The Civic League.

Our last regular meeting was so in
structive we are 10th to let it pass with
out some little notice.
In response to an invitation from our
president, Mrs. Rice A. Pierce, we were
honored with very interesting and in
structive address by Mayor Gardner,lthe
subject of sewerage being freely and
fully discussed.
Mayor Gardner fully and forcibly con-
WINGED us of what herculean task it
would be to undertake to sewer the
town at present, under financial diff
culties. IT'S well that our enthusiasm
should be tempered with the cool. sound
judgment of some strong man.
Mayor Gardner also, in clear, lucid
and entertaining way, explained to us
the obligations of the board to the town,
their financial condition, so that every
one present could easily grasp the stu
alton, his remarks being occasionally
interspersed with good humored banter
which created ripple of laughter dur
ing the entire afternoon, the occasion
being so pleasant that quite good deal
of business had to be postponed until
our next meeting the most important
being the next movement towards inn
proving the appearance of our little city.
At former meeting Mrs. Preston sug-
gested an ornamental fence around the
park, while our president advocated and
suggested an arch at the main entrance
illuminated with electric lights.
Having been criticised some by those
who favored beautifying the town to the
exclusion of everything else, we are be-
ginning to turn our attention from clean
ing up, disinfecting bitches and stag
nant pools, ETC., to the artistic and
beautiful, yet we realize we must be
made clean before we can really be
made beautiful proper, and this brings
to our mind little impromptu address
at former meeting by Mrs A. L. Bre-
ward, prefacing her remarks from quo
tation from David Copperfeld, which so
APPLY applied to the question being dis
cussed. On being asked what to do with
David, was answered with the sage re-
mark, Wash him." Mrs. Brevard
it applicable to our town said,
Wash it. She also alluded to fact
that many did not know, that she her
self and Mrs. Pierce were the first ladies
in Union City who had succeeded in
raising funds to furnish something orna-
mental and useful for our little town.
She also spoke of the 81 srous response

J. W. Thorn.

]. w. Thorn, a citizen of tlis,eisy
died last Thursday, Sept. 2, 1909, at the
age of "a years.
MIR. Thorn was for many years citi-
zen of Number Six, residing two miles
north of Troy, where he conducted a
farm successfully. He was twice MARI
ried, his first wife having died many
years ago. He was married again, the
last time to Mrs. Hornbeak who lived
in the vicinity of Woodland Mills. For
some years Mr.. Thorn has been in de-
Ginning health, resulting in his death
last week. Two sons survive Mr.. Thorn.
Deceased was a member of the Metho-
dist Church and a man of good quail
ties. He was quiet in his habits,
honorable and highly esteemed.
The remains were conveyed Friday to
Mount Ararat for burial. Services were
conducted by Rev. Joyner, of Troy.

Judge j. E. Jones.

Judge Joseph +. Jones, who became
anational character by reason of his tra
of the Nightriders at Union City, is {
candidate for reelection.
We are informed that hard fight i,
being made, and will be made agains
him.
Judge Jones deserves re- election with.
out fight.
1t is unfair that he should be com.
PEELED to 60 upon the stump from town
to town in his district, and bear the
burden, and labor, and expense of a
campaign.
When Judge Jones went into the Night
rider case, he took his life into his own
hands. He encountered opposing forces
and obstacles that would have appalled,
a man of less courage As he saw his
duty, he attempted to discharge it to
the letter.
:. A unique situation confronted Judge
Jones. An oath bound secret organiza-
ton formed in his district. They held
their oath to be above the law of the
land, and instead of obeying legal au-
thorities, took orders from men who
were striking at the roots of society.
They did murder, and they claimed
they had right to doit. They assassi-
mated lawyer, and, in so many words,
stated to the court: What are you
going to do about it. "
Judge Jones election should come
from the asking for the office.
His friends in the district should
make his campaign for him.
OF course, any lawyer has right to
run against Judge Jones, but it does
seem that his opponent should curb his
ambition to succeed him this time. To
defeat Judge Jones will be to give ap-
proval to the acts of those who at
tempted to throttle the law in Obion
County.
We do not know whether Attorney
General Caldwell of that district is a
candidate for reelection. If he offers,
he, also, should be returned.
The Commercial Appeal knows little
of Judge Jones personal politics, and
cares less. 1t makes no difference to
us whether he is Patterson Democrat,
a squaw Democrat, a State-wider, or
local optionist. He is a good Tennes-
sean; he is an honor to the bench.
In spite of the fact that the Supreme
Court reversed the decision of his court,
Judge Jones did put the fear of the law
into the hearts of the lawless, and the
Iawless should not be permitted to re-
joice in his Hefeat Commercial APP
peal.

New York, Oct 20.-The suit OF
Frances Work Batonyi for an abso.
Lutte divorce from Aurel Batonyi, the
whip. which has been on trial before
Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman and
jury, is in the hands OF the jury.
Mr.. Batonyi was the only witness
In his own behalf. After he had
given such vigorous denials of the
charges concerning his conduct with

icab and with Margaret Lawrence in
her apartments that the court admon-

him through a cross-eXamination and
got his temper to boiling heat.
Mr.. Olcott read paragraphs from
Batonyi's original cross complaint In
answer to Mrs. BatonyPs suit In u
complaint that was withdrawn, but
was published in newspaper, In
which the defendant impeached his
wifes conduct with Frank Sturgis,
banker for the Work family, includ-
ing an allegation that she was the
mistress of Sturgis. The cross com.
plant also contained the charge that
Mrs. Batonyi had an architect come
to the house for the ostensible pur.
pose of planning some changes, while
her real object was to be able to
visit him in the night.
In his later answer Batonyi had
declared that his relations with his
wife were perfectly happy during the
period covered by the original accu..
sations, and Mr.. Olcott asked him II
the original accusations were true.
Batonyi said he had no comment to
make on the charges and was sorry
that Mr.. Olcott had brought them
out. Mr. Olcott demanded the name
of the architect, but the court ruled
out the answer.
When Mr. Olcott insisted on an ex.
planation of Batonyi's later affidavit
that he and his wife lived happily to-
gether, he said; 1--WE did live happily
together until Frank k. Sturgis inter
fered and caused trouble. The truth

Painful
Dyspepsia
\ Form of Indigestion Caused by
Gastric Irritation from Undiecs-
ted Food i'm the Stomach.

No kind of dyspepsia is better
marked than that known as painful
indigestion and it is also q very
common affection. Pain, generally of
dull character, is felt after meals,
ty of the symptom is proportionate to
the quantity and quality of the meal.
When the stomach is empty, a SEN
sation of craving or emptiness gives
most trouble. This often, causes
false appetite. wh.ch, by inducing
the person to eat heartily aggravates
the sufferings. Thirst generally
causes NUN alnoyarte; heartburn.
water-brash, acidity, nausea, and
headache are not infrequent attend
ants. The tongue is usually coated
and from a mere inspection of this or
gan the condition of the stomach
can be often correctly told.
It is common error with persons
who suffer from stomach pain caused
by indigestion and gastric irritation,
to use such drugs as chlorodyne, Hoff
mans Anodyne, and other pain
killers for it's relief Such treatment
is a great mistake. While these drugs
afford temporary relief to the dys-
peptic pain, they have no affect what
ever in removing the cause.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets re-
move the cause. BY completely di
gesting all the food in the stomach,
there is no further possibility of the
occurrence of this disagreeable form
of dyspepsia with its painful mani
festations, and other concurrent sym
ptoms. All Of the irritation of the
stomach-lining and stomach-nerves as
the result OF the undigested food ly-
ing in that organ and undergoing
fermentation and decomposition, is
quickly done away with.
But not only Is the form of dys-
pepsia which is accompanied by pain
cured through the use of these diges-
tive tablets, but also every other form
nf Indigestion. as there are many
kinds in which stomach pain does
not occur, but where there are many
symptoms equally disagreeable. dis

couraging.
