Thinks Well Of The Commercial

Editors Union City Commercial. =
Sirs: In Fridays paper of April s
was pleased to note what you say about
the reputation OF your paper.
In substance, The Commercial takes
considerable pleasure in the reputation
it has sustained in giving its readers a
newspaper unfettered by the demands
of special interests and untrammeled by
the besetting influences Of cliques or
demagogues.
/ am glad to state that The CONNER
cial has been in my family almost con-
tinually since its first issue, and at no
time, even during the many legal cases
that have been in our courts from time
to time, have | read an editorial that
any refined and polished gentleman
would not have laid it on the table of
his family's sacred altar. Both myself
and husband read it closely and am
glad to state that at all times we're we
willing for our children to read it, know
ing that by doing so they would grow
wiser and better-not wiseacre.

1t is the time OF the year to begin to
talk up our county fair. Everyone
should give it boost who possibly can.
The catalogs are now in the process Of
printing. They will include the same
extensive list of attractive premiums
heretofore offered by the West Tennes-
see Fair Association, with also liberal
list of special premiums. In addition
TO all these premiums, larger aggre-
gate than is offered by any other county
fair in the State, will be two speed-ring
events--a trot and a pace at $500 each
These purses do not cost the association
anything. They are paid in entry fees
by the owners OF horses entering. These
events viii be special features Of the
fair. Other interesting features are to
be added this year The horse, cattle
and mule shows are to be conducted on
a different plan this year. Instead Of
having TO go to the stalls to see them
visitors will have the opportunity Of
seeing them on exhibition in the show
ring. They will be brought out and
kept in the show ring during exhibition
hours. Other changes and improve
ments will be made to make the fair
more attractive. The Commercial Club
and the citizens, everyone, should talk
up the fair. In fact there should be
more talking done for Union City and
her enterprises The schools should
have attention, and every enterprise we
have should be the object Of our atten-
ton

Concrete Pavements.

A contractw was made and entered into
last week between 7. L. Bransford &
sons and the Corporation Of Union City,
whereby T L. Bransford & Sons were
awarded the contract for building con-
crete walks in Union City at III cents
per foot, in accordance with Govern
ment Specifications. said Branslord &
Sons signing a guarantee of the work
for three years.
The Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
viii let the contracts on a specific num-
Der Of walks to be built at one time,
taking first and in rotation the walks
needed most. and continuing the work
as rapidly as the finances will permit.
1t is the policy to adopt the concrete
system as near as possible, using lum-
Der for repair and piece work only.
The work on section Of walks. in
Guiding walk running along Bank
street TO Harrison, Will begin at once
or as soon as preparations for the work
can be made.
Thus it is to be taken for granted that
Union City has adopted a system Of con-
crete walks which will be constructed, a
large portion Of the work, during the
present year, aud so Union City is to
keep in the march Of progress now be-
ing made by many of the larger towns
in the State. Humboldt has concrete
walks and cutters, Martin has concrete
walks, and in both these places the inn
have elected the most favor
able comment. Union City was one Of
he first, if not the first, to construct
graded streets outside of Jackson or the
arge cities, and she goes a step further
n the building Of concrete walks.

A Good Decision.

After having had the matter Of ac-
cepting the editorship of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian at Nashville under
consideration for some weeks, Rev. j.
L. Hudgins has written the Board of
Publication that he cannot see his way
clear to do so, but that he will remain
in the pastorate in this city.
This announcement comes after ma
ture deliberation and from a man
whose sense Of honor and duty is high
or than an ambition prompted by indi-
vidual interests and temporal acclaim.
Rev. Hudgins is preacher, prepared
and consecrated for the life-work Of the
ministry. He is profoundly conscious
of the fact and irrevocably committed
to the sacred trust. The minister is
not only fitted by nature and inclina-
ton for the work, but he is student,
man OF power and magnetism, and
above all a man Of God It takes
mental discipline and moral courage
10 make this decision, and such an one
is our beloved pastor. The people here
and everyone who feels allegiance to
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church
will rejoice over this announcement.

The State primary has been called,
and so far there are no candidates for
Governor. Why is it that the Office
goes begging. Does nobody want it.
The State-widers seem to object to the
primary plan, but what's the matter
with the Administration people-what
do they object to. Perhaps they object
to the State-widers objections.
