tive conditions. It would seem TO them
like leaving civilization But while We
are on this point, it would be worth
something to recall the fact that Mr..
Lancaster, in his speech here before the
County Court on the first Monday in
April, 1906, replied to question pro-
pounded by ESQ. 0giIvie in regard to
the cost Of the construction Of hard-sur-
faced roads, that the surface Of Obion
County soil would admit Of road build
ing equal to those in Madison County at
an average cost Of e, 800 per mile. Mr..
Lancaster stated that he would be will
ing to enter into a contract to build
Obion County roads at that price. But
now that clay roads are being built at
81 500 or 81 500 per mile it is possible
that we could get even better propo-
sition than the graveled roads at 81, 500.
In any case we do not believe that our
people should continue to sit around
indifferentIy and wait for something
TO turn up" There is nothing in the
fellow who asks permission to sit on the
fence and watch his girl as she passes
while some other fellow is engaging her
attention, and neither Union City nor
Obion County will ever accomplish any
thing with such indifference.
The richest county in the State, or
one of them, is Obion. All the natural
advantages we have. The best town Of
its size in the State is Union City. So
il has been for many years, but there
is an indifference to enterprise that is
discouraging = disheartening. Union
City should be to-day five times its size,
and il the proper spirit had been mani
tested beginning twenty years ago it
would have been so.
Why can't we charge the dormant
spirit with the power of enthusiasm and
start the work of general public enter
prise. Why can't we get together and
organize the Thirteenth Civil District
into a taxing district for the purpose Of
matchmaking our public roads. Why
can't we show to the world that we want
more good citizens by preparing the way
for them. We have two of the best
schools in the State. We have the best
water to be found in the Stale. We have
good churches, good citizens, the best
shopping center in this section of the
State. We have the best health This
has been shown by comparative state
ments. Then what is there lacking but
the will power to do something
By all means let's start this road inn

ueney to conform to the State plat
form. The masses Of Democrats have
as much right to instruct their Legisla-
tors as they do the delegates to the State
convention, and no sort of sophistry
can be instituted to prove that the mem-
bers Of the Legislature were reereant to
their trust.
It is also matter Of record that a
majority Of Democrats in the Legisla-
ture did vote for Statewide Prohibition,
Notwithstanding the oft-repeated asser-
ton that the Democrats voting for the
bill were in the minority. The vote was

Taxing Districts for Hard Roads.

The suggestion made by r. F. Tis.
dale at the last meeting OF the CONNER
cial Club that the Thirteenth Civil Dis
trict of Obion County, including Union
City, form taxing district for the pur-
pose of macadamized or hard-road con
struction, is, we believe, the most prac-
teal way to get the hard roads move
ment started in Obion County. The
citizens OF the county, those who would
be glad to encourage and support hard
road building, find little to stimulate
them in the hope that Obion County
would take up the matter. In the first
place, the County Court, in the event
the people should ever be inclined to
favor bond issue or some other plan
OF financing a system Of road building,
would have hard time agreeing on
plans. There would be rivalry be-
tween the larger towns as to which
should first enjoy the benefits of the
hard roads.
Therefore when it was suggested at
the meeting OF the Commercial Club
few nights ago that the Legislature had
empowered the organization of taxing
districts for the purpose OF public inn
provements the idea seemed to strike
everyone as the only feasible and prac-
teal one that had yet been advanced.
We understand that the Legislature in
making provisions for the organization
OF taxing districts did so not only to fur
Their the forming Of drainage districts
but to make possible the formation Of
taxing districts for other public inn
provements, This being so, there is
nothing in the way OF the Thirteenth nor
any other district taking up the matter
Of road building Independently.
In view Of these facts il was agreed
that the subject should be aired and dis Il
elissed at some length, and since the
meeting referred to friends have come q
g us and asked that we try and wake v
ap the latent sentiment into an active b
'anvass Of project. 81

The man who spoke to the mutual
friend OF his unhappiness was unit
ed to a wife OF the same vegetable
state Of development, only with her
1t was not matter of propriety, but
just lack of temperament, which
caused the trouble.
She was an excellent woman, a
careful manager, good housekeep-
err and loyal wife. But she was as
Unconditional and phlegmatic as a
cabbage or turnip growing in the
field.
She had no comprehension of a
nature which craved demonstrative
affection, no understanding OF the
loneliness of heart which gave love
in full measure and which longed for
some expression, some word. some
look. some act which was not asked
but which came spontaneously of its
own accord.
She appreciated her husband: she
proved It by her good, everyday vir-
tues. But the man wanted to be
loved. He wanted to have his wife's
heart sometimes run away with her
everyday virtues and to send her in
a rush OF tenderness to his arms, to
have her say, unquestioned, those
delightful old words which make the
music OF the spheres.
But this good woman. like many
other good men and women, was let
ting the best side of the heart of her
lifemate starye for lack OF little
spontaneous sentiment, little real
romance brought into the home
circle.
Compared with the great tragedies
which mar many lives. the troubles
OF these two people are very trivial.
Cruelty, disloyalty, drunkenness
drugs, III tempers are the crosses
which many wives and husbands
have to bear up earth's Calvary.

three kingdoms--the mineral, the

awakened by human consciousness.
There are men who are mere
chunks of undeveloped ore, men and

other or many another incarnation
before they show the divine gold
back OF the dull earthly substance.
There are others who seem to be
only in the vegetable state and many
who have paused at the animal stage
OF development. All human beings
are unawakened gods, but many Of
them do not know 1t yet.
A woman who is highly and SEN
sitively developed in the domain Of
/, the emotions and a man equally de-
veloped happened to be talking to a

suffering from the same trouble, and
both were mated, or, rather, married,
