the progress which has been made. Musi-
cal critics who witnessed the first re-
hearsal say that the result of the train
ing in the Individual schools is wonder
full and that the children sing in concert

is due to the personal element which en-
tiers into the singing, as each boy and girl

On Saturday, October %, the Chris
tan Brothers College team will come to
Union City for a game with the Union
City Training School eleven. This be-
ing the first game of the purple and
white on the local field the football fans
are anxious to see what Coach Ayde-
Lofts machine is composed of.
Captain Wilson is putting his team
through a strenuous weeks practice and
is confident of victory. This is proba-
bly, the only game that will be played
onNthe local gridiron, and large crowd
is expected to attend.
All the team are anxious to show the
people of Union City what they can de-
liver in the football line.
Hitherto Union City has not sup
ported her team as most towns do. But
we hope on Saturday such crowd Of
fans will turn out TO cheer the purple
and white team on to victory that has
aever beenseen at football game in
Union City before.

u. c. T. S. Outclassed.

The Union City Training School foot
ball squad journeyed to Memphis Sat
urday October Is, and were defeated by
the strong Memphis High School team.
Although outweighed about ten pounds
to man Capt Wilson's team fought
valiantly from start to finish but when
the smoke OF the battle had rolled away
the Memphis High School team had 36
points to their favor TO the purple and
whites goose egg
The game was contest of the brute
strength of the green and gold against
the small but fast team Of the purple
and white. On the defensive the Train
ing School put up the game Of its life,
often downing the green and gold giants
for loss, but never succeeded in get
ting near enough the goal to drop for
three points.
Honeycutt, at full, played his usual
good game and gaining through the NJ.
II S. line when all the rest had failed.
With another years experience he will
star on some university team.
Key on half and Whitson at end
played brilliant ball. The find of the
season is Left Guard Tate, six footer,
who tears up the enemy's line like
tornado. Little Erwin, at tackle, played
star game, holding like a brick wall
against his 200-pound adversary.
Protho and McSpradlin starred on the
NJ H. s. team. Mcintyre, the lengthy
tackle Of 200 pounds, was the big gun
OF the green and gold squad He time
and again went through Coach Ayde-
lofts line for gain.
Taking the game as whole, the Y.
G. T. S. was out OF her class.
The U. G. T. S. lineup was as follows
Tanner, center; Tate, left guard; Chism,
right guard; Cobb, left tackle; Erwin,

New Railroad for Hickman.

In 1855 contract was let for the
building OF railroad into Hickman
the old Hickman-Obion Railroad, since
absorbed by the n, G. & st. l..
In all these years another railroad has
never been contracted until this week
although a score or more have been al
most ready to let their contracts.
We now have the second one con
tracted G. T. Bondurant, of this city,
and w l.. Motley, of Memphis, have
been awarded the contract to clear the
right-of-way and do the grading for the
last ten miles of the Chicago, Memphis
& Gulf Railroad Company's new road
from Tiptonville, Tenn, to Hickman.
The contract specifies that this work
must be completed OH or before Jan. /,
1911-or within the next two and one
nalf months. This is very limited
time, it would seem, but Mr.. Bondu-
rant says he will deliver the goods right
on the dot They already have big
force of men at work clearing the
ground, and grading will start this or
the first Of next week.
As stated in former article in this
paper, the dirt work has been completed
from Tiptonville up to the Fulton Coun
ty line. This leaves about ten or eleven
miles to finish, or from the county line
to West Hickman. The road will tap
the N, G. & st. L. road about where
the oil mill stood. All of the right-of-
way, with the exception OF two pieces,
has been secured. Condemnation pro-
ceedings have been instituted to get
through these places, and will not cause
any delay in the work.
Col. S. L. Dodds, after having sold
some of his bottom property, gener-
ously gave the right-of-way through
the remainder OF his fine bottom farm
rather than be any hindrance to a good
thing for Hickman. S. L. will always
be found on the progressive side at any
price when it comes to a showdown.
Between the Fulton County line and
Hickman big gang is employed in lay
ing the ties and steel, and will be ready
for this end ere our contractors finish
their work
1t is our understanding that the new
road will use, by mutual agreement,
the N, C. & st. j.. yard, terminal and
tracks here until they can make ar
for suitable location for
their depots, etc. This is done for the
reason that the new road will be built

Negroes on Rampage.

Hickman, KY, Oct. H. Saturday
night the negroes in the lower bottoms,
west of Hickman, were evidently on
the warpath. Near Madrid Bend, Logan
Wilson shot and almost instantly killed
Henry Roar. The affair arose over a
game OF craps. Wilson succeeded in
escaping. On Val Carpenters lower
farm two negroes engaged in quarrel
over a negro woman, which resulted in
two negroes getting shot The negro
doing the shooting was Jim Boyd, and
his victims were Lee Williams and Sid
Oliver. Williams received a load of
shot in the right shoulder and mly lose
his arm, ii not his life. Oliver was only
slightly wounded Boyd also succeeded
in making his escape.
