FIRST LETTER THROUGH
FROM A GERMAN HOME

We give below some short extracts
from a letter just received by Mr..
Henry Meinert from relatives in Ger
many, it being the first news that he
has had of them in nearly three years.
1t contained the said news of the
death of Mr.. Meinert's sister in Janu-
airy, 1917, and briefly recites some of
the privations and sufferings of
German family, not approving the
war, but forced to take part by their
own government.
Hamburg, Germany,
August oath, 1919.
Ny dear Uncle:
Your letter of June % came Aug
ust % The letter was sent from
Merne ION the Kiel Canal, in North
ern Germany because our dear moth
err (Mr. Meinert's sister, died in
January, 1917. She was really not
sick, but grew weaker and weaker,
partly from age, but more from worry
over this dreadful war have
five children. My husband had to go
to France at the beginning of the war.
He is at home now, thank God, but his
nerves are shattered, and he has heart
failure. The children have to help
us in our work Everything is so high
and expensive. We have suffered in
expressibly for want of eatables. :.
Now we can get butter, but is is $3.50
to $3.50 per pound. We now get an
American compound (Oleo) for S1.25
per pound, and bacon for 1926, and
other things in proportion
/ hope | will hear from you again,
dear uncle, for you are the only rela-
tive we have left, all the others hav-
ing been killed in the war.
Your niece,
ANNA UNI LAND.

new names to the agriculturalist re-
personalities to the capital and labor

Obituary.

We are requested to state in JUS
tice to the family and friends few
facts in regard to the death of J. N.
Bradshaw, who died on the oath of
September at the home of John Las
ter at Hornbeak, Tenn. The notice
at the time of the funeral read that
Mr.. Bradshaw died at Elbridge at
the age of IS years.
Mr.. Bradshaw was born August 8,
1889, therefore little more than 80
years of age-one month and twenty
days. He had been in failing health
for a year or more, but was improv-
ing some after a visit to Memphis,
whittier he went for treatment. He
resumed his work here at milling, but
again suffered decline in health and
went to Hornbeak. There he passed
away in the home of Mr.. Laster.
Mr.. Bradshaw enlisted from his
Middle Tennessee home in the Con-
federacy and served thruout the per-

The Cambridge Players.

Evidently the chautauQua, the Ii
terary and music clubs, or something
else has exerted an influence over
the people of Union City. There was
a reversal last Monday night of the
usual customs prevailing among
our people in regard to their pre-
objections for amusement. Actually
every seat at Reynolds Theatre was
filled while on Washington avenue,
few yards away, big carnival and
street fair was in progress and Col.
w. l. SWANS show was in full blast
on the Lyon lot. And at the theatre
we had the classic, Richard Brinsley
Sheridans 1.-THE Rivals" by small
company of lyceum people. ut is a
long, long way to "Tipperary," and a
long road from Bohemia to the Hall
of Fame, but we are on our way.
1t is not intended to leave the i'm
preston that Union City was cropping
in intellectual darkness any more
than many other smaller cities-the
larger ones not excepted. In fact
remember only few years ago in
little old New York when the must
cal extravaganza and burlesque
theatres were crowded, while Sir
Johnston Forbes Robertson was play
ing Hamlet and .'The Passing of the

Third Floor Back" to empty seats.
The ultra theatrical pabulum, such
as "The Blue Bird and "A Dolls
House." have not even yet secured
a firm foothold in the cities. New
York has, however, become the Nee
ca of grand opera, once supreme in
Paris.
But the world is moving, and it
is indeed gratifying to good taste
and Judgment when the good is Sc
parated from the dross and served
to receptive public.
The small company of players here
Monday night appeared in the cos
tunes of the period and gave us
a very interesting Interpretation of
the Rivals" which for many years
was one of the celebrated Joe JEFF
ferson's headliners. 1t reminded us,
not in the way of comparison, but
of the polished wit and courtly
speech Of the author so impressively
brought out in an all-star cast, with
Joe Jefferson as Bob Acres, Mrs.
John Drew as Mrs. Malaprop, Julia
Marlowe as Lydia Languish, Nat
Goodwin as Sir Lucius O'Trigger

Elder Carney Resigns.

Newborn, Tenn, Oct. 19.-Elder
T. M. Carney of Union City, Tenn,
who has been serving the Churchton
Christian Church, at Churchton, four
miles east of Newborn, for the past
four years, has rendered his resig-

where he will go at an early date.
