Married for Money"

Sounds good, doesn't it? But
when we tell you that the Ladies
Missionary Society Circle 5 of the
M. E. Church are going to put on an
entertainment under that title at
the Opera House in the very near
future, it will sound better, wont it.
Married for Money" is in three of
the funniest acts you ever saw, and
is composed of some of the very best
local "Thespians," and to say that
the entertainment will be one grand
glorious success will be putting it
mildly. But the main feature of
the show will be the big beauty cho-
rus composed of young society ladies
of Union City who will sing their
way right into your heartt with all
new songs. The affair is being per-
sonally directed by Mr.. and Mrs. "
S. Murphy who tell us that it will
be just about the best thing ever
attempted in Union City in local
way. So keep your eye open for the
date. Come out, laugh as you never
laughed before, help good cause, as
the proceeds go to the M. E. Church.

without seeking to avoid just re-
sponsibility for what the officers or
employees Of the railroad do or omit,
whose carelessness causes an acct
dent is, in the public interest, subject
to discipline which affects his liveli-
hood, 1t is probably fair to say that
a large proportion of these accidents
happened solely through the careless
ness of the drivers of automobiles,
or their lack Of experience in dealing
with vehicles at high speed. There
are among them also we'll authenticat-
ed cases of deliberate assumption of
risk by the drivers Of automobiles
from pure love of excitement and
speed, evidenced by racing with trains
and seeking the thrill of a narrow es-
cape. Our enginemen report such &C.
currences daily. II fortunately they
are without fatal consequences in the
great majority of cases, they are al
ways paid for by heavy strain on
the nerves of all concerned, particu-
larry those of the locomotive engineer,
who maintains speed from duty and
not for fun. 1t is not too much to
claim for the locomotive engineer q
larger equipment of experience and a
greater habit of precaution than the
average automobile driver. AS class
the locomotive engineers are sober,
steady and conservative men of long
experience in meeting and avoiding
risks, for theirs is dangerous occu-
patton. Their every effort of charac-
ter, of instruction and of interest is
to avoid an accident. Most of the ac-
cidents to automobiles at railway
grade crossings could be avoided If
there was the same restraint of ex-
perience and attention at the wheel
Of the automobile as at the throttle
of the locomotive.

TENDER CORDS ARE BROKEN
Gentle Spirit Of Young Mother
Takes Its Flight.

Death is rarely more sad or distress
ling than when a sweet and beautiful
young wife, who for the first time has
brought into existence a new life, is
suddenly called to the elysian shores
above. 1t is therefore with tenderness
and intense feeling of sorrow, reflective
OF the deep sentiment felt throughout
this community. that we record the
death of Mrs. Mabel Griffin Hender
son, the lovely and beloved young wife
of DR.. M. w. Henderson, whose bride
she became just one year ago.
The end came Sunday night, August
10, at IL O'Clock, after critical illness
of several days. During this anxious
watch at her bedside there were rallying
periods that gave hope for her recovery,
proving futile at last when her tired
eyes closed to open again in the brighter
and happier world beyond this veil of
tears.
Mrs. Henderson came to this city to
make her home in October last and by
her gracious and gentle mein, true
womanly instinct and bearing, enhanced
by culture, geniality and refinement,
and an innate goodness that drew all
people to her, she won many friends
and admirers to whom her untimely
death is shock and grief. She was
devoted member OF the Baptist Church.
Deceased was "a years of age and
native OF Union City, being the daugh-
ter of the late w. HI. Griffin, promi-
nent and widely known newspaper man.
She is survived by her mother and hus-
band and two weeks babe.
Her remains were taken to Union
City for funeral services and burial.
DR.. Henderson was accompanied by
several of his friends. The sympathy
of all in this community go out to him
and his darling babe in the great loss
sustained. -Murfreesboro News Banner.

Death of Mrs. Mary Davis.

Mrs Mary Brandon Davis, widow
of the late Mr.. Cato Davis, ST., died
at the home of her son, G. A. Davis,
Jr., in Union City on Friday morn
ing, Aug. 20, 1915, at 1880 o'clock,
after an. illness of ten days due to
tubercular trouble.
Mrs. Davis was a sister of the late
Judge Andrew Lawson. She was
born Nov. %, 1889, in Middle Ten
nessee, and the last survivor of a
family of twelve. Mrs. Davis was
about ten or eleven years of age
when the family moved to Obion
County. In 1856 she was married
to Mr.. Davis, and eleven children
blessed the union, one dying in in
fancy and ten living to be grown.
OF these there are six surviving aas
follows: l. H. Davis, Nashville; w.
P. Davis, Jackson; Mrs. Mary Jen-
kins, Ripley; Cato Davis, Jr., Union
City; John Davis, Roswell, New
Mexico; Ripley Davis, Garland, Tex
as.
The death of Mr.. Davis, ST.,
took place several years ago.
Mrs. Davis was member of the
Methodist Church. She embraced
Christianity at a tender age before
the family came to West Tennessee,
and when they settled in the vi
entity of Woodland Mills she Joined
Salem church, of which she remained
a member until death
For number of years since the
death of Mr.. Davis, Mrs. Davis has
been a resident in the home of her
son-in-law, DR.. G.. B. Burrus, at
Woodland, and she had just come
to visit her son in Union City when
overtaken with serious illness.
Like her illustrious brother, Mrs.
Davis was endowed with intellectual
and social gifts which distinguished
and endeared her to those among
whom she lived The qualities Of
heart and mind, the graces of soul
and character, the sacrifices, devo-
tions, the beauty of her whole life,
all bear witness of her splendid wo-
manhood.
Mrs. Davis was all that a good
mother and a good woman could be,
and the sweet spirit takes it's flight
from earth to heaven, to await the
coming of loved ones.
We tender our kindest coincidence
to the bereaved.
A short service was conducted at
the residence of Mr.. Davis on Main
street Saturday morning at 8 o'clock
by Revs. Culpepper and Armstrong,
and at II o'clock Rev. H. A. Butts
conducted service at Salem church
which was attended by a large num-
Der of friends and neighbors. In
