"A Noble Outcast," which has
been in the course of preparation
by the Union City Dramatic

count of the arctic weather last
week, but will be presented next
Monday night at Reynolds Opera
House by the same company. The

1t seemed to me yestereve,
AS the God Of Day went down,
That a hearts rich blood
Crimsoued the world
For a moment warm.
At the froied at dawn
Between the portals gray
| saw heart the same,
Pierced with an arrow cold,
Shot from a bow of gold.

W. M. Wilson, of Obion, filed a
bond with the Register Sanders at
the courthouse Wednesday, in
which he and other citizens Of Obion
agree to furnish court room free
tor the branch corrt at Obion. Our
attorneys here say that there can
be no contract with the county I'M
less the county acts officially as a
party to the same. This could not
be done until court meets and the
magistrates become a party to the
agreement. Thus Mr.. Wilson's
agreement is null and void as far as
the law is concerned, aud is not
binding and of no effect.

The women were driving along by
the side of a street car. and seemed TO
desire to keep up with it. Near Tween

the street. The space for passage be-
tween the wagon and the car was thus
limited. but the women attempted to
go through and their vehicle caught
the wagon. The horse dragged both
for a short distance and the buggy was
tipped over, the occupants being
thrown to the pavement.
