When railroad trains together clash
Or leap the rails, or elsewise smash,
OF this one fact you may be sure
Most of the murdered folks were
poor.
They rode In some old shackly car
Which any careful road should bar
Some wooden trap. In days when
steel
Forms all safe cars, from roof to
wheel.
When boats go down. we see again
The toiling poor folks--women, men
And little children out to take
A low-priced outing on lake
These are the ones who meet their
death
While seeking one untrammeled
breath.
The boats officials should condemn
Are sent to haul "the likes OF
theml"
When houses burn or floods descend.
The poor man and his poorer friend
Who live in frailest tenement,
Or low spots where there's lowest
rent
These are the ones whose names we
read
As victims cf somebody's greed.
"The poor ye have with you Away
How many have we killed to-day?
Music
Music is noise that not only
doesn't offend, but pleases.
What's one mans noise is another
mans music.
Some people enjoy grand opera, we
are informed. Others pretend to en-
JOY it because people whom they
think are smarter than themselves
claim to.
Nearly everybody encores an
operatic selection on a mixed pro-
gramme so that the singer viii re-
appear and sing High Jinks," "You
Wouldn't Believe Me-" or Gene
We've"
Many who attend grand opera
sleep patiently till the part comes
that has the tune. In Martha they
leave a call for "The Sowing and The
Moving" or "The Ultimate Blossom
of the Heated Season; in Carmen,
they wait for the famous bull
warble; in Trovatore they squirm
around, and endure everything for
the sake of the "Miserere" and tho
Anvil Chorus" and in Faust they'll
stand a lot of unholy din to get an
ear full of the Soldiers Chorus"
1t is a rank optimist who believes
the majority of mankind will ever be-
come highbrow enough to like that
puzzling classic kind better than
they like plain hick stuff with some
thing in it that they can whistle.

If man insists on being we'll

We have noticed that poor
lawyer often knows more than twcs-

A. They may settle the controver-
; sy without the assistance of lawyer
on either side, If they care to do so,
provided the matter has not gone
too far. If suit has been COM
menced and the litigants are repre-
sented in court by counsel, an ad-
justment of the claim, made outside
of court without the knowledge Of the
attorney, will be looked upon with
suspicion, and if fraud has entered
into the transaction the settlement
may be set aside.

Scratching Hens.

The scratching hen is the laying hen.
In the spring they dig early and late
and they lay. In the winter they sit
around moping. They become bilious
and lazy because they get no exercise
and once bilious they seldom recover
until spring. And they are an easy
prey to cholera and other diseases. B.
A. Thomas Poultry Powders starts the
liver. Feed it twice week until they
begin to sing and scratch, then occa-
sionally. We sell it and guarantee it.

City Affairs.

The Board OF Mayor and Aldermen
met at the Office OF the Recorder last
Tuesday night in regular session, with
a very small budget but considered at
some length the proposition OF city
hall building.
Some few weeks ago plans OF a very
extensive nature were made for hall,
which the architect, Fl. P. Taylor, said
could be built for $4,000.
No arrangements being made for the
money, the Board laid the matter aside,
and so this week G. HI. Sheriff., of the
Sheriff. Russell Lumber Co., Paducah,
came over to Union City, his former
home, and proposed to build according
to plans OF his own, city hall for Union
City for 90, $50 and carry the city's pa
per for s per cent. Committee having
the matter in charge reported favorably,
and Mr.. Sheriff. and his architect dis
played the plans for the inspection OF
the Board. A motion was offered and
a vote was taken and the plans adopted,
the committee being empowered to act
at its discretion.
The plans exhibited two story build
ing, 30 by IS feet, with mat brick and
stone trimmings, complete with assem-
bly, room and offices, Jail cells, ETC., with
power, light and water equipment, etc.
We understand that the COMMITTEES
yesterday had made no FINAL decision in
the matter, but were considering the
advisability OF issuing another block OF
public improvement bonds SO that
these matters could be carried through
without fear OF in;uring the city's credit.
A public meeting is to be held to
take the matter up for final consid-
Grafton by the people of Union City.
The committee felt that Mr.. Sher~
ril1 had made them just as good a
proposition as could have been Sc
cured with competitive bids. Any
way Clarence Sheriff. has host Of
friends here who have the utmost
confidence in his ability and integ-
rity and in his desire to give the
people of Union City the advantage
of the deal in every possible way.
So much so that Mr.. Sheriff. left
with the understanding that the
contract was binding OH his part on
ly, and that the city could reject it
if not entirely satisfactory, and he
would retire with the very kindest
feelings towards our people. He
further notified the committee that
he would revise his bid so that the
contract would read with deferred
payments on the building at 6 per
cent instead of s as first proposed.
