The Bonnie Pace.

A very extraordinary event in Union
City will be the meeting OF the Bonnie
clans on the race track here at the fair
grounds Tuesday, Nov. 2S, when. at /
O'Clock p. m. sharp at the sound OF the
bell, four OF Bonnie's sons measure
speed for supremacy as PAGERS. The
four contestants already advertised are
Lloyd j., Bonnie Boy, Nightrider and
Gordon Boy, who have succeeded in
many OF the seasons best fair events,
and they now come home to try their
metal against each other. The sire Of
these horses, Bonnie, owned by Mr..
Lon Wright at Rives, will be shown
here during the day and many OF the
colts will be here on exhibition. It will
be great day for horsemen and lovers
OF horse flesh and crowds of visitors.
The president and directors OF the fair
association have guaranteed straight
race, race in which each horse is en-
tered to win, contest of speed and not
OF speculation or iockeying. The race
will be the event OF the season IN the
West Tennessee Fair Circuit and there
fore Of special interest to all interested
in these fairs. The business men and
merchants of Union City have agreed
to close for the race, and it is confidently
expected that Union City will entertain

ment on another page.

A Good Suggestion.

The Fulton News speaks of the neeC
of hospital and sanitarium in Fulton
and that paper is making to its people
a splendid suggestion. Union City also
needs sanitarium or city hospital, and
should by all means have such an insti-
tuition. Fortunately we have good san
itation and good water and have been
able for many years to check the prog
ress of catagion and infection. Still
there were numbers of cases which might
have been prevented with the use of a
hospital and the isolation and proper
care of patients from whose surround
ings disease germs found their way to
others.
The maintenance of such an institu-
ton as city or city and county hospital
should not be very great, and it might
be established and conducted properly
with eboth the support of city and
county jointly, thus providing way
Of solution to numbers of problems with
which the city and county are often con-
fronted. A hospital for those who are
unfortunate and yet not altogether indi-
gent, SO much so that they need be
taken to the county farm, would be
of incalculable benefit. Union City is
growing aud this is a public demand
which must be met sooner or later, and
who knows but it might save the county
and city money as well as lives.

THE VERGE OF PANIC.
STOCK GAMBLERS HAVE EXCIT.
ING DAY.
Wall Street Crazed by Rumors of
Dissolution OF Steel Trust an.I
Market Overwhelmed With Selling
Orders-Ncarest Approach to Real
Panic Since Northern Pacific Cor.
ner Ten Years Ago.

New York, Sept. 22.-The stock
market was overwhelmed today b.,
wild outburst of selling, which for
a time resulted in decentralization
and swift depreciation in market val
ues. Alarm at the reports Of ap-
preaching dissolution Of the United
States Steel Corporation resulted in
an enormous volume of selling by
holders Of the corporations stock in
all parts Of the country and in Eu-
rope. The defeat of reciprocity in
the Canadian election contributed to
the unsettlement Of the market.
Not since the panic which grew
out OF the Northern Pacific Corner
ten years ago has such a convulsiOn
in the stock market occurred. Wall
street was in utter confusion. or
cials of the Steel Corporation main
tanned their silence and the situation
remained virtually unchanged.
The only fact which stood out
from the confused rumors and opin-
ions was a definite sta ement from
Attorney General Wickersham that
no arrangements for the dissolution
Of the corporation had been made,
and that no such action had been
proposed to the department of JUS
tice. This nut an end to the widely
circulated reports that the corpora
ton had proposed a plan Of dissolu-
ton to the department Of justice,
with the idea Of averting a dissolu-
tion suit. Persons in close touch
with the situation said that the cor
poration's officials had formed no
definite procedure.
At the conclusion Of a day of
stress and turmoil, Wall street was
completely in the dark as at its be-
ginning. The scene on the floor of
the stock exchange during the height
of the excitement was almost unpre-
cedented.
