ling continues to exist as it does now
all the closing in the world would not
materially increase the attendance Of
Union City people at the fair. They
simply do not care to attend the fair.
A patient on the bed. The doctor
with walking cane and bottle on the
table. The patient asks the doctor to
| strike at the real cause of his illness,
and the doctor smashes the whisky bot
tie with his cane. So, you ask what is
the matter with the Obion County fair,
and we tell you that the people of Union
City do not patronize it. The people in
the county and over in Kentucky have
patronized it literally. The people along
the NJ, G. & st. L. and NJ. & 0. rail-
roads have patronized it literally. The
out-of-town crowds were good this year
Notwithstanding our misfortune. But
the people of Union City were not on
the grounds.
Therefore, we say what Is the use?
If our people do not want the fair right
here at our doors, how can they expect
other people to take an interest in it.
II they have no public spirit or pride
in public enterprise, we say what is the
use of trying to maintain the fair here.
Let some other good town in the county
have it where the people are more in
sympathy with the movement. If the
people of Union City do not want the
fair let the grounds be sold and let some
other point have the concession. 1t be-
longs to us by no moral right.
Go a little further and let the Bust
ness Mems Club disband. 1t is all
mistake. One faction refuses to CO.
operate with the other, and vice versa,
and no community of interests exists.
If the other faction had the lead it
would be the same way. We've got the
hammer out to-day and we're going to
use it. Drop the fair and the Business
Mems Club; turn your back on public
enterprise. Every fellow for himself
and the devil take the hindmost Let
avarice and selfishness reign in Union
City. As the Yiddish merchant said to
his son, get money honestly if you can,
but if you cannot get it honestly, get it.

Prospect Bright.

To my fellow Democrats of the
Ninth Congressional District: | take
this method of sending to you mes,
sage of felicitation and good cheer on
the bright prospects for a general Dem.
ocratic victory next November. | con-
fidently believe that we have the best
men for our standard bearers who have
been nominated by any political party
within the last half century. Through
organized effort we cannot fail.
As EIector for this Congressional Dis
trict will soon begin an active canvass
in behalf Of our ticket and | feel sure
that you and each of you will join with
me in every effort to make our victory
doubly sure. therefore respectfully
but earnestly request the Democrats of
their respective counties to at once Or
ganize Central Democratic Clubs in each
county and a district club in each civil
district of said counties.
One Of our main efforts will be to get
out the Democratic voters on election
day, and that can be done better
through organized efforts. Our I'M
daunted Chieftain, the matchless Wood
row Wilson, has suggested that the
country schoolhouses be utilized for
public meetings and public speakings. l
therefore suggest that we, as far as pos
sible, put his suggestion into practice by
having public speaking in every civil
district in every county. While will
get to make but few speeches in each
county, l, as we'll as you, veil call upon
the patriotic Democrats of your county
to speak for the Democratic ticket.
Thanking you in advance for your CO.
operation and support, l beg to remain,
Yours for Democratic victory,

County Judge.

G. R. Kenney was elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Lawson last Monday. The retiring
members of the County Court and the
newly elected members were here and
decided upon caucus in order to get
the sense of both courts as to their
choice of County Judge. A motion
to this effect was made by ESQ, E. N.
Moore and adopted. The balloting be-
gan with Mr.. Kenney and S. F. Howard
leading. The hindmost candidates be-
gan to withdraw, and Mr.. Kenney
finally won. The old court then met
and ratified the caucus nomination.
The new court will qualify at the Oc-
tober term and ratify or reject the ac-
ton of the old cburt as it may see fit.
Judge Kenney will, if confirmed by the
1ew court, hold Office until the next
August elections when his successor will

The Farmer and Stockman wants a
local subscription representative in each
town in thiscounty to take subscriptions
during the fall and winter months. A
Justice of the Peace in Arkansas made
S347.OO during December, January,
February and March last year and never
left his office. An old soldier in Mis-
eouri has earned $5S6.00 in the last
year. A lady in Kentucky who had
sold extracts all her life took up our
work last winter and has made over
$4,000 this year without leaving her
home town. 1t requires no PARTICULAR
ability to become a subscription repe-
sentative. There is no reason why you
should not make from $4,000 to
100000 this winter looking after my
subscription interests in your locality.

| o muse who MARBLES from my native shores
Sweet. tureful praises of the smiling scene
| Pause while, and from your harvest stores
| A note to Learning and to Friendship glean
A lingering note with measured tread sincere
Whose accents, light as some dim starry CLEAN,
Shall fall like ba1miest music on the ear,
And have depth like some clear mountain
That trickles down the slopes in liquid ease
And neighboring fields to vocal mirth begui1e.
Except where sunny views its fancies please,
1t stops among the rocks to laugh awhile;
AS round the festive board again we draw
To crack our jokes above the bouillabaisse.
The friendly light which yesterday we saw
In every eye still still shines from every face;
No stress of toll has snatched from Mitchelrs
glance
The ruddy zeal that brings the hale "ahoy"
Nor rural labor dampen'd the real romance &
That p caruthers once found down at Tro{
Till through the twilight rose another sun
With rays to far outshine the ancient flame
And basking in the looks of Littleton 81
He gave to Palmer's care the Trojan dame;
No greater joys I.ysander, crossed. deplores,
Nor fercer flames of Hymen dares to risk,
AS when Homers music died as clearer scores
Drew Aydelott's aid unto treasured desk
No blight of years has chilled ambitions ire
That used to glow with warmth in Taylor's
breast,
Nor wandering trait dethroned the genial fire
That sparkling greets the social talk or jest;
Such hearty charms which hover round us still,
While tides of sentiment and spirit flow.
Make Moss and Tally rivals for bill
And both content that it is nothing more:
And here behold the Doctor of the brood
Who, though in christian garments once arrayed,
Did cut up harmless men in savage mood
And unjoint frogs to learn an NJ d. s trade
Once more around the burden d festive board
We've drawn with mingled shouts of cheer and
mirth
And faces bright with lights of joys restor'd,
Where tears have had no span, nor grief BIRTH
And in each eye the genial fire still burns
That quickens Friendships soft conso1ing balm
That warns the heart until the glow returns
Unto the face its rare enduring charm. IA
Where Friendship once has dropped its swelling
seed
No lesser power can hold blighting stay,
When linked with Learning we behold indeed
A finer force to have stronger sway.

SEA MADE FORTUNE
Yet Head of Aston Family Stood
In Terror of Ocean.
During Storm, After John Jacob Be-
eame MuitLMiiIlonaIre, Offered
Captain Of Vessel $4,000 to
Be Put Ashore.

New York.--It is recalled that John
Jacob Aston, the great-grandfather OF
Col. John Jacob Aston, who went down
with the Titanic. twice escaped ship
wreck and that the fortunes OF the
great house were really laid on board
the vessel In which the German lad
sailed to America.
In September, 1888 Aston who was
destined to become the richest man in
don for his brother George, tho pro-
prietor of a flute factory. He had
toiled in the factory for two years and
at the end of that time was the posses.
sor of Is guineas and two suits OF
clothes. When the news came tlszt
Benjamin Franklin and his associates
In Paris had at last signed the treaty
which completed the independence OF
the United States young Aston deter
mined to seek his fortunes In the new
land.
That early sailing took two months
In fair weather, and the vessel In
which Astor was a passenger encoun-
tered very rough winds, so that 1t was
the middle of January before she
reached Chesapeake bay. There, as
far as the eye could see, was nothing
but ice.
Within a days sail of Baltimore the
vessel became locked in the ice. Some
Of the passengers were able to walk
out on the ice and reach the shore,
but young Aston declared that as the
owner of the ship had contracted to
land him in Baltimore and lodge him
In the interval, he would remain on
board.
One of his companions was an elder
ly German who was returning to
America after a visit to his native
land. He and his young countryman
became quite friendly, and 1t was from
this chance acquaintance that Aston
learned about the money to be made
In the fur business. The elder man
had been a penniless immigrant him
self, but had made a fortune out OF
furs, and did not hesitate to give
young Aston many pointers that later
on were invaluable to him.
His second notable adventure with
the sea was half a century later. lie
had been in Austria and had spent
three years with his daughter, who
had married Count Rumph, and was
on his way home in consequence or
the panic that had been caused by
President Jackson's attack upon the
Bank of the United States. At this
time Aston was worth $40,000,000 and
was the richest man in the United
States. He reached the boat shortly
before she left Havre and induced the
captain to give up his stateroom for
his use.
No sooner had the vessel cleared
the port, however, than Astor, who had
been so eager to embark, wanted to be
set ashore.
1t was arranged that he would be
sent back the next day, but the wind
changed and the vessel got out into
the Atlantic. In a couple OF days she
was driven back near the coast OF Ire
land and the terrified millionaire Of
fered $4,000 If the captain would put
back with him. The captain refused,
because of the dangers of the Irish
coast. This WAS the last time John
Jacob Aston went to sea, though he
lived IA years after.
