An Old Theme.
disIoyaIty

Fall and winter are coming on and
will soon be time to discuss good road
with some show of getting the average
citizen interested. When the automo
bile owner has to house his machine
altogether for the winter the good roads
proposition will appeal to him. Wher
the corn gatherer sinks into the mire
he will listen to the story of good roads
When the cotton producer and tobacco
grower come to market over wretch
eddy kept, muddy road they will STOP
to hear the subject mentioned. When
the neighbors come to town for their
supplies, when the ladies come shop
ping and visiting in their buggies, when
the citizen is summoned to court, when
the young man and his best girl behind
the latest model buggy and finest blood
ed stopper get out in the mud, when we
visit our country friends, then we will
all wake up to the fact that we are fifty
years behind in our public road i'm
provements.
In Obion County we are still travel
ing over roads that are actually in the
same primitive condition that prevailed
thirty or forty years ago. They look
like the same roads. It is shame!
What's the use to look for suitable
criticism? A civilized people, people
who have the reputation of thrift and
Farmers, stockmen, lumber
men, teamsters and transfer men of all
kinds still driving and hauling over the
same kind of roads in Obion County that
they travelled over forty years ago. You
ask why Obion County has not increased
in population. That is the answer. 1t
is enough, isn't it. We have the best
county in the State and the best coun-
trv on earth. Have we? Somebody's

country, but the land has been cult
waited without proper restorative prop
critics until it is considerably exhausted
and the roads have never, absolutely
never, been improved, excepting few
including the Reynolds Brat
ION and the Troy Union City roads lead
ng out few miles from Union City.
When will the people of Obion County
wake up to the Importance of good
.oads? When will they begin to restore
he lands. In such a when the
population of the county will begin to
Increase at suitable ratio, and bust
less of all kinds will take on new life.

The Great Comedy Hit.

Seven Days" that Messrs. Wagon
halls & Kemper will present at Reynolds
Theatre Thursday night, Oct 81, is
an up-to-the-minute comedy dealing
with New York's smart set. 1t is class
all the way through. Fashionable folks
are quarantined in a house in which
policeman and burglar are also
trapped. There is one week of up
roarious fun that starts in the drawing
room of Riverside Drive house, de-
sends to the kitchen and goes up to
roof, and is laugh from start to finish.
The New York Evening Telegram said
in its review of this comedy:
Gales of laughter swept over the
Astor last night at the first performance
of Seven Days, and when the audience
left the theatre their faces we're shining
with smiles and their hearts were big
with gratitude to Mary Roberts Rine-
hart and Avery Hopwood who wrote
the sparkling comedy. See Seven Days
and laugh.
Players who appeared in the piece at
the Astor Theatre where it has run into
its second year will act it here, and the
production will be exactly the same as
on Broadway. Of all the theatrical an
nouneements of the season that of "Sev-
en- Days" will surely create the greatest
interest, for this is the leading comeey
hit of twenty years.

To a Young Rabbit.

Ooh nearly cutting one with mowerO
You are scared, poor little creature!
How your large and lustrous eyes
Open wide, stare round about you
In a kind of wild surprise.
Well you may be scared; the sharp blad
Did but barely miss your head
Had it dropped just one inch lower
You would now be lying dead.
You and / hold much in common
Children both of nature, we,
And the selfsame hand that fashioned
You did fashion me.
We alike protecting shelter
Need when wintry winds blow chill,
And the snow and sleet are falling
Over woodland, vale and hill
You will HE then to the thicket
Till the biting blasts retire;
1, within my humble cottage,
Shall sit by my cracking fire.
And We both do have&ur troubles
And our hours of peace and rest;
Dear to each is the blest passion
Of this life within the breast.
And our lots alike have dangers:
More than once with bated breath,
l, too, have seen swinging near me
The keen dreadful scythe of death
Sometime to that noiseless reaper
All that breathe will have to yield,
From the great king in his palace
Down to you, young hare of the field.
But the soul with life eternal
And its powers of Deity,
Looking to a glorious heaven,
Is, small one, unknown to thee.
All, no more, in sport that's wanton,
Thee or thine I'll ever harm;
have learned kinder lesson
From your danger and alarm.
E ZEN Diana, goddess, huntress,
Had she seen thee sitting so,
Would, methinks, have sheathed her
arrow
And hung up her silver bow.
True, our orchards you oft nibble
Till the young trees fail and die;
But, alas, who's free from mischief,
Man or beast, beneath the sky?
And I'm sure God will remember
All the kindness men may do
To the smallest of his creatures,
To just such one as you.
10, poor little timid wanderer!
l am glad you still can play:
10, and in the bright green meadows
May you leap for many day!
As for me, I'm not repining
At my lot this goodly hour;
And I'm hopeful for future
Of increasing peace and power.

County Politics.

The latest developments in the present
campaign in Obion County are that W.
A. Chambers will make the race as an
independent against G. r. McDade, and
that I. G. Gordon will be candidate
against the nominee for Floater, ]. L.
Cochran. A meeting was held in Union
City last Monday by the friends of the
independent movement, and it is under
stood that Mr. Chambers was the choice
of those present and will make the race
for Representative. So far we do not
know what action has been taken with
reference to Mr.. Gordon.
The Commercial wants it understood
that it is supporting the Democratic
nominees in the State from Governor
McMilin down the line. We believe
shat Governor McMillin is entitled to
his nomination, and see no reason why
the other nominees are not entitled to
theirs. Those candidates in the primary
election who were understood to be in
sympathy with the independent faction
were defeated. 1t is hard then to un-
derstand how the independent candi-
dates can make any progress in the
eleventh hour. Everyone of the candi-
dates now running has pledged himself
to support the State wide laws with ref
erence to Prohibition. These were pre-
election pledges. None of the candi
dates made pledges with reference to
Ex-Governor Patterson.
The Commercial regrets the entry of
Mr.. Patterson in the Senatorial race,
and takes pleasure in seeing the state
ment made by Mr.. McMillin that he is
not in league with any man living in
his race for Governor, that he expects
further to use every means possible If
elected Governor to enforce to the letter
every law upon the statute books OF
Tennessee. This ought to be enough
to satisfy any fair-minded Democrat.
There is no doubt that Governor Pat
terson's race has intensified the indie
nendent feeling. Tennessee never had
a bolder or more selfish political boss
than Patterson. He had when Governor
a string upon the vote of every county
in the State that he could use to his
personal advantage, che very thing that
the national Democratic party is now
trying to destroy.
The temperance question has been
paraded as the vital issue dividing len
nessee Democrats, but if that were all
Democrats would have much less trouble
getting together. The underlying mo-
five of the matter is that the old Bryan
hating Palmer and Buckner faction in
Tennessee is trying to lionize Patterson.
They were in sole control in the con-
vention which nominated Patterson, and
they have stood by him with a logged
determination to sink or swim, live or
die.
Much in evidence in the late State
Democratic convention were these men
who Joined the slaughtcs 4orces in 1896
70 destroy the Democratic party. With
Mr.. Patterson supporting the move
ment- in Tennessee and Carlisle and
company in the North making speeches
for Palmer and Buckner, the allies OF
the Republican ticket, the fight was
made against Bryan and the Democratic
marty and such leaders as Harris and
Bate in Tennessee, Morgan and Pettus !
