G. L. Rulings, of Obion, was
elected last Monday by the Coun
ty Court as Superintendent Of
Publice Instruction for Obion
County to succeed the late W. H.
Cook, or G. R. Kenney, his sue
cessor by appointment. Mr.. Rid
ings has been engaged as princi-
pal of the public school at Obion
for some time. He is recognized
as a teacher of ability and first
rate citizen, young man, COM
paratively, of mental capacity and
attainments, of the most excellent
moral tone and character. He
seems to be full of practical OPP
timism and the metal which is un-
doubtedly calculated to make the
county an exceptionally good su-
perintendent. These are the ad-
vance suggestions we have of the
gentleman and his appearance has
stimulated our confidence in his
merits. Anyway we are perfectly
willing to take him on trust, and
hereby tender him the use of our
sanctum sanctorum until we can
exchange few grips, signs and
pass words. We are not afraid of
the results.

REVENUES INCREASED.

Mr.. Merritt Taylor reports that
the revenue receipts of the post
office in Union City for the year
ending April 1, 1908, show an in
crease over last year. Last year
the amount was approximately
$4,000. This year the revenue
amounts to $4,000. The real net
increase was, however, practically
much more than this when the loss
in box rent resulting from the es-
tablishment of city free delivery
is taken into consideration. This
loss for the year was about $500.
Therefore leaving the box rent
out of the statement the increase
would be about 500. By this
method of calculation wha IS
known, strictly speaking, as pos
tai revenues from the cancellation
of stamps, money orders, ETC., it
is to be seen that through the
channels of business in Union City
our postal revenues have increased
in one year nearly one thousand
dollars, or one-eleventh more than
for the same period last year

The riImOr was current today on good
authority that no time viii be lost in
taking steps in the House for the ex-
pulsion of Lilley. if he fails to make
good his charges.
The request for expulsion would be
Iut on the ground that he had attacked
the integrity OF the membership OF the

tion would end his political career, when
he is on the threshold Of receiving bis
