city has been organized with 18
members, for the purpose of estab-
fishing areading room, gymnasium,

cussed, but it was finally consid-
cred inadvisable for the reason
that it would interfere with serv-
ices at the different churches in the
city and hence detriment instead
of benefit to all concerned. In
view of this the young men took
the alternative OF forming them
selves together for mutual instrue-
tion and for relaxation in the shape
of gymnastics and other wholesome
exercise. 1t is the intention later,
as soon as the proper quarters can
be secured, to organize a basket
ball game, put in bath rooms and
swimming pool. An election of Of

ABE WALKER IN JAIL.
Brought Back to Union City as a
Violator of the Adams Law.

Brought Back to Union City as a
Violator of the Adams Law.
Abe Walker, who some time since
entered suit in the Federal Court
against J. c. Burdick, w. L. White,
w. G. Reynolds, Sam Ozley and Ed
Kirkland, this city, for SIS, 600 dam
ages, was arrested in Jackson Mon
day by Deputy Sheriff Enloe Chiles
and brought back to Union City
where he now languishes in jail in
default of bond for various and sum
dry offenses, the principal ones be-
ing in violation of the Adams law.
The readers remember the raid of a
negro dive by the officers and the
wounding Of two of these officers
which took place here on the first
Monday in May last The people
became enraged and raided Walk
ers notorious dive. Walker was
told that he could not engage in the
same business again and he soon
left town. In a short time the citi-
zens of this city were surprised to
hear that Walker, through his at
torney, D. W. Dehaven, had entered
suit for damages in the sum of $685.
600. The suit was entered at Mem
phis. The defendants were all
summoned to appear at Jackson
this week and they were all there
except Sam Ozley. The name of
that gentleman doesn't seem to be
in our directory.
Last Sunday night Abe came
back to town. The officers have
been watching for him for some
time, but it seems Abe was able to
get in and out again without being
caught. He boarded an early train
for Jackson before the officers dis
covered he had been here, Mr.
Chiles took the next train for Jack
son and found him The proper
papers we're served and Walker was
brought back without further cere-
mony
This ruse was probably as great
susprise to Walker as the suit
was to the citizens of this city.
The Court will, of course, allow
Walkers suit to proceed, but the
negro, being an ex-convict, accord
ing to the laws of the State cannot
testify in the suit, and hence his
cause will hardly have any weight
in the Judgment of the Court.

Business College Leased.

The Union City Business College
was last week leased to Profs. Jas.
T. Austin and Walter Morris. Mr..
Austin was the late principal and
Mr.. Morris the instructor in teleg-
raphy. These gentlemen have
formed a partnership for the pur-
pose OF infusing new life in this in
stitution and building up one Of the
very best business schools in the
country. They start out this week
with two new students, Miss Kenna
Compton and Miss Birdie Caruth-
ers. These young ladies are recent
graduates of the city schools
and are connected with the best
families of this community. They
recognize in the present faculty
and management opportunities for
securing. a business education not
often enjoyed in cities of this size.
Mr.. Austin is a graduate of the cell
ebrated business school at Bowling
Green, Ky, and Mr.. Morris tele-
graph instructor who has sent more
young men to good positions than
any other teacher in this section.
Two young men from the Union
City Business College we're given
positions last week. One was Mr..
Luten who went to Kenton to fill a
place in the N. & o. station at that
place as train dispatcher, the other
was Mr.. Cole, who is now at Fulton
working in the &c. telegraph office.
A great many young men and young
women have been sent to good po-
sitions from the Union City Busi-
ness College, but none ever enjoyed
better advantages for a business
education than those who are just
completing their course and those
who are now entering the school
will have.
