Organ Recital.

A very large audience Of Union
City people and others from many of
the neighboring towns was present
at the recital given at the Methodist
Church last Monday night by DR..
Minor Baldwin.
This is the second visit of the Gel
ebrated organist to Union City and
his reception was in the way of an
ovation. The program was interest
ing, and, as before it was closed with
"The Storm in the Mountains"
masterpiece of musical composition,

A number of DR.. Baldwin's own
compositions were heard. DR.. Bald
win seems to be in better physical
condition than he was before. His
performance was somewhat smoother,
and the auditors were delighted
with the recital.

BIG DRIVE BRINGS
$4,000 IN TWO DAYS
Approximately Half of the Subscrip-
tions to the Shoe Factory.

The big drive last Thursday by
the organization headed by Director
Rust and Adjutant Oliver resulted in
an unprecedented subscription of
approximately $4,000.
While the manager and a few Of
his friends probably expected to do
bigger things than this, it was indeed
the biggest thing ever put over in
Union City-$50,00O in two days
campaign
Just think that it takes weeks and
months to get results with cam
paign in Nashville for two or three
hundred thousand dollars, and Union
City, with one-twentieth of the pop
ulation and probably fiftieth part
of the wealth, completes $4,000
job in two days.
This achievement is still more re-
markable from the fact that this is
the hardest time we have had to raise
money. Union City has passed thru
some of the greatest reverses in its
history and is just beginning to- re-
cover. These things make it re-
markable feat to raise $4,000 in two
days.
But with all this the leaders of
the movement are not satisfied They
believe that if those who are really
able had subscribed in proportion 10
their means the whole of the $780,
600 needed would have been raised in
two days
AS usual some of our people cf
very modest salaries and means gave
very literally while some of those
who have made scads of money in
Union City subscribed as though
they were trying to get rid of book
agent.
This should not be, of course, but
it always has been and always will
be, I suppose. So there is no use to
stop on that account. If the shoe
factory will bring to Union City, as
Mayor Woosley says, in three years
as much money as the entire present
assessed valuation of the city it is
worth several times $4,000, and we
believe the entire amount-$100,00
will be raised.
Mr.. Rust says that false i'm
preston has been circulated to the
effect that the Brown Shoe Company
will accept a subscription of less
than 100000 and that there is no
foundation whatever for this state
ment. In fact he has inside informa-
ton to the effect that it cannot be
done.

Card From Representative Garrett.

Editor Commercial: I had ar
ranged my campaign itinerary so as
to devote the last ten days to speak
ing in our Congressional District, as
has been my custom in past cam
paigns, expecting to fill three ap-
pointments daily.
Just as had concluded in Middle
Tennessee and was ready to begin
in the district however the condition
Of my son who underwent an opera
tiOn in the late summer, became such
that as the physicians advised his re
turn to the hospital and I am in
Nashville with him.
Being so situated and realizing
that I may be unable to fill other
speaking engagements, l avail my
self of the columns of the press to
appeal to the voters of our district
that on Tuesday, November 7th (neXt
Tuesday,, they will give their ear
nest and active support to the DEM
ocratic ticket in Tennessee. This ap-
peal is, of course, for the entire tick
ct, State and National.
This is moct important election.
The Democracy of the State is look
ing confidently to the "Old Ninth"
for an overwhelming majority. The
issues involved are of vast impor-
tance and surely the experience of
the past two years in both State and
Nation justify an appeal for the sup
port of Democratic principles and
Democratic nominees.

Sunday School Convention.

| To Editors-Dear Sirs: The Sun
day School Convention for this part
of Obion Couty, held at Bethlehem
Sunday was one of the best attended
and most interesting Conventions
among the many that have been held
during the last few years. The sub
ject, "The Aim of the Sunday
School," was discussed by the Rev. j.
H. Thomas in his usual plain and
comprehensive manner and to the ed
ification of all his hearers, and fol-
lowing this came the convention SER
mon by Rev. Hinch, a young man
from Bethel College and pastor of
the church at Fulton, KY, and it is
putting it very mildly when We say
he measured up to a high standard
of excellence; logical and in every
way most explicit and comprehen-
.sive. After the sermon then followed
ibility of this part of the program
was fully attested by all present.
Truly a feast of reason and flow of
soul.
Following this came the reading
by Miss Inez Lovelace, and she was
greeted by the large audience in
manner that fully attested the excel
lence and the very high appreciation
of this most capable young lady.
The next subject to be discussed
was '"The Old and the New Way" by
T. C. Callicott, of Rives. and it goes
without saying that he did full JUS
tice to the subject assigned him. Fol-
lowing this part of the program came
the discussion of the subject, "Pri-
mary Work." by three young ladies,
namely, Miss Euline Cummings, of
Rives, Miss Pearl White, of Union
City, and Miss Nina Wilson, of Troy.
This trio of young ladies acquitted
themselves in most creditable man
ner' and showed clearly that they
were in full accord with the work
and that they were not novices in
Sunday school but were equal to
the performance in most excellent
manner of the subject assigned them.
Rev. Cunningham discussed in a |
most able manner the subject, "The
Sunday School as a Means of Soul
Saving" followed by a presentation
by Rev. w. H. McLeskey, of Nash
vile, Tenn, of the subject of Sun
day School Literature" as compared |
with other publications along this
line. Cumberland Presbyterians owe
it to the church and to themselves to
use our own literature
All present left very reluctantly,
'or we had most excellent time all
lay. j. w. BURNEY.

FINS ]. GARRETT.

Monday was a typical show day
Gollmar Bros. Yankee Robinson Cir
Gus came to town and the small boy
was in his glory. Mind you the small
boy is anything from four to sixty
years of age. The street parade was
one of the best we have had for
years. The horses were well fed and
fine. The iron grays and whites with
the band wagons matched very beau
tifully with the bespangled gold and
white draped ladies agtride some of
the best mounts in the herd. The
lions, the elephants, the camels, the
music, the clowns-everything look
ed like, seemed like and everything
was indeed the genuine typical cir
Gus of the old and the new order
combined, with the addition prob
ably of the finest and mcst gentle
manly personnel of management, per
formers, tent men, employees, etc,
ever visiting Union City.
The performance was interesting
and varied, with some new acts and
novelties, very fine and all of the
best trained talent in the ring and
the top. The animal acts were spec
cially interesting. The show was one
of the best altogether Union City has
had for many years.

He inaugurated plans for a general
sewerage system in Union City and
was at the head of the movement
which resulted in the construction
of the complete sanitary system now
and for years great civic success.
His services were particularly effec-

that the entire contract was executed

interest and pride in the work and

Mr.. Coble was a member of the
Christian Church, and during his
late illness gave many interesting
manifestations of his devotion to re-
ligious matters. He enjoyed the visits
of his minister and his friends.

go to Nashville next Thursday, No.
