Moving to obion.

Mr.. H. Forcum and family will
move next week to Obion. Mr..
Forcum has been assigned by the
Paducah Cooperage and Lumber
Company to the management of the
heading and stave mills in opera
tion by this concern at that place.
The mill here will be idle for the
summer on account of a lack of
teams for hauling bolts. Business
will be resumed here in the fall,
but Mr.. Forcum, having been made
manager at Obion, will not return,
for the reason that the work at
Obion is of a much larger magni-
tude and demands the services of a
manager of Mr. Forcum's ability.
The gentleman stated to us that he
regretted leaving Union City more
than he could easily express in
words. He and his family had be-
come attached to our citizens.
They were pleased With our schools
and our institutions of every kind.
Not only these things, but we have
the finest water in the country and
he claimed that it was blessing to
live in Union City.
We wish to say that we had no
better citizens than these good peo-
pie and that any community which
they may adopt as home may be
thoroughly congratul tie d. Mr..
Forcum's business relations have
been of the pleasantest character
here. He understands his work
well and stands high with his en-
ployers. He is a gentleman in every
sense, and we wish him the best of
success at Obion.

No Sewers For Union City at the
Present Time.

In order to set the matter at RES
for the present and to answer
questions that are being asked me
and members of the City Council
daily as to when the election will
be held to determine whether sew
ers will be built or not, ] desire to
say, being advised by the City
Council, that no such election will
be held in the near future.
The question has been before
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
at intervals for years of building a
system of sewers in the city, but
as there was no way to pay for
such an improvement the matter
was allowed to pass until recently.
All outside obligations having been
paid, the financial condition of the
city being good, the Board offered
a plan to the people by which it
thought system of sewers might
be paid for within few years and
the tax rate be not materially in
creased and no bonds be issued.
1t having been made to appear
to the Board that a large number
of our citizens do not want sewers
built under any plan at this time,
| hereby announce to all those in
terested that it is the conclusion of
the City Council not to order an
election for the purpose named in
the near future. Consequently no
such an election will be held.
The Board was under the i'm
preston that more interest would
be taken in the matter than has
been shown, and it thought if sew
ers were to be built within the
next five or ten years now was the
proper time to begin the work.
Being no more interested than any
other citizens, and having no de-
sire to press the matter unless a
large majority of the people we're
unquestionably in favor of it, the
members of the City Council, with
my hearty concurrence, now de-
clare the incident closed.

F. E. Arm to Travel.

Mr.. +. K. Arm has just returned
from Nash lille, after taking a
course of training with the McCas
key Register people. Mr.. Arm will
hereafter be engaged as a repre-
sentative to sell this register. 1t is
a patented device for keeping indi'
vidual accounts and is claimed to
be labor and time. saving system
OF keeping books and making col.
lections and an improvement over
the old style of bookkeeping in
much the same contrast that the
cash register is over the old money
drawer. Mr.. Arm has been as
signed to territory and will begin
work at once. He believes that the
McCaskey system will in a few
years be as popular as the cash
register. White & Son, of this city,
have been using the McCaskey sys-
tenn in their grocery store for sew
eral months and they are highly
pleased over the results. The Nc
Caskey keeps register of personal
accounts, the balance after each
purchase and makes duplicate to
accompany each purchase showing
every article bought and the bal
ance due for the month. We trust
Mr.. Arm will make fortune out
of this business.
