an organism untitled for the trial of

her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain Of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of chill
dren, and indeed child birth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.

are now children because of the fact

observance is being adopted every where
with few exceptions The sentiment is
growing in favor Of Sunday closing
Many years ago, not so very many, the
dry goods and clothing men sold goods
on Sunday. This custom has been
almost universally discontinued. Other
Sunday business customs have been go
ing into disuse. In fact Sunday work
is gradually dying out everywhere. Now
comes the closing Of the carrier service,
and in time will follow still further re-
form all along the line In a Christian
nation like ours it is meet and proper
that this should be so. Otherwise it
little becomes us to proclaim to the
world that our principles are inspired by
the Great Ruler Of the Universe who
taught us that Six days shalt thou
work, and on the seventh rest from thy
labors.

Our Amusements.


There is an inclination on the part Of
some Of our citizens, and we believe it
good move. in favor Of the passage OF
an ordinance to declare a nuisance the
running Of street fairs and theatrical
tent shows within the corporate limits
of the town Of Union City. TO begin
with we are in sympathy with this move
ment, but have no criticism to make
against the persons conducting or en-
gaging in either of these forms Of enter
tainment Some of them are just as
worthy and creditahle as the companies
which come to the theatres, but it is
the conduct Of outsiders attracted around
these places which forms the basis OF
objection to these things. Last year
there were several shooting scrapes as
result Of these shows. There is always
more or less Bookkeeping going on in the
premises or somewhere else in order to
be ready for round at the tent, and
the results generally follow.
There are other reasons too which are
not without some value. First, we have
an opera house which, was built to af-
ford our people the advantages Of theat-
rical entertainment properly conducted.
The house is also used for school exhi-
billions free Of charge to the city and to
the citizens. It is used free to the old
soldiers, and furnishes place which
can be used for bureau attractions We
have motion picture house, known as
the Gem Theatre, where the highest
standards OF this form Of amusement can
be seen and which has been conducted
strictly upon a high plane, creditable to
the city and to the proprietors Now
the point is this, if the competition be-
tween the street shows and the home
houses continues our own enterprises
are Handicapped and one or the other
perhaps may be sold out. II the opera
house is sold and converted into store
room, livery barn, or something OF the
sort, then what would the schools do
for commencement, where nearly every
man, woman and child gathers once a
year to see the exercises in which they
are all personally interested Would it
not be a calamity to Union City not to
have such place for this purpose.
suppose that we substitute street fairs or
5heatricals. for our picture show, one Of
.he incest places Of the kind in any town
or city, what sort Of place would we

The Duke Of Manchester declares that
the income tax has been the curse OF
England. He says that if the system
is adopted in the United States New
York State will pay about one-seyenth
OF the tax. The Duke is evidently adj
dressing himself to the Albany Legisla-
ture. If the New York millionaires
have one-seventh Of the wealth why
should they be exempt. Should the
citizens Of Oklahoma with incomes OF
one million pay as much as the citizens
of Manhattan with incomes OF one bill

Something Doing.

Talking about the census, if Union
City had extended her lines TO take in
all the city proper the figures would
have reached the six thousand mark
There would be not foot Of truck or
farm land in this. There are num-
Der of improved streets outside the cor
poration thickly settled with homes ex-
tending blocks in length, paved, lighted
and furnished with water, as we'll inn
proved, or better, than many other por-
tions Of the city inside the corporation.
Some years ago an attempt was made to
extend the limits to include portions Of
the city as described This was fail
ure for some cause. A few weeks ago
the Legislature was again asked to ex-
tend the lines to include these limits,
and the bill would have passed but for
the fact that the independents left the
State and broke the quorum in the
House. In fact the bill had al
ready passed, but it contained an
error, and was amended and passed
the Senate as amended. Union City is
now growing perhaps as rapidly as any
town in West Tennessee. New homes
are springing up all over the city every
where Hardly day passes but some
one has let contract for new resi-
dence Of some kind. Business houses
are also being built and others contem-
plated. Besides the two new business
blocks reported last week another is in
contemplation. All these buildings will
have salesrooms and office quarters.
Before the close Of the year 1911 it is
estimated that the number Of contracts
already completed and those in course
of construction will exceed the last
years progress in that line by the phe-
pomenal percentage of 500 or FIVE to
one, and everybody thought we had a
boom on then This year we will also
have in construction two large public
buildings The Carnegie library grounds
were laid out this week and the con-
tractors will begin work Immediately.
Contract for the Government postoffice
building will be awarded in October or
November Mr. jerks will have draft
of the lot made and forwarded to the
Department in few dayss Handsome
new residences will be built by a num-
Der Of citizens and new corners, a num-
Der OF them, as we'll as cottages ranging
no less than an hundred or more.
This is an index to the present growth
of Union City, and if you doubt it, just
step in any day and watch the move
ment. Everywhere Improvements and
repairs are being made. There are evil
dences all over the city of the passing
Of the old temporary furniture factory
cottages and the substitution OF we'll
built and improved homes.
Come to Union City, if you are hunt
ing live town; come to-day, to-mor-
row; come this year, come next. Come
here for good home. Cheap water,
cheap lights, and we are assured by the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen the
cheapest taxes next year. The taxes
are low now. but the rate next year will
be as low as you will find in any city
