S0th anniversary, The Union City
Commercial, one OF the best veeklies
in the United States. prints the fol-
lowing;
"The Hickman Courier has install
ed a new typesetting machine-the
Junior Linotype. The Hickman
paper is one Of the oldest established
in this section Of the United
States and one of the best weeklies
published. 1t is nov conducted by
Speer & Sexton, who have made
many improvements in the Office.
The latest is the linotype machine,
the greatest invention of modern
newspaperdom. The Courier dates
way back to the ffties along
with the State Gazette at Dyersburg
and Editors George Warren and
Tom Neal we're two OF the best
known newspaper men, not only in
the local field, but in their respective
States. Col. Neal is retired at his
home in Dyersburg, living as an
honor to his profession and citizen
ship. Editor Warren has long ago
passed over the Great Divide, re-
vered and esteemed also as man
of parts. Contemporaneous news
paper publishers have felt the weight
of their pens and their influence has
left its impress on the profession Of
to-day. Young men have taken
their places, and among them
none are making better structures
than the editors Of the Courier"

"Funny, isn't It." said the observant
woman, chow our clothes are named ?
In some of them there is sort of pre-
tense that may please others. but It
seems absurd to me. For instance, l
have had woman show me a coat
and tell me how fine it would be for
driving when neither | nor one in a
hundred of her customers would ever
get into carriage. Then the motor
veils-just see how every woman rush
es to get them. suppose they will be
selling thousands of aviation hats next
But II you don't realize how our
clothes are named and the foolishness
OF Il just consider that at the same
time a woman may wear SO called
tennis blouse, sailor collar, walking
shoes, riding hat, motor veil, a
trotting skirt, a golf vest and driv-
ing coat. And, In spite of the com
plexity of sports. she wouldn't look
particularly incongruous either" New
