Her teaching, while in our midst,
was direct and efficient, the kind
that gives to those under her direc-
ton real enthusiasm, coupled with
the power to do their work as
teachers in more effective way.
She is most favorably known to the
Union City people and we shall al
ways be glad to welcome her back.
Among the visitors this week
were DR.. Ewing, of the Presbyte-
rian Church of our city, whom we
are always glad to see, and Prot.
Cheek, principal of Carr Institute
at Fulton. After opening exercises
Tuesday morning Prof. Cheek made
pleasant talk and spent some time
visiting recitation rooms.
A slight change was made in the
classes at the beginning of this
week. Up to this time Mr.. Moore's
work has been confined exclusively
to the secondary hall, but now, much
to his delight, he conducts one reci-
tation in the primary department.
Only the kindest reports are heard
from his work, and he has the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that not every
county superintendent has, to an
equal extent with himself, the con-
fidence and support of his teachers.

LARGEST ATTENDANCE
And Busiest Institute Held Here
Enrolment, 225.

The close OF this week marks the
expiration of the third week of the
State Institute in Union City, and
already we feel the coming of the
end. A spirit OF earnestness per-
vades the entire organization, and
it is probable that the present work
will be marked by the greatest gam
and advancement of any one of the
four weeks.
The number of horses and vehi-
cles slowed away in the shade in
the immediate vicinity of the public
school building attests the zeal of
the tie a hers from the country.
They make their little expeditions
back and forth with scorn of tri-
fling Inconvenience that is inspir-
ing to lazier people and makes one
surmise that their solid enthusiasm
will refuse to be wilted by any num-
Der of hot days.
One of the pleasures the members
have fallen heir to was visit on
last Friday from Editor James Brice
and DR.. W. M. Turner. During
the course of speech Mr.. Brice
pelted the teachers and conductors
with a shower of compliments of
the highest order. To the teachers
he extended words of encourage
ment and congratulation upon the
fact of their beng engaged in this
kind of work at a time when, ordi,
narily, one would expect them to be
resting. To him it betokened clearly
action prompted by the praise
worthy motive of desire to secure
better training and greater fitness
for their intended work.
DIR. Turner, one of the most pro-
pressive, public-spirlted citizens any
town ever had, could not resist the
impulse to make a friendly little
speech, too. His discourse emil
nently characteristic of the man
himself-was based on considera-
ton for other peoples comfort. He
won the hearts of all the teachers by
suggesting that electric fans be Sc
cured to increase the comfort of the
halls in which the institute is being
held. Whether the fans become a
fact or not. we cannot soon forget
the kindly, generous spirit that
prompted the suggestion.
Miss Buffers term of service as
instructor in the institute here
closed with last week and she re-
turned to her home in Trenton.

DENTISTS CONSOLIDATE.
Offices Combined With Branches at
Martin and Obion.

Negotiations we're made this
week whereby the offices and dem
tai interests of DR.. w. NJ. Turner,
DIR. r. S. Parks, and DR.. H. S.
Hughes have been consolidated,
forming a partnership of these
three distinguished gentlemen OF
the dental profession. We have
their authority to say that the main
office will be the Turner & Parks
Office in Union City and that
branches will be established at
Martin and Obion with elegant
equipment and furniture in each of
them. We are not yet prepared to
say who will have charge of the
branches. To us this is the regret
ablepart of the affair-and it is that
one or two of these popular dentists
and good citizens will necessarily
have to leave us either permanent
ly or temporarily. But as a COM
biuation it brings together the
strongest business and professional
talent. We trust that they may
realize the ambition of Col. Null
berry Sellers There's Millions In
It. However, there is no SEM
blance of a pipe dream in the pre- g.
ress these gentlemen are making.
Their road to millions is not so far
nor so great an effort as it seemed
even to the optimistic colonel.

]. R. Dovle Foully Deal With

The sad intelligence was received
here Thursday of last week of the
cruel and mysterious murder of Mr..
]. r. Doyle near Batesville, Miss.
Mr.. Doyle was making preparations
to visit home; had expressed part
of his wardrobe, saying, she would
soon be with mother" He was a
gentleman of the Southern type.
His mother was his idol and the
shock was indeed severe. That he
was murdered for money is clear,
tor he commanded a good salary
and had written his mother that he
would soon be home and in good
shape financially.
The murder is being investigat-
ed, Mr.. Doyle was true Catholic.
His tiny crucifix was all of value
that was left upon his person.

CRY WATER SUPPLY.
Contract Made for New Deep Well
This Summer.

At the regular Tuesday night
meeting of Board of Mayor and
Alderman this week, a final vote
was taken upon the proposition of
boring a deep we'll to supply the
city with more water, which carried
unanimously, and forthwith a con-
tract was made with Messrs. Fer
guson & Kanupp, of Cairo, to bore
a we'll ranging in depth from $50 to
400 feet, to point tapping salts
factory stream, the we'll to be 10
inches in diameter and to cost
about 5000.
Correspondence and negotiations
have been carried on for some time,
leading up to this improvement in
the city water plant with the result
as stated. This will be, doubtless,
one of the best steps the Board has
taken and one which will benefit
our city as much as anything that
could be done.
Work is to begin on the 18th OF
next month.

Tibetans Slaughtered In Hundreds

Tuna. Tibet, April 2.-The Tibetan
general, the whole Of his personal es-
cort and five high Lhassa officials
were among the hundreds killed in
the fighting at Guiru. .~,s
The small British losses are &C
counted for by the fact that the Tibe-
tans were so huddled together that
the majority were unable either to
use their swords or to fire. The
swordsmen in the front rank could
not reach the sikhs, who had fixed
bayonets. Men in the middle Of the
mob killed one another in the mad
excitement. - -. =
When the Lhassa general fired the
first shot, the Ttbetans, with wild
shouts, drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks and surged forward. About
a dozen swordsmen made g. desperate

NO one seems to have any other
objection to Judge Parker himself
than that he has had no experience
in statecraft-that he has no record.
But the danger that ii elected he
would be a. mere puppet in the hands
Of Mr.. Hill often Is urged as a reason
why he should not be nominated.
It would be much nearer the truth
to say that If elected president, Judge
Parker would naturally and properly
give Mr.. Hill a place of great tnflu-
ence in his encourage, but that in all
eventual things he would be his own
master. - rs...e.. + 49,.
Mr.. Hill has abandoned his old am
bition to be president He realizes
concerned. IF Judge Parker should
happen to go to the White House, Hill
will not seekto build up a national
machine for the purpose OF making
himself president in 1908.

A detailed list Of the Russian troops In
the far east has been semiofficially COM

am allowed to give the general figures.
The list was drawn up March % by tha

in Manchuria 10000 infantry, 1900 cav
airy and 256 cannon. OF this number 20,-
900 infantry, 5000 cavalry and 81 cannon
have been told off to guard the railway.

front extends 1900 kilometers. from Vlad-

the Lao river. the right bank being COM

It is estimated that the Japanese troops
landed do not exceed $4,000, and that
100,0 900 are waiting until the commissariat
is assured before being transported, as Il
is impossible to feed them in Korea
