Death of Mrs. Rittie Harper.

/
Mr. Rittie Harper died at home il
) the vicinity of Beech Sunday after
noon, June IA, 1922, at $3.50 o'clock
after an illness which had it's incep
ton in an attack of pneumonia dur.
ing the early part of winter.
Mrs. Harper was sister of Mrs
Emma Glover and Mr.. Austin Maupin
who survive her. She was born March
%, 1841, and on January /, 1851,
she was married to Mr.. Smith Lati-
mer. Of this union there were two
children, viz: w. H. Latimer and
Mrs. Bobbie Hale. Mrs. Hale is the
wife of Mr.. Ben Hale, Hickman, KY.
Mr.. Smith Latimer, husband of the
| deceased, enlisted in the service of
the Confederacy and lost his life for
the Southland On January "a, 1872,
Mrs. Latimer was married to Mr.. Sam
Harper. To this union one child was
born, viz: Walter H. Harper. Sam
Harper died some years ago. The
three children and the brother and
sister named above are the immediate
surviving relatives.
Mrs. Harper professed faith in the
christian religion at an early age
and joined the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church at Beech, where she
resided during the years of a long
useful life.
So ends the earthly pilgrimage of
another one of Gods chosen people
There is other but no better assur-
ance of this than the words: COME
unto me all We that labor and are
heavy laden and I will give you rest. II
Mrs. Harper committed her life to the
service of the Lord. She was wom-
an of many graces of mind and soul.
She was devoted to those whom God
had given to her keeping and in turn
they worshiped the good woman. Her
passing leaves the wounds of separa-
tion, but in a glorified state she is
welcomed by those who have passed |
over the river, and there she awaits
to welcome those who are to come in
the hereafter. Blessings to her mem
DRY.
Services were held at Beech Church
Monday, conducted by the pastor and
the remains were inferred at Beech
Cemetery.

Ball Game.

The ball game last Friday at the
park did not seem to change the play
ing status to any great extent. II
anything the Christians seemed to
be going better, while the Methodists
were not able to hold their own. The
score. was IA to 2 in favor of the
Christians. Interest in the games
seems to hold good AS we stated
before there is some good ball talent
in Union City, and with a little sys-
tematic drilling it can be made to
tell in much more interesting ball
playing. People ordinarily like good
ball, but they do not enjoy the games
unless the players are sufficiently in
terested to go in the game with a lit
tie training to keep them fit.

Early Cocklebur.

Mr.. Turner Joyner left young
cocklebur stalk in our office last
week, bearing ten we'll developed
burs. The stalk was short but the
burs were of the usual size when ma
tured This is somewhat novelty
at this season of the year. Burs do
not usually mature until short
time before frost, and hence the stalk
attracted some interest. The stalk
came from Bogey Hollow.

industry first OF all in the world. I
do not want any American industry
destroyed to build up some other in
foreign lands.
An illustration was brought TO the
attention OF some members of con-
grcss the other day. OF imports being
brought into the United States be-
cause OF conditions in the old world.
Let me make you Hypothetical fig
ure. Imports were brought in and
with the tariff added on a single ar.
ticle, the first cost OF which was, we
will say. Is cents, the article was
priced to sell to the American con-
sumer at IS. That is a eommerc.
without conscience.
Complaints Expected.
"You cannot be astonishcd that
there is complaint from both Ameri-
Can producer and consumer. You
cannot afford to destroy American
industry to facilitate an importing
trade like that. You cannot afford
to have international exchange OF a
destructive character.
did you ever stop to think how
commerce originated? Primitive
man was not concerned about it. He
only dug into the soil which nature
left at his disposal and. produced suf-
ficiently to sustain himself and those
for whom he was responsible. In a
little while. one man found that he
could produce conveniently more
than he needed for himself along
some lines. Another produced some
thing else more effectively than he
needed for his own consumption.
$50 II is with international trade.
We want to trade with the world. I
believe is is possible to trade with
the world without any destruction of
American productivity. I wish for.
such an arrangement. Let Us sell
things that Americans can produce
advantageously to those who cannot
produce them. Let US buy the things
that they have to sell to us and which
we do not produce.
Must Be Contented.
"Out of such exchanges come
righteous relationship and balances
Of trade and the continued forward
movement of the great human pro-
cession. While we are marching in
that procession. it is always wise to
keep in mind those who have diff.

thing Of luxury as we'll as the neces-

zenship comes patriotic citizenship.
In the combination of these things

1T has exposed the variety. nature

Europe is suffering" Mr.. Yanderlip
said, "but has performed no surgical
operation and has administered no
important dose of medicine"
Owing to the prohibition against
discussion of more importan: sub
jects in the conference" the cable
gram said, "the economic significance
of Russia has been absurdly en-
phasized." Mr.. Vanderlip added that
unless Strong craftsmanship COM
PEELED a reasonable attitude on the

plots and Significant increasing
prices promise great social hardship
which may result in revolutionary
outbreaks"
After reviewing actions taken at
the conference and interpreting them
from the viewpoint OF international
relations, Mr.. Vanderlip added that
the attitude Of the American govern
ment with respect to Europe has been
so eminently wise that feel like
trusting the administration fully and
that we had better not embarrass it
