A Home CITY.

There has been great change in
public sentiment regarding Union City.
Years ago, not many, our population
did not increase TO any considerable ex-
tent and there was not much to inspire
hope for the future. Union City did
not attract the outside world as a desir-
able place to reside. We were not
willing to admit the facts until the
transformation came and the tide Of
popular sentiment turned our way.
The erstwhie unkind criticism has COM
pletely vanished and the most flattering
comment has taken its place. The fact
is that Union City has at last establish
ed reputation as a home city. It is
being settled all the while with the fin-
est people in the world. The move
ment began few years ago, and co.
day the remark can be heard on every
side that Union City is the coming
home city Of this part Of the State, the
mecca Of many Kentuckians, and the
best town for the homeseeker and
builder.
The physical appearance of the city
has been wonderfully changed New
homes have taken the place Of old ones,
and new residences are springing up
everywhere. a complete new system
OF sanitary sewerage has been laid, and
the Superintendent informs that already
one hundred and forty homes have
been connected. Union City, in addi-
ton to this, has one Of the best sanitary
carriage systems 10 the world. The same
system has just recently been adopted
at jackson. We have the purest and
hest drinking water to be found in any
city. In thirty years the health rate
has undergone the most remarkable
Of all the changes. Union City is to-day
not only one Of the best but one Of the
healthiest locations Ia the South OIL
all the little cities we have a minimum
death rate. The statistics are proof Of
the fact. We have the best schools
and churches, as good as can be found
In the South We are building two
handsome new churches, and new
primary school will soon be located on
the west side 81 town.
But the capstone Of all our progress
win take place next year when We in-
augurate 4 campaign Of concrete walk
constructiof The city will issue bonds
sufficient ID build complete system of |
walks al over the city together with
curling and gutter Mr.. jerks. one Of
ahe most competent civil engineers ii
tho south, has established the lines, and /
The walks win BE- laid ID uniform grades,
widths and material The system win
be complete and hrst-class in every re-
spect. The streets will DO improved ia / /
connection With walk construction, and /
tho whole will begin IS soon as an en-
abling act can Be secured and The bonds

Finis Garrett

Hon. FINS Garrett, Congressman
from the Ninth district, was in the
city Wednesday and Thursday and
while here called TO see us and author
lied his announcement in the paper as
candidate for reelection. Owing to
the fact that our columns we're oyertaxed
at the time we received this authority,
the News does not attempt to deal ed
itorially with the merits Of so princely
gentleman, so brilliant and useful a
statesman as is Mr.. Garrett in this issue,
but will have more TO say Of him later.
Incident to his announcement, we de-
sire, however, to call attention to an
article we reproduce this week, from
the Nashville Banner by Washington
correspondent, which will give the
readers an idea Of the high estimate
that is placed upon Mr. Garrett in the
capital city. We hope that all our
readers will read this article. Not only
is it merited tribute to the worth of
born statesman, but it should be
pleasing to the constituency which gave
the statesman recognition and made i'll
possible for him to win such plaudits
as seryent of the people. Ripley

On the front page OF this issue will be
found an article on FINS ]. Garrett,
Congressman for the Ninth Congress
sional District, and the strong impelIing
feature Of this article Is the hold the
Hon. Mr. Garrett has upon his fellow
Congressman, Democrats and Republic
cans alike.
When comparatively young man
like Mr.. Garrett can claim and hold the
attention Of the Legislators OF this
country, there must be some reason,
some attractive, magnetic power to COM
pell this attention. And when you meet
Mr.. Garrett, and learn to know and
understand him, the reason is plain
FINS ]. Garrett is all that a states
man should be. Simple and unaffected
in his manner and department, courte-
Gus in bis treatment Of everyone,
gentlemanly in every instinct, and, pos
sessing keen, logical, farseeing mind,
it is no wonder he commands national
recognition. Fearless in upholding
what he believes to be right, aud just as
fearless In denouncing that which he
believes to be wrong, he has made his
brother Congressman sit up and take
notice.
Being placed as he is, upon some Of
the most important committees in the
House, his luminous mind and ability
to grasp with contending problemu has
had wonderful influence over his associ-
ates, and the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict should feel proud OF this noble son
who ranks so high among the great
men Of our nation.
We do not for an instant believe that
this district will fail to again nominate
Mr.. Garrett at the coming primary, but
his majority should be SO strong as to
pass beyond the shadow 81 doubt any
thing that might reflect upon our APP
probation Of such a representative
