wallops M. U. s.

Memphis University School went down
in defeat here Friday afternoon before
U. G. T. S. by the score of to 5. 1t
was battle royal, great deal of de-
termination spilling out on both sides,
but the locals had the visitors outclassed
in many ways. Connors, for the clan,
did great slabwork in spite Of the fact
that he had been confined to his bed al
most all the week and was taking medi-
cine. Owing to this, the adept young
slabman found it hard to continue in
the fray, but the large crowd of local
supporters who witnessed the game went
away satisfied with his work. M. U. S.
played a scrappy game all the way
through and were at the mercy of the
home team until a single tumble on
the part of their opponents netted them
three runs.
Both the in and outfelders of Caruth-
er's clan were in the pink of condition
and were executing excellent work up
to the time of the blunder recorded,
which happened about the last inning
of the game. Memphis star pitcher
was knocked out of the box and he
made his exit during the eighth in
ming, when another youngster took his
place. Up to that time the score was
s to l in favor of U. G. T. S.
When the game was over the victors
down First street in trium-
phal procession carrying the remains of
the defeated team in pauper coffin. 1t
was quiet demonstration. Even the
school yell was forbidden while the pail
bearers came down the pike with their
burden
When Union City goes to Memphis
she had better not forget how to play
the game. The team will need all its
wits and all the ginger and snap it can

Band Concerts.

We understand that the young men
promoting the summer band concerts
are meeting with great encouragement.
The subscriptions already amount to
three hundred dollars or more. Amount
asked for is $500. This is very reason
able. As stated in the announcements
issued to the public, this will equal about
II concerts at $50 each. Estimating
the band to include an average of fifteen
members land a concert band should
not be smaller than that, the wages
for each performance would be, at the
figures stated, for each member $3.50,
or thereabouts. This will, of course,
include rehearsals, expense of buying
music or uniforms and instruments, if
necessary. The instruments and uni
forms may be all, or most all, on hand,
but the music must be bought, for every
band must have new music. The cost
Vi Il l)IOleSSlOHdl DtHu dJ dChSOll, 1cHu.j
was approximately $4,000 for three
months. This band gave daily con-
certs, but one concert week, perhaps
two, would be liberal work for home
talent, comprising young men engaged
in other lines of business. 1t must be
considered however. that Union Citv
has developed good amateur players,
and that our concerts here during the
past few years have sustained more than
local reputation for their excellence.
We sincerely trust that the citizens
will make ample provisions for these
concerts. An enterprise of this kind
and the young men who are kind enough
to devote much time to it should be en-
couraged with substantial support

There are great many people who

They have been engaged in business
here for few months comparatively,
and their business and social relations
have been pleasant altogether. They
have merited and enjoyed a very large
and liberal share of the business in
which they were engaged.
1t is fortunate, however, that the
successor is also a citizen Of the high
est business and social character and
one who will indeed enjoy continu-
ance of the public confidence. Proper

BASE BALL.
Union City VS.. Dresden Saturday At
ternoon.

On Saturday afternoon, April IL, at
the Training School Park, will be pulled
off the third regular game of the series.
This promises to be an exciting game.
Dresden has been getting in trim the
last few days and hopes to carry off the
palm on Saturday. The people already
know that the Union City school has a
number one good team for a prep
school. That they will give the Dress
denites closec call will be taken at once
as true. Rain during the early part OF
the week prevented some needed prac-
tice, but later days have furnished good
weather and the coach has been putting
them through. They will be in finest
trim for Saturdays contest Connors
will again toss the pill for the home
team. He has been sick since before
the Memphis game, but is improving
rapidly. The lineup will likely be the
same as before. The doubtful field, the
right garden, will likely be filled by
Honeycutt, who is fast making good
there. There are still faults to find
with the Training School team, but
they are few, and with little more
speed, snap and get-together they will
be 0. K. 1t is making name for the
school. Already the manager has been
deluged with challenges from various
teams all over Tennessee.
Come out, everybody who enjoys a
good game of base ball, and give us the
crowd of last week and week before.
We appreciate this unstinted patronage.
Keep it up.
The game will be called at 8 O'Clock
at the Training School Park. Admis-
sion Is and 25 cents.

Lewis Woodland.

Robert Lewis, of st. Louis, with John
7. Davis Drug Company, and Miss Lula
| Woodland, of the same city, were united
in marriage last Monday afternoon, at
o'clock, at Edwardsville, H., Rev.
Knight, pastor of St. Johns Methodist
Church, officiating. 1t was the inten-
ton of the young people to keep their
marriage secret for while, owing to
parental objections of both families, on
account of their tender years, but the
marriage leaked out, as such things
will, and Mr.. Lewis telephoned his
mother, Mrs. F. w. Preston, of this
city. Mrs. Lewis is a lovely girl,
while Mr.. Lewis is one of the bright
est boys ever reared in Union City.
He is the youngest son OF K. Lewis,
who for many years was editor OF
the Dresden Enterprise, which paper
he and his wife established in 1888.
Parental forgiveness was Immediately
extended the young folks.
The above was taken from the press
reports to the State papers. The young
man came to Union City with his moth
er and family and at once entered in
to the school work and companionships
with the most agreeable results. He
achieved distinctions and exhibited won
derful adaptability in everything under
taken. Finally, as an apprentice in
the drug business here, he was accept
ed as salesman in st. Louis, and very
complimentary reports have followed
his work

Frank M. Eaton Commissioner
from the 4th ward, on account OF
removing from the city next week,
handed in his resignation and il
was accepted with regret. The
clerk was instructed to notify the
Mayor and Common Council of his
resignation IN order that his sue
cessor may be appointed as soon as
possible. Under the school law
the vacancy must be filled by the
council.
A resolution was passed eulogiz-
ing Mr.. Eaton's services in the
Board for the past 10 years, and
expressing sincere regret that he
has decided to remove from the city,
and hence will cease to be a memb-
er of the Board. Each member
present and the Superintendent
made brief remarks relative to Mr..
Eatons good work as member OF
the school board, and all expressed
regret at his departure from our
city. He feelingly responded and
hoped that he would find as good
people in his new home as are the
people of Watertown.
A resolution was also passed re-
lative to the cutting down Of the
school appropriation asked for by
the School Board for the next year
to the extent of nearly $4,000, that
the council reconsider its action
at its next meeting and allow the
full amount asked for. Unless this
is done, some of the interests OF
the schools must suffer. The man
ual training and commercial depart
ments are growing fast IN our city,
and need better facilities in the
way of apparatus and supplies,
and the finance committee OF the
Board of Education feel that IN
order to properly conduct the schools
and keep up repairs for the next
year every dollar asked for is need
ed. This is the first time in many
years the Board of Education's es,
innate has been cut down.
