FINISHED ACTORS
 IN "CAMEO KIRBY"

An artistic performance in which by at the Elks Theater last night drew one of the most fashionable audi enceS of the season. Dustin Far mum, in the leading role, ought to have induced every lover of dramatic pro- duct!Ons to attend. It was show we'll worth the price and time it takes to see a dozen others of it's kind and one that makes even the most prejud- iced reformer love gambler, for such in Cameo Kirby and honorable, gen. teel man of a bad profession. The story deals with life in the thrties when Southern blue blood re'gned and gambling on the Mississippi was the rage.
 In the leading role MT. Farnum dis plays the fine talent that has made him famous He is handsome, grace full, brave and lovable. The other members of the cast share equal hon. ors with the star, especially w. H. St. James, as "Larkin Bunce,' and Miss More Shelby as Adele Randall The scenic equipment is magnificent, the old plantation scenes being true to life and impressive.
 Cameo Kirby (Farnum) fully ap- preciates his moral shortcomings as a gambler on the Mississippi in 1S32 and his sense of unworthiness finally prevailed in the most artistically logi- cal ending witnessed on the local stage in many day. Unjustly ac- cused of having caused the death G! an old Mississippi planter, who hat lost his all in gambling, when in fact he had only saved him from 5e'ns yictimized by really low gamblers, whc had no sense of honor, courageous h rashness, careless of his 'own safety in the face of impending death at lhf hands of merciles foes, he walks un' afraid through exciting ventures, wins the respect of those who had sougn NlS QedLu dlJcI uC h'AASN AAA -H~ fight the real william of the play. anf falls desperately in love with Adele Randall, the daughter of the planter whom he had been accused of despoll ing.

Halloween Entertainment.

One of the most delightful Hallo- zen entertainments given in some time was the one given to the Hal tom Bible Class, by the teacher, Mrs. Carl Illing, at her home on Walnut street Tuesday evening. The Hing home was elaborately decorated for this Halloween occasion. The house was darkened and a most ghost like appearance was had with ghosts, witches, etc. AS the guests entered they were greetd by a ghost who shook hands with an ice glove. The interior of the home was decorated with numerous black cats, Jack o'lan- terms, black and yellow crepe paper, etc. Every where the guests turned they were greeted by ghosts. These were Mrs. Pendergrass. Misses Moree Burks, Gertrude Dodds and Gertrude Pendergrass. Miss Gertrude Fender grass acting as fortune teller told the fortunes of the guests and much sur pEl6Cu WCIS CACy tO oCO AoV AAuNAA she knew about them and their af- fairs.

Great fun was had in bobbing for apples and in hunting for the dime, thimble and ring. Also in cutting the cake of flour to see who would have to go after the ring. Fortunes were told by the different colored candles, and by the three saucers and the guests bing blind folded to see which saucer they dip ped their fingers into. Many ghosts stories were told by the guests pres ent. Sheets of paper were given the guests with the weird Hallow'en on it and the guests were to see who could make the most words in giv- en time. Mss Aoree Burks made the most words. At a seasonable hour delightful refreshments were served. As the guests were sbade their host and hostess good night they rated the occasion one of the mos' delightful of their lives. Those wno enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Illing's hospi-

Good Roads to the Lake.

A mass meeting is called to meet al
the courthouse the first Monday in Jan
uarS at one O'Clock to organize and
take such steps as will bring about the
building Of this road Cor roads, to the
lake.
Every man in 0bion County ought to
take an interest in good roads whether
he lives in the country or city, and let's
come together and make determined
and united pull to do things and be-
gin on the most important road in the
county. The idea has been suggested
that we adopt the Iowa plan-to build
in one day-and that seems at least to
be practical and altogether possible.
Hardly a man in the county but what
will give one day, and many will give
liberally-some as high as $500 to
81, 900. Mr.. H. NJ. Golden will do the
surveying and others will furnish teams,
graders, serapers, hands, ETC., all to be
absolutely free.
Meet us on above date and help make
it memorable day in Obion County.

A Peaceful Christmas.

The people OF Union City have been
very fortunate indeed in the celebration
of Christmas tide. The merchants have
had an Immense trade, probably larger
volume of business comparatively than
they have enjoyed for years. In other
respects the season has been remark
able one. The jug trade, for instance,
has been as large as. usual, but the casual
ties and violations have been unusually
small In fact the streets of Union City
last Sunday eve were as quiet and de-
corous as an evening in balmy June or
brown October. In the afternoon the
streets were crowded with shoppers, with
no disturbance nor disquiet of any kind.
Those who came in to get their jugs and
bottles were as quiet and peaceable as
lambs and passed out in the same way.
Every little child without possibly
single exception blessed the name of
Santa Claus. The poor OF Union City
were also visited. A fund was raised,
and Santa Claus was asked to visit every
home without exception. As far as can
can be learned this work was a success.
A fund of $50 was contributed to the
children of those unable to provide for
them literally. This was distributed in
a direct and practical way all over town.
Some Of our good citizens took the mat
ter in charge What is more pleasant
still is the fact that not single citizen
solicited but who responded in the most
cheerful and enthusiastic manner The
result was that Santa Claus had acordial
and popular reception here, the best of
all the years that Old Kris Kringle has
upon us with his four-in-hand |
team Of RENDERS and fabulously loaded
toy and doll sleigh. 1t has been sea-
son to be remembered. Peace on
earth and good will toward men" has
been exempliRed altogether. There

A mass meeting Of the citizens O

day-the first Monday in January
O'Clock p. NJ. for the purpose of de.
yising some plan Of road building which
may be utilized in the construction Of
hard, smooth public highway from
Union City to Reelfoot Lake, road
which may be used at any time Of the
year with the heaviest traffic TO the best
advantage. Quite a humber Of our cit
liens are interested in this movement
and no doubt the citizens along the
borders Of the proposed improvement
will be personally and greatly interest
ed. Any good public highway, turn
pike or macadamized road is a world of
advantage to the section through which
It trayerses for miles, and any commu-
nifty which is enterprising enough to
construct such a highway is benefited
fourfold for its trouble and outlay. or
all the localities in the State which
needs perfected roadway none will be
in a greater measure benefited by such
road than the country leading to the
waters Of the famous hunting grounds
Of Reelfoot Lake, and none will be
more desired by greater number of
people. There are people living two
thousand miles away who would be
glad to hear of this improvement, and
no doubt there are hundreds of visitors
who would be glad to aid in the project
If properly approached
A road to Reelfoot Lake would not
only develop our county to a very large
extent, but it would open a hitherto
practically unknown pleasure resort to
hundreds and thousands Of visitors. An
interurban car line, of course, would be
a great advantage and great incentive
to thousands to visit the famous resort.
but hard road could be built more
readily and easily at very small per
cent Of the cost of an interurban road,
and at the same time it would answer
every purpose that is wanted. The
hard road would be much greater adj
vantage to the farmer in every way
while it afforded all the accommoda-
tons necessary for passenger traffic to
the lake. Itwould be a great benefit to
The automobiles, and tourist parties
would ask no better mode of transit to
,he lake than by way Of tourist auto.
BY every sort Of means come to the
courthouse next Monday and help to
BOOST the project Mr. Reynolds issues

spective loss into profit by canning
the fruit for sale. according to a bulle-
tin just issued by the Department of

The pamphlet deals with the equipment
necessary for farm cannery. 1t is
stated that the total cost is not large
but will vary with the size of the or
chard
There have been a number of cases
where the profits the first year paid for
the equipment
The bulletin says that statistics of the
peach canning industry are hard to OBJ
tain, owing to the fact that they vary
largely with the crop from year to year

II is suggested in the bulletin that
farmers who have these small canning
outfits can use them for other fruits

these home packed goods is usually a
