PROMINENT MINISTERS.

A fact in connection with the
Memphis Conference, which re,
fleets great honor upon Lauder
dale County, is that two of the
leading divines in this large body
of talented men are products of
our home county. We refer to
Revs. H. B. Johnston and w. d.
Jenkins, both of whom have occu-
pied some of the most prominent
stations in the bounds of the con
ference.
Rev. w. D. Jenkins, L. L. D.,
was born in Lauderdale County
and grew up on a farm near Rip
ley. During his boyhood days he
attended school in the rural dis.
tricts, such as they had at that
time, and later on was a student
under Capt. H. t. Hanks, and af-
terwards for three years attended
McTyre Institute and finished his
course at the famous Vanderbilt
University. His first charge was
Alamo and Bells. In 1882 he was
married to Miss Mollie Butler, of
Bells. 1883 was spent on a farm
near Ripley as junior preacher on
the Ripley circuit. For a number
of years he served the charges at
Brownsville, Denmark, Milan,
Buntyn, and for four years each
was presiding elder of the Union
City and Brownsville districts. He

In addition to this Saturdays
Nashville Banner contained the
following:
"The Postmaster General to-day or
dered the establishment of city de-
livery at Union City, Tenn, on Feb
i, 1907, with three letter carriers, one
substitute carrier and twenty-six
street letter boxes"
From this it will be seen that
Union City is listed for city mail
delivery by the Postoffice Depart
ment and that it will be operative
on the 1st day of February, 1907.
Our Postmaster, 6. L. Taylor,
says that the cause of the hitch,
which has held up the order for
some time, was shortage of $72
in the amount of yearly revenue
in order to obtain city
delivery, and that the order came
in response to a private letter
written by him to Mr.. Brownlow.

TORCH AND DYNAMITE.
Night Riders Destroy Large Tobacco
Stemmeries.

Princeton, KY, Dec. 3. - At l
o'clock Saturday morning band
of night riders numbering 200 and
300 men, rode into town and burned
the tobacco stemmeries OF John Orr
and J. A. Stenger. The loss is esti-
mated at S150,000. Three hundred
pounds of tobacco were destroyed.
Orr is the agent of the Imperial
Tobacco Company, and Stenger is
agent for Gallagher, the Irish to-
bacco king. Both are said to be
allies of the American Tobacco
Company, against which the dark
tobacco growers of Kentucky are
alleged to have been waging war.
AT Orr's factory the torch was APP
piled, but at Stenger's the building
was blown up with dynamite and
the runs fired. The marauders
worked the utmost system. all wore
black masks and white handker-
chiefs pinned to the left shoulder
to identify each other in the dark.
am Immediately on their arrival they
took possession of the telegraph
Office and the telephone exchange.
Having cut off all communication
with the outside they took posses
sion of the police station and held
the town marshal and night police
man in custody until they left town.
They took charge of the water
works, placing guards over the
pumping station, so that no effort

The high water and foods Of last sea-
son swept away great portion Of the
irrigation canals here, The head OF
each ditch was destroyed. The loss
caused the people to unite on the one
upper ditch and a more united scnti-
ment prevails than ever before An
effort will be made to put IN a more
substantial head for the canal on high
er ground and on a more permanent
foundation.
Good crops were raised here last
year''and the prospects are good for
this season There are good openings
in this region for energetic, industrious
people. Good places can be purchased
Oh very reasonable terms. The climate
Is all that could be asked for. The
greatest drawback is the drinking
water. which has TO be hauled from a
spring about two miles away This,
however, could be piped at reason
able cost and would be a great blessing
to the town. An artesian well was
driven here and water obtained, but
il is not ut to drink as IL is so i'm
pregnated with mineral.
A number OF locations have been
made on the other side OF the river
below st, Thomas ana there are some
good openings there for home seek
ers as land and water rights can be
obtained on reasonable terms. Fruit
raising could proftably receive greater
attention in this district, as It brings
excellent returns This Is an ideal
climate for all the more tender yarie-
ties Of grapes and an excellent market
can be had in the nearby mining
camps There is no reason why in
dustrious, intelligent people should not
soon make q competency here.
