0bion Presbytery.

The Obion Presbytery of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church met at
Bells Chapel, four miles west of
Rutherford, Tenn, in Gibson County,
at IL o'clock a. m. Tuesday, Septem-
Der IT, 1918. The opening sermon
was, preached by Rev. T. A. Devore,
of Fulton KY, the retiring modera-
tor. After the opening sermon the
Presbytery was called to order and
the first item of business to be at
tended to was the election of mod
orator, which resulted in the election
of Elder J. w. BuEney, of the Union
City congregation.
After the noo~ hour was over and
most inviting luncheon was served
on the campus to all present, the
usual committees were appointed by
the moderator and stated clerk, Rev.
w. B. Cunningham, with the addi-
ton of "war work" committee with
DR.. T. Ashburn, of Dyersburg, as
chairman. There was good attend
ance of both ministers and -eldedrs.
The greatest spirit. of fraternity and
good fellowship prevailed during the
entire two days of the meeting. At
the evening hour DR.. Ashburn gave
the Presbytery and visitors most
thrilling and heart touching sermon,
such as the Doctor is able to give.
Thirty minutes the next morning
was given over to the usual devotion
al exercises, led by Rev. e. Rueb in
his usual happy and interesting man
ner. The report of the various COM
mittees showed that a deep sense of
earnestness pervaded Obion Presby-
terry underlying which was evident
greater awakening than ever be-
fore for the abiding presence of the
Great l Am, and never before have
we seen as much spirituality during
the entire meeting than we saw on
this occasion. At the II o'clock hour
on the second day Rev. R. E. White
preached most excellent sermon on
the subject of Regeneration" and
1t touched the hearts of all present.
After the sermon Rev. ]. A. Nell
vain administered the sacrament and
gave to his hearers a soul-stirring
exhortation, filled with deep pathos
ers. Revs. R. A. Keathley and j. A.
Self, formerly of this Presbytery,
came back to their first love and we
were glad to have them. Rev. W.

welcome visitor, rs was also the Rev.

FALSE AND INJURIOUS
RUMORS ABOUT BUSINESS
Merchants of Union City are Sub
jected to Unjust Criticism.

Jected to Unjust Criticism.
We are told by some of our lead
ing merchants that there is propa-
ganda afioat calculated to injure the
merchants of Union City. 1t is spread
probably by some malicious tongue
who has personal grudge to graft
fly. In a general way the merchants
here are charged with profteering
and the rumor has gone out that
some of them have been arrested.
Specifically it is said that they
are selling shoes that cost Sc for $14,
and other articles are quoted in
something like the same ratio. Now
we are reliably informed that there
has been no arrests whatever made
and no indications of an arrest. AS
to the selling of pair of shoes that
cost Sc for $14 there is absolutely
no truth in the report, either as to
cost price or to selling price.
We have not investigated the mat
ter as to details, but we do know
that shoes are selling in Union City
on an equality in price with most
all the towns we have visited. In the
cities they are selling even higher
than in Union City. We have in
vestigated the mems shoes, and find
that the high-grade brands are sell
ing a little higher in the principal
stores of Memphis and Nashville than
in Union City.
Many other articles, of course, we
know nothing about, but of the item
of mems shoes we have as good a
knowledge as the average man, and
they are sold in Union City no high
er, as a general rule, than they are
sold in other towns in West Ten
nessee or in any of the States.
AS far as we know they may be
sold some cheaper than b in many
places, but we pledge our readers
that they are sold no higher.
In dealing with these rumors
please be kind enough to give the
matter test before anyone is criti-
cised.

CITY SCHOOL NEWS.

The following article in substance
went the rounds of the exchange
some years ago as showing the value
of an education in dollars and cents:
A salary of $50 per month would
be regarded as rather liberal as an
average for a person with no educa-
tion whatever. This would amount
to $500 a year, and counting an
earning life as 40 years, the illiterate
person would earn $4,000 in life
time.
Now the person with good high
school education can reasonably ex-
pect an average salary of 500 per
month Taking the country over and
averaging in the great number of
persons whose salaries rum up into
the thousands and tens of thousands
annually, we believe 500 month
quite low This salary, $1,000 a
year for an earning life of 40 years,
amounts to $4,000 as the life time
earnings of the educated person.
The difference, therefore, between
the life time earnings of the edu-
Gated and uneducated amounts to
$4,000 in favor of the educated man
or woman.
Now what has this education that
is worth $4,000 really cost? There
are 20 school days in month and
100 school days in year. The aver
age child, by attending school ITS
days a year will get good high
school education in IL years or 2,100
school days. If his education has
cost him 2,100 days work and is
worth $4,000, what has each day in
school been worth? Let the children
figure it up and then decide whether
it is good business to let them stay
out of school for any cause whatever
except sickness. When the boy has
company or wants to go hunting or
visiting, or has chance to earn
fifty cents or dollar by staying out
of school, let us ask ourselves: Is
this good business?
But someone may say, 20, my
child is brighter than the average;
he will earn more than any 500 a
month" Then we say every day in
school is worth more to him than it
is to the average child. Calculate
what day would be worth to him
if his education helped him to earn
5000 a month or $1,000 a month.
Besides, a money value is not the
only value. Most persons would
agree that it is not even the biggest
value.
Now count up what our schools
are worth when they are providing
education for over 500 children. You
will find their value running around
$4,000 a day. They are costing about
500 day. What business in town
is bringing as great return?
Calculate the difference between
what the teacher is producing and
what she is getting. 1t will be right
interesting as an exercise in num-
