for fortitude when put to the supreme
test; the little worries inspire none
of these, but in reality fret and harass
and wear away even the stoutest
spirit.
However, where is the woman who
would exchange her set Of little wor-
ries for one great trouble? Not one,
that is a certainty. For when death
comes near we clasp all our worries
close, close to our hearts and wave
away the dread intruder. Compensa-
ton is a very wonderful reality, q
strange law which enables even the
most miserable to endure, and afiicts
those who should be happy with i'm
aginary woe; and our cup Of suffering
may seem full, but it would yet hold
another bitter drop, and somehow we
would endure It; on the other hand,
be we highly favored by fortune and
friends, there is ever the crumpled
rose leaf to disturb our slumber. Thus
does nature, or fate, or whatever we
choose to name the seemingly blind
and overriding power, keep the bal
ances even, so that humanity may not
be tried beyond its strength nor be-

Bic Trouble, or Small Worries.

It is always very easy to philoso-
phize about other folks troubles. Very
easy, indeed, for us to utter words of
sympathy and to point out to them
that in the future lies some mysterious
balm to salve the hurt; and while, Of
course, the kindness which prompts
the word to be valued, the advice it.
self is absolutely useless to the strick-
en- one. For when a great grief lays
hold upon us we are like one be-
numbed; and friends and counselors-
yea, religion itself-are like the sound
of a far-off sea. which falls ON our un-
needing ear like the dreamy murmur
Of a seashell. So it is when a great
trouble comes to us; it possesses the
citadel of the mind and rules supreme;
and despair and tears and sobs are the
unavailing tributes we lay before the
memorable monster.
The days 60 by, and. stunned as we
are, we do not note them; but after
a while, even as our friends fore
told, we awake to find that somehow
the wound has healed over and does
not hurt quite so throbbingly. But the
little worries Of life, those circum-
stances in which no change occurs,
but which are always with us; the hu-
initiating poverty, the semi-invalidism,
the tasks and care or inadequate house
keeping facilities, the disappointment
in the physical, mental or moral equip
ment of our children-here are some
Of the aggravating little things which
are so hard to be borne And with
these come none of the numbness
which is so merciful; none Of the ex-
element of grief, which ofttimes
arouses the resentful spirit, so that
the sufferer often displays unlocked.

1t may do for Kentucky, but it is
not the thing for Minnesota. The first
thing you want to do is to get stout

around the house, moaning to get into

almost in daily session dispensing
Judgment upon the guilty. Some
Of his prisoners have been sent to
the penitentiary and others should
be. But the climax was reached
last Monday when the faithful of
ficer unearthed the crap game in
Joyce's. Mr.. Pardue and his as
sistants faced the jaws of death to
rid Union City of those terrible
stenches and to-day it is as clean
a town morally, perhaps, as there
is in the State. The task has been
no easy one. Life for the Mar
shall has been strenuous in his sur
roundings. He was compelled to
face strong barriers, and now that
be has succeeded we believe that
there should be some reward.
We do not propose TO say what IL
shall be, but he deserves more
than his debtors are able to pay.
The smallest compliment that
could be paid him would be an
increase in his salary as an officer.
To say that he should receive the
same pay of an inferior officer is
unjust. We know that this brings
up the question Of economy, but
we know also that there is such a
thing sometimes as false concep-
ton of economy. Mr.. Pardue's
services to the city have increased
the revenues more than sufficient
to offer him better compensation
and it should be offered. We do
not believe there is good citizen
in Union City who is not heartily
in favor of rewarding the officer
for the good work he has done.

From present publications it looks
like the prospects for a wheat crop in
Obion County are very poor Num-
bers of farmers are complaining of the
Hessian fly and it is said that the
wheat in many fields has sickly APP
pearance. We are informed by those
who know that much Of the wheat
which is attacked by the fly is a total
failure; that some of it yields, but the
crop is more or less short and the
grain faulty. A great many farmers
are making unfavorable reports and
there is considerable uneasiness re-
speeding the condition Of the crop at
present. "a poor wheat crop would be
a heavy loss to the people and draw
back to business. Usually, there is
very little known of the wheat crop
yield until threshing time, and we
hope that the scare will prove to be a
matter of no great consequence.

MARSHAL PARDUE.

A better police officer than
Frank Pardue would be hard to
find. He has very few equals
anywhere. When we speak of his
accomplishments we do not mean
simply his physical courage. That
is only one of his strong points
and it is not even greater than
others. He never loses minute
from duty-alwa alert, keen
sighted and right upon the heels
of the law breaker. He seems to
forget himself in his desire to pre-
serve the law and few can hope to
escape him. 1t is true that Fonzo
White, Tom Brown and Geo. Car
ter all risked their lives with Mr..
Pardue in the attempt to break up
Nose Joyce's gambling den and in
famous resort for negro women
last Monday. 1t is also true that
these men are good courageous
officers. They deserve the great
est respect Of every citizen for
this work and we would not rob
them of the smallest honor. But
especially at this time do we wish
to speak Of the services OF Mar
shall Pardue. Other men have
done their duty as they saw it, but
Every man to his calling.
Hence we make the assertion that
Union City has not had a better
officer since the days of the late
Bud Adams than Frank Pardue.
Frank Pardue began the minute

damnable pest to Union City for
