City Schools.

AS the opening of our public
schools draws nearer, we are be-
coming more and more impressed
with the fact that although preced.
ing years have been fatterIngly
prosperous. yet the present one will
be a stride nearer the ideal. Our lat
est success in the Vanderbilt ex.
aminations, when every pupil pass
ed, paralleled by no other school in
Western Tennessee, gives us an inn
petus in seeking larger worlds to
conquer. The scholarship and
members Of our faculty. together
with the beauty and equipment of
our school could lead us to boast
ing If we would. Gentility OF cul-
ture and nobility of character can
not fail to make their impress upon
the receptive minds of the young
men and maidens associated with
the public's custodian of our
school
The warranted enthusiasm of our
foreign clientage is bearing fruit
in the increased numbers from the
outlying districts who have indica-
ted their intention to be with us.
We know the enthusiasm of num-
bers both upon pupils and teachers,
and feel assured that this one thing
alone will give US added advantage.
The arrangement and assignment
of classes warrant us in the asser-
ton that each pupil will each have
personal attention as his needs
warrant. From time to time as
the year progresses, we hope to ar
range such accessories of educa.
tion for the benefit of the pupils as
will make school life no less hab-
1t of study, but enriched with a
season OF grace and diversion.
Come over and help US.

TO The People Of Union City and
Obion County.

Having been chosen Principal OF
the Union City Training School at
a recent date deem it proper to
employ this means of communicate
ing to you few words relative to
the work the coming session.
This school was inaugurated at
considerable expense by some of
the leading citizens of this comniu-
nifty. IT'S purpose was two-fold:
first, as public enterprise--most
all towns of this size maintaining
such an institution; secondly, as a
place of instruction and prepara-
tion of the youth for entrance into
the colleges and universities. Ger
tainly such an enterprise must ap.
peal to philosophical communi-
ty.
la the coming session ] shall
have associated with me teachers
Of splendid moral character and
mental attainments. We shall en-
deayor to give personal attention
to every pupil entrusted to our care
and instruction, and feeling that
education is moral as we'll as mem
tai we shall strive to throw about
your boys and girls the same moral
restraints and influences, as far as
possible, as if they we're constantly
under your care in the home.
The coming session opens next
Monday at a. m. If you believe
tins school is an enterprise that
should be maintained in Union
City we so''sit your sympathy and
patronage AT least investigate
the CLAIM our school and then
decide i it's being worthy Of
your suppo.A
We invite patrons and friends to
visit the school any time and OBJ
serve its work. We ask your earn
est consideration, promising you
that we will work with untiring en-
ergy TO meet the solemn as rests
upon us as teachers.
Respectfully,

To Bolivar.

Officer w. W. Mayo, of Samburg
was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Mayo had just returned from Boil
var. He had charge of Sam Jordan,
taking him to the Asylum for the
Insane at Bolivar Wednesday.
Jordan came up to the camps at
Shaw's park this week and asked a
lady at one of the tents for the loan
of an axe. He was very courteous
to the lady and she let him have
the axe. Jordan then went to an
other tent, where child was seat
ed, and raising the axe, remarked
that he could kill the child and no.
body would hurt him. A twelve
year-old brother of the little girl
rem out with shotgun and drew il
on Jordan. This caused Jordan to
leave the girl and start towards
the boy. The boy ran with Jordan
after him and was overtaken by a
man who took the gun from the boy
and stopped the crazy man. Jor-
dan was then arrested and after
wards adjudged insane and sent to
Bolivar. ii

Foust had been duly subpoenaed
but did not come. An attachment
was issued for him with the above
result. When questioned by the
court as to why he did not come,
Foust said he was not able, and
his appearance bore out the truth

for the defense, failed to material

was sent to the sheriff of Missis-

been issued for Charles Hubbard,
but as he was in Illinois the sub
poena could not be served. His
deposition will be taken before
the time of the next trial.-Centre-
