At the meeting last Monday of the

At the meeting last Monday of the
Democratic Executive Committee OF
Obion County a very harmonious spirit
prevailed. Democrats of all persuasions
seemed to be present and perfectly will
ing to let by-gones be dog-gones. The
candidates were all practically together
on the question OF a suitable time for
the primary. Some preferred, if pos
sible, little earlier date, but this
seemed to be a matter of unimportance
to them. In Mr.. Whites resolution
covering the qualification of voters in
the primary the words Welcome back"
were, on motion of T. c. Callicott,
stricken out. The amendment was &C
cepted by Mr.. White without protest.
That left the resolution with but single
provision that the voter be required to
support the nominees of the county
primary in December next, and GER
tainly there could be no better nor more
mutual interest in the Democratic party
than exhibited at this meeting. 1t is a
matter Of congratulation to reunited
Democracy that this is so.

For Trustee.

We are this week authorized to
announce T. ]. EasterwoCd, of Num-
Der Six, as candidate for Trustee
of Obion County, subject to the &C
ton of the Democratic party. Tom
Easterwood is a we'll known citizen.
He served the county as Sheriff two
terms. He was a good officer, but
for the conditions existing at that
time the Office paid him barely
enough to live on. He practically
gave his services to the people of
the county, and now he aspires to
an office that will in some measure
remunerate him for the time he has
lost and for which he pledges to
give the county, as before, the high
est qualifications and efficiency in
the discharge Of the duties involved.
Tom Easterwood was reared in the
county. He is a citizen of Number
Six and was before his election to
the Office of Sheriff. He is a man of
the highest standards of citizenship,
honesty, integrity, and in every way
entitled TO the confidence of the peo-
pie. He pledges his untiring efforts,
if nominated and elected, in the dis
charge Of duty, and his claims are
justly entitled to your consideration
We take pleasure in presenting his
candidacy.

was born in Union City Jan. 80,

entered Vanderbilt University. TAX

this to say of the deceased:
News of the death of Seid Wad-
dell, Jr., will be received with sor-
row by his many friends in Nash
Vile, where he is remembered as a
student at Vanderbilt University
several years ago. Mr.. Waddell at
tended Vanderbilt and distinguished
himself thru his literary attain
ments. He was a member of the
Observer staff and was also a con-
tributor to the different publica-
|tions, including the Commodore, the
college annual. He left Vanderbilt
in 1913 and was for a short time
a reporter on the Tennessean and
American, after which he went to
the University of Missouri, where he
took a special course in journalism.
He then went to Hartman, Tenn,
to take charge of paper, and later
assumed the editorship of the Nor
gan County News at Oakdale. He
had a bright future in the news

A Suggestion or Two.

On commencement night the school
superintendent stated that all the talk
about failures in the examinations was
simply tissue of exaggeration, not to
say untruth, and said that 81 per cent
of the children up to the seventh grade
or the first six grades passed. Is it not
true that ten per cent of failure is nor
NAL? II SO, then we are six per cent
below normal even in the best grades.
But what of the other grades? | am
told that out of a grade of 26 seven
graduated into the High School, about
73 per cent of failure.
Now, what is the trouble? Surely the
children OF Union City are not below
the average in intelligence and applica-
ton. Is it possible that all our boys
or considerable number OF them are
smoking SO excessively that it is telling
on their work and the girls so boy-crazy
that they just can't make their gradesj
There must be some other reason, or
reasons, and the first that suggests itself
is too little time given to each recita-
ton. Thirty minutes, even thirty un-
interrupted minutes, is too short a time
to give to a subject, to say nothing of
having to dismiss one, two, or perhaps
three classes during that time. In a
class OF thirty or forty children there
are some, of course, who will take in

Lest somebody else gets ahead.

You can raise a town from the

THE RETURN

The orchards cloud Of pink and whit
Distill their sweetness spring by spring
And when there bluebirls used TO sing
Into our hearts the Old Delight,
When sunbeams lit the landscape thus
How oft above the stretch OF fence
Did vagrant vines make fragrant hints
And wave and nod and beckon us.
Beyond the fields of growing wheat
The calls Of peckerwood and jay
Tell how young is yet the day,
And make the escapsde complete.
And so by wave and nod allured
We loiter down these fragrant isles,
Enrapt again with natures wiles
And seek again the sunlit wood.
No vain regrets upon the way,
But quaffing as wanderer will
The golden joys of field and hill
From ancient founts that spring for aye.
So when at last the soul uncloys
Itself from worldly ties that bind,
The recompense will be to find
A greater version OF such joys"
He passed from this life into the life
eternal as quietly and peacefully as a
tired child falls to sleep in its mother S
arms.
A Divine Providence has taken him
to higher sphere of existence, where
he will find his life's work of doing
good.
