The Covenant.

The Covenant Of the League OF
Nations is omitted from the Repub-

long, or not interesting.
TIE Covenant is not lengthy doc
ument; it takes less than ten pages
of the Democratic textbook. 1t is
about as much as ten pages of an or
dinary novel

COUNTY COURT
APPROPRIATION
FOR GIBBS LEvEE
Appropriation Of Two Thousand Dol
lars Allowed by the Court.

Confronted with appropriations
piling up by the thousands and by
the perplexing problem of taxation,
the Obion County Court, at its quar-
terly session last Tuesday, recognized
the work that is being done by the
people of Union City and community
and the liberality shown in the en-
tcrprise Of constructing first-class
public highway from Union City to
Gibbs. and conceded the point that
the court must meet it's obligations
in constructing suitable levee on
that road in the Grove Creek bottom,
and make an ample appropriation for
that purpose. The resolution was
therefore offered by Justice Bratton
that an appropriation not exceeding
$4,000 be allowed by the County
Court for the said leyee and that
Jake Caldwell and Hugh Smith be
appointed commissioners to superin-
tend the construction of same.
A reception was given to the mem
bers of the County Court at the Elks
Home and dinner served by the. la
dies of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, one of the most substantial
and wholesome and complete in ev-
cry way enjoyed in Union City Over
thirty members of the court were
present. Addresses were made by
DR.. Turner, president of The Lions
Club, by DR.. Henry oliver and by
Rev. R. A. Clark, all on the subject
of good roads in Obion County and
particularly on the Gibbs road, all
very timely and convincing logic
concerning the needs of good roads
in Obion County. Judge Bratton sup
piemented these remarks with the
thanks of the court to the ladies OF
the Cumberland Presbyterian: Church
for one of their famous dinners. To
the ladies he paid the incest compli-
ments for the way they prove them
selves more than equal to the de-
mands of these occasions and for
their delightful presence and atten-
tion.
After the speaking cars were left
at the door.and members of the court
were taken out over the new road for
a view OF the work in progress and
the development of the road as far as
the work is completed.
1t was indeed sight to witness
the long Stretch of new roadway fifty
feet wide and on straight line from
one END to the other. The party re-
turned and the court convened with
the result as above stated. The res
olution did not pass without con-
test, but no one opposed the main
question the construction of the
lcvee. There Was simply a difference
of opinion as to the cost of same.
DR.. Turner announced before the
meeting at the Elks Home was adj
journed that the Lions Club would
send committee to Obion this even
ing to meet with Obion people rela-
tive to good roads, and Mr.. Bob Fox
has informed us that he will meet
the delegation and entertain with
refreshments. 1t is intended to visit
other portions of the county on the
same mission and announcements
will be made from time to time OF
the movements of the committee.
