UNIQUE,,WEDDING
AT PALACE HOTEL
Rites Solemnized in Presence of Not.

Rites Solemnized in Presence of Not
able Gathering.
The following invitations wer,
mailed last week by the Lions Clut
of Union City:
Mr.. and Mrs. Obion County
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of
their daughter
Miss Diversified Farming
Mr.. Growing Interest Commerce
Wedding to be solemnized
Tuesday evening, December Thirteen
at seven thirty
in the dining room of the
Palace Hotel
Union City, Tennessee.
Quite an elaborate arrangement,
but no more so than the company of
ladies and gentl ,men who graced the
occasion, nor the banquet prepared
The dining room was filled with
long tables and when the Lions and
their friends were seated, something
like hundred places were occupied.
The long list of speakers included
Hob. F. L. Peck, Commissioner of
Agriculture of Tennessee, DR.. Weber,
of Paducah, Mr.. John Fuller, of
Nashville, Gen. Thos o. Morris, Mr..
Sam Shatz, of Kenton, Judge Sam
Bratton, DR.. F.. M. McRee and others.
The more salient points brought out
were that we have a very rich coun-
try but we cannot compete with the
Middle West and Northwest in pro-
ducing cereals from the fact that
they have large bodies of land culti-
waited with immense machinery, and
the cost of farming is proportionate-
1y less than it is here with limited
equipment and smaller acreage. We
need diversified agriculture, but we
need more than anything else to in
vite class of citizens who are famil-
lar with trucking and to slice up our
farms and sell or let them in small
tracts for this purpose. In other
words we need to colonize our coun-
try with q hardy race, of people ac-
customed to Investigation. and this
must be done with small farms.
The wedding was an interesting
event. The principals were brought
in, Mr.. Ben Howard as best man to
Mr.. Growing Interest Commerce and
Mr.. MILFORD Farris as best friend of
Miss Diversified Farming. The rites
were solemnizezd by Pastor Baker,
and it was happy combination of
interdependent interests. The we'd
ding march was played by Miss
Louise Adams.
The whole affair was credit to
the genius of the Lions Club.
