The children OF the poor have been

not properly understand the laws Of
community progress, or know just
what we are doing. We have no re-

no Investigations, or until recently
we have resented any suggestion that
we needed to learn
we Of the South have been pecu-
liarly jealous Of our reputation, and
have in many cases hid our eyes
lest we see things that were not good.

had been accomplished in Union City,
especially the sanitary sewerage and the
seayenger service, and be felt like that
the Board was entitled to a need of
praise for what had been done. Our
city government is the best, perhaps as
ideal in every respect as is what is known
as the commission form.
w. L. White was called on by the
POSTMASTER as his special friend, and
Mr.. White responded that he had SUR
yiyed defeat without scratch or sore
spot. He was as enthusiastic as ever
over the work accomplished in Union
City and the prospects OF the future.
He thought Mr.. Mute and his schools
we're without an equal, and his compli-
ments to Mr.. Walker, president of the
Board Of Education, were very kind,
and to all the members OF both bodies.
Mayor 7. r. Reynolds, native OF
Mississippi, spoke Of his early days in
Union City and his ideals, Of the purging
of Union City of some OF its vicious
characters by men OF former days, and
the grand work that had formed the
basis of our present civic standards. In
this work he referred to a former we'll
known citizen, Uncle Tommy Osborne,
whose impress was felt in every good
work OF his day, and who was universally
loved by every man, woman and child
in Union City. Certain it is that Uncle
Tommy stood almost alone in the grand
eur and purity Of his character. As a
minister and man he was more Christ
like perhaps than any citizen in the
memory OF our people.
The hour was getting late and DR..
Turner called upon Rev. Zwingle for the
benediction.
w. G. Reynolds spoke on the subject
OF roads. The gentleman made the
statement that Obion County's public
highways we're in better condition than
were ever known. The present drag
system has been about perfected, and
at the present time the roads are a
great deal like pixies. The gravel road
is practically prohibitive because SO ex-
pensive, but the dragged dirt road was
really better in dry weather, and they
could be used to better advantage about
nine months in the year. Mr.. Rey-
nolds added that more grading is needed
on the dirt roads.

City Officers as Hosts.

The City Recorder, Mr.. Woosley, and
the city officials, Officers Noah, White
and Williams. Yates, Parks, Martin,
Attorney Whipple, Treasurer A. L.
Garth, Major w. L. Alexander and Mr..
CIaud Allen rendered their annual sup
per at Dahnke's Cafe last Tuesday night
TO the Board OF Mayor and Aldermen
and the Board OF Education, with the
presence OF the ministers and the editors
as invited guests.
Coils. Grover Schleifer and A. G..
Monrotus, the caterers, and their as
sistants, who served, Geo. Monrotus and
Will Mitchell, had laid covers for twenty
five or more, with menu OF oysters,
baked turkey, cranberry sauce, green
peas, mashed potatoes, fruit, coffee,
cigars, ETC., OF the rarest quality and
finest cuisine, for which Dahnke's is
noted.
DIR. w. M. Turner, who, in Difference
to his great popularity, was requested to
take the head Of the table as postmaster,
called upon Rev. Stuart to offer grace,
and then began in his own happy style
to introduce the speakers. The oratory
was filled with a spirit Of city pride, in
terlarded with anecdote and humor.
, Esq. Polk referred to the work Of the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen in the
eighties, when the solons were infused
with patriotic impulse, the men who
kinded little civic fire in Union City
and caused the building Of the court
house at cost Of $18, 900 and the first
water and light plant. He stated that
the only way was for the board to do
what it conceived to be its highest and
best duty let the consequences be as
they may.
Col. ]. M. Brice eulogized the schools
and appealed for more liberal in
dustrial expansion in Union City. Rev.
Stuart, one OF the most natural and
graceful after dinner takers, stated in
brief that he had lived in the best West
Tennessee towns and none Of them APP

Farmers Dined.

One Of the largest gatherings OF farm
ers ever in Union City was held at the
Hurt printing building Wednesday after
noon, with Representative G. G. Shoff,
Of the American Steel aud Wire Co., in
charge. Invitations were issued by the
Mailing Keiser Hardware Co., and the
house was filled with representative cit
liens. The Kirkland Lunch Room sup
piled the dinner and it was good one
in every respect. Mr.. Chas. Dietzel, OF
this city, travelling salesman for the
same company, assisted Mr.. Shoff in
handling the work. The object Of the
meeting was to discuss the merits Of the
steel post, of which the Mailing Keiser
Hardware Co. are agents in Union City.
Mr.. Shoff did this 10 very attractive
and satisfactory manner. He spoke Of
its utility, durability, its proof against
fire and water, its use as lightning rod
and its manifold advantages over the
wood post. Mr.. Shoff, concluding his
talk, offered as a bonus, 10 extra posts
for each lot of 100 sold and orders we're
taken for 5000 altogether.
The farmers Of this county are keep
ing abreast Of the times and every ad-
vantage that offers itself to their good
sound sense and Judgment. They are
investing in the best machinery and
fencing and these posts appeal to them
as one OF the best propositions in that
line.
The 5000 posts will be delivered here
next Saturd ay, Jan. 81, at II O'Clock.

ire at Troy.

Some Of the old buildings that have
stood at Troy for nearly century were
destroyed by fire Wednesday evening.
The fire originated in the loft of the
Scarce & Hughes livery barn about
s 80 0 clock. The FIRE spread both ways,
extending to the Troy Hardware store
on the west and the corner OF the lot ON
the east. The hardware store was not
damaged. Buildings belonging to g.
r. McDade, Henry Bennett and w. G.
Cloar we're burned. The stable outfit,
not including the horses, was burned
and pair of good mules belonging to
y. w. Scarce. Some frame houses to
the rear were also burned, including a
shanty occupied by some negroes.
We presume the property was only
partially insured, owing to the danger
of the risk. Some OF the old buildings
carry history Of the early days Of Troy.
One Of them, used as a barber shop,
vas occupied for years as law Office by
Major ]. g. Smith. father OF our fellow
citizen, F. j. Smith, who is also well
known in the practice Of law.

health, better schools and churches
more money, no poor people except the
| pelpless rich, to whom he referred as
having pedal attachment. Anyway
he thought Union City the Athens Of
the World. Supt. A. G. Mute illustrated
his talk as usual with a good story to
show that Union City had fine schools
but needed better cooperation. His
school was referred to by Mr.. Robinson
here Monday as one of the best schools
in the State, but his ambition was for a
school that would give liberal education
to the children OF Union City, one that
would prepare them practically for near
ly all the business avenues Of life. He
wanted an increase in the school tax in
order to carry on this work.
Brother Zwingle was called on and
followed in one ofthe most pleasant and
attractive talks OF the evening, advo-
eating closer union between the citi-
zens and the ministry. He felt that the
time had come for the minister to come
down from his high plane to common
leyelwith the business man and that they
form, as it were, co-partnership Of in
terests. It is desirable, he said, from
either end of the proposition. 1t is
consummation devoutly to be wished.
DR.. Blanton stated that he had come
prepared to call the bluff. They thought
to keep him away by calling for aspeech.
The Doctor related the experience OF the
man who had been operated on for APP
pendicitis, He was recovering and
turning to several other patients who
had taken the same treatment, began to
speak Of his good fortune. Butthe first
one spoken to replied that he had under
gone the second operation ON account
OF the surgeon having sewed up in his
abdomen a pair Of scissors. Another
had been operated on twice, because the
surgeon had forgotten to remove . pan
from the walls of the body. About that
time his own surgeon poked his head in
the door OF the room and asked il any
one knew what had become of his hat.
Whereupon the first speaker tainted.

School Opening.

The west side grammar school was
opened in the new building last Monday

homes are in the section west of the rail-
road tracks, were formed and marched
in body from the main building on

Miss Moore had 43 pupils in line and
Miss Howell like number. Exercises

ton of the building by the secretary and
treasurer OF the building committee,
T. r. Meadow, and its acceptance by
Mayor Reynolds. Prof. M. V. Robin
son, OF the Industrial Department OF the
University OF Tennessee, formerly Of the
Hall-Moody School at Martin, accom-
panied by his daughter, was present
and paid very high compliment to the
Union City schools and to the city itself.
He stated in the course Of his remarks
that Union City would open the eyes OF
East Tenuesseans if they should pay us
visit. Other speakers were w. q.
Reynolds, ]. M. Brice, f. J. Smith,
Miss Cora Wingo and members Of the
school board.
The ladies served sandwiches and tea
to all the visitors and to the children in
the most liberal abundance. The build
ing is provided with hot air heat and
many excellent advantages, including
cloak rooms, drinking fountains, lavor-
atories, chapel, halls, class rooms and
everything complete for fine grammar
school.
Miss Moore has charge Of the third
and fourth grades and Miss Howell the
first and second. The chapel exercises
are conducted with Miss Moore as lead
err. Superintendent Mute states that he
expects that this building will be filled
in the course of two or three years at
the present rate OF increase in the city
schools. Quite a number of visitors
were present on this occasion and the
opening was line OF demarcaton in
