LIONS LUNCH THIS
WEEK AT THE GEM
Large Number Make First Visit to
New Dining Room.

The new building addition to the
Gem Cafe on First street in Union
City, opened on the first Monday in
September, was the meeting place
last Tuesday of the Lions Club.
There was large attendance OF
Lions on this occasion. It seems thar
it has been a custom of the Lions
Club of Union City to show no ia
voritism in it's patronage, and there
fore moves it's headquarters for pc
riod of time from one place to anoth-
err usually where lunch is served.
Everybody seems to have kind
word for the new Gem Cafe, for the
enterprise exhibited in the construc-
tion of the handsome new building,
and for the convenience, luxury and
taste displayed in the dining room.
1t is said to be one of the finest to
be found in any of the smaller cities.
It really exceeds anything of the
kind hereabouts, in this part of the
State, as far as we know, as a mod
ern restaurant, and the accommoda-
tions are in keeping with the insti-
tuition.
The Gem has already had an en-
viable reputation for preparing and
serving the best meals. This is now
done in an attractive new dining
room, with everything in white and
model of neatness and cleanliness,
the tables and equipment of the most
approved design and style. Mr.. and
Mrs. R. G. Hamilton, the proprietors,
are in charge personally, which is
an additional feature Of the Gem.
On this occasion of the Lions meet
ing DR.. Turner, the president, re-
ferred to the handsome new quarters
with congratulations both to the pro-
prietors and the Lions.
Proceeding to business, the COM
mittee on financing the motor tour
lists camp was asked to report, and
asking to be discharged, another
committee was appointed to complete
unfinished work as follows: Fenner
Heathcock, Fred Dahnke, E. P. Wad-
dell.
Mr.. Howell Bransford made a re-
port concerning the Rives road-im-
provement of the highway parallel
ing the railroad. The matter was
discussed by Messrs. Rust, Smith,
Oliver and others, and finally a mo-
tion by Mr.. Oliver that committee
be appointed to confer with the Rives
with reference to the fact
that the Lions cooperation was
based on the proposition that the
road was to be made standard width.
J. c. Burdick, Jr., called up the
looking to the improve
ment of the water and light plant.
It seems that new enterprise is seek I
ing investment here, and that the
plant is now carrying full load. Not
more than five years ago the plant ,
was enlarged, but we have grown up !
% the improvements and our busi- !
less calls for more. We understand /,
hat new engine and new dynamo :
Ire both needed, with probably addi- 4
ional pumping and other apparatus. =
