Bought Home.

DR.. B. F. Loring, who located in I'm
ion City recently, last week bargained
for the property, including lot and resi-
dence northeast of the courthouse, pur-
chasing from DIR. Turner and w. G..
Reynolds. DIR. Loring informs us that
he intends to make it much more at
tractive with lawn turf and concrete
pavements, laid out in nice walks and
grass plots. He will also improve the
residence to considerable extent, max
ing it an additional attraction to that
portion Of the city, and the residence
will be occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Lor-
ing as home and Office. The i'm
provement of this property should move
the County Court to take steps to re-
move the ugly shanty on the northeast
corner of the courtyard used as coal
house. The shanty is nearly down any
way, and it is no protection to those
who want to help themselves with coal.
The court should provide other means
to house its coal, where it will be safe
from thieves, and thus add to the APP
pearance of the county property.

Our Merchants.

The merchants of Union City are now
in the flush of spring openings. The
reputation of our merchants in keeping
well afore in styles and first in values
and variety reaches far away and be-
yond the limits and confines OF our own
and adjoining counties. The sagacity
of the dry goods merchant initiated this
achievement, and then followed cloth
ing and shoe dealers. In all of these
lines can be found some OF the first and
best productions and creations of the
four quarters in Union City, and the
public is never slow to appreciate these
things. Union City shoppers come from
various towns and localities all over
West Tennessee and West Kentucky.
This is a shopping center known and
everywhere, even by mer-
chants at other points. This spring
brings us still greater achievements and
Everything is shown that
can invent and skill devise.
Pains, talent and expense are neither
spared in accomplishing these results,
and the shop windows, the shelves and
,he cases OF our salesrooms are everlast-
ng proofs of these facts, never more in
evidence than at the present season.

The dust 10 the streets Sunday re-
minds us that it will be mighty dusty
unless we have some sprinkling done
or get some rain soon. In case of dust
it would be good idea to sprinkle a
little before Easter Sunday so as to give
the Easter skirts and bonnets fair
chance to be seen in all their primitive
brightness.

Two $500 purses are to be offered at
the meeting OF the fall fair az Union

fair mustn't get the idea, however, that
these purses will cost the association
anything. The purses are made up en-
tirely of entry fees, and the cost to the
West Tennessee Fair Association is not
a penny. This will be great induce
ment to our fair, and it will bring some
very fine horses here.

You Are Guilty.

The Commercial Club came together
again last Tuesday night. Quite a mum
Der Of citizens were present. but it wa:
a lamentable fact that not a single dry
goods merchant, only one grocery mer.
chant and two clothing and shoe mer-
chants were present. Mr.. Forester re.
ported membership Of 45. There
should be 200 If the spirit Of boost
and enterprise is to take hold of Union
City there must be a different feeling
from that which now exists. Mr.. Car
ter, in short talk, spoke of our little
neighbor-Riyes-how she was boost
ing. Mention was made of Dyersburg
and other places-how they were out
stripping us, and how this is due in part
to the enterprise OF the citizens.
Obion County has all the natural adj
yantages that nature can lavish. Union
City is right in the heart Of this rich
country with water and health as good
as any town on earth. The question of
health may be disputed, but when a
man with the veracity makes the state
ment it cannot be doubted. The state
ment will bear repetition. Rev. J. L.
Hudgins made the statement that he
had been pastor of churches in NUM-
Der Of the good towns of Indiana and in
one or two in Illinois. He had kept an
accurate and complete record OF the sick
visits he had made in everyone of these
places; he has also record of visits
made to the sick since coming to Union
City, and comparison of the state
ments shows forty per cent less sickness
in Union City than in either of the other
places named.
Who can beat this Why can we not
have united effort Why is that pro-
men never take an interest in
our public affairs. Many will say We
wonder what they will do - Who are
they? If you are not citizen, who are
you. Why can't you come to the Com
mercial Club and help.
One question of great interest was
touched upon and that was the project
Of securing an arm of the l. c. railroad
rom Gibbs. The railroad officials are
,aking an interest in this matter, and
when that is the case it means some
hing. An arm of the /. G. means ad-
litional shipping advantages and ship
Ding facilities mean more industry and
more citizens. The Dyersburg railroad
proposition offers no inducements to
Union City. Otherwise there was very
title before the club. But we hope that
he meeting which takes place on Tues
lay night, March %, will be attended
" every business and professional man
n Union City, and every citizen, mat
ers not whether he is proprietor,
alesman, mechanic or laborer. You
re needed il you live in Union City.
70 come on and help boost.

Sales Day in Number Seven,

W. L. Bryan, of Number Seven, who
was in the city last Monday. informs us
that the sale conducted by Bryan & Par
IRISH at Mr.. Bryan's farm on the Sd
inst was attended by crowd of prob
ably 1880 people, and the event, which
these gentlemen have been holding an
nually, has become very popular. The
sales amounted to nearly $4,000, prin-
cipally mules, which have been bought
from time to time. The ladies of the
churches served dinner, and it was a
gathering of the good people from vari-
Gus localities.
The crowd was more than double in
to any former sale ever held
in that or any other portion of the

that it will be permanent institution
and looked forward to with great inter
