The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1911-09-01

The fair will open next Wednesday
with better attendance and prospects
probably than ever in Union City. In
terest and attendance at the fair last year
was largely increased, and the fact that
much better inducements this year have
been offered leads us to safely predict a
still larger attendance and better fair
in every respect. Union City offers
more money to exhibitors than any
county fair in the State and probably as
much as any county fair in existence.
This being so we can look for some of
the best exhibits and much more inter
est than usual, and in view of these
things much larger attendance. Per-
sonally we take it that the present in
dications are for a record breaker, and
that the association will have the best
success of its, organization. Come and
join us, everybody; we guarantee good

Is the Soul Immortal.

All people have hopes and visions of
hereafter. Man may misuse his pow
ers of mind and soul and deceive him
self, but he is responsible for their use
only. Man certainly did not create
himself; he must have been created by
being greater than he-by an infinite
God. And to that God Creator he must
refer as the source and origin of all the
powers and capacities of his being.
Man has soul capacity for large and
divine hope Of second life and more
deified being; he will acknowledge no
absolute death, but yearns for immor-
tality, and believes he shall attain it.
The savage, pagan and saint, all alike,
have this hope and desire. The capacity
for them is Unborn in the race, is of
God, and doubling is mere negative act
and misuse of this faculty. Doubt is
blighted hope. And surely this power
or capacity was not given by the Creator
in vain, or to delude and deceive The
goodness, wisdom and power OF the
Almighty, which all his works declare,
are themselves the guarantee of the
souls integrity, the honesty of its mate
gifts and capacities, and, therefore, Of
the possibility of a glorious fulfillment
of all its lofty heavenward hopes and
desires. The Creator with all his majesty
is behind our dreams and visions of
far away Eden. rs not the human
soul, then, itself" asked Mr.. Beecher,

Aye, and God is also, since he is the
one that has given those faculties and
whereby the soul is conscious
and hopeful of immortality.
Every thing has correspondence with
its proper environment. By our ply

She had already blighted her own glory
and undermined her own power befor,
the fierce vandals struck her. Then i
mans existence and happiness, even il
this world, is dependent upon his re-
ligion-Upon his belief in and worship
of a supreme Being-he must have a
part that is not Of this earth, that is
supernatural, for this natural world
answers all natural wants and needs.
Butman cannot live on bread alone. He
must have spiritual sustenance from a
higher than material source. Were this
true, il man had no immortal spirit to
be nourished? No animal worships.
At this point our separation from the
lower creatures is absolute Religion is
the undying soul of man calling, across
the deeps of time, to the great Father
Soul, of whose attributes it partakes,
enthroned above the stars, in the deeps
OF eternity. To account for religion
apart from Immortality, apart from a
spiritual nature, is impossible; to at
tempt it is absurd.
Animals find complete satisfaction in
this world-the earth is for them and
they are for earth only. But it cannot
be so with man. He has caught glimpses
of something supernal and feels he can
attain it. He is overshadowed by the
awful unknown that holds him in a
powerful fascination by its anticipated
glory and majesty. The fend that
man harries is love of the best, sang
Emerson, and he knows it is not here,
but recognizes and feels the attraction
of the highest good in celestial realm.
Were man natural only, all his con-
knowledge, and pleasure
would be confined to the natural world.
spiritual could reach him. No
Bible, prophet, or Christ, could be
evolved from and by nature alone-she
can but repeat herself. But the eternal
and ineffable ideal forever tends to al
lure and draw man onward and upward, |
by divine law, which could only act
On and through his divine nature. He
IS reaching for something grander than |
he visible. This world is not capacious
enough for the reach and scope Of his
Intellect, and the powers Of his spirit.
He is so related to eternity, Heaven and
Deity, that they alone can meet his
whole need, and he is full of satisfac-
ion. The immaterial soul will acknowl-
.dge no material bounds, but annihi-
ates time and matter in its reach for
ternity and God. And only when man

Heaven, and the glory unspeakable Of

osIoNEER MAKEsHIFrs
town of Kansas City was SURVEYED
with a Grapevine.

When the town OF Kansas City
was first laid off in lots in 1899
by j. c. Mccoy he did the measur-
Ing with a grapevine a rod in leng-
tn. He used that because he had
no chain. There was not a chain
West of st. Louis that was fit for
surveying with. The grapevine, pill
able and light in weight, served the
purpose quite as we'll as a chain
would have done.
The pioneers of Kansas City and
vicinity had to use many makeshifts.
Tor they were far from civilization
and source of supplies for even
the common necessities of life.
There is woman in Kanses City
today who came to Westport in the
fifties, and later went with her hus-
band to Baptist Wea Mission near
Paola. Kans. She recalls many
OF the curious makeshifts of those
days which she personally used,
Among them was an ear of corn
which was used as a substitute for
a rolling pin. 1t was crude, but
effective.
she said, land it is a mastake to
suppose that we are entitled to any
sympathy because of our hardships.
Life stretched away before us. 1t
was like a party eternally camp
Ing out. We enjoyed it all"
This woman remembers that the
f1rst summer spent in Kansas it
was necessary to wait until the pra-
lrie hay crop was harvester before
filling' could be obtained for the
mattresses, and that they slept on
blankets. But they slept we'll in
those pioneer days.
She recalls also that when mice
infested their cabin, they had no
mouse trap, and it was As miles to
Westport. A simple substitute was
devised with the aid of thimble
placed under the rim of the saucer,
small end down, with bait attached,
and no mouse was the wiser.
A hopper filled with wood ashes,
the accumulation of months, was a
feature of every home. Water
poured into the hopper emerged at
the bottom very good grade of
lye. Later cambined with soap
grease, also the accumulation of
months, and the pioneer had his
supply of soft soap.
The most singular of the make
shifts of the pioneers" said Mrs. N.
M. Harris, of Rock Hill, Mo-, who
was born in Westport II years ago,
was the one-legged bedstead which
L have seen in the log cabins of the
very earliest settlers. A stout post
was let through an opening in the
puncheon floor about six or seven
fleet from the corner walls; holes
were made in the logs correspond
Ing to the height of the post; at
tached to the post were poles run
nlng each way. which were mortised
into the holes in the walls; Stats

Scientists and physicians have

Statistics from cities, large and
small, showing a steady yearly in

For more than fifty years Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey has been recog-

respiratory organs. Physicians who
stolidly conform to the ethics of the

The secret of the marvellous sue

in curing and preventing throat and

is the greatest strengthened and
health builder known to medicine,
and it not only checks the ravages OF
the disease itself, but replaces the
weakened, destroyed tissues, helps
the stomach to more perfectly digest

more, richer and purer blood may

governs the hearts action, so that
