Religious Creeds.

Elsewhere in this paper we are pub
fishing an installment Of a paper on
Calvin and His Times. We are do.
ing this because of its value as an essay
and because it was written as lecture
by former esteemed citizen, Rev. John
Garth. 1t is not in the scope of coun-
ty newspaper to advance the name Of
any particular religious body or doc
trinaire. That belongs wholly to the
church paper, and the secular paper
which undertakes such work will be
more or less unsatisfactory to the
masses of its readers. Of all things in
the world a man will defend his reli-
gious creed, and a newspaper with all
shades of religious doctrine among its
readers should avoid the danger of con
tenton. AS far as this writer is con-
cerned he is not Calvinist, but is not
averse to instruction in the lives of great
men and nightly well pleased are we
with the manner Mr.. Garth has handled
his subject.
Calvin was a great character. OF that
there is no doubt. There is one COM
parison, however, Mr.. Garth has made
which is somewhat irrelevant. The idea
of accentuating the greatness OF man
of God need not be to compare him with
the devil, and because Ingersoll, the ag"
nostic. made the reflection quoted there
is no necessity in comparing Calvin with
Shakespeare. They were men OF totally
different mind and mould. One was
the greatest literary genius the other,
as Mr.. Garth claims, the greatest re-
former. One contributed to the men
tai stature of man, while the other shed
spiritual light upon the world. In
the moral atmosphere they were as diff
ferent also as the antipodes, and alike
in nothing except that each was a giant
in intellect.
AS we'll compare Martin Luther with
Moiere or Sturgeon with Lord Byron
1t is true that Shakespeare was Otter
indiscreet, but the concepts of his mine
and its revelations are marvellous to al
men.
There should be no need for reference
to Shakespeare to recall Calvin's great
naSC

How Royal Ladies Propose.

When a regning Queen is to be mar
ried she must breach the subject first Ill
her future consort. The same rule holds
good with regard to all royal ladies who
marry commoners.
Queen Victoria has told how she man
aged to put the question" to Prince
Albert how she first showed HIM
Windsor and its beauties and the dis
tant landscape, and then said: All this
NAV be yours" The Queen of Hol-
land. on a like occasion, simply sent
sprig Of white heather, begging Prince
Henri to look out its meaning in book
of flowers and their meanings. The
Duchess of Argyll took the following
means of proposing to the MARQUIS OF
Lorne: She was about to attend state
ball and gave it out that she would
choose as her partner for the first dance
the man she intended to honor. She
selected the Marquis, who subsequently
became her husband.
But perhaps the most interesting OF
all ways chosen was that of the Duchess
of Fife. She took the Earl, as he then
was to a drawer and showed him its
contents. There he saw number OF
trifles he had given her at different
times, including sprigs Of several kinds
of flowers, now dead, he picked for her
at different times. He was much i'm
pressed at the sight, nor did it require
words on her part to make her mean

RESULTS THAT REMAIN
Are Appreciated by Union City
People.

Thousands who suffer from backache
and kidney complaint have tried one
remedy after another, finding only tenn
porary benefit. This is discouraging,
but there is one special kidney medicine
that cures permanently and there is
plenty of proof right here in Union City.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was last
ing.
Mrs. J. A. Prieto, 424 Washington
ave-, Union City, Tenn, says: | have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and my ex-
perience with them has taught me that
they act up to the claims made for
them. The condition of my kidneys
when / commenced using this remedy
was very bad, the secretions being I'M
natural in appearance and otherwise
disordered. | found relief at once, and
all the distressing symptoms of my
trouble gradually passed away until
was cured" (From a statement given
in 1909
NO KIDNEY TROUBLE SINCE.
On May II, 1907, Mrs. Prieto con
firmed the above statement as follows:
Il have had no return of kidney trouble
since 1908 and I gradually endorse

The many friends of Judge Lawson in
this city and all over the county hearth
w rejoice with him in his recent nomi-
nation by the county Democracy to
serve another term as County Judge.
Notwithstanding the view of others it
was from the beginning foregone con-
clusion that Judge Lawson could not be
defeated for that Office. We know that
his opponents were men OF the highest
character, but the people admire Judge
Lawson probably as no other man in
the county, and we doubt if there is a
single man in the county, not excepting
ANYBODY, who could lay down his work
and divide the vote with him. This
is our opinion, of course. Judge Law
son is not only popular with the people,
but he has made a good officer, and his
is one of the most popular Endorsements
ever known in this county. His vote in
the first race was equal to nearly half
the entire vote cast. He had several
onponents then. At this election he
received more votes and to spare than
both his opponents. His nomination
was practically unanimous, and no cleo
tion has given more general satisfaction
than that of Judge Lawson.

1t must be remembered that the late
ruling of the Postmaster-G General re-
quires us to collect subscriptions to The
Commercial within one year after the
subscription begins, else we must be
notified that the paper is wanted for an
other year. Practically, subscriptions
should be paid in advance, but this is
not always observed by subscribers and
patrons of county papers, This notice,
however, is for the purpose of asking
our delinquent subscribers to pay up or
notify us accordingly if they desire the
paper to continue. If the foregoing
rule is not observed we are compelled to
discontinue the paper. Please let us
hear from you at once.

The county election is over and the
returns may be seen in another column.
AS we said last week we take pleasure
in reporting the results, and feel that
we can announce without disparage-
ment to others who failed to win that
the county will have corps of officers
as good as the best. The nomination
of Judge Lawson, Mr.. Worley, Mr.,
Easterwood, Mr. Talley, Mr.. Golden
and Mr.. Chapel is highly acceptable to
the people. They are the Democratic
nominees, and that being equivalent to
election, there is no doubt the affairs OF
the county will still be in good hands

section or booth for each exhibit should
be arranged, and if there is not room
enough under the grandstand a tent
could be had at very little expense. OF
course we can not build halls now until
the finances are in better shape, but we
can have more agriculture with the
proper effort.
We need our county fair and we need
to take more interest in it, and the place
to start is at the weakest points. The
horse show and track events have been
built up. The Woman's Department is
the best in West Tennessee. We need
to work up fine agricultural exhibit,
then poultry department, and then
again the hogs, the cattle and sheep
shows.
We have no public enterprise which
we can less afford to do without than
our fair, and if everyone will take the
proper interest there is no reason at all
why it should not be the best in every
department and in every particular to
be seen outside of the State fair.
Give us a good county fair with all
the departments complete and good
band of music to keep the visitors
thoroughly entertained and we will
guarantee the attendance. Have one
complete fair and the next one will be
success with comparatively little eff
fort.

Don't Forget the Music.

The Union City Concert Band COM
pleted an engagement with the fair at
Jackson last week, and the officers Of
that association complimented the band
on the work they did. Coming from
the Jackson people, who are accustomed
to professional band music in their sum-
mer parks, it is indeed compliment
The officers of the association at jack
son favored the patrons with a horse
show, and special music being arranged
for that attraction the band played it
without reshearsal, which the manager
of the show stated had not been done
in his circuit. This is one of Union
City's splendid organizations, adding
immensely each summer to the pleas
ure of our citizens with their park con-
certs. The fact that there is some dis
position now to disband and retire from
music prompts us to mention these
facts and to insist that neither the citi-
zens nor the band can afford it. We
would like to hear from others in re-
gard to this matter. Even if there is
no rehearsing this winter the band
should not abandon the idea of playing
altogether. Instead of disbanding there
should be large organization next sum-
mer of good musicians. Our friends,
Mr.. Cavendar, of Fulton, and Mr.. Hun
ziker and his sons, of Hickman, would
take pleasure in helping us out as usual,
we believe. By all means let the band
be maintained, and next fall when the
fair is held, let the band be made a
feature of the fair with bandstand be-
tween the grandstands SO that everyone
can hear the music There ought to be
a band Of thirty musicians, good musl-
clans, during the fair, as a special
drawing card and also good soprano
voice, if it can be had. A good band
of music as a special feature at the fair
would draw more people to the far
than all the flying machines and ar
domes you can stack up The music
first every time, if it is good. The
Maury County Fair Association en-
ployed the celebrated Kopp's Band OF
thirty-hve musicians, probably at a cost
of 81, 500 or So, 900. OF course that as
ISOLATION has money and can afford to
venture, but it paid with increased at
tendance. If our band could be in
creased temporarily during the fair to
thirty good musicians the cost would
not be more probably than fourth the
expense of Kopp's band and the music
might be practically the same. Then
get a good soprano voice, and let us
have some good music at the fair. Try
that and see what the attendance will be,

Agricultural Exhibits

Everybody remembers the agricul-
tural exhibit at the Worlds Fair in St..
Louis in 1904 Who is it that visited
the greatest of all fairs that doesn t re-
member it. We guarantee that every
man, woman and child who ventured
away from the Pike saw the agricultural
exhibit if they saw nothing else in the
main buildings or halls at the fair.
Everybody saw the Pike, of course.
Some may not even yet acknowledge it,
but two to one, if the proof could be
had, they were On the Pike.
But blow the Pikei What we intend
to mention is the fact that of all that
aggregation of the worlds finest pro-
ducts on the inhabitable globe the one
important feature, standing out promi-
nently and distinct among the depart
ments of science, art, skill, ingenuity,
wonder, amazement and beauty, the
hall of agriculture interested the masses
who visited the Worlds Fair as nothing
else did
Then why is it that those of us who
want to build up a good county fair do
not give more attention to agriculture,
Obion County is one of the richest agri-
cultural sections in the world, second to
none in our own State, and yet so far
we have not been able to exhibit but a
handful Of products at our county fair,
and these with no effort at display at all
except in one or two instances at the
meeting this fall. We see hundreds of
wagons loaded with the finest corn,
wheat, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage,
apples and fruits of various kinds COM
ing to this market during the crop
seasons. We have cotton and we have
hundreds of the finest varieties of
country produce that could be seen at
our fair if the proper interest were taken
in the matter. A county fair without
an agricultural exhibit is not what its
name implies, and an Obion County fair
without such an exhibit is like horse
show without horses.
We do not mean to reflect upon the
management or the superintendent.
They are gentlemen all eminently quail
fed and fitted for these places. But the
truth is they have not given it the prop
er attention.
Too many men minimize the impor-
lance of an agricultural exhibit at the
fair. Too many take it for granted
that the poultry, the cattle and hog
shows are not worth anything to the
Everybody agrees on the subject OF
horses show horses, pacing horses,
trotting horses everybody likes a good
horse, but a county fair with nothing
else but horses cannot succeed as a
county fair
We have just had good horse and
track show, but we need something more
we need agriculture, poultry, cattle,
hogs and sheep.
Just to the proportionate amount that
the agricultural exhibit added to the
Worlds Fair an adequate agricultural
exhibit will add to the county fair. Get
the farmers interested. See them per
sonally and solicit an exhibit. Not only
this, but inducements should be Offered
for as many as dozen displays. The
Wade Bros, Mr. Mcbride, MWalkel
and Mr.. Harris gave us start in this
line and it should be encouraged. A
