friends should get together and
urge him to sacrifice a little time
in the General Assembly for the
good of his people. The Troy at

resentative. Such men as he in
the Office would incite a better
feeling for politics and inspire
Democrats with greater pride and
respect for the party and more
confidence in their officers and law
makers. It's all right for the
office to seek the man, but good

in the affairs of the party.

President w. @. Farris, OF the
West Tennessee Fair Association,
requests us to say through the
columns of The Commercial that
he is under everlasting obligations
to all those who assisted him In
the conduct of the fair last week.
He wishes to express his apprecia-
ton of the valuable assistance rem
dered by the superintendent of
the different departments for their
help. These departments have
been great advantage to the fair
The stock and cattle pens are sell
dom crowded to overlooking, but
the cooking, needle work and art
departments are always attractive
to the feminine sex, and next to
the speed events these are the
greatest adjuncts TO the fair. The
exhibits in these departments this
year were very complete and the
standards more than sustained.
There were some much finer speci-
mems than ever seen here before.
The ladies are to be thoroughly
congratulated.

While we do not know the
future policy of the West Tennes-

ing rotation is safe and proper,
we do not believe that the associa-
ton could improve upon its pres
ent condition by electing new
president. We do not believe
that they could find a better man
in Obion County than Milford
Farris for the place. In fact, in
view of his experience, it is hardly
probable that they could find a
man who would give as much sat
isfaction as he has done. In our
opinion he is by all means the
man for the place, and as long as
the directors can prevail upon him
to keep it we do not believe that
any change should be considered.

FEARFUL WRECK.

Ffanklinton, June 3O-A terrible
railroad wreck, with one man EaHtl-
lated and killed took place here
about fO:30 tonight on the SeaDoard
Air Line tracks
Conductor Hudson of Weldon, of
the Southbound freight was the only
victim 0f death. In the trlshtful

his body was buried beneath the
wreck8ge. The first evidence OF his
death was his yot. ihls being found
shortly after the disaster.

North from Raleigh and No. ) was
coming South. The Northbound
freight was III charge OF Conductor
Query and Engineer Murray, while
No. 3 Southtound freight, WAS in
charge OF Conductor Hud on and
Engineer Cornell.
The cause of the collision is said TO
be that the Northbound train failed
the siding at Youngsyiile. In place OF
this it CANE on t0FrankIintOn where
il was on the mann line when the
SouthbOund train dashed into 1T at
tuil speed. The Southoound engine
was badly smashed up and the North
bound Was also injured. One car OF
the Southbaund is smashed u2 and
two of the Ntorthbound.
The wreck is a bad one and ut this
hour, shortly before midnight, the
work of clearing up the wreck is be-
ing pushed. The coiiisi' n was fear
ful one and occurred right at this
lace. While others are more or less
hurt, none are seriously injured, the
only death being that of Conduct l
Hudson, whose body has not yet

Conductor Hudson was in the cat

when it was seen that a collision was
coming, the southbound rushing al
the northbound which was standii g
still. Engineer Cornell told the mer
with him to jump, and at once went
out of the cab window, the fireman
also jumping, neither being badly
hurt. Conductor Hudson must have
been confused and waited too long t.

Colored people who think they
have no showing in this country can
learn something by the caaeer of
Marinda Mitchell, one of their race,
whose remains were brought back
here for burial today. She was an
ordinary servant and received ordi-
nary wages, but she saved some
thing and invested it in real estate
and was worth several thousand
dollars. When she took service with
family she made herself indispen-
sable and she always had place al
an increased salary. She was never
known to quit one place to accept
another, a habit too prevalent with
her race. In fact, the average SER
want is heard to say she would not
live with one family longer than a
few months. This class is usually in
want, if not in life, then in death
and half the time the public has to
bury them.
