To Construct Sanatorium.

DR.. H. w. Qualls, of this city, has
purchased the Grissom lot adjoining
the Elks Home directly opposite the
courthouse at the intersection OF
Washington and Second streets. The
size of the ground is SO by 100, and
we understand, as soon as the wealth
er and other conditions are suitable,
will begin the erection of a sana-
torium in Union City, place where
patients may have the best nursing
and attention, and where other physi-
clans will be freely according all
the privileges of practice. The
sanatorium will be constructed with
modern onveniences, sanitation,
ventilation and improvements. At
this particular time, when air trans
portation is assured here, arrange
mcnts will be made also for the calls
of surgical specialists in cases where
it is demanded, who will come at
moments notice in the Government
planes. DR.. Qualls has been doing
an immense practice in Union City
and he proposes to be in the forward
movement of conditions which are
sure to follow in the reconstruction
period.

J. D. Palmer Hurt.

The many friends of the splendid
citizen, j. D. Palmer, were sorry tC
hear of the accident, which nearly
cost him permanent injury last week
With another gentleman he had
crossed the street at the intersection
of Washington and Second streets,
and hearing the signal from an auto,
turned back into the street Just at
this time another car driven by Miss
Floy Kirby was approaching, too
close for Mr.. Palmer to get out of
the way, Mr.. Palmer's attention was
unfortunately given to the wrong car
and he ran in front of Mr.. Kirby's
car. 1t is said that Miss Kirby, see
ing Mr.. Palmer, stopped her car in
the space of few feet, but was I'M
able to prevent striking him, and
he fell to the street. When he was
picked up and taken to the physi-
clans office his injuries were found
to consist of abrasions and bruises to
considerable extent, but no frac-
lures, serious or permanent injuries,
and yesterday we learn from Mr..
Palmer that he was feeling almost
recovered with the exception of his
left limb, which is still sore.

The Red Cross Entertainment.

The entertainment and recital Civ.
en- at Reynolds Theatre last Thurs
day night by Misses Allie B. Camp,
bell, Ina Mailing, Willie Belle Mays
and Rosa Sullivan was decidedly a
social and artistic triumph.
The theatre was packed from pit
to dome, and every number was re-
ceived with unreserved enthusiasm.
A program of the recital appeared
in the paper last week, including
song numbers by Miss Mailing, read
ing by Miss Campbell, violin and
piano by Miss Mays and Miss Sulli-
van. The entire audience seemed to
be truly carried away.
Everyone knows the popularity of
these local entertainers, and it can
be said that the first thought in at
tending was the anticipation of a
genuine treat and then the serving
of a patriotic duty in contributing
to the Red Cross.
The evenings receipts amounted
to $14O, quite a nice sum, most of
which is Melted to the Obion County
Chapter of the Red Cross.
