A Splendid Record.

Sexton A. Martin very kindly informs
us of the fact that he buried one more
person last year, whose death occurred
outside of the corporate limits, than Of
those who lived inside. OF the two
burials last month neither lived inside
the corporate limits Of Union City. Mr..
Martin is very proud of his record, and
it seems to us that educational and in
dustrial enterprises seeking locations
should give this matter the greatest
consideration. Union City now has all
the advantages and comforts Of city,
barring the saloons and the lawless con-
ditions that exist in most of the cities.
We have city of churches, schools
the best--sanitary sewerage and surface
sanitation, concrete walks complete in
all parts OF the city, city mail delivery,
the purest and best drinking water,
white way and splendid water and light
system-all these and we invite and
offer inducements to enterprise Of every
good character.

ternity OF Tennessee with the highest
gift within the lodge in his elevation to
the position of Grand Master of the
State. There lives not a citizen in the
county nor in the State who deserves
more at the hands of his people and Of
his lodge than Major Bonner. His life
and his lips have been as clean through
out his honorable career as any man
living. His has been a useful citizen
ship. He has served his people, his
church, his schools, his political party
every phase and every avenue of public
life in his community and in many ways
in the county and State, and his record
is as spotless as the driven snow. He
has not only served with the highest in
tegrity, but with a singularly remark
able sound judgment and discretion and
distinguished ability. The lodge also
has reason to acknowledge his splendid
character and worth, and upon this
rock was built his name in its archives.
Every citizen and community in this
part Of the State congratulates Mr. Bon
ner in this honor.

Railway Building In 1913.

In summary of railroad construc-
ton in the United States during the year
1918, as compiled by the Railway Age
Gazette, shows total Of 3,071 miles OF
new first track. This mileage is approx
imately the same as that of 1912 and
that OF 1911.
The Gazette figures show that new
mileage was reported in 1913 by 238
companies in forty-seven States. No
new mileage was added in Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Delaware or Alaska.
Montana led in new construction with
375 miles. Texas was second with 356
miles. Other States in which more
than 100 miles Of new line were COM
pleted are: Washington, 200 miles;
California, 164 miles; North Dakota,
152 miles; Arkansas, 139 miles; Ore
gon, 123 miles; Illinois, ia miles;
Tennessee, Ill miles; Florida, los
miles; Michigan, 104 miles, and North
Carolina, 104 miles.
Kentucky's mileage OF new first track
for 1913 was 48.3 miles, compared with
1903 in 1912. In addition there was
reported 1912 miles of second track,
compared with SO. 20 miles OF such track
in 1912. This represents double track
work by the Louisville & Nashville and
by the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas
Pacific. All the new construction was
in Eastern Kentucky.
Most of the railway construction of
1918 was in the South and in the Far
West. Illinois and Michigan were the
only States north of the Ohio River
and east OF the Mississippi River in
which more than 100 miles of new line
was built Less than 1000 miles OF
new road was built east of the Missis-
sippi River in 1918, and OF this more
than 654 miles was south OF the Ohio
River. All OF the States in which no
new mileage was built are along the
seaboard north Of the Potomac
River. On the other hand, more than
|, 166 miles of new road was built west
Of Denver.
The Railway Age Gazette says the
outlook is not promising for busy year
in 1914, as only one or two large con-
tracts have been let since July 1. The
small amount Of new lines now under
indicates that the mileage
built in 1914 will show further de-
crease, unless conditions change rad
ically in the spring"
Kentucky's prospects for 1914 would
seem to be for an amount of construc-
ton equal to that OF 1918. The Clinch-
field is building to the Elkhorn coal
fields, as is the Norfolk & Western, and
some other extensions seem within the
range Of probability. Courier-J ournal.
