The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-01-08

lie viands and served them in up
tod tie style They we're cooked
and seasoned exactly to our tast,
and reminded me of home, but til,
contrast between the two places
impressed me most painfully.
Myself, wife and two little Johns
accompanied by Miss Ina Long, o
Union City, drove down to TROY
one day during Christmas and spen
the day with Mrs. Jessie Whitesidt
and mother who treated us royalty
BY quest, l wish to report thai
Mr.. liar Glover closed his school al
Greenwood, near Woodland Mills
Dec. Is, 1908. His graduating class
of fv- scholars was Miss Annie
Harris, James Marshall, Parnel
Garrigan, Willie Preuett and Will
Garrigan. The school closed with
some interesting essays and recita-
tons and a debate on the subject,
'Resolved, that the Indian has been
treated worse by the white man
than has the negro" A large crowd
was present. Mr. Glover expressed
his disapproval of my ideas ex-
pressed in the News Banner, advo-
eating professional teachers only.
He is, from all appearances, an in
dustrious young man who deserves
the endorsement of the public for
the effort he is making to educate
himself. He is now in Louisville
attending a medical school and we
have confidence in his success.
The Pleasant Hill school has
closed, and Miss Sallie Thomas has
gained the love and respect of both
parents and students; has taught
us an excellent school and we be-
lieve it is the wish and desire of all
that she return.
One hot day last summer Mrs.
Barleycorn SAID, John, gear up
the hack and hitch il to the horse,
drive up to Union City, get some
groceries, fresh meat, some ice,
and o, | don't know what all, for
had sold calf and have lots of mon
ey. So | went to Union City and
hitched my horse over near the ice
factory. A fellow whose name was
Dahnke showed us a lot of new-fan-
gled things and we wondered at
the ingenuity of that fellow. of
course God is greater than he. tor
He made him, but Dahnke can beat
God making ice in the summer,
when the thermometer registers
100 in the shade Now God can
make more of it, but we have never
heard of him making 1t except when
the temperature is right for it.
But Dahnke makes it when it isn't
and when the physical conditions
are against it, while God, in our
memory, has never made ice under
those conditions-anyway, we got |
a sack full and carried it to our
hack. A negro had united our
horse and was holding it. He said
''25 cents for holding your horse, as
it is five dollar fine to hitch to
that tree, so l loosed him and am
holding him so you will not have
he fine to pay, and | can't give HIM
up until you pay me-" We said we
would not pay it and he threatened
20 call policeman. | said, ''call
lim and be dad blamed, if you don't
rive up my horse l will knock you
nto the middle of Reelfoot lake,
where the alligator gars will eat
,ou up in a second" Seeing his
imminent danger, he needed our
equest. Now IS cents is no money
o fellow who has just sold calf,
'ut we don't propose to be robbed.
We then drove up town and when
through trading, Walter Reynolds
rave me a package of something
nd said, take it home and try it.
did not ask what il was and
bought no more about it, but when
drs. Barleycorn caught glimpse
f it, she said, what is it, it is la
'eled Rub No More. !" So / said,
guess it is for the itch, for l had
