Death of Mrs. NJ. F. White.

Mrs. Sallie Maxey White was born il
Terre Haute, Ind, August 10, 1856
was married to M. F. White April Is
1896, and passed from this life Angus
l, 1912.
Mrs. White moved from Terre Haute
Ind, to Ewing, KY, when but a small
child and there spent happy girlhood,
until the death of her parents, after
which, she and her brother came to
Union City to make their home. She
has been a member of the Church of
Christ for more than % years, and while
we would not claim perfection for her,
for each of us has his or her faults, we
feel that when Miss Sallie comes for her
reward the angels will say of her, "She
hath done what she could" For she
was true to her husband, her home and
her God.
There are left to mourn their loss, her
husband, her brother, Vaughan, of At
lantic City, N. j., three uncles and a
host of friends. The funeral services
were held at the home by Rev. w. Hal
liday Trice and interment at the East
View Cemetery. There were many
beautiful flowers which testified to the
esteem in which she was held by her
neighbors and friends.

Progress.

The time for our annual county fair
will soon be here, and | want to say by
way of commentator of the past that
progress is the incentive to renewed &C
ton and greater effort without which
we can do nothing. Our past fairs have
been good, but we have not quite meas
ured up to our possibilities. We have
the means at our hand to have one OF
the best county fairs in the State, being
surrounded with one of the richest and
most fertile valley of land in the world
and as enterprising citizenship as can be
found anywhere. Why not each de-
partment, therefore, in our fair strive
to initiate the standard set by the ladies'
department at our fair. This cannot
be done without the cooperation of the
citizenship of the county. Therefore,
bring some specimen of your handi-
work, the products of your farm, work
shop, poultry yard, stock, old relics,
curios, rare plants and flowers until
each department be made to overflow
with an exhibit that cannot be sur
passed.
We earnestly ask every farmer in the
county that wants this to be progress

Plain Talk.

While Union City is making improve
ments in business houses, residences
and streets, the most remarkable evel
made here, another very importan
matter is being neglected, 1t is almos
a crime for the property owners anC
business men in the thickly settled
business part of the city to neglect sew
erage connections. The city has pro-
vided sewerage, and the business houses,
especially along First street and Wash
ington avenue, should be connected.
The property owners owe it to the city
to do this at once. The residences are
being connected much more rapidly
than was anticipated. But the work is
not needed near SO badly in the residence
portions of the city. We have the
scavenger service which aids largely in
keeping the outlying sections in good
sanitary condition, but no scavenger
service can keep the business section
clean. These connections are needed
to prevent contamination. The bust
ness men are exposed enough mixing
and mingling with the crowds every day,
but to add to this the contamination of
the dirty; filthy outhouses is inexcus-
able. To come in contact with all this
and then take the days accumulations
home is bad enough if there were no
sewerage, but with the sewerage it is
crime. In the summertime millions
of infectious germs emanate especially
from the alley between First and Sec
ond streets up towh, and the air is filled
with the most repulslve odors.
The Commercial pleads guilty to the
charge, but something should be said
about it. If the business men and
property owners haven't enough regard
for the interests of their families, say
nothing of proper self respect, or the
pride of cleanliness, then their attention
should be called to the fact
Union City is making rapid strides
in improvement, but if we improve in
everything else and neglect our health,
nothing has been gained. Seems to us
we have had enough lectures on the sub
iect of health and timely hints about S
We have had our sewerage completed :
one year. The system is complete and |
it was installed as the result of a general
demand for sewerage. The city officials \
had been criticised for years because
hey did not attempt it. But now, if
we Judge by the manner that business +
house connections are being made, the y
demand was altogether mistake. .
The work of general connections down
own should start at once without per-
uasion. 1t should be voluntary, and y
should set the pace. u

Farm Co-Operation.

Washington.-Presiden Finley, of the
Southern Railway Company, has an.
nounced that the management Of that
company, realizing the great opportu.
aity for increasing the prosperity of the
territory traversed by its lines through
building up soil productivity and in
creasing the average crop yield per acre,
had decided to organize a Department
of Farm Improvement Work to begin
operations on September /. This de-
partment will work on the cooperative
demonstration plan, first adopted by the
late DR.. S. A. Knapp, of the United
States Agricultural Department. 1t will
aim to show to the farmers what they
can do on their own lands and with
their own resources.
Mr.. T. O. Plunkett, who has been
General Agent of the Cotton Culture
/, Department, is to be at the head of
the new organization with the title
of Manager of Farm improvement
Work His office will be in Atlanta,
Ga, and three Assistant Managers
of Farm Improvement Work will be
appointed to be located at advantageous
points. A force of field agents will be
appointed to visit farmers in their re-
spective localities and cooperate with
them for the demonstration of those
methods of culture and soil treatment
which may be expected to produce the
best results in the way ofincreased crop
yields. This work will be carried on
entirely free of cost to farmers wishing
to avail themselves of it in the territory
traversed by the lines of the Southern
Railway,
Speaking of the Department of Farm
Work, President Finley
;aid:
Its purpose is to be broadly helpful
o the farmers in the territory traversed l
~ our lines, | can conceive of nothing
hat would be more beneficial to the '
Southeastern States than a substantial |
Increase in the average yield of farm
rops such as it is the aim of the De- /
'artment of Farm Improvement Work |
o endeavor to bring about. The in /
reased prosperity of the farmers would v
re reflected in all lines of business. |
elieve, therefore, that all those in '
crested in the development of our Sec =
ion who are in a position to aid in this T
movement can very properly do so.
he State Commissioners of Agriculture,
tate Agricultural Colleges and Expert
nent Stations are doing valuable work,
nd the newspapers of the Southeast \
,hich give special attention to the pub
cation of the advice of recognized ex-
erts on agricultural matters are most !
elpful. 1t shall be the policy of :
ur Department of Farm Improvem ent l.
York to cooperate with all these agen- Il
les and to seek their cooperation. 4"
