LIONS BARBECUE
AT TOURISTS CAMP
Lions and Families to Lunch Next
Tuesday Afternoon.

At the meeting of the Lions Club
last Tuesday the question of an out
| ing and picnic was proposed and a
decision was finally reached to go to
the tourists camp south of town for
lunch at $50 pm. instead of the
noon hour.
1t is stated that the camp is now
equipped for tourists with water and
light connections and arrangements
for other accommodations.
A suggestion was made in regard
to finding homes for people wishing
to locate in Union City. 1t is state !
that there are no vacant houses and
that it is hard to find rooms of any
kind for rent. This matter SHOULD
have the attention of all concerned.
We are soliciting boarding pupils for
the City High School and there
should be some way to find accom-
modations for these people.
There are others who are looking
for homes in Union City and it IS
matter that concerns lumbermen,
carpenters, masons, real estate people
and many others as we'll as the pub
lie schools.
If no other way to get at the mat
ter is found maybe the Union City
Savings and Loan Association could
start something. 1t is important. We
cannot grow without homes. There
are no doubt number of rooms thac
can be offered to high school pupils
but these rooms will have to be reg
istered with the superintendent of
the schools, Mr.. Ranck, and the
school board.
Of course we have coal and rail
strike troubles to contend with, but
we cannot afford to wait for fair
weather for everything.

SUBURBAN PLANTS CLOSED.
The Ford plants in Detroit's sub :
urbs were closed for a number of
weeks during the industrial depres-
sion nearly two years ago. Mr.. Ford
was one of the first manufacturers
to shut down at that time, declaring
that economic conditions forbade con-
tinuance of operations. He was the
first Detroit automobile manufacturer
to resume, however
He reopened with comparatively
small number of workmen, adding to
them rapidly. For time he placed
the men on three-day- week basis
in order that suffering might be re-
lieved among his employees. Later,
as conditions improved, the employ
ment figures rose to the height at
tained during the peak period" days
following the war. At present, it is
said, the company is manufacturing
automobiles and tractors at a greater
rate than ever before in its history.
Announcement Of the closing came
as distinct shock to the people of
Detroit. Announcement was made
recently that Mr.. Ford had installed
oil-burning furnaces at one of his
plants as an experiment and the
hope was held by many workmen
that the Ford company could weather
the coal shortage. 1t developed, to-
day, however that only the furnaces
in the machine shops had been con-
verted into oil burners.
The Ford plants, in the aggregate,
constitute Michigan's greatest indus
try, from the standpoint of employ
ment and as such are among the
largest in the country. Business
men and manufacturers here were
unanimous that the closing of these
plants might have far-reaching eff
fects on the national economic stu.

In Memory of DR.. ]. Brien Anderson

| Al AAOAbLSAJ VA 49, ~ 0A4SAL HASAhNA pOA1s
DR.. J. Brien ALkerson was born
April 18, 1868, in Rutherford County.
Tenn. EARLY in life he Joined the
Presbyterian Church near his home
and about year ago he united with
the Baptist Church here.
| On Thanksgiving Day in 1897 he
was united in marriage to Mrs. Sallie
GULL. They lived for two years on
farm near Smyrna, Tenn, then they
came to Rives, Tenn, where they
spent eleven years. Later they moved
to Union City and for twelve years
they have worked in our midst as low
ing christians and faithful citizens.
DR.. Adkerson's health has been
failing for about two years and his
many friends have anxiously watched
his brave fight hoping that he would
er plans for him and on last Sun
| day at o'clock at Dawson Springs,
KY, where he had gone hoping to
be benefited, death claimed our be-
loved brother and DR.. Anderson left
this world of suffering and sorrow to
enter the pearly gates into Paradise
where he is now member of the
Choir Invisible.
He leaves an aged mother, his be-
loved wife, two sisters, Mrs. Kate
Faxon, Hopkinsville, KY, Mrs. ]. T. |
Bradford, San Antonio, Texas; two
brothers, George Adkerson, Franklin,
Tenn, Clinton Adkerson, Granger.
Texas, and host of friends to
mourn his departure.
DR.. Adkerson loved his church and /
was ever willing to help with the
song service or in any way he could. !
He loved his home and he loved his |
practice. Many parents here and in
neighboring vicinities feel that DR..
Adkerson was instrumental in saving
the life of some dear one of theirs.
Truly his life has been one of service
to others.
We all feel that our dear brother
is having sweet converse with the
Master he loved so well. How grand
the idea of place where praise only
breaks the silence, where nothing jars
the melody of the entire chime, where
the roll of the pealing hallelujahs is
like the voice of many waters, where
everyone hath a song, story of de-
liverance, tribute of thanksgiving
to free sovereign grace, yet in every
one there is reference to the bless
ings that come alone through the
death of Jesus. Such place is the
future home of all Gods chill
dren. Such a place is the home
of our dear brother. "Oh! how
happy are they who die in the
Lord. Guarded by angelic watchers,
curtained by eternal mysteries, they
sleep on, heritors of glory, till the
fullness of time brings the fullness
Of redemption. What an awakening
shall be theirs" Our brother was
laid in his last resting place, wasted
by disease, emaciated in form, but
such he shall not rise. A prominent
physician has gone from us, but we
can truly say, "He rests from his :
abors and his works do follow him" :
