The Interurban Railway.

The efforts OF citizens Of this
county to get road from Paducah
Junction to Tiptonville are meeting
with all the success anticipated.
Or. Turner, the secretary. has
placed the matter before prominent
capitalists in the East and has Sc
cured some very encouraging replies
and inquiries. The railway con-
tracing FIRM Of J. J. Read & Co, Of
Paducah, are extending some valu-
able assistance in the matter of in
terestlng proper authorities. DR..
Turner received last Tuesday let
ter which he considers very encour-
aging from Mr. Read. which we
herewith reproduce in full;
Paducah, Ky, April "A, 1905.
DR.. w M. Turner, Union City,
Tenn.-Dear Sir: AS / advised you
last week, I heard from the New York
people to-day. In that letter they say
their lawyer will begin to prepare pa
pers to-day relating to the proposed
road. These papers should reach me
the last OF this week, and as soon as |
receive them will come to your city at
once. They seem to think very well
Of the proposition from my meager de-
scription, and / now feel confident
that we can realize on our efforts, If
we all do our best Hoping to be with
you by not later than next Monday, |
am Yours truly,

MONEY TALKS.

Talk of the electric suburban
railway has created considerable
stir among our citizens. 1t has
excited the croaker to make pes
simistic remarks and when that
takes place you can depend upon
it that everybody is thinking about
it. We stand by the assertion
that the offer Of 800, 600 and free
right of.way will bring the road,
and the citizens who make the pro-
position are amply able to make it
good. Ii is not very we'll known,
but men are now investing their
money in city property and real
estate on the strength of future
prospects. We cannot vouch for
the cause, but it is either rail
road or something else of an en-
terprising character. A prominent
citizen of Number Five, when
asked if any opposition to the
right Of way would develop, re-
piled that the man who nursed
such a thought would be afraid to
repeat it in the face of sentiment
favoring the road. Thus YOU can
easily imagine what sort Of a
status the project has taken. We
believe as firmly in the practical
bility of the building of this SUI
burban railroad as we do of any
other business proposition of an
industrial character. As said be-
fore, Obion County is as certain
to have electric railroads some day
as the existence of progress among
American people. But our people
are waking up to the advantages of
an advance movement in this d.
rection. ltmeans volumes of ben
eft to Union City, it means wealth
to the county. It means a solution
of travel and traffic among the cit
liens of the county where the pub
lie road question is a knotty prop
osition and the railroads do not
offer easy access to the heart Of
our commerce. The shipping of
fish from Reelfoot Lake, the trans
fer of produce, the travel to and
from the county seat, the passen-
ger traffic Of the trading public are
important items to be taken into
consideration, but the most at
tractive proposition is the pros
pect Of development. No one,
even the keenest- sighted man we
have, has any adequate conception
Of the industry it will stimulate.
1t means many new features to the
best agricultural county in the
State. 1t means the development
of untold industries fine stock
farms, beautiful homes, prosper
GUS people. 1t means to Union
City just as she is on the eve of a
second growth an expansion that
would be absolutely impregnable
and unparalleled within the State.

few weeks ago. The actor was rs
years of age and was known as
| the dean of American drama.
jefferson was born in Philadelphia
and came from ancestors of his
tronic reputation. His grand
father landed in America in 1895
and made himself a notable name.
Jeferson's first appearance on the
stage was when he was a child of
three years, playing in ''Pizarro. ;"
AT eight his father ''took to the
road" and strolled through the
South and West playing in barns
and tavern dining rooms. At
twenty be returned to New York
and married. La 1851 his first
wife died and sick in body be took
to wandering, going to Australia
In 1865 he went to London to see
the famous playwright, Dion
Boucicault, to secure his services
in a dramatization of Washing
ton Twins "Trip Van Wrinkle"
It was successful in a measure, but
not complete until Mr.. jefferson
touched up the lines with vein of
pathos. Before it was more after
the style Of a farce comedy. Now
with Mr.. Jefferson's revision it,
had become a strong comedy
drama with humor and heart inter
est intermingled. From that time
on Grip Van Wlnkle" became a
classic and Jefferson an author ac-
tor of international fame. In adj
dition to rip his repertoire in
cluded Bob Acres in 1.-THE Ri
walls" DR.. Pangloss in the Heir at
Law" Caleb Plumber in "Crickot
on the Hearth" and Mr.. Golight-
ly in LEND me Five Shillings.
He was an artist in all his work.
In 1896 he headed an all star cast
in "The Rivals including the
names Of VIM. I'll. Crane, Robert
Taber, Joseph Holland, Nat 9.
Goodwin, E. M. Holland, Francis
Wilson, Mrs. John Drew, Julia
Marlowe and Fanny Rice. This
will stand probably as the most
artistic dramatic triumph since
the days when Jefferson played
the grave digger in an all.star cast
of Hamlet, including Edwin Booth,
Mojeska and other famous players.
The name of Joe Jefferson is in
dissolubly'linked with the character
of Rip Van Wrinkle, The two
we're inseparable and whoever I'M
dertakes the part hereafter cannot |
avoid being measured in the JEFF
ferson standard. Joe jefferson
was not only dean of the drama in |
America, but the best known ac-
tor probably in the civilized
world. His name will take a con-
spicuous place In the annals of
dramatic history, overshadowed
probably by no other. Mayhap
it will appear greater than all. He
was not a tragedian, but a great
player in the broad sense of the
ternL 1t would not be exagger-
alton to say that he had more
friends than any other American
citizen. His characters were all
clean, and the memory he leaves
will probably more than anything
else help to dispel the cloud Of
prejudice against the stage.

 A site was already selected ln Seward, and Uncle Sam had prac- tically decided to purchase two ad- joining lots in the town. John E.
