Carnegie Library.

The first meeting OF the library COM
mittee, appointed by the Board Of Edu
cation, met at the library building al
2:30 p. m. last Friday. The committed
was unanimous in deciding that the
building be dedicated and formally
opened on Friday, April 8.
The two dedicating addresses will be
given by library representatives from
Nashville and Memphis. Mrs. Pearl
Williams Kelley, Of Nashville, has al
ready signifed her willingness to be
present and assist. The two addresses
will be interlarded by short pithy re-
marks from some OF our representative
local people.
At the library building, on the same
night, it is planned to hold one of the
most brilliant receptions that Union City
has ever held. The building lends itself
admirably for this purpose. Buffet re-
freshments will be served by skilled
caterers, while wit and wisdom will
mingle with the softened strains of a
stringed orchestra. Everybody get
ready; for the committee is determined
that this shall be another big day for
Union City.

In travelling over the route through
Number Seven leading to the 0bion
River drainage dredge boat last Friday
the opportunity of seeing some Of the
highly improved county public high
ways was enjoyed. This has been an
exceptionally ary winter, but the roads
are just like a pike all the way from
Union City over the Stanley bridge and
the public road by the way Of Critten-
don Grove, over the Mud Creek and Cane
Creek bridges: to the big ditch near the
Weakley County line. The only criti-
cism worth offering could be made with
reference to few holes in the leyee.
This was suggested once before. The
levee road especially should be kept very
smooth and the commissioners should
give it more attention. But Oblon
County roads are Incompatible. To
mention the need OF a gravel road at
this time would seem like joke. Mr..
Sid Caldwell's new Ford skipped over
the sixteen miles in just 81 minutes and
made the return trip in just about the
same length of time. 1t was a great
trip and we remarked to our fellow
passengers that the suggestion OF such a
thing as going sixteen miles an hour in
January over the public road to see
dredge boat cutting 45-foot canal
through the bottom at the rate OF mile
month would have been disposed OF
with few unpublished expletives some
thing to designate a wandering mind.
But the seven wonders are no longer at
tractive in the world Of 60-story sky
scrapers, airships and wireless telegra-
ply, talking movies, ETC., and what
seems strange to-day may be very COM
monplace in five years. Ten years from
now, if any OF us are here, we will see
the most remarkable advancement ever
made in this county with our good
roads, valley drainage, etc.
