Sketch Artist.

We were shown a copy of the Kan
sas City Times last week by K. F.
Tisdale of this city, containing an
illustrated letter cartooning the pre-
vailing extremity of ladies' hats
and garments. The article was
about a column and half in
length with several Illustrations,
written and sketched by Simmons
Tisdale, son OF the former and for
merly of this place. The young
man is now employed on the K. c.
Times to do this kind of work.
The literary and sketch work both
show that he has developed into an
artist in his line. What takes his
friends here by more agreeable sur
prise than anything else is the quail
ity and originality of the descrip-
ton. 1t is all good and much to

CATARRH YIELDS

To Healing Air of Hyomei Sold
Under Guarantee by Red Cross
Drug Store.
Catarrh is the most prevalent dis
ease known to humanity. Probably
ninety per cent of the people in this
country suffer at one time or another
with this common disease.
1t is a germ disease and hence can
be cured only by some method that
will reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomei, which
may be called the direct method OF
treating catarrh, as its medication,
taken in with the air you breathe,
goes directly to every air cell in the
nose, throat and lungs; kills all ca
tarrhal germs; heals the irritated mu-
cous membrane and vitalizes the It's
sues so as to render catarrh no longer
possible.

Many of the bridges Of the coun-
ty are id bad repair on account OF

bridge question still rises to con
front as. We would like to re-

River leading from District Num-
Der Sixteen in Obion County to

October term. of the court last
year an order was made for the
building of a bridge across Obion
River at this place, with provis-
ions for an expenditure of 81, 900,
provided Weakley County appro-
priated an equal amount for the
bridge. The bridge was substan-
TALLY built and approved and the
expense to Obion County was less
than $500. We cannot account for
the fact that this bridge was built
so much cheaper than the usual
cost Of our bridges, but, as stated,
it might serve rs an object lesson
in county bridge building.

Friends of both the candidates

good feeling will prevail through

WILL BE UNANIMOUS.

The Commercial stated in the
outset that it was our purpose to
keep hands off in the Guberna-
torial contest now being waged in
the State. In favoring a direct or
general primary election we did
not intend to bolster the interests
of any particular candidate. 1t
was not what Patterson or what
Carmack wanted - that was not
the principle which affected the
cause of Democracy most. When
that travesty on elections = the
Cox-Patterson eampaign-was con-
Guided we pledged the paper to the
cause of election reform and the
primary election as system en-
bracing a minimum amount of
chances for fraud. The attention
of Democrats all over the United
States is turning to the primary
system as the best nominating
method-not the primary-conVen-
ton plan-but the plain, straight,
primary, protected with such legal
safeguards as best suits the vari-
GUS localities.

POLICE WE'RE LATE
Raid Saloon But Women Alleged tt
Have Been There Had Flown

The police of Kenosha were just ten
minutes late last Saturday night when
they made a raid on saloon run by
Joe Karpis or Main street and it is
claimed that the people wanted had es-
capped out the back door Of the saloon
just before the chief and his men went
in at the front door. Just after eleven
o clock the chief of the department
received a complaint that there were
three Racine women in the saloon and
that their conduct had not been all
that was to be demanded of perfect
ladies and the chief and his men
started out to get the women. They
got the proprietor Of the saloon and
he remained in Jail for several hours.
No complaint was fled against him
this morning and he was discharged
from custody. The police have been
ordered to keep close watch on the
place.

MAY WIDEN CHICAGO STREET
Council to Be Asked to Take Some
Steps to Improve Street

Efforts are being made to have Chi
cago street between Market and Park
street improved and it is possible that
the City Council will find way to
widen the street and make a splendid
boulevard in front Of the new post of
fee building. It is claimed by attor-
neys who have taken the matter up
with the members of the Council, that
the street should be fourteen feet
wider than it is at the present time.
This amount of land is said to have
been decided by property owners along
the east side of the street with the
understanding that it should be turned
over to the city at any time that the
city was ready to widen the street.
The government will undoubtedly in
sist that this street be paved when the
new building is under way. AS the
city owns the lot at the southeast corn
er of the two streets and it is ultimate
ly planned as a site for the new city
hall, it is probable that the city will
be perfectly willing to see the street is
improved.

RACINE TO QUIT
Northern Neighbor to Leave Fast Lake
Shore League to Join State League

Finding it impossible to keep the
pace set by the strong teams of the
Lake Shore League, the managers of
the Racine -.ub have decided to quit
this league and have applied fer a
franchise in the Wisconsin State
League. Appleton has also asked for a
franchise and it is expected that both
teams will be admitted.
Base ball managers believe that Ra-
cine is getting into pretty hot water
for unless the team is at the very top
of the column it is pretty certain that
daily games will prove a failure in
the Belle City. The Lake Shore League
will not miss Racine greatly as the
team has never been better than in
fifth place and Racine has not been
one of the best towns on the circuit by
any measure. IF Racine gets into the
state league it is probable that the
Lake Shore League will take in Osh-
kosh which seems to be anxious to get
out of the state league and into the
Lake Shore organization.
