Russia has bowed to the Teutonic
allies. The Bolshevik commissioners
sent to Brcst-Litovsk have signed the
treaty Of peace presented by the Ger
mans. according to an official state
ment from Berlin, which adds that
military movements in Great Russia
have ceased The Bolsheviki said
they realized that any further delay
would mean more onerous conditions
and they would sign the treaty with
out further discussions. In the in
terval between the breaking up of
the first Brest-Litovsk meeting and
the one held late last week, the Cen
trail Powers added materially to the
demands Turkey was the bene-
ficiary of these changes in the peace
terms. The new demand included
that Russia relinquish the region OF

was citizen whose type molds the
character of the community. He was
a farmer and made this the vocation
OF his life. charging upon his work
as it contributed to his home life
and to the growth aad uplift of the
people among whom he dwclt. He
took an active interest in the church
and schools. and also observed a
commendable spirit in his relation to
the various public and political mat
tiers which concern every good citi-
zen. There are Numbers Of in

the friendship and esteem of good
men. He manifested these things
in way never to be forgotten. He
believed in the gospel ut is more

there are those who can truthfully
attest to this fact. Mr.. Latimer was
a devoted husband and father, kind
friend, good citizen, in all the sta

highest standards of manhood. His
passing is mourned by his people,
his family is sorely hcrcaved.

Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The board met in regular session
last Tuesday night and took up the
question of fuel. Messrs. John T.
Walker, Joe Fry and others Of the
fuel board were present and discuss
cd the situation. 1t wac decided that
somebody would have to contract for
about $500 cords of wood, that
amount being necessary to give the
people of Union City enough fuel
next winter. The State Fuel Admin
istrator allows citizens to buy half
the usual supply of coal for the win
ter. It takes about $50 cars of coal
to supply Union City and its people
near by for one winter. The allow
ance therefore will be IT'S cars Of
coal, and balance in wood to make
up for the deficiency will have to be
secured.
The committee reported that wood
could be bought fob. cars for SO a
cord, and the idea now is to get some
organized body, If no others,
then the city to contract for the
wood and get it at reasonable figures.
OF course the public will have to
pay the freight and a margin for.
handling the wood.
In opening the board meeting
Mayor Pittman made some remarks,
among others that he had not i'm
vestigatcd the matter, but it was
suggested to him that the city should
buy the fair grounds and keep them
for public use as o reserve for either
fair grounds, chautauqua or other
purposes. He stated that he was
making some efforts to get the speed
limit laws in Union City enforced.
He had already caused some arrests
to be made, and expected to continue
until there is some respect for the
laws of the city. He asked the other
members of the board to cooperate
with him.
Messrs. d. A. Pceler and j. ".
Hefloy were present and made com
plant about the piling of cinders in
the street or alley to their rear OF
their residences that it made drain

asked the board to make provisions

shoppers against the dirt and dust of |

act upon the request with plans for
