SPECULATION IN TICKETS.

Considerable complaint has reached
US concerning speculation alleged -

Music Master There can be no lie
Tense of a premium thus placed upon
the pleasures of the people.
We feel sure that the management
do not desire that any exaction shall
be made for admission to the theatcr
above the figures demanded at the box
office; but they should take pains to
see that none IS made.
Henceforward, when plays are billed
which are likely to excite the cupidity
of spectators, we suggest that no tick
cts be sold except to those who give the
names of the persons who will occupy
the. seats. A list should then be taken
ami no tickets honored which vary from
the list.

applicant and was about to pluck the
plum over John s. Hornsby, the in
cumbent. Todd went to Washington
and was discussing the matter with the
First Assistant Postmaster General, F.
HI. Hitchcock, when telegram was
handed Hitchcock from Martin, Tenn.
signed by Ryan and Hurt in their Off
cial capacity as president and cashier of
the Farmers and Merchants Bank,
which said institution has since gone in
to liquidation, and been succeeded by
the City National Bank, of which they
are now officials. 1t is alleged that the
telegram charged that there was no
doubt that Todd had forged letters of
recommendation to the Postofice De-
partment from citizens, and that it
claimed that a majority of the patrons
of the office at Martin did not want that
kind of a man for postmaster there
Todd failed to get the postoffice and al
leges that this telegram was the cause
of it. Hence this suit. The cause will
likely consume several days. Deposi-
tions of prominent Republicans all over
the State are on hand ready for reading.

CUMBERLANDS IN INDIANA.
Appellate Court Decides in Favor of
Cumberland Presbyterians.

Mr.. R. Lee Baskette last night re-
ceived telegram from indianapolis,
Ind, informing him that the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church had won its
lawsuit in the Appellate Court in that
State. The message came from H. M.
Reister, attorney for the. Cumberlands.
The suit in that State involved di-
rectly two churches, that at Munroe
City and that at Washington. In the
lower court at Evansville the suit was
decided against the Cumberlands, but
the Appellate Court has just reversed
the lower court and given the churches
to the Cumberlands.
Mr.. Baskette states that although this
is not the highest court in the State that
tits very difficult to get case appealed
from that court or reversed after it is ap-
pealed and that this places the affairs
of the Cumberlands on the same basis
in Indiana that they are in Tennessee.

BASE BALL.
Dresden's Second Defeat.

For the second time Caruthers' clar
of baseballists soundly walloped the
crew at Dresden; this time by the score
of Is to 0. Leaving on the $50 train
Friday morning, everything outside
looked like an inclement day for ball.
But the weather got good and let down
some fair sunshine to dry away the ac-
cumulated moisture. The team at
Dresden is simply too small for the
bunch of Nightriders, and consequently
the result. However they are as clean
lot of fellows as we have ever met
and play at times some very neat base
ball.
McTyeire is the next game on docket,
and this will likely be far and away the
greatest, most important game of the
year. 1t is fortunate that we have ar
ranged to have the game on the local
diamond, that Union City may have op-
portunity to see it. Then, too, it will
likely be the last battle on the home
field. The regular season of baseball
will likely close with Trenton, at Tren-
ton.
1t will take some rubbing yet to get
the men in perfect order. There are
still few defects in one or two spots,
which can be cured, however, by some
polishing. Half of any victory may
well be said to be attributable to team
work. That is what counts most, and
that is what has been stressed in the
practice of the team McTyeire has an
enviable record of victories, and doubt
less has splendid aggregation Of play
ers. But with continued practice and
polishing, considering too that the game
is to be pulled off on our field, and with
an even break of luck. Union City
ought to win. To say the least, if vim
and fire to play together count for any
thing, the Training School boys will get
a good end of the broomstick and a
breaking such as they desire. 1t will
be close, close game, therefore give us
the biggest crowd you have yet fur
nished.
Game called at o'clock, May 1.
Admission 15 and 25 cents.

ton in Massachusetts,, the town where
he was born. We lived in Boston and
the distance between us and Westhamp-
ton was about 110 miles. We children
expected to make the journey every
summer to see Westhampton, our
grandfather and grandmother, our un-
cles, aunts and cousins. To compass
this visit an open carriage such as we
then called barouche came around to
the house in Boston at o'clock in the
morning. Two trunks were fastened on
it behind, or perhaps one trunk swung
by straps from the hinder axle On the
back seat Of this barouche sat my father
and mother and one of the smaller of
us children. On an opposite seat sat
two, and on the higher drivers seat,
with Fullam, sat one.
At birmingham, where we dined,
and at Worcester, where we slept, we
children reveled in the delights of coun-
try taverns. In those days we did not
say much about hotels From Wor-
cester, on the second day, we tried the
adventure, as Amadis would say, of a
longer drive to Northampton, Those
hills of Worcester County and Hamp-
shire are not mole hills and you will
see that the horses did well if by night
on the second day we were at North
ampton. The next morning, ten miles
more carried us to grandpapa's S house.
To-day, if I chose to take the same
journey, l should 60 to Northampton
in two or three hours, more or less, and

dear old house in an hour more"

Mr.. Taft and the South.

Two little stories about the distri-
button of Federal pie in the South have
been culled by the Washington Herald.
The first had to do with an appoint
ment in North Carolina which Senator
Simmons went to the White House to
protest. The Herald quotes the Wash
ington correspondent of a North Caro-
lima paper as giving the following con-
versation:
Well now, Senator, said the Presi-
dent, I am frank to say to you that if
this man is Objectionable to you, will
hesitate about appointing him. | am
deslrous always of consulting you gen
tlemen from the South in such matters.
Since you don't like this man, suppose
you suggest name to me.
No sir, Mr.. President, never, "ex-
claimed Simmons.
No! Why not?" asked Taft.
For this simple reason, Mr.. Presi-
dent, was the reply. If 1 suggest
man to you and he is appointed, that
man will Immediately become Re-
publican, and do not propose to as
sist, sir, in making Republicans out of
our good Democrats. During your ad-
ministration l may frequently protest
against some prospective appointee;
but never shall | appear to recommend
any one to you.
It appears that Senator Frazier also
went to the White House and President
Taft availed himself of the opportunity
to make few inquiries about men and
things in this State. The Herald quotes
as follows:
Tell me who your good lawyers
are?''
That will not, " replied the Sena-
tor. Most of our good lawyers are
also good Democrats, and will not hand
them over to you to be tampered with "
1t appears from this that a good
Democrat is not necessarily to be
trusted outside the fold and Senator
Frazier intends to be jealous shepherd
of his flock. We are not prepared to
say that he is wrong Mr.. Jacob Dick
enson still protests that he is DEM
oerat. He has not been in office long.
General Wright has ceased to protest
anything at Knoxville Sentinel.

WAR is DECLARED
Great Modern Army Being Mobil-
lied in Obion County.

Citizens of Obion County would shud-
der to think that the awful scenes and
terrible sufferings of war were to be en-
acted with the boundaries of our fair
county, and we hasten to relieve the
minds of the timid by stating that al
though the battle will be fully as deter
mined and stubborn as any recorded in
the annals of history, no cannons will
be rammed, no swords will be I'M
sheathed to be dampened in human
blood and no fatalities will be noted.
Men fought the big battles of ye olden
times, while the terrific fight to take
place in Obion County will be fought
entirely by the fair sex and the two
most successful generals of the modern
battle will each receive an elegant $400
piano as reward for their good gem
eralship.
Soon you will be brought to stern
realization by the roll of drums and
the bugle's blast Already the field is
smoking and the din of the oncoming
struggle is apparent.
The opportunity to become famous
as clever general, one that can do
things, and at the same time to be re-
warded a hundred fold by one of The

sented to every young lady in Union

Never before has there been displayed
such pluck and grit, ambition and de-
