Time Flies.
From fine PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

People who recall the war OF the re-
bellion as an event OF only a spell
back will become thoughtful as they real
ize that this year marks the semi-cen-
tennial Of the opening Of hostilities. Al
ready Montgomery, Ala, has celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary OF the meeting
there of the delegates from the seeding
gulf states, who inaugurated the Con-
federate government. Likewise it is a
half century since the firing on Fort
Sumter and the battle Of Bull Run, and
there are those alive who recollect these
events and would resent being called
elderly.

A Sweet Song.

The robins will be singing
And the breeze will wander nigh
And the bushes will be f1inging
Blossoms at US, by and by.
But the surest sign appearing
OF the springtime's glad return
Will arrive when we are hearing
OF the motion to adjourn.
Oh, finer than the carol
OF the song bird in the tree
When the world doffs the apparel
That is gray and sad to see,
And sweeter than the story
OF the south winds that return,
II the unassuming glory
OF that motion to adjourn.

The Unwilling.

The unwilling OF the monument erect
ed in behalf Of the Confederate soldiers
of Obion County will be held in Union
City next Wednesday. Oct. IS. The
occasion will be one Of unusual interest
to many Of our citizens. This monu-
ment was secured and erected out Of
respect to the memory and love for the
Confederate soldiers who enlisted in
Obion County and left their homes in
what they conceived to be a God-given
right and the protection Of Southern
hearthstones. These comrades, living
and dead, were among the famous Ten
nessee volunteers who fought in one of
the fiereest and most heroic struggles OF
all history. The departed heroes and
the survivors OF the memorable four
year conflict are therefore held in CRATE
full remembrance by the wives, the
daughters and the sweethearts Of the
Confederacy, and to cherish their mem
DRY and commemorate and perpetuate
their deeds Of valor the good ladies
have, through untiring, unyielding pur-
pose and unfinching patience and zeal
caused to be erected in Obion County
at the county seat in Union City tall
marble shaft, surmounted by a life-size
statue OF the Confederate soldier. The.
cost of this splendid work of art in
volved great burden and debt and thus.
it was that the unwilling was deferred
until such time as the larger part Of
of the funds had been supplied This
was the work that the ladies have under
taken and so far accomplished, and this
is to he the occasion for the celebration
of their work and the crowninE of their
success. Accompanying the ceremonies
will be addresses by eminent speakers,
led by that prince of Tennessee orators,
Senator Bob Taylor, through whose
efforts large part of this fund has been
secured, followed by DIR. VIM. Polk, of
New York City, son of Gen. Leonidas
Polk, Confederate chieftain, whose name !
one of the chapters Of the daughters of
the Confederacy bears, DR.. James /. |
Vance and Hon. FINS ]. Garrett.
Therefore we say that the event will |
be fraught with more than ordinary in
terest and should enlist the presence of
every person who can possibly be there,
and doubtless will cause the attendance
Of very large and intelligent assem-
Olage of Obion Countians and visitors
rom other sections. We bespeak for
he ladies every possible means that
will contribute to the success of the I'M
,eiling, and may it be an epoch in the
annals Of the county

What's the use to keep up an ever.
lasting twang-twang about harmony.
There seem to be no concessions to make.
Both the Regular" and the indie
pendent" still hold on like grim death.
Then why not, instead Of keeping the
sparks afame, let them die out. There S
nothing to be gained by harmony propo-
sitions and overtures, unless it is some
sort OF political advantage the politician
is seeking. Better let the whole thing
alone. Somebody will get stung Let
by-gones be dog-gones and the more the
better. The national campaign is COM
ing on anyway and new lines will be
drawn. State issues will be sidetracked
and probably shelyed altogether. The
onward rush OF the progressives will
sweep everything before them. Regu-
lars and Independents will forget that
they ever had difference. No harmony
thunder will be needed. When the big
show commences, and there will be a
big show right next year, there'll be no
time for side issues. Harmony will adj

ton of the matter.

The cemetery sexton, Mr.. Martin, re-
ports that he had two burials only in
September. Mr.. Martin claims that the
mortuary list in Union City is lower
than in any other town of the same size
in the State. By the way the sexton is
one of the most faithful and loyal en-
ployes the city ever had, and he is al
ways glad TO report the fact that the
death rate in Union City is remarkably
small and has been for many years.
