through with them. So this stat,
of affairs renewed the hostilitie,
between them, and the Dagoes re
fused to vacate the cars at Pierce
Station they had been using while
at work, so on last Saturday the
railroad collected together all the
sheriffs, constables, marshals, po
licemen and all others that woulc
go, to take special train leaving
Fulton Saturday evening about Z
O'Clock for Pierce, to force them out
of their cars. The news had beer
cil culated about Fulton that the
Dagoes had been buying ammuni

to stand their ground, let Whatever
would pay the penalty, but the rail

Messrs. Rufe Chitwood and Will
Pace, of Union City, and R. H.

l have been pondering over John
Barleycorn's trials and tribulations
confined in a room in a Union City
boarding house. From Johns de-
scription of what transpired, both

''gourd savers, or snorers, as you
may please to term it, with one ex-
eption-Tm going into details
about the matter John never did
say whether or not after each snore
they would whistle or pucker their
mouth as if in the act of whistling,
l suppose most OF The Commercials
readers have heard more or less
snoring and have an idea of the at

them. Its an awful thing to be
confined in a room with anything
that snores, for | had as soon
lay down by circular saw wading
its way through large log and try
to sleep, as to put me in room
with snoring man. Now one OF
my closest neighbors is an Obion
county magistra te, but | don't

John, at least he has not related
anything of the kind, and besides !
think Squire Futrell is too nice a

Barleycorn.

own. 1t is reported that Hickman
is as mad as "old Tucker" about
the matter because the people of
Fulton have been granted this ac-
commodation detrimental, possibly,
to some extent, to Hickman.
notice an ad in The Commercial
calling attention to feed and hitch
stable with Mr.. Alex Forester as
proprietor. The readers of The
Commercial could find no better
place to hitch or feed their horse or
4 more conscientious or courteous
nan than Alex Forester.
Fulton was visited Sunday morn
ing at o'clock by most terrific
display of lightning, wind and hail,
after which we had almost water
spout. A few outbuildings and
barns blown down is about all the
iamage.
