Very III.

Mr.. W. r. Moore, principal of the
Union City Training School, re-
ceived message from Tucson,
Ariz., Saturday that his son, JEFF
ferson, who has been his assistant
in the school, was dangerously ill
from the effects of hemorrhages of
the lungs. The young gentleman
has not enjoyed good health for
several years. His mother and sis
ter were also not very well and they
all went to Arizona to spend the
winter. News from them few
weeks ago was of very favorable
nature.
Mr.. Moore waited until the re-
ceipt of a second message notifying
him that his son was in a critical
condition and he left Monday even
ing after temporarily suspending
exercises in school.
1t is earnestly hoped that the sick
man will recover and that Mr.
Moore will be able to return to his
school in a short time.

Lovers of the great national game

ness the sport in Union City this
summer if present plans material
ize. A movement is on foot among
some OF the most enthusiastic low
ers of the game to organize stock
company in Union City to back a
club, which will be one of league
of eight to be organized in sur
rounding towns. A scheme is be-
ing developed to organize circuit
composed of Jackson, Coylngton,
Dyersburg. Ripley, Trenton, Union
City, Martin, Hickman and May.
field, Ky. 1t is believed all of the
above towns will support a good
ball team, and stock company will
likely be formed in each one for the
purpose. Hickman and Dyersburg
have a stock company and it is
thought that Union City aud the
other towns will at once follow in
their footsteps. Those interested
realize the fact that eight clubs
wouad be better, but if they can't
get eight, say six will do. No
trouble will be found in getting a
place for diamond at Union City,
as there are a number OF suitable
places. among them being the fair
grounds. A meeting will be held
one night next week for the pur-
pose of organizing stock company
and all who wish to take part are
invited to attend.
