Wednesdays FiAe.

Wednesday morning at about 3
O'Clock a house on Second street
owned by L. o. Park and occupied
by Noel Pursley was DESTROYED by
FIRE. The house was valued at
81, 100 and was insured Tor 500.
Mr.. Pursley carried insurance to
the extent of $500 on the household
goods. 1t is not known how the
fire originated, but it is supposed
to have been caused by a detective
flue. This was a new house, hav-
ing been rebuilt since the big fire
in that section last September,
The building was completely en-
veloped in flames when discovered
and before the fire department ar
rived flames had spread to an adj
joining building owned by Mr.. A.
Crittendon, of Rives, which was
badly damaged. Mr.. Crittendon's
building was unoccupied and was
insured for $500.

one of Union City's warm friends,
Mr.. c. H. Sheriff.:

Union City Business College, Union

me great pleasure to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your bulletin and congratulate
you on the splendid success you have
attained in so short a time. l must
admit that | am agreeably surprised
at your growth, and while l anticipat-
ed for you success, was not expecting
it to be phenomenal. Union City
should be proud of this school and
every citizen use their best efforts and
influence in its behalf. / perhaps will
never release my claim on her as my
home, and therefore join your best cit
izenship in wishing for you unbounded
success which you so richly deserve.
Very truly,

a policy for ST 900 in the Union
Central Life Insurance Co., of Gin
cinnati, which company is repre-
sented by Col. D. A. George, of this
city. Mr.. Boyd took insurance in
March, this year, gave his note for
the premium and had never paid
one cent, the note not being due at
the time of his death. The policy
was paid July 20, just FIVE days
after the proof papers were mailed
to the company.
Mr.. George tor the past six years

Union Central in this county and
this is the first loss his company
has had in this time. the best

"Of" or "Out."


Midsummer is the time to be
"off" for recreation and much
needed rest.
Certainly 1t is wise to rest when
weary. A little timely outing has
prolonged many a life and made
it sweeter.
But who ever thought to leave
off the essential things to life; such
as eating, sleeping, breathing, etc
Moreover it will not do to forget
God and his services even in the
hot summer time. When we make
our devotion to God a matter OF
convenience, or pleasure. we are
more concerned about our ease
than we are about the worship OF
God. The type of religion that
will not be instant in season and
out of season, will give us confu'
sion instead of comfort when we
come to die.
If in all sincerity we are doing
best, God knows it, and our re-
ward is sure. But if we are care
less and stocked with flimsy ex-
cuses is it not time that we had
honestly valued them! What are
they worth? They never help any
one meet engagements, do service,
pay bills, bear burdens or leave of
bad habits. Who ever heard OF
an excuse worshiping God OF
cheering the life of a fellow NOR
tai! They have never benefited
any life, but have wrecked thou
sands. They are very dangerous;
we had better get rid of them at
once.
1t is the most pleasant and
profitable to do our very best,
even under great difficulties.
Then if we look within, we hold
sincerity; if to our fellows, esteem;
if to God, approval and precious
promises.
Men and women that can be re-
lied upon to do their duty faith
fully, are the ones whom God can
bless and use.
In as much as the Sunday school.
prayer meeting'and preaching serv-
ices do greatly help man to live
happily and die triumphantly, it is
the privilege and duty of persons
to attend and take part in them.

CRUSHING DEFEAT.
st. Petersburg Deeply Alarmed For
Army of Gen. Kuropatkin.

New YorkIAug. 3. st. Peters.
burg is deeply alarmed for the army
Of Gen. Kuropatkin. Once more
the Russian forces are in retreat,
having been forced from Hal Cheng,
a town which practically commands
the road to Lao Yang, A signih-
cant silence has settled down since
the news of the evacuation of Hal
Cheng, one dispatch adding to the
mystery by saying the Emperor had
received message containing very
alarming information. Nothing
could be learned as to the nature of
the message.
On the other hand, the Japanese
have once more undoubtedly suf-
fered tremendous repulse at Port
Arthur, it being stated that 10000
fell in an unsuccessful attack on
Wolf Hill, one OF the strongest de-
lenses of the fortress.
The belief prevails that the blow
struck at Kuropatkin, which sue
ceeded, was timed to be delivered at
the same moment as that at Port
Arthur, which failed.
FALLING BACK ON HARDIN.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-Accord-
ing to message received from
Hardin, Gen. Kuropatkin has or
dered the removal from that place
of ali useless civilians in order to
provide the greatest possible ac-
commodation for the winter quar-
tiers of the Russian army.

BRYAN's TOKEN OF FEALTY
Conveyed to Judge Parker by Ed
ward G, Wall.

Esopus, Aug. 3..-Edward c. Wall
of Wisconsin and Mrs. Wall were
the guests of Judge Parker to-day.
They are en- route to Europe. Mr..
Wall brought cordial message di-
rect from William J. Bryan, assur-
ing Judge Parker that he is heartily
with the ticket, and will place him
self at the disposal of the Demo-
cratic National Committee to do
everything in his power to insure
party success this fall Mr.. Bryan
breakfasted with Mr. Wall at the
latter's home in Milwaukee July
%, and they spent several hours
together.
Mr.. Wall said to-day that Mr..
Bryan had been misunderstood in
the East, and that the feeling to-
ward him is unfortunate. Contin-
ming he said
"Mr. Bryan is Democrat and
never will be anything else. While
differing on some questions from
delegates at the st. Louis conven-
ton, he realizes that these ques-
tons were ruled upon aud has ac-
copied the decision. He is satisfied
with the platform adopted, and
thinks all circumstances considered
the platform is for the best inter-
ests of the party at large.
The admiration Mr.. Bryan has
for Judge Parker is not half.heart-
ed. He said to me that Judge
Parkers telegram to the convention
showed courage, and that man
who could so bravely confess his
convictions is suitable standard
bearer tor the party and one that
every Democrat can indorse and
support with credit to himself"
Mr.. Wall. was asked about the
report that Mr.. Bryan, while sup
porting the ticket, would not speak
directly in favor of Judge Parker's
election. He said emphatically:
That is not true, and / want you
to quote me as saying so.'

Educational Rally At Shady arove.


According to announcement a
large crowd assembled at Shady
Grove last Saturday to attend the
educational rally at that place. The
church was filled with an apprecia-
tive crowd and were much interest
ed in the program presented by the
speakers.
The meeting was opened by an
address from Mr.. o. L. Weaks,
followed by a response from Supt.
]. NJ. Moore. Then followed sever
al excellent Rotations from some
of the young people of the vicinity
and then a recess was taken for
dir ner. 1t is needless to say that
there was plenty of good things to
support the inner man, and the
large assembly was filed and there
was plenty lett for many more.
After dinner the house was called
to order and an able address was
delivered by Prof. ]. H. Hinemon,
State Superintendent of Arkansas.
Supt. Mynders, who was to have
been present, was unavoldably de-
tanned by illness and his place was
filled by Prof. Barrett, of Peabody
Normal College, who delivered an
address of high order to the people.
Mr.. Darrah of the Union City Pub
lie Schools made short but inter
esting address.
The entire meeting was a great
success and reflects great credit
upon Mr.. w. H. Harpole and others
who are so much interested in the
dissemination of interest in the
cause of public education. If such
gatherings are initiated over the
country, we may soon see great re-
suits follow in the improvement of
public school interest.
