mat Same old stale crY.

You can put down one thing as
dead certain, and that is, whenever
a fellow sees defeat staring him in
the face his last resort is to raise
the cry of clique" ring" and
all that kind of stuff. We are
forcibly reminded of this line of
proceeding when we glance over
the pages of the Obion Outlook Of
last week. The columnsare stuffed
full Of all sorts of rot concerning
the Law Court question, and when
boiled down there is not one single
sentence of argument as to why
the voters of Obion County should
vote fearful tax on themselves
to establish an additional court at
Obion, merely, as they claim, TO
accommodate a nice, active set Of
citizens who own land and town
lots down there. Who knows of
any ring" or 'cliquew Nobody.
This is said for the purpose of
pulling the wool over the eyes of
the people and hiding from public
gaze the real issue in this matter.
Why in the name of common sense
don't the people down there who
are urging on this scheme show at
least some little argument for their
contention and stop this silly baby
cry of ring, " cliquegn

please excuse the balance Of us
taxpayers from paying the fiddler
for you fellows to dance. Oh, no.
Why You Should Vote For the
Obion Court.


Because it will be a-good thing
| for the town of Obion.
Because it is cherished wish Of
the property owners of Obiou.
Because, with the exception of a
few people in the Southern part OF
the county, nearly every citizen can
occasionally have the pleasure of
being carried thirty or forty miles
as a gituess or juror.
Because if you are at court at
Obion and get into a scrap or other
trouble you can step over into the
county of Dyer and give the Obion
County officials the ha, ha.
Because the people of Obion
County have more money than they
know what to do with, and wish to
be taxed in order to get rid of some
OF 1T.
Because the cost of the court is
so small, about twenty-five hundred
or three thousand dollars a year,
aud the benefit to the people gen
orally so great.
Because it will make enemies of
people who are now the best of
friends.
Because if you should get into
legal trouble and need a lawyer,
and got one outside Of Obion, the
attorney would take pleasure IN
gong to Oblon and attending to
your case for nothing, being de-
lighted to pay his own expenses
and loss of time.
Because Obion is the best market
in the State, and you can get so
much more there for your chickens,
eggs. fruits and other farm pro-
ducts than you can at Union City,
should You be compelled to come
here TO court.
Because you can get to ride on
the street cars at Obion.
Because it is an excellent place to
fish, the river being near at hand.
Because you can find what you
wish in the stores of Oblon, while
the small stocks carried in Union
City would disappoint you.
Because you can sell anything at
Obion, while the Union City market
is always glutted, and the farmer
nine times out of ten has to carry
his stuff back home for the want of
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1905-02-17
a purchaser.

purchaser.
Because if you are patriotic you
will not object to being taxed for
the benefit Of Obion and its proper
ty owners.
Because handful of men wish
the court, while the great majority
of property owners do not.
Because if you had to go to court
at Obion by rail, you could spend a
dollar for nights accommodation
at Rives hotel.
Because you could attend the
theatre at Obion and have good
time generally, while at Union City
you could only sit around the stove
at the cQyEler grocery and swap
yarns with the other fellows.
Because if the court is established
you may after awhile have the
pleasure of paying your part of
twenty or twenty-five thousand dol.
lars for a courthouse and a Jail at
Obion.
Because the roads of Obion Coun-
ty are excellent, and you would be
pleased to have an excuse to take a
thirty or forty mile drive over them
Because it is your right and priv
llege to vote burdensome and un-
necessary tax on the people.
Because the people of Obion will
rise up and call you blessed, while
the citizens OF the other portions of
the county will give you the glad
hand and commend you for your
generous and liberal views and
your high appreciation of the pub
lies welfare.
Because because If these are
not sufficient reasons why you
should help the town of Obion, you
will have to vote against it.

Something About Union City.

The miserable attempt of a lot
of high takers to arouse a sectional
feeling against Union City in the
Law Court canvass will prove a
miserable failure, and the tooters
who are doing it will be ashamed
of themselves when the election is
over and their scheme is buried
deep beneath the ballots of the I'M
terrified voters of Obion County,
who are determined that heavy
tax shall not be saddled on this
grand old county, which will weigh
them down financially for all time,
just to oblige a few good citizens
Of Obion who want to sell their
real estate and boom their town.
The tax question is a dangerous
one always was-always will be
and any people will be very eau
tious before they vote one ON them
selves. The history of such move
ments is that once voted and fas-
tened on a people it requires gen.
erations to throw off the incubus.
Therefore we repeat it, that the
attempt to- hide the real issue in
this question by silly, childish
slurs at Union City will fool no
intelligent voter. Not one. The
determined opposition to this
scheme for higher taxes is not a
move made by Union City, nor is
1t made by any one district, and
these tooters know it as well as
they know they are promoters. 1t
IS united uprising by the mass Of
people who foot the taxes of Obion
County from District No. Is in
the northeast to District No. 8 in
the southwest. You cannot tax
one man or one district without
placing the same burden on every
man in this county; hence it is,
that one district is as much inter-
ested in taxation as another. LII
the good people of the village of
Obion were centrally located; if
they wanted and needed a court,
or two courts, or even more, in
order to boom their lands and
town, and would pay the cost Of

Many farmers In the Northern and
Eastern States are selling their high
priced lands and locating In the
Southwestern Missouri Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas. Many who have
been unable to own their homes in the
older country are buying land at the
prices prevailing In the new country
S5, $40, SIS, per acre and up. These
lands are mostly cut-over timber lands,
some Of them possessing a deep rich
soil producing corn, wheat, oats clover,
cotton fruits and and vegetables.
Well improved farms are scattered
throughout this country. Many places
with small clearings and some inn
proyements can be bought very cheap.

and even if they had done so, would
not consider it in any way binding
