aJeems and the Jedge. =

Jim Burress, colored, for several
moons has held the leather medal
for being the shrewdest bootlegger
and beer vender in these parts. It
now develops that the aforesaid
Jim is something OF hypnotist
also, and has been getting in his
work in great shape on the circuit
court. He has been arrested and
convicted in the city court from
time to time, and in each case
Mayor Walker gave him the $50
limit, and each time Jim would give
bond and appeal the case TO
the circuit court. Monday the court
gave him hearing on two State
cases, dismissed one and admins
tered fine Of $25 in the other. The
jail sentence was not mentioned.
Tuesday he was defendant in two
cases appealed from the city court
in which be had been fined $50 each.
The Judge thought the fines were
excessive and reduced the fine in
the first case to $40 and in the sec
ond to SIS. 1t is suggested that the
citizens .'chip in" and give old Jim
a brand new hat in the next case.
Jim seem to have the court under
hypnotic pressure.

Boys there is no man who thinks
more of good nice boy than ] do,
and you are welcome to visit our
fair grounds at any time, and we
are glad tor you to come and have
nice time; we will make it as
pleasant for you as we possibly can
that is as long as you behave
yourselves. You can play ball, play
base, ride on track, or amuse your
selves IN any way that is in the
bounds of decency. Don't do any
thing that you would be ashamed
for mother or father to know.
Now to parents, you know we
have dozen or two we'll, you
might call them ''bronco busters"
or "rounders" or whatever you
please, who seem to think the fair
grounds built for them to do their
meanness in. For instance, we
dug a well. These ''rounders, the
first thing they did was to tie rope
around each other and let them
down in we'll and go in bathing,
throw bricks in the we'll, get on top
of the buildings, tear up the roof
and damage all they can, smoke
cigarettes and throw them down in
shavings, and would have burned
our amphitheatre if our workmen
had not been there. That is not
all. They go there to shoot craps
and play cards. One Of our con-
tractors saw the money up and
made them stop and leave the build
ing. Now a word to the parents,

Report of two Obion county gen.
tlemen to the Nashville American:
Paul Ingram, Cashier Bank of
Troy: The people of this section
Of Obion county are in better con-
dition than they have been for a
number of years before. All classes
are prospecting. The farmer who
owns and runs farm of 400 to 500
acres has received good returns on
his investment, and the laboring
man will find all the employment
he wants at higher wages than
have been paid for long time.
There is heavy demand for work.
men at good prices along all lines
on the farm. in the woods and at
saw mills. The merchants report
good business and eminently satis-
factory collections. ! think the
same condition of affairs exists
throughout the entire county.
When the present wheat crop is all
sold and returns received i believe
the deposits in the banks of Obion
county will be greater than ever
before.
.. N. Walker, Cashier CONNER
cial Bank Of Union City: The peo-
pie in this section are in better
financial condition than ever before
in my opinion. They are nearer
out of debt than ever before. There
is more money on deposit than
probably ever before. The wheat
crop here was good both in yield
and in quality and the price was
better at the harvesting season
than for years. The prospects for
corn crop were never better, with
good price already assured. The
point to good times
here for some time to come, regard
less Of what political party may or
may not win in the coming cleo
tions. This section of the State is
year by year. 'rhe
lands, under an intelligent system
Of drainage and rotation Of crops,
are being improved, and are in
rreasing in value.

The most disastrous FIRE in the

GEN. caldwell at work.

Circuit court entered upon the
second week of the September term
Monday. The State docket was
taken up and Attorney General
D. ]. Caldwell, who has been sick
for the past four months, was at
his post, and tried more cases than
has ever been disposed of in one
day in the history of the county.
1t was a record breaker. There
were twenty-four cases tried, and
twenty-five of the defendants con-
victed. The fines collected during
the day amounted to $5l2.50 and
the State and county costs and the
attorney generals fees, all of which
goes to the State, amounted to
$3.50, making total of $842, SO to
the States credit for the days
work. Clerk McCorkle informs us
that for one days work this was by
far the best record since he has
held the Office of clerk.

ELBRIDGE.

The Obion county teachers met
at CloVerdale last Saturday and
held a very interesting session.
Prof. Darrah was in the chair with
that prince Of educators, County
Superintendent James M. Moore,
by his side. Prof. Darrah, Supt.
Moore and others who are regular
attendants at these meetings stated
that there were more teachers in
attendance at this session than on
any former occasion. A large ma
iority of the teachers of the county
being present, we failed to obtain
the names of all teachers present
and only mention those we can call
to memory. Prof. Watson and as
sistants, of Obion; Prof. DeBow
and corps of assistants, OF Kenton;
Prof. Hays, of Troy; Prof. Bond, of
Minnick; Prof. Flowers, of Zion;
Miss Cola Worley, of Forest Hill,
and a host of others. Prof. Will
Calhoun, OF Lake county, and Prof.
Lafayette Fanville, principal of
the Nebovllle school in Gibson
county, we're visitors and were
heartily welcomed by the teachers
of our county. Prof. Calhoun made
an able address on the subject of
how to manage a bad boy. Prof.
Fanville delivered an address the
subject of which was why we
Should Obtain an Education, which
proved to every one present that
the young man was an orator of no
ordinary ability. This young man
will make his mark high-mark the
prediction. There we're dozens of
highly commendable speeches on
the various subjects which we would
be pleased to speak of, but space
forbids. The present school law
the civil and school districts
coextensive was discussed, some
favoring and others opposing, but
we believe the census of opinion
was that the law should be at least
modified and amended. Altogether
the day was an enjoyable one and
the educational interests Of our
county took one more step forward.
The following young people Wis
tied the home of U-Know last Sab
bath and partOok of the scanty re-
past spread on our festal board at
the noon hour: Misses Vera Tinkle,
Emma Bradshaw, Lula and Kitty
Johnson, Odessa and Myrtle Boone,
Clara Turner, May Luken and
Messrs. Fanville, Sheppard and |
Nan and John Ramsey. Mr.. and
Mrs. HI. G. Ramsey and Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Davidson were also
present, and together with eight
Misses. U-Know made quite re-
spectacle gathering of young peo-
pie. Prof. Fanville, who is princi-
pal of the Neboville school in Glib
son county was compelled to leave
or the railroad at an early hour Of
he evening, but the rest of the
engaged in singing and
passed a pleasant afternoon. Come
lgain, young people, you are well
.ome.
