S7ILLA CHANCE
For stalehood-No Agreement

Conference Committee
COMPROMISE IS POSSIBLE
senate Debated the Question at
Length at Yesterday Session

Washington, Feb. 20. Contrary
10 expectations, there was no ap-
continent Of a conference commit.
Tee by the senate today, to confer
on the statehood differences. The
case with which further lime was
allowed for consideration OF the
matter forcibly suggested the power
that lies in the hands OF senators TO
continue discussion indefinitely, or
nntil too late to refer the bill at
this session. However, this very
situation may result in bringing
about compromise, which as
many assert, IS the only method Of
smoothing out existing complica
tons. Ifit shall be seen, which
il is already, that compromise is
the only manner in which a state
hood bill Of any Kind can be passed
al this session, there may be 4

there were many conferences this
afternoon in order 10 arrive stsome
taci understanding, il possible,
whereby the bill may be passed in
some form. TheIresult is thought

IMPROVED FARMS.

Mr.. S. G. Mofatt, of Rural
Free Delivery Number One, in
forms us that all along his route,
almost everywhere, can be seen
new American wire fences and
other signs of progressiveness.
The old rail fences and hedges
are being rapidly cleared away
and in their places these neat, new
fences are to be found. Many of
the farmers are also busy clearing
up new ground and otherwise inn
proving their places. A visit to
Troy last Saturday gave US an
idea of the improvements which
are being made. Really t h e
smooth surface of the grain fields,
neat new homes and fences give
the country a much more inviting
appearance than our towns can
show, and taking into considera-
ton the telephone and rural free
delivery advantages it occurs to
us that the tables have been turn
ed. The ebay seed" is a charac-
ter of by gone days and the song,
"W hen Reuben Comes to Town"
can find no counterpart in real
life at the present time. In fact
it is the man on the farm who can
now look wise and grin at the
cheap shop-clothes dudes in town.
1t is changing SO that the farmer
is the man of wealth, the universe.

who is looked up to with envy by

thing like the same law preceding
it. Under this system Mr.. White
accomplished a considerable amount
OF work. and we believe to-day that
if the bottom roads were thrown up
in the center in the shape of half
oval, in other words bedded very
high in the center with sufficient
ditching on each side a great deal
of the trouble would be obviated
The roads have been treated this
way to some extent but not near
enough. The work should be more
thorough. This without anything
further will make better roads pos
sible. We understand from Judge
Lawson that great deal OF road
work is now being done. Every lick
put in now will be worth many
times the same amount of work
next fall So, 1t is fortunate for
the county and Judge Lawson is to
be congratulated upon the present

of way. They realize the value of
such a project in the way of af
fording an outlet for the products
of their soil and the consequent
enhancement in value of lands.
We all know that the late Mai.
j. G. Harris, who was a man of
strong native ability and of splen-
did practical views, devoted much
thought and attention to a similar
scheme, and he was convinced that
such a railway would prove a pay
ing concern, and had he lived we
have no doubt but that the con
struction of this line would before
this time have assumed a tangible
form. However, we have it from
"a reliable source that whenever
Union City and Obion County
conclude to do anything in this re
spect that Judge Harris, who is
the son of Maj. Harris, and to
whom has largely been communi-
Gated the splendid qualities of his
father, will, with other men of
means of Lake County, heartily
cooperate and subscribe literally
to the capital stock of the road.
1t is useless to say that lines of
this character are becoming very
popular. In the North and East,
and even in our own State, they
are being built in competition with
steam railways and are proving
formidable competitors on account
of the cheapness of construction
and operation.
Let us all get together on this
proposition and build this railway.
1t can be easily accomplished and
we are sure that substantial aid
may be expected from our good
friends and neighbors at Obion
who are so much concerned on ac-
count of the oppression of the
people Of the lower end of the
county. PROGRESS.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1905-03-31

One of the greatest and most
deserving enterprises in Union
City is the flower and plant con
servatory owned by Mrs. M. Iris
Brown, known to the trade as the
Union City Floral Company. The
business has been under the super
vision of Mrs. Brown since its es-
tablishment about three years ago,
and whether or not it has been a
very profitable financial invest
ment, the success of the institution
as an industry has very few paral-
lels in this country. 1t is thought
that Mrs. Brown has not been alto
gether fortunate heretofore in the
selection of horticulturists to sup
erintend the work and hence the
conduct of the plant has not been
as smooth as il might have been.
1t is, however, very gratifying to
notice that the gentlemen, Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Cary, who now
have the work in hand, are max
ing the plant look a hundred per
cent improved from its former APP
pearance. The plant looks better
every way, and the whole place
looks like it had been transformed
into a thing of beauty and Joy
forever. The houses look bright
er, the beds cleaner, and the flow
ers prettier than we have ever
seen them. Indeed it is certainly
beautiful place at the present
time. 1t is a popular point for
drives and an interesting sight to
visitors. Every citizen in Union
City should feel enough interest in
its beautiful conservatory to help
perpetuate the enterprise. 1t is
not only meritorious in many
ways, but an ornament to the city.
A branch of landscape gardening
may develop from this most excel
lent concern, and it may be the
source of Transforming our homes
from an embryonic state to the
shades and lawns of a highly inn
proved little city. There is com
paratively little of this in Union
City and it is needed very badly.

A SOLUTION OF THE QUESTION.

Recently Obion County has been
greatly stirred by the proposed es-
tablishment of Law Court at
Obion, the idea being that the peo-
pie are put to too great inconven-
fence in coming to Union City to
attend court. The people of the
county were not and are not will
ing to bear the expenses of this
special court, and the question is
still an open one and will continu-
ally rise up to disturb the equa-
nimity Of the citizenry CT the
county, unless some method is de-
vised and adopted giving those
districts better facilities to reach
and communicate with the county
site.
The construction of an electric
railway from Paducah Junction to
Tiptonville will effectually and
forever quiet this agitation and at
the same time give the people of
Obion County greater conveniences
in reaching their county site than
are enjoyed by largely a major
number of the counties of the
State. Construct this line tapping
the |. G. road at that point to run
from Paducah junction 10 Union
City, thence to Troy, thence to
Hornbeak, thence to Eibridge and
from there any practical and FEAST
BILE route into Lake County and
thence to the county seat of that
county, and you have an enterprise
that will prove splendid invest
ment for shareholders and a solu-
ton of the question with which we
are now vexed.
The writer recently in converse
ton with one of the wealthiest and
most influential citizens of the
lower portion of the county learned
from him that there is now some
discussion and agitation of the
question by the citizens of that
section, and that many will will
ingly take stock in the enterprise
and that practically no resistance
will be offered in procuring a right
