WESTPORT

It looks rather desoIate about the old Westport Hotel. since the deatt and funeral of pr. George J. Under wood. Groups of old men stand on the piazza talking over the sad change in the condition of affairs. The blinds are up on the bar room and people step about slowly and softly. There Is an unusual quiet at the old corner and the oldest inhabitant has to look elsewhere for refreshment and inspir- ation- But this sad state of things will not long continue. An effort is being made to transfer the license to the widow. Mrs. Mary A. Underwood. and since some of our foremost citizens have signed the application it is likely to be granted Among these are Hon. Charles H. Kemper. Frank E. Sturges. Esq. Henry F. Rippe. William H.

WANT ADS CENT A WORD

After the Nulsances.

Citizens of Division street, quite a
number, were present at the meeting of
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen last
Tuesday night protesting against the
existence of nuisance on that street
in close proximity to the Baptist
Church, Several speeches were made.
The first address was by Rev. Watson
and several followed, including former
Mayor John T. Walker, A. D. Keller,
S. D. Woosley, 7. F. Stubs, John
Coldwell, D. P. Caldwell. Getting to
the point, these citizens are protesting
against the conduct of the occupants Of
the negro cabins on the lot opposite
the Baptist Church to the east, in front
of the church. Several disgraceful and
uncomfortable incidents were related in
full by these gentlemen, some of whom
stated that the same state affairs had
been allowed to exist for several years
Now, the property is owned by one of
the most widely esteemed ladies in
Union City, and her name was men
toned in the most deferential and re-
spectful terms, with the remark that it
could hardly be possible that she knew
the facts in the case. Rev. Watson
stated that he was invariably, almost,
disturbed in his services at the church
by the most indecent and harassing oc-
currences across the way, in plain view,
by residents of the locality mentioned.
The remarks of Rev. Watson were in
dorsed and several offered additional
testimony to the disgraceful proceed
ings. Mr.. Embrey and Mr. Beck were
present representing the property in
terests, explaining that Mrs. Beck had
no intention OF allowing anyone but
law-abiding tenants to occupy the
cabins. The trouble was precipitated
by the petition of Mrs. Beck to be
allowed to make some Improvements
on the cabins. The law is that no
frame buildings or repairs to frame
buildings of the same material can be
made in the fire limits without the con-
sent of the Board and the unanimous
consent of the neighbors. The petition
was before the Board and the citizens of
Division street were there to protest
against its passage, addressing them
selves to that subject in the meeting as

The Commercial wants to state il
connection with the Fourth of July ad
Tertising in this paper, announcing the
celebration in Union City this year ano
all other advertising and references te
the celebration that, at no time, have
we stated everything would be free.
This statement was never made in the
paper this year, or any other paper that
we know of. Some years previous we
announced that admission would be
free, but not this year. As to advertis-
ing everything free, that is altogether a
mistake. No town has ever given a
Fourth of July celebration free in this
or any other county, so far as we know.
Union City has, however, had several
celebrations on the streets in which
there was no general admission, and
always, at every celebration, free ice
water. All these things have been done
at a great deal of cost. This year a
little less than half of the amount neces-
sary to give celebration was subscribed,
therefore it was necessary to raise the
balance of the amount by charging an
admission at the fair grounds. No
town can entertain a crowd absolutely
free-give the visitors free admissions to
all attractions, meals and quarters and
ice water at no cost whatever. That is
a mistake. Union City has heretofore
furnished free general admission on the
streets and ice water. When the
athletic association gave the fourth of
July celebrations twenty years ago ad-
mission was always charged to the
athletic park south of town. After the
park meetings the celebrations had
short lapse. But in 1907 they were re-
newed with one of the most extensive
celebrations Union City ever had. That
year the celebration was held on the
streets and there was no general ad-
mission of any kind. Several of the
same kind were held after that. Three
years ago the most extensive of all the
Fourth of July celebrations in Union
City was given and an admission fee to
the fair grounds was charged. This
was the occasion of the sham battle by
the Confederate veterans. This years
celebration was not on such a large
scale, but a number of the features
the parade, the fireworks and the music
and baseball-were all good. The
races, we admit, were not creditable,
but there was enough to well repay the
visitors for coming.

A deal was made this week whereby
B. S. Richardson and III. F. Helton
become owners and proprietors of the
Obion Democrat, the former owner, w.
H. Griffin, to take up his work as
special reporter for the Associated
Press. A coincidence in the history of
the Democrat was the death of Col. w.
G. Tatom, it's first editor, about the
time the trade was made. Col. Tatom
was a fluent writer and man of wide
information and knowledge of litera-
ture. Col. Tatom went to Knoxville,
and then his partner, w. III. Griffin,
Sr., assumed editorial control. After
Mr.. Griffin's death the property was
sold to Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Preston
and edited by them, and two years age
again transferred to w. H. Griffin, Jr.
OF the present owners, Mr.. Richardson,
is a son-in-law of Mrs. Preston. Mr..
Richardson has lately been employed
in Chicago, and Mr.. Helton in Cairo
They are both practical printers, anC
hence have no great journey to make il
newspaper work. We extend to them
cordial greetings.

lstated. Representatives Of Mrs. Becl
Explained how she had acquired thu
property, and that it was part OF hel
! income, but that she had no idea what
ever Of the extent of the nuisances re
lated. 1t was also stated that Mrs.
Beck had on several occasions tried tc
| dispose OF the property in order to gel
rid of objections which had been made,
and not being able to sell she thought
by improving the property that bet
ter class of tenants might be secured.
Some of those present who came to
protest made no secret of thefact that
they believed she was holding the
property at price too high to find a
ready purchaser.
In the speech made by Mr.. Walker,
he thought that the proper way to pro-
coed was to increase the police force
and keep the premises in question UNI
der strict police surveillance. II offenses
were committed, the offenders should
be arrested, and if disreputable charac-
tiers were allowed to occupy the cabins,
the owner should be held responsible as
the law directs. This solution OF the
question seemed to have some support,
and it was thought by this course OF
procedure the nuisance might be abated
to considerable extent, with the pros
poets of finally removing the whole
trouble.
The citizens excusing themselves, the
Board resumed the regular order of
business, finally declining the petition
of Mrs. Beck.
During the debate relative to the
Division street nuisance, Mr.. Stubbs
and Mr.. Hefey mentioned the all
night sessions at the colored Odd Eel
lows Hall, claiming that they as citi-
zens of that loclaity were disturbed at
various hours of the night by the most
disagreeable proceedings held at the
hall. They protested that the nuisance
was getting too bold and unbearable,
and that, as citizens, they had come to
ask protection. Other resorts in the city
were mentioned in these remarks.
During the meeting Of the Board
which followed these speeches, it was
recommended, according to Mr.. Walk
er's plan, to increase the police force,
one additional night police
man and assigning him to special dnty
at the Odd Fellows Hall on Main street,
on Division street near the Baptist
Church, and at other points. The sug-
gestion was Endorsed and the Board
made provisions for the employment of
an extra policeman to take up the work
as planned.
