BIG FIRST MONDAY
CROWD IN UNION CITY
Trade and Business Taking ON New
Life-Better Feeling.

The largest crowd of people in
town last Monday that has been seen
here for a number of years seems to
be eoincident with the fact that
grain prices are taking an advance
and an omen of better times coming.
People came to town from various
sections of the nearby country and
but for the cloudy overcast all morn
ing they would have, no doubt, been
here from points twenty and thirty
miles away.
In many of the business houses
special reduced prices for the day
were offered. The barber shops even
offered haircut for 25 cents. In q
few of the stores it is said that the
days business was better than it had
been on the first Mondays for a num-
Der of years. Buyers and sellers of
livestock were here and some of the
holdings changed hands. Most every
one remarked on the size of the
crowd and improved conditions and
generally better feeling seemed to
prevail.
No doubt large share of this gem
eral attendance in town was due to
the work of Mr.. r. r. Rose, who is
making an effort to revive local trade
conditions and feature of first Mon
day and third Saturday business in
ducements. So far Mr.. Rose has been
very successful with his efforts. The
next event to which he is directing
his attention is the third Saturday in
March. On that day specially re-
duced prices in practically all the
stores and business houses in Union
City will be offered and inducements
will be offered to livestock men. 1t
will be general shopping and trad
inc day in Union City.
Everybody is welcome to Union City
every day, but a specially attractive
is extended on the third Sat
lrday. Come in and be with us on
he third Saturday.

The Lions.

A very interesting, if not a very
important, meeting of the Lions took
place last Tuesday.
There were a number of visitors
present. Minister Club, of Dyersburg,
was here as guest of Pastor Baker,
and he made the first after-dinner
address, one in which he told good
j'k Ike or two at the expense of Mr..
Baker. Brother Club is pastor of the
Christian Church at Dyersburg.
MIR. Lowe, a travelling salesman,
was called on for a good word. He
said that of the towns he visits the
live ones have either Lions or Rota-
ries. Without a business organiza-
tion there's nobody home and the
town must suffer from neglect.
Mr.. Dalton, of the Nailling-Keiser
Hardware Co., was present and had
kind word for the club. DR.. Tur-
ner's introduction of Mr.. Dalton
started a good laugh at the expense
of the president.
Mr.. Rose was heard in talk about
increased train service. He wanted
the club to take further action in
reference to the night train on the
NJ, G. & st. L. Ry. He proposed
general organization, stating that we
would have the most hearty co-opera-
ton from all the nearby towns in
The efforts for this train. Mr.. Roses
and enthusiasm is really
stimulating and a fine example of
public spirit. The club voted in op-
position to the taking off of one of
he day trains on the NJ, C. & st. L.
Ry., and fer further work in going
lfter the night train.

at Dyersburg is supported III Ms ath.
letics by the different organizations
of the town and Union City is as
able to support her High School ath-
letics as Dyersburg or any other
town.
At the beginning of the football
season in 1921 the team had five uni
forms that were bought by Mr.. Ranck
when he first came to Union City
that were in usable condition. These
were the first uniforms bought in
seven years. A campaign was put on
foot to raise money for the purchase
of new uniforms for the team to
which most of the business men of
Union City contributed as generous
ly as possible, especially Mr.. Lyle
Boyd, who gave the team a benefit
picture and the largest personal do
nation. At the beginning of or
football season Mr.. Deane Keiser vol
unteered his time and service as a
coach for the team and he was large
ly responsible for the signal successes
which the team had Out of eight
football games played we were vic
torious in six, losing to two teams
that were heavier and considerably
older than our own.
The basket ball season has been
as successful if not more so than the
football season, the team losing only
one game out of seven, and this only
after a hard fought game with the
M. B. A. team, of Nashville, during
the recent basket ball tournament
held at Nashville, and out of the
twenty-five teams who competed at
the tournament we were pronounced
to be the fastest and cleanest fighting
team on the court, not single per-
sonal foul being called against any
one of our players.
We feel that this is record of
which Union City ought to be proud,
whether they are or not, and which
they can continue to make possible
only by their financial support and
presence at the games played in

President Boys Athletic Association.

Benefit for School Athletics.

An entertainment will be given al
the High School auditorium Friday
March II, for the benefit of ath-
letics of Union City Public School.
Some of the best talent in the city
are interested, and the program
promises to be one of unusual inter-
est. An admission fee of 25 cents
will be charged. Mr.. James Rippy,
secretary of the athletic association,
was asked to make public some OF
the activities and conditions of our
school athletics. His report follows:
Athletics for high schools has
never received. its just share of at
tention and particularly has this
been true in Union City. For years
the teams of the Union City High
School have been supported by the
generosity of some of the teachers
who have recognized the benefits de-
rived from athletics, while others
who were more able to pay than
these have shirked a responsibility
that was theirs. Few people realize
that it costs money to equip and
maintain team and there are many
well-meaning but badly mistaken
people who, if they have thought
about the subject at all, urge the
elimination of athletics from our
High School.
When we eliminate athletics we
lose one of the most fundamental
factors of education. Any we'll
trained teacher knows how to make
capital of the school athletics where
he or she teaches. For the past two
years there has been scholarship
standard in effect in the Union City
High School as stringent as any to
be found anywhere in the country.
In spite of this standard only two
first team men have been barred from
a game during the football and bas-
ket ball season.

come from source from which it
should have come. / refer here to
he financial straits and the accumu-
ated Indebtedness which are hang
ng over the athletic association at
he present time. These debts have
'een met in part by members of the
aculty, the superintendent, and by
everal individuals on the team who
ave already given their limit and
hould not be expected to carry this
urden any further, and who, if it
} possible, ought to be reimbursed in
art if not in full for the money
Thich they have spent. 1t is re-

MEETING OF CITIZENS
and RAILROAD men
Would Substitute Night for Day
Service to Hickman.

III. S. Smith, vice-chairman of the
N, C. & st. L. Railroad; w. I. Light

agent; w. Fl. Wharton, assistant

partment of public relations; ]. c.
Galloway. travelling passenger agent
E. o. Dennedy, travelling freight
agent and Edd Cavell, secretary to
the general freight agent, held an
informal meeting in this city with
about 100 business men and citizens
to discuss the adyisibility of putting
on night passenger train from
Hickman to Hollow Rock Junction,
and also to take up the question of a
night freight with express and mail
car, or mixed train, whereby this
section would be enabled to make
stock shipments to the Nashville
market and receive freight shipments
from Nashville without the delay
which now exists. DR., WIN. Turner,
president of the Lions Club, presided.
Mr.. Smith stated that the night pas
senger would cost about $4,000 per
month to operate, and that in his
opinion this additional train, with
the two day trains now on, would not
increase over 20 per cent the earn
ings of the day trains, and that the
railroads had to be mindful of Gre
ating additional train service that
would not meet the added expense.
However, he stated that the rail-
road was willing to make the follow
ing experiment: Take off one of the
day trains, preferably the evening
train, and put on the night train. If
it is found that the additional ex-
pense is justified, the evening train
will be reinstated. This train would
leave Hickman at $3.50 pm, connect
ing with Union City, Gibbs, Martin
and Mckenzie, enabling passengers
to reach Nashville by am. A train
leaving Nashville at pm. would
reach Union City at 1904 am. Mr..
Smith asked that he be authorized

ing that this section needed the ad-
iitional service and that any curtail-
nent of the service now would work
i hardship on the section.
They added that in their opinion
he operating expense of this third
rain would be paid by the freight,
and mail service, and
lsked that this be put on as an ex-
,eriment without discontinuing one
# the day trains. No definite ar
angement was reached.

SENATOR DURHAM IN

Claims Delinquent Taxes Should Be
Collected by Trustee.

Gallatin, Tenn. March 4-Senator
Durham Saturday announced that he
would be a candidate to succeed him
self as Senator from this district In
making his announcement, he, said:,
"The next General Assembly
should meet present industrial and
financial conditions in business-like
way. With proper legislation and
economic and conservative appropri-
ations, the present heavy burden of
taxation can be reduced and conf
dence restored, without in any way
whatever affecting the schools and
highways, and other public institu-
tions of the State. The people are
demanding relief along this line"
He further said that the real and
personal taxes of the State should be
collected by the county trustee, as
provided by the constitution; that
there can be no good reason given for

unnecessary cost and expense to the

pie are capable of local self-govern-
ment and should be permitted to exr
ercise this right in the collection of
