Liquor Ordinance.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen al
its regular session last Tuesday night
passed an ordinance, which appears in
another place in this paper, making
conclusive the violation of the prohibit
bitten or four-mile law by the holding
Of Government license to sell liquors.
The board will take effective measures
at once to enforce this ordinance. 1t is
a step in advance Of anything that has
been taken here so far, and will no
doubt further prohibit the sale of intox-
ieants in Union City. The law for the
extension of the corporate limits Of I'm
ion City also appears in this issue in or
der that citizens effected may inform
themselves and act accordingly.

Reelfoot arties and
Reelfoot Lore.


Several parties of Union City people
have enjoyed outings at Reelfoot the
past week. A dozen wagon loads OF
Woodland young folks and their tent
ing fixtures left Tuesday for the shady
banks of the big swamp" They were
chaperoned by Mr.. and Mrs. Tom FIack
of Woodland.
The anniversary Of the formation OF
the lake by the earthquake will occur
next year and renewed interest in its
romance and marvellous yarns may be
expected.
From deeds and surveys filed for years
back and now owned by the West Ten
nessee Land Co. and on exhibition in
the Lake County courthouse at Upton
vile, the truth is laid forth in black and
white that the so-called bottomIess
depths" of Reelfoot are very near the
top. 1t may jar romance to state that
the bottom of Blue Basin" can be
poked with fairly long fishing rod.
This particular spot was big pond on
the premises Of a man by the name Of
Doherty before the earthquake Of 1912.
These swamp lands, covered with wal
nut groves and divided by little creek
called Reelfoot from its curious shape,
had been granted with other lands to
two Revolutionary heroes for their dis
tinguished service in the wars. The
swamp and low lands now containing
Reelfoot passed through various hands
before the quake which damned up the
creek s ostlet to the Obion river, shook
water over the surrounding low lands
and made what is now known as the
Big Swamp, or Reelfoot Lake. "
Mr.. Harris, father Of the late Judge
Harris, bought up deeds and titles to
the submerged lands and sought to drain
it for agricultural purposes, but was en-
joined by the Supreme Court. He then
formed with adjacent owners what is
known as the West Tennessee Land Co.
A clear and interesting history extend
ing frotn the Revolutionary War can
be written from these old deeds and
owned by the land company.
