Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill, who
for nine consecutive terms has repre-
scented the Fourth Connecticut dis
trict at Washington. Like many OF
his equally unlucky colleagues, notably
Uncle Joe Cannon, Dalzell OF Pennsyl
vania and Cy sulloway of New Hamp-
shire, Mr.. Hill has been deemed .
fixture In the national legislature. Two
years ago he weathered the storm, but
the combined assault Of Progressives
and Democrats nt the last election
proved too great a handicap. For
many years Congressman Hill has
been a stalwart member Of the ways

powerful influence on legislation.
Jeremiah Donovan of South Nor
walk, Conn, the nan who overthrow
Mr.. Hill. Is a progressive Democrat.
His constituents say he is a real pro-
gressive. His honesty and ~independ-
ence have been strong assets to his po-
litical ambitions. He has always
fought on the side Of the people against
the domination Of monopoly and was
a bitter opponent of the railroad lobby.
He was largely responsible for the act
establishing a public service commits
sion In Connecticut. Congressman Elect
Donovan is sixty years old and is a
member Of the Connecticut senate.

paper is to be given to Union City to
advertise its resources, and in addition
to the ordinary advertisements there is
to be a write-up as a booster for the

five per cent. of the advertising and
sixty per cent. of the subscription price.
This money is to be used for civic i'm

day of last week one hundred thousand
of the papers had been sold, and it is
safe to predict that it will go all over

Colored Boy Arrested.

Curtis Crunk, colored, wassarrested
Tuesday for carrying a pistol. Officer
Glover arrested the negro and took his
pistol. 1t seems the negroes had some
trouble in Baptistville, and the boy
threatened to shoot. When he drew
the pistol some one took it away from
him, and he ran fora gun. Mr.. Glover
captured him and brought him before
the Mayor, who fined him $40, but on
account of the juvenile law returned the
money. Squire Kenney had to do the
same thing when the negro was brought
to him, and then he was taken to Judge
Lawson with the same result. Judge
Jones had case here some time ago,
and the prisoner had to be released on
account of his age. His offense was a
high crime, but the law forbid the pun
ishment of youth under 16 and he was
discharged. 1t seems that the acts Of
the last Legislature included a juvenile
law and provided no juvenile court or
jurisdiction for offenders under the age
limit. The case here was disposed of
and the prisoner turned over to his ia
Their with recommendations for correc-
ton.

] celebrate that venerable citizens birth
day 95 years ago on the 10th day OF
August. The grove nearby was selected
and preparations made of ample pro-
portions for the large crowd assembling
there on this notable occasion. Col.
Catron, native of Middle Tennessee
and veteran of the Mexican war, came
to Obion in the ffties and blazed the way
through canebrake, now the site OF
Union City, and survives with never a
day sickness to see all the wonderful
transformations of growing civilization
and to enjoy mental and physical bless
ings rarely accorded to the human fam
lily, Throughout almost century. The
Hauser Valley neighborhood citizens
were all present probably without a sin
gle exception to greet this grand old pl-
oneer of the good county of Obion.
From one of the relatives we gather the
names of number of those who were
present as follows:
r. P. Catron and family, ]. [. Den
ming and family, John Catron and fam
lily, H. A. Compton and family, Catron
Compton and family Mr.. and Mrs. I.

The dinner was a feast of barbecued
meats and the fullness of the richest
valley in a hundred Kingdoms, the oc-
casion altogether one to be celebrated in
the annals of the county. Col. Catron
was 95 years of age, and enjoyed the
anniversary among his friends and his
descendants to the third and fourth gen.
Grafton. A number of nice remem-
brances were rendered to the Colonel.

KILLS OBION COUNTIAN.
Rob Cherry Shot by Luke Johnson
Resisting Attack.

Rob Cherry, a citizen of the lake re
gion of Obion County, who has figured
as defendant in one or more murde
cases, was killed Tuesday morning
Aug. 20, in the hay field of M. G. Law
son, near the Dyer County line By Luke
johnson, who was running hay bale
in the field.
Cherry is reported to have been oper
atfpg soft drink stand in the com
munity which had been the occasion o
much trouble to the neighborhood. Il
is alleged that Luke Johnson had in.
CURED the hostility of Cherry in some
way, and that last May Cherry had
beaten him severely with bottle and
had threatened to kill him. The parties
had not been friendly since. Tuesday
morning Cherry left his store and went
about a mile to the field where John
son was at work, and after cursing and
abusing johnson made an assault upon
him with a pitchfork. Johnson had
been apprehensive of attack from this
source and pistol which he drew and
fired at Cherry just as he made the at
tack. The first shot missed the man
and Cherry's fork pricked the arm Of
Johnson, who fired two more shots, one
of which struck Cherry in the head and
caused his death in a short time.
johnson went at once and surrendered
to Ofiiber Arthur King of Dyer County,
the shooting occurring near the county
line. King has the prisoner Ing charge,
but, finding that the killing occurred in
Obion County, will turn him over at
once 10 Officer Henry Evans for pre-
liminary hearing before the Obion au-
thorities.
johnson has always borne good
reputation, and the eyewitness to the
affair say that he acted strictly on the
defensive and when he was in immedi-
ate danger from the deadly attack of
Cherry.
The trial will probably be had before
Esquires w. H. Cutler and H. c. Da-
wilson, magistrates of the district in
which the killing occurred.

Robbery of Bank.

Tiptonville, Tenn, Aug. 17.-Clar-
ence Hanna, accused of robbing the
bank at Tyler, Mo-, Friday of last week
was arrested by Constable Sam Patter-
son at Reelfoot last night and brought
here by Sheriff n. E. Haynes and lodged
in Jail. 1t was the boldest robbery ever
perpetrated in Southeast Missouri. A
lone robber appeared at the bank at
Tyler just as Cashier Geo. Treece was
preparing to close the bank, and at the
point of revolver forced Treece to
hand him out 81, 2O5 and made his
escape.
No one thought of the robber being
Lake County boy until the arrest was
made last night. The young man is
the son of Rev. Hanna, of Coruthers-
vile, Mo-, who lived here until a few
years ago. A number of the citizens
called at the Jail to-day and were recog-
nizeL be prisoner. He has made
no statO and refuses to return to

has bee before and it Is said
he is wanted Gibson County on a
