Miss Hinemon,s Concert.

Miss Annette Hinemon, of Arka-
delphia, Ark, appeared in piano
recital at Reynolds Opera House in
this city last Thursday night and
confirmed beyond the shadow of
doubt that as musician and a
performer she is an artist, and
when we say this we are simply re-
peating a general expression COM
ing from the audience which heard
her that night. The crowd was
not large, but what it lacked in
number there was more than
enough intelligence and enthusiasm
to offset. There were several mu-
sicians present, among the num-
ber. Mr. Ownby, and all pronounced
the recital rare treat. Miss Hine-
mons first numbers were pleasing
enough, although of a much lighter
character, but when the last three
were reached, each of them gems
from a master hand. her ability as
an artist had been firmly estab-
lished. LISTS Hungarian Rhapso-
die, probably the greatest compost
tion of them all, if not that easily
the most popular, was handled by
the young lady with perfect ease
and control. The confidence dis
played in these performances was
apparent in the fact that the work
was not only perfect as far as an
ordinary critic is able to Judge, but
it sprang from thorough know1-
edge OF the composition and true
Interpretation of the author. Miss
Hinemon played with no music be-
fore her to read from. 1t was COM
pletely stored in her mind with
careful training. There is skill
and color and FIRE in her playing.
There is more than that-it is full
of beauty and strength--it is charm
ing. 1t was indeed treat to hear
her, and we trust her friends IN
Union City will be favored by an
other such performance at no long
deferred time.
Those who assisted Miss Hine-
mon Il The recital made very pleas
ant impressions. Mrs. Knox Har-
per has very pleasant voice. Miss
Kathleen Reynolds is always well
come to home audience Her
reading is simply fine. Miss Mary
Lawson's recital was a notable pro-
duction.

MAGNIFICENT PARADE THRILLING SHAM BATTLE, FIREWORKS

Coley and a number Of other peo-
pie who are we'll known in Ten
nessee, including the Hon. Hog
Law Holiday, of Dresden.
EARLY BOMB EXPLOSION.
A near relative to Gen. Peter
Tracy started the days work at
the somewhat early hour of 4 a.
N. by letting loose lot of bombs
that woke up the town.
At s o'clock Alphonse and Gas
ton without awaiting for each
other made their advent, to the
amusement of the people, and a
foot race followed.
In the meantime the bands got
busy and the streets became a
moving mass of color, while pref
tY women seemed to jump up out
of the ground.
Mule races and trick bicycle
riding grave way to Teddy and
his big stick, laughable farce
that created much amusement.
AT TO- 80 o'clock the Daughters
of the Confederacy, commanded
by Miss Mary Lawson, marched
to the leading square and gave an
exhibition drill. These young la
dies ELECTED frequent applause
from the large crowd that made
the street practically impossible.
GEN. HANNAH SPEAKS.
The address of the day was de-
livered by Gen. Hannah. He was
introduced by Senator Seid Wad
dell. Gen. Hannah accomplished
the rather difficult task of holding
a large audience in the street and
keeping it in perfect humor. The
feature in his address was an ap-
peal to the people to educate the
boys of the State in industrial
trades so that the great natural
resources of Tennessee might be
coined into wealth by Tennessee
hands. The speaker was frequent
ly applauded. His effort was
rather notable for the practical
lesson that he sought to set off
with the fireworks.
G. II. Weatherby, of Nashville,
followed with a comical Fourth of
July address.
Colonel Henry Head made q
capital Teddy with his 'big stick"
This was a fine caricature of Roose-
evelt. The uniform was complete
with mlstache, teeth, etc. Henry
wore also a strenuous look.
First street was then cleared by
Chief of Police Pardus and his
lids and three mule races took
place upon it, Hallett Hamilton
,eing the winner.
In the foot race Jas. Dickerson
vas the winner, the prize being
,ox of cigars.
Penick Richards led in both the
and sack races. He
Won baseball and bat.
In the bicycle races the entries

On the south side of the grounds
the Warren Mcdonald Camp, Con-
federate Veterans, and other old
Confederates were in a fort COM
manded by Adjt.-Gen. Harvey
Hannah, while nearly a quarter of
a mile away were the attacking
forces led by Capt. John w. Nor
ton. The fort was also protected
by "Our Bob"
The scene of the battle was one
of the greatest of the kind ever
witnessed. General Morton made

GALA DAY FOR EVERYONE

The number Of people which
thronged this city on the Fourth
was variously estimated from ff-
teen to twenty-five thousand and
many very enthusiastic gentlemen
placed the number at 10000. 1t
is pretty safe to say however, that
Union City entertained last Tues
day between fifteen and twenty
five thousand visitors. The most
favorable comment which could
be made, however, was that in
all this gathering there was not a
single serious accident nor a dis
orderly person. 1t is also a COM
mentary of the highest order to
say that there was a notable alb
sence of any of the disagreeable
features in the way of drinking or
profanity. 1t was a vast con-
course of intelligent men and wo-
men and happy children and a
glorious occasion. The visitors
were also highly pleased with the
days events. Favorable comment
was heard on every hand and if
there was any unfavorable criti-
cism we failed to hear it.
The exercises were handled in
on eminently satisfactory and sue
cessful manner by the men who
had charge of the celebration.
Included in this were j. G. Bur
dick, chairman, DIR. 4. M. McRee,
marshal, DR.. w. M. Turner, di-
rector general, Chas. Dietzel, sec
retary, and j. K. Murphy, adver-
tising manager. The gentlemen
made cur Fourth grand success.
They were capable of doing it and
the did their very best.
Pretty girls with white dresses
and men with white hair swarmed
the streets of Union City Tuesday
and made notable the celebration
Of the Fourth.
Every train that reached the
city brought its throng of pleas
nre seekers and merrymakers.
From Nashville there came two
companies of ex- Confederates led
by Capt. John w. Morton, For
rests old chief of artillery. All
If the way stations brought their
quotas to swell the crowd. Red,
white and blue bunting hung
from all points of vantage, and
,he day which had dawned with
promise of rain, became fair and
bright as a sort of special dispen-
'ation to the Union City folk on
heir gala day.

track.
The first prize, a cut glass bowl,
was given to r. II. McClanahan
and the Bransford Lumber Co.
and the second, a $40 umbrella, to
the Daughters of the Confederacy
A very unique design was the
street car made by Mr.. Wantland,
for the CobIe & Clagett Co. 1t
was perfect copy of an ordinary
street car, and the seats were fill
ed with little girls in white Ches-
ter Craig was motorman and Clay |
Thomas the conductor.
The Rives Milling Co. also had
a pretty display. This was two
wheeled vehicle drawn by four
horses. A flour barrel was ad-
iusted to an axle in the rear and
the movement of the carriage
caused the barrel to revolve. Miss
Grace Harris drove this float.
The trades display was all very
ine.
One of them designed for the
Daughters of the Confederacy was
pulled by large traction engine.
A horseback contest for ladies
succeeded the parade.
The two forces of Confederate
1atlllions met at the fair grounds

LACE LORE.

Lace proper only dates back to the
sixteenth century, and may be divided
into two classes, needlepoint. and
that which is produced by interweay-
ing threads with bobbins on a pillow
Needle point represents the transi-
ton phase between embroidery on fine
linen and the making OF lace as a
separate and valuable fabric, in which
both the ornament and the ground
work are produced by the worker.
TIE great impetus to lace ma king
IN France, and the Low Countries was
given BY Colbert. the famous minister
Of Louis Quartorze who realized that
the prosperity OF the country depend
ed very much on the small paying in
dustries that the lower and middle
classes can produce in their own
homes.
The Revolution checked the lace

empresses Josephine and Marie Louise
sought to revive It.
