The citizens of Union 9th have one
of the best equipped laundry and dry
cleaning plants in the country, and it
stands in hand for our citizens to pat
ronize this institution. The day is not
far distant that we will have to depend
on the steam laundry for nearly all the
household laundry work. Union City
would have gladly given such a plant
as is now in our midst all the induce

give employment to as many hands as
this institution works. Mr.. Metcalfe

love or have more interest in than
Obion County and her people.

interested in your home town, and I
feel sure you will take an interest in
anything that means good to Union

ing what great thing it would be for
Union City to have street car service
and to build an interurban line to Full

this work and have given great deal
of thought to this proposition. 1 have
talked to several railroad builders and
they all say it would be paying line
to anyone that would take hold of it.
I would be glad to hear from you on
this subject, and to know if there is
any interest in this kind of work. If
you think it would do any good, I
would be glad to come to the fair and
meet few of your business men and
talk to them on this subject. Knowing

it would be the greatest thing that could
be done for Union City, and if there is
anything that can do or say to get this

PRESENT FOR ENGAGED GIRL
An Apron to Slip on When Bride Does
Housework Is Always Ac-
ceptable.

A useful and attractive gift for an
engaged girl is an apron that may
be slipped on when the bride does
housework, and wishes to keep pre-
sentable. Just this type OF apron Is
hard to buy, 80 is doubly acceptable.
Probably the most useful kind Is a
studio apron, such as is used by the
woman artist. Get a good pattern
with sleeves reaching to the wrists
and cut without too much fullness.
Choose a pink gingham of fine quality
or a clear black and white stripe,
which always washes well.
For the former trim the neck
and sleeves with two-inch insertion
of white embroidery, and fasten at
the back with white pearl buttons.
The black and white apron may be
trimmed with black bias bands, or
with white cotton bands embroidered
in cross-stitch design in black
A somewhat dressier apron, though
not so useful for protection, is made
like waitress apron, with straps
over the shoulders. A pretty effect
is had with ecru or pale pink percale,
the straps embroidered in a cross
stitch band that Is carried on each
side to the bottom of the apron. The
hem at bottom and sides is finished
with row of two-chain stftch-bands.
Use several tones of brown or red
merceriZed cotton on the ecru apron,
and white or black on the pink ore.
