Do Not Mix Well.

The manager of the Union City Con-
cert Band requests us to announce that
the summer concerts will be given on
Friday night of each week, beginning
the latter part of May or the first OF
June, and that this night having been
set aside for the concerts it is requested
that ice cream and strawberry suppers
be given on some other night during
the week
Members of the band are not object
ing to the suppers, but in order to make
the concerts a popular institution it is
desired that nothing be in the way to
interfere with the music. A great mum
Der Of people want to be present and
hear the music who do not wish to be
at the suppers, and the band does not
want to be placed in the attitude OF
drawing a crowd in order to sell ice
cream, or that others may sell it. In
other words it is desired that the con
certs be independent of everything else
IN order that all may have the entire
benefit of the music. An effort will
also be made to keep order around the
bandstand The children have been al
lowed to make too much noise, and this
must be corrected for the benefit of those
who come to hear the music.
The band is now practicing regularly
#or the concerts, and as soon as the
weather is sufficiently warm the pro-
gram will be announced for the first
outdoor concert in the park.

Tempest and Sunshine.

One Of the most successful Southern
plays, Tempest and Sunshine" will be
seen at Reynolds Opera House on Tues
day night, May II. Tempest and Sun
shine is played by one of the highest
salaried companies playing on local
stages, consequently the production will
be something worth seeing. Tempest
and Sunshine" are two very beautiful
Southern girls, the former having an
uncomfortable temper and always TAX
ing pleasure in making trouble for 9TH
ers, and the latter, just the opposite of
her sister, gentle and patient and trying
to undo the trouble her sister has caused
A beautiful love story is woven through
out the play, making it of such an in
tensely interesting nature that one for
gets they are only in theatre and not
down in the South. The costumes are
all of the old-fashioned style, quaint
and pretty, the gowns being of airy
crinoline stuffs made in the fashions OF
Dolly Madison times, which is the period
of the play.
Beautiful Southern melodies are intro
duced with striking effect. Anyone who
is interested in seeing beautiful play
sumptuously mounted and presented in
first-class manner should not fail to
see Tempest and Sunshine. +"

every right thinking person in the
county will be nightly reioiced to
learn that Prof. Will N. Calhoun, now
of Portageville, Mo-, has professed re-
ligion and will enter Immediately the
ranks of the Cumberland Presbyterian
ministry. West Tennessee has pro

And feel that swelling of the heart

Mrs. Brevard and the ladies of the
Leonidas Polk Chapter evidently feel
very proud of the school exhibition and
the crowd of spectators present at the
"Deestrick Skule" at Reynolds Opera
House last Friday night
1t was home talent event strictly
and everybody enjoyed it. There were
none on the stage looking for profess
sional bouquets and the result was a
treat.
There are a few personal reminiscent

laid away for the purpose of being hid
We were also IS going on T" sitting
on stool spinning tops when Brother
Wheeler drew his long beech switch and
brought it to around the shins. The re-

Wheeler, but it was during the days

life miserable for the townspeople and
Brother Wheeler parson) and the school
by seesawing on the yard fences. The
Deestrick Skule" had a tendency to
revive these things.
In the meeting of the school COM
mttee there was flavor of primitive
customs. Wallace Moffett would make
an old-time director look like cigar
cite. His spinach" was very becom-
ing and his drawl was easily worn.
When Teacher Pendergrass called his
classes school days came back again,
and many an old-timer in the audience
dubbed over. There were Samuel
Shocks and Mehitabel Jones, jeremiah
Jenkins, Sallie Brown and all the other
scholars. Little Brother" was a comic
supplement feature, but Mr. Stantield
needed a speaking part to unloose his
humor 1t is said that the worst pro-
fessional is better than the best anna
teur, but he has the cult of profess
sional
Harry Robinson and Squire Lawson
are all right on the curb, but somewhat
restrained under the discipline of stage
tactics.
Sallie Brown, Sally in Our Ally or
any other Sally would be just as inter
esting by Miss Lucille George.
Samuel Shocks by Mr.. Embry was a
hit His stammering was genuine and
his style original and full of humor.
Would like to name all the other
ladies and gentlemen in the cast They
had an equal share in contributing to
the entertainment
The entire program was thoroughly
enjoyed and the chapter netted very
neat sum, something more than $135.

Evolution of Whisky Traffic.

The idea that the temperance move
ment is tidal wave, going out anC
coming in like the waters of the sea
cannot be depended upon, and those
who treat the subject in an inconsequen
tial way, resting in the belief that after
the passions OF the hour have subsidized
the saloons will return under the same
style and conduct, with liquors and
wines and bar (the mint julep and the
eocktaiD in the same old way may as
well prepare for disappointment. The
reign of the saloon and its barkeeper
with his white apron have had their day
1t is hardly probable that the same old
time congenial spirit with his good
cheer will invite his friends to join him,
like the Kentucky Colonel, as of yore.
The custom is falling into decay and
the saloons are following. Perhaps the
question of prohibition might not have
reached us for some years yet, but for
the fact that large element of whisky
dealers had resorted to so many forms
of adulteration, thus reaching the ban
of popular favor at a much earlier pc
Rod. But the history of the world is
one of evolution, and the whisky traffic
is no exception. Perhaps an honest
whisky commerce might have increased
the life of the saloon, but inevitably il
must submit to changes which Father
Time is making.
In the years to come it may be pos
sible that alcohol may be had as bev-
erage, but not in the same form and in
the same way.
When the period of the saloon has
fully passed there will beno effort to re-
turn. The custom will be considered
out of date and undesirable. As long
as civilization advances evolution will
be towards a higher plane, leaving the
saloon farther and farther behind as it
develops, with no likelihood Of return
until the possibility of national decline,
which we hope is not to be contemplated

The house is full Of medicine
And mystery profound;
We cannot even run about
Or make the slightest sound;
They keep the big piano shut,
We cannot strike note,
The doctors been here twenty times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge week ago
Got in at 4 a. M.
And sixteen members brought him
home,
Though he says he brought them.
His leg was sprained and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
The members had jolly time
When father rode the goat
He's resting on the couch to-day
And practicing the signs
The Mailing signal, call and grip,
And other monkey shines;
lie utters passwords meath his breath,
And other things he'll quote
The members had an evenings work
When father rode the goat
He has brilliant uniform,
All red, and white and blue,
A hat with plumes and scarlet braid,
And golden badges, too
But somehow when we mention it,
His visage wakes grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.
