice-presi-
dents and board of directors be
unanimously reelected for another
year. The motion carried with a
hearty Endorsement.
Considerable discussion arose
over the agricultural and stock ex-
hibits. Some parties claimed that
these were not given enough prom
inence at the fair. and that the
premiums we're not large enough.
Others stated that the West Ten
nessee Fair Association had offered
larger premiums than any other
fair with one or two exceptions in
three States. The matter was,
however, referred to the committee
on catalogue and premiums for adj
iustment.
The amount of 500 each was
voted to the President, H. p. Moss
and S. X. Bratton for individual
work and material furnished the
fair association. These amounts
were more than saved to the assoc
citation in the construction Of the
the race track by these gentlemen;
yet for personal reasons they
promptly returned the amounts to
the treasurer of the association,
declining to accept any remumera-
ton whatever for their services.
A vote of thanks was then rendered
to them.
The question of increasing the
capacity Of grandstand and other
improvements came up for con-
sideration and this led to the adj
visibility Of increasing the capital
stock. After some discussion q

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1904.

Manager Reynolds has been very
fortunate with the success of the
new opera house as far as the reg
ular patronage is concerned, but
in the way of raising fund by
subscriptions for the opening at
traction it was a failure. 1t seems
that our citizens were either care
less or did not understand the inn
portance of encouraging a venture
of that kind. 1t was never claimed
that the opening attraction was
worth two dollars seat and peo-
pie were not solicited to purchase
tickets with that understanding,
but they were asked to take adj
vantage of custom which has
prevailed In ell cities and towns
where new opera houses are built.
This custom comprises sale of
seats for the opening event of a
new house at nearly always two or
three times the usual price of
seats, and sometimes at FIVE or ten
times the usual price. This Is al
ways done to raise a fund with
which to seat, light, heat and equip
the house and stage. 1t is seldom
in the building of an opera house
that money enough is subscribed
or donated to do this and not often
is the fund large enough to COM
plete the brick and wood work
alone. AT jackson, Tenn, stock
to the amount Of $4,000 was sub
scribed for a new opera house.
When the naked building was
completed this fund was entirely
exhausted. Then it was that the
jackson people showed the enter
prise characteristic Of the town.
They agreed unanimously upon q
plan Of buying seats at Eve dollars
apiece, several times the value Of
the attraction to be presented, in
order TO create q fund ample to
scat, light, heat and finish the

The splendid showing made by
the West Tennessee Fair Associa-
ton was epitomized in a report by
Secretary Woosley at the stock
holders meeting last Wednesday.
This was followed by the unani-
nous Endorsement and reelection
of the officials. The administration
of President Farris was heartily
endorsed. The net earnings Of
twenty-five per cent from the first
meeting we're ordered to be placed
to the credit of the association to
be utilized hereafter to best adVan-
tage. Additional shares are au-
thorized to the value Of SIS. 900 to be
sold at par and it is desired as near
as possible to get these distributed
over the county. The tair was
decided success from the start, and
next year it is the purpose to have
larger and better meeting every
way. The agricultural exhibit will
have special attention and if possi-
bic 4 special exhibit building will
be erected for that purpose. The
grandstand will be increased about
three times its present capacity

house in a handsome and comfort
able manner. On this occasion
the house was completely filed
and as a result seats to the value of
$1,000 were sold. What did the
jackson people get out Of itg Not
simply little show, but with a
house a very few feet larger than
ours they have one of the handsom-
est and best equipped opera houses
of the size in the United States.
What did we get for our opening
seats9 Only about four hundred
dollars. What is the result9 We
haven't money to buy heating APP
paratus for the house. The pur-
pose of this article is to create an
interest in some plan Of buying
seats for the purpose of raising a
fund to buy a heating apparatus
for the opera house. Manager
Reynolds will tell you about itand
it is hoped that the people of Union
City will subscribe literally in
seats or in afund for that purpose.
Those who have any home pride
about them at all will certainly en-
courage q plan Of this kind.

The Commercial accepts the ver-
dict of the people in the election of
Representative. If they prefer
Mcdowell as an independent to
Fry as the Democratic nominee we
propose to acquiesce in good grace.
AS we stated before, if Mcdowell
had been the nominee we would
have supported him in the same
way we did Fry. What we shall
say now and we say it Of any man
who makes TIE statement that The
Commercial is or was a ring organ
that he is speaking about some
thing he does not understand. The
Commercial has never been dictated
to nor advised by any man as to its
policy in the camgaign just ended.
Not a cent of money have we re-
ceiyed tor the course we have taken.
This paper is not in any sense a
ring organ. 1t is not a Felix
Moore organ; it is not Doc Cald-
well organ, neither is it John Nc
Dowell organ. The Commercial is
run absolutely by John Baird and
Ed Marshall, and we think we are
able to take care of ourselves and
the policy of the paper. The OBJ
ject of this article is to meet the
assertion made that we do not deny
being ring organ. We do deny
it and brand it as false.

Judge Parker's position on the Phil
ippine question as the cause of his
defeat. Cleveland and the greatest
American statesmen stand and
have stood just where Judge Park
err does on that question, and if
that is what defeated the party we
are willing to go down with it.
The fact is no statesman in either
