Train Service.

Through the untiring efforts of that
splendid and representative citizen OF
Troy, g. r. McDade, and others, the |.
G. Railroad Company has agreed to in
crease the passenger service between
Moffatt and Troy with a special train,
consisting Of an engine and two coaches
to connect with all the local and pas
senger service on the main line at Moi
fatt. The train will make four round
trips a day between Moffatt and Troy,
connecting with the Fulton accommoda-
ton going South early in the morning,
with the Memphis accommodation north
at noon, with passenger train south in
the middle OF the afternoon and with
the Memphis train north again between
seven and eight O'Clock. Troy has a
branch road which has been in use for
more than twenty years. 1t was first
built as the Troy and Tiptonville road,
and changed hands until acquired by the
l. G. company. The only passenger
service for some years has been a local
freight running from the main line in
and out of Troy once day. The
schedule was all right, but the train was
nearly always late and uncertain. The
road bed was bad and the service dis
agreeable and unpleasant. A short time
ago an effort was made to get motor
service from Troy to Moffatt, and the
matter was disposed of by the company
attaching a large, we'll seated caboose
to the local freight. This was also
unsatisfactory, and hence Mr.. Nc
Dade and others began to seek relief
in the courts for better service, which
resulted in the Inauguration passenger
train service as above stated The
company has also put a crew to work
ballasting the road bed between the
points named and is arranging to lay
heavy rails on the road.
This is one OF the greatest improve
ments that Troy has had in many day
The new service will take effect about
May IA. Troy will also get increased
express facilities and other advantages
will accompany the change. Passengers
can then leave Union City at O'Clock |
and go to Troy with direct connections,
returning the next day at noon with
close connections all the way,
We congratulate the citizens Of Troy
and that end OF the county on this new
change.

A Strong Charge.

A large crowd was in attendance al
the opening of the May term Of Circuit
Court last Monday. Judge Jones, Gen.
Caldwell, Clerk Golden and Sheriff
Easterwood were all in their places
The Judges charge to the grand jury,
Of which w. A. Mcneil, Of Rives, is
foreman, was one Of the strongest and
clearest ever delivered in this city. 1t
contained few words about all high
crimes and nisdemeanors and stood out
strong for the strict enforcement of all
laws.
The four-mile-law violators came in
for few special remarks and they were
especially strong and convincing. The
recent supreme court decisions we're re-
ferred to and the jurors were instructed
to return forthwith and without fear or
favor indictments against persons in
Obion County holding government Ii
cense for the sale Of liquor, beer, ale,
ETC., and informed the foreman how
and where to procure the names and
addresses OF such parties. Before the
end OF the week the list will doubtless
be before the jury. ]. M. Hickman,
The officer in charge, is giving the grand
Jury the best attention, and the prost
poets are flattering for few heavy fines
md Jail sentences to be handed out be-
ore the end OF the present term. u

The Synginge Schoole.

The Synginge Schoole at the opera
house last Friday night was greeted by
a packed house. Many were present to
hear Judge Lawson sing his solo and
others came to hear the old-time songs
rendered by number of good voices
The entire company appeared in peri
wigs and powder and the colonial cos
TUNES. They looked as il they had as
sembled to dance the minuet, but
nothing more serious was contemplated
than justification. /" This however,
was simply Virginia reel in which the
school found a pleasant diversion to
close with.
Miss Mary Lawson, as Dame Plunket,
opened the schoole, and when notinter-
rupted by someone throwing paper wads,
laughing, crying or talking, proceeded
with the practice OF the scale, do, ra,
me, pha, so, la, Sc, do. 1t would be
useless to give an account of the recta-
tons. Some exhibited real talent for
music and some did not. The rise
and fall of the scale" was clearly demon
strated by Moses Simpkins (Mr. Hehey)
indeed the fall was something remark
able. Betsy Martin miss Minnie Banks
dale) had voice that might become
popular in time. At present the tones
are somewhat foggy and irregular. The
exercises over, Squire Bellingham (Mr.
Embrey) appeared to give the finishing
touches. The Squire certainly had the
air Of wel-bred colonist. He knew
how to adjust his glasses and, if neces-
sary, to take snuff easily and gracefully.
He called on the class for a number of
songs, such airs as Nellie Gray" etc.
The chorus, the quartette, duet and solo
singing were all very fine. Patty Dali
rymple (Mrs. Steve Harris) sang well,
so did Mrs. Woosley, Miss Cloar, Mrs.
Hehey, Mrs. Embrey, Miss Vallie Field,
Mr.. Arm, Mr.. Ownby, Mr.. Woosley,
Mr.. Whitson and Mr.. Lovelace The
old airs were indeed very soulfully and
rendered, very interesting to
those who had not heard them for twenty
years. The song, Barbara Allen, by
Patience Styles Miss lima Nailling)
transported many of us back to the old
days. 1t was sweetly sung. One of the
most popular numbers of the evening
was the quartette by Miss Brownie Dick
son, Miss Sara Taylor, Emmett Whip
pie and Clarence Hunter. The tenor
singing by these boys was exceptionally
'emarkble. Miss Brownie and Miss
Sara always sing well. Julius Caesar
John Sanders) can shore play, but he
has a mean disposition.

UNUSUAL CASE OF DUAL Per SONALlTl

If there is such thing as du-
al personality in every man it is
shown in this case," said Justice
Grammar, in police court in Balti-
more, yesterday, celebrating what
he would do in the case of E, Mar
shall Johnson, technically charged
with begging on the street.
Johnson is States attorney for
Grant county, w. Va, and is also
counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. He is editor and owner
of the Grant County Press, which is
we'll rated in West Virginia. He is
thirty-fve years of age, of refined
appearance and dresses we l..
But Mr.. Johnson has a dual per-
sonality and admitted it before JUS
tire. The admission did not sur
prise Justice Grammar, for Johnson
had been before him three times on
similar charge and in each in
stance after furnishing proof of his
Identity had been released with a
reprimand and warning.
"Why do you beg on the streets
and why do you seem to lose your
real self" asked the Justice when
Johnson was brought before him.
Il don't know, replied the West
Virginian. cat times something
comes over me and l cannot resist
it. Then I 60 out on the street and
beg money from people. | came
here and registered at the Hotel
Caswell. | did not intend to beg

I am an officer of the law, a States
Attorney for my county, that court
convenes in two weeks at Peters,
burg, W. Va; the seat of Grant
county. The other self simply got
the best of me"
II am not going to let you go,
said the Justice, because this 9th
er self may get the. best of you
again. | am not going to send yol
to prison, either, but I will send fol
some of your friends and place you
IN their charge"

SMALLPOX In VIRGINIA

Richmond, Va, Jan. 19.-The
reports of communicable disease
received at the State Health De-
partment of the last week indicate
that smallpox has already begun its
annual visitation of the State. In
Alexandria, in Fauquier, in APP
oomattox, in Lee, in Wise, in
Northumberland, in Mecklenburg,
in Brunswick, the outbreaks are
reported, and the indications are
that this disease will soon appear
in other counties of the State.
Health officials of the State are
not surprised at these outbreaks
and will venture no predictions lis
to the probable extent of the dis
ease during the coming winter.
They declare that ample and re-
peated warnings have been given
the people and that every means
has been given the people to pro-
tect themselves by vaccination. As
long as the people decline to be
vaccinated, health officers dealare
they must accept the consequence
and must be prepared for much
more virulent form of small poX.

WORST is YET TO COME

While the present winter has in
many respects been unusually Sc
we're the worst of it is yet to come,
if any reliance is to be placed on the
forecast made by DR.. H. Haber-
NIGHT, a distinguished member OF
Perthe's great geographical estab.
Iishment at Gotha. For several
years Prof. Habernicht has endeav'
cred to make a forecast of the win
ter weather, largely from observa,
tons on the Gulf Stream and the
movements of the ice in the Arctic
and southwark
For this month and next he
promises severe winter weather.
From the uniform distribution Of
temperature in the Gulf Stream, 8
result of the scarcity of ice around
Newfoundland, and from the eX'
traordinary large masses Of drift ice
during the summer between North
Cape and Spitzbergen, heconcludes
that there we be unusually hare
and continuous cold weather both
in Europe and America.

GPPLES-AND APPLES

Apples! Missouri apples are all
right, because Missouri is in the
worlds best apple belt = the South
"a region in which the original APP
pie was produced. But for Wash
ington or Oregon, with their print
ed bills of sawdust, to talk about
apples, why, it is enough to make
Adam and Eve rise up and vow
that no such stuff would ever have
tempted them. 1t is almost as bad
for New England to take its So
called apple seriously. Virginia is,
of course, the real home of the APP
pie. 1t was an Albemarle pippin
that tempted Eve, and anybody
who once tastes genuine Abe
marie pippin will not only forgive
Eve for all the trouble she brought
upon the race, but will almost feel
that she was not very much, to
blame, considering the kind of ap-
pies offered to her-Baltimore Man

1st, That by his death we sus-
tain the loss of a brother, who was
faithful and true in all his relations
touching our brotherhood, and
that while we bow in humble sub
mission to the will of God, we will

room, but we will miss his influence
abroad, as Mason, and as. use

A Good Move.

II is a. good idea to have a clean
ditch at each side of the road before
winter. The other day farmer plow-
cd a good furrow out of each ditch
of the road alongside his farm, and he
pulled the dirt over the grade with a
road drag. 1t was neat thing to do,
The dirt put on the grade was not
enough to make mud. but enough to
open clear track for the water into
each ditch.
