hank Meeting.

The directors of the Union City
Bank g. Trust Company met last
week and declared dividend of
per cent. for six months ending
June 80, 1906. The earnings we're
one per cent month. That is GER
tainly very fine record for an in.
stitution as young as the Union
City Bank g. Trust Company. It
is more so, when taken into consid-
Grafton the fact that its competitors
are two of the strongest and best
banks in the State. Union City's
banking interests are in excellent
hands. We are up on banks and
Fourth of July celebrations, if some
other things are lacking.

if the money was in either of the

Clemency for E. A. Pate.

Gov. Cox on Monday granted a
pardon 10 E. A. Pate, of Obion
County, sentenced to term OF four
months in the county Jail for as
sault and battery. The defendant
was originally given a sentence of
ten years in the penitentiary by the
Jury, but the verdict was set aside
by the trial Judge and Jail SEN
tence OF four months substituted.
The proof in the case was very
meagre, the only witnesses to the
affair oeing the defendant and the
prosecutor, and there was great
conflict in the testimony. For these
reasons and because Of the strong
recommendation for clemency from
the citizens and officials of Obion
County, the Governor granted the
pardon.

SERIOUSLY BURNED
While Playing With Gasoline and
Matches.

AS the result OF a frolic with gas
oline and matches. two young boys
narrowly escaped being incinerated
this morning. Bertis Nelson was
badly burned about the arms and
chest and is in a serious condition.
Rodman Willingham was burned
about the arms and his hair singed.
Arch Terrence, who is to blame for
the accident, escaped injury.
1t is said young Terrence per-
suaded the little Willingham boy
to get some gasoline out of bot
tlein his fathers, Will Willingham's,
restaurant, on Main street. The
three boys poured the gasoline into
an old burner and dropped a light
ed match into it. In the explosion
that followed both the Nelson and
Willingham boys clothing caught
FIRE. Chester Murrell happened to
be near by and catching the Will
bingham boy he rolled him over in a
pile of sand until the flames we're
extinguished. BY this time the
Nelson boys clothing was a mass
of flames. Murrell seized him and
tore the burning clothing off but not
until the boy was seriously burned
were the flames extinguished. But
for Mr.. Murrell's timely assistance
and heroic work both boys would
have been burned to death. This
should be a lesson to the boys in

TEA MADE INTO TABLETS.
New Form Saves Space and May Be Used

Washington, D. c. (SpcciaD-The lat
est novel experiment TO be made by the
Department of Agriculture is that Of
compressing tea into tablets, one OF
which will make delicious cup of tea.
AS a result, what would ordinarily make
big package of tea can by this method
be placed in a space about the size of a
safety-match box. The tea is grown at
the departments experimental tea gar
denS at Summerville, S. c.
Each little box of compressed tea con-
tains 20 tablets about the size of a
penny. but about twice as thick They
are dark green.
1t has been the object of the depart
ment for some time to find means of pro-
viding food for the army and navy
which could be prepared in such way
as to save space, but so far all attempts
have proved unsatisfactory.

P. o. SALARIES ARE TOO SMALL.
First Assistant Postmaster Generals Auuus.
Report.

Washington, D. c., (Specia) In his
annual report, just made public, First
Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock
says that the low salaries paid clerks in
first and second class postoffices is de-
creaslng the standard of efficiency 1t is
impossible, he says, to induce efficient
men to enter this branch of the service
when the salary TO begin with is but 5000
year, with no certainty of promotion for
perhaps several years. Mr. Hitchcock
strongly recommends a discontinuance of
installing postofhces in public buildings
devoted in part 10 other branches of the
government service. The best type of
quarters for postofice purposes, he says,
IS single large room in a one-story
building.
The system of renting boxes in post
offices Is being completely revised and a
new schedule of uniform rents is to re-
place the present intricate methods.
Much embarrassment has been occas-
Toned the postal authorities 10 provide
emergency mail facilities in mining towns,
and Mr.. Hitchcock recommends an emer-
gency appropriation of $4,000 to meet
such requirements. A recommendation
IS made for extending the use of cancel

There is one big brown bear in town
that gets coddled beyond belief, says
the New York Press. He belongs to a
Sixth avenue furrier. He is not a
live bear. Even the memory of the
oldest passenger on the elevated A.oad
goeth not back to the time of that
bears demise; yet, in spite of his long
period as dead one" he is the sleek
est, best-groomed bear in New York
That is because the furrier takes such
good care of him.
Storms are never allowed to beat
upon his glossy coat. He cannot be
humored to the extent of being brought
indoors during a downpour because it
is his business to stand on a pedestal
outside and drum up trade. but the
next best thing is done for him. He is
provided with a raincoat. 1t covers
him from snout to TAIL. so no matter
how hard the rain may beat or the
wind may blow he is insured from
damage thereby.
