Popular Conception of Work

Popular conception OF a detective is
entirely wrong. Most people, unac-
quainted with his methods, paint him Of
the style Of Sherlock Holmes, or lie Cog,
or Nick Carter. or after the type OF
the active hero Of Knots United.
which an energetic press agent OF the
Pinkerton's once foisted on an unsus-
pecting public. They imagine a round
of DISCUSSES, and third degree with IN
struments Of torture. and all sorts OF
similar foolery; and they're wrong.

moments later, ''pinehes" him and sends
him, poSt-hsste. TO the station IN the

The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-09-03

It seems to us that a very easy plan
ia get rid Of the weeds, which are all
ways so rank and hideous along the
streets and on vacant lots in Union
City, would be to SOW Bermuda grass
everywhere. We were looking the other
| day day a; az the weeds behind the Chinese
laundry, on the boneyard, across the
railroad on the other side, on the ground
north Of the union station and in many
places on the streets and the thought
came that very cheap and easy plan
to handle the proposition would be a
crop of Bermuda grass. This grass is
growing on the streets in some parts OF
the city, and these streets are much
more presentable than those with all
sorts Of rank and poisonous weeds.
There are some objections to the Ber-
muda grass, but we believe there are a
great deal more to the weeds. There
are also objections to the sparrows which
have forced themselves upon us, but the
little pests are great bug and fly destroy
ers. If that is not enough excuse to
make peace terms with Mr.. Sparrow
the demands upon him would be heavy
indeed. We have our suspicious, though
not a scientist, that the substitution OF
Bermuda grass for weeds would drive
out millions of disease germs. We do
not take much to popular fads, but the
idea that flies have monopoly OF germ
transmission is somewhat extravagant.
Most epidemics are the results OF infec-
ton rather than contagion. That is
the germs are transmitted through the
air, and who knows but that the weeds
are greatly responsible for the condition
of the air. There are a great many
useful herbs among the weeds, but
many of the weeds must evidently be
very poisonous. We don t know wheth-
er the Bermuda proposition is worth
anything or not, but it is very good
space killer.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-09-03

We are glad to learn from Congress
man Garrett that The Commercial was
mistaken about the new postoffice Gov
eminent building recently authorized to
be erected in Union City 1t was taken
for granted that, as long as no appro-
priation had been made for the building,
that no provision was made for it. That
was the error. The public buildings are
authorized by one committee, the bill
carving the amount to be expended,
but the appropriation is not made until
the Committee on Appropriations passes
upon it, which has not yet been done IN
our case. The building is authorized,
however and will be provided for as
soon as our number is reached. The
only trouble regarding the Union City
building was that the lot was not select
ed and secured in the time allotted.
That simply deferred the building until
later date. 1t simply means that the
Union City building should have been
about the sixty-fourth or sixty-ffth to
be erected, but was deferred on account
of the lot not being selected in the time
limit. to the one hundred and twelfth
or thirteenth. Dyersburg's building
will be about the sixty-third One thing
sure, Union City will get better build
ing than Paris. The appropriation for
Paris was $40, 600. Ten thousand was
allowed for site, leaving $50, 600 for the
building. The Union City site cost
SIS. 900, which leaves $45. 900 for build
ing, and the building will therefore be a
good one unless the contractor turns out
to be a boodIer
