The Lions.

Another meeting of the Lions last
Tuesday found good attendance.
Minister Baker was elected to fill
the vacancy made by the absence of
Rev. Clark on the park commission.
Everybody said amen.
1t was then suggested that the
Lions Club foster an egg hunt on
Easter at the park.
Judge Bratton was called on for a
discussion of livestock. He stated
that he had no statistics except in a
general way. First he was glad to
report that the engineer on the jeff
LAWS highway had arrived and is
getting ready for work on the right
of way. Then he made the state
L ent that Tennessee is one of the
most important livestock States and
that Maury and Obion counties are
the principal livestock counties in
the State. Obion probably leads.
Obion shipped on an average of five
cars of livestock day last year. Two
millions of dollars worth of livestock
last year was shipped from different
points in the county. The livestock
men of the county are as well known
as any set of men anywhere in the
livestock business. They are we'll
up in the business, and when it is
hazardous they are good losers. They
lost in two years on the high market
one million dollars. The value of
livestock in the county last year was
four million dollars. Says Judge
Bratton, hogs and soy beans and red
clever cover crops in Obion County
are more profitable and better suited
To the county than any others. This
is not a horse country and only a

Killing Husband.

Mrs. Wesson's husband was killed
south of Obion on December 26, 1921,
by a fast train going north and
approaching Obion. 1t seems from
report that Mr.. Wesson and a negro
man were on one of the I. c. double
tracks below Obion, walking along
the track in front Of freight train
moving south. They saw the train
approaching and hurried to get out
of the way. In doing so they ran
towards the opposite track in the
way of fast train going north. Mr..
Wesson was knocked out to the right
of the track some fifteen or twenty
feet away, and death had taken
place when the body was found. He
was not badly bruised but some of
the leg bones were broken. The
negro was not killed but seriously
injured.

Mr.. G. S. Talley was called on for
some statements regarding the or
ganization of building and loan as
ISOLATION in Union City. He said
that he was not prepared for this
an organization. Mayor Woosley,
Judge Bratton and others spoke of
the old association and it's operation
in Union City thirty years ago, and
the value of the organization. 9th
ers speaking in behalf of building
and loan organization were Messrs.
Hal1y Vincent, Howell Bransford,
Ben Howard, Fletcher Tate, Tom
Reynolds, DR.. Long. Mr.. Bransford
spoke of the association at Blythe
Vile, Ark, Mr.. Reynolds of the one
at Hickman, Mr.. Tate of the one at
Sparta, III. A motion was finally
made to invite Mr.. Benjamin, of
Nlyfield, to meet with the Lions here
at an early date for further investi-
cation of the subject.
Mr.. Council, express agent, was
present, and was called on for a
statement with regard to handling
express on the night train to be
added to the service Of the NJ, c. &
st. l.. Ry., Hickman to Hollow Rock.
Mr., Council had nothing particular
from his company to offer. Person
ally he would like to see the service
established. Messrs. Burdick, Oliver,
and others favored making claim for
an extension of express service on
this run.
Supt. F. E. Ranck spoke in behalf
Of the City Schools, recommending
improvements on the gymnasium and
swimming pool, or rather making
these institutions an investment in
stead Of allowing them to fall into
disuse. The young people need these
institutions and if they are to be
worth anything at all there need to
be some improvements in the way
Of sanitation, ventilation, plumbing
and heating, dressing rooms and
wash room. The Lions agreed to
present the matter to the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen and the prob
abilities are that the amount needed
was allowed.

Near East Relief Campaign.

A campaign to raise $3.50, 100000
in Tennessee for the starving chill
dren of the Near East is now on.
Chattanooga is the first large city
in Tennessee to complete it's cam
paign. They raised almost $4,000
in one day for this cause. The reports
from headquarters office in Nash
Vile, Tennessee, show that great in
, terest is manifested all over the
State and it is believed that the
good people of this county will mea-
sure up to all that is expected of
them. The quota for this county is
only $500.
The chairman for this county is
Mr. Chas. Dietzel, and we are sure
all of the ministers will cooperate
with the chairman in making the
campaign a success.
The Near East Relief Organiza-
ton is chartered by Congress and
the work is supervised by the Amer
lean Government. More than 81
cents of every dollar raised goes to
the starving children. The Near East
is taking care of 10000 orphans in
orphanages and there are more than

score to 28, leaving her opponents
with IL.
The uneasiness started off with the
team from Union City holding Cen
trail down inNthe first half of the 2
O'Clock game. The Union City team
was unusually adept in getting the
ball to the goal but was somehow url-
able to put it through the basket.
The goal shooting Of Batey and Jop-
lin of Central High sort of evened
things up in the first half and the
game would in most probability have
turned out more even had not these
two stars been put out of the game
on fouls. With their mainstays
gone, Central High was left to, the
mercy of Union City, whose floor
work and passing, done mostly by
Misses Flack and Dahnke, has been
one of the features of the tourna-
ment. The final score was 81 to 16
in favor of Union City.
Next came Peabody, winner of the
first morning game, to play Troy,
winner Of the second. Peabody start
ed little off form and the
team managed to keep the ball
around its goal for the greater part
of the game. The first of the game
until the second half was fairly even
with Troy somewhat in the lead.
Then Sneed, star center, got put out
on fouls. She was followed by War
wick, forward, in the same manner.
With subs in these important places
the Peabody team put up hard fight
to the last whistle but was unable to
overcome the fast work of the Troy
five. The final score was 18 to 6.
The first game of the night was
between Central High of Memphis
and Clarksville. The Memphis girls
warmed up in the first of the game
and began making goals. The Clarks-
Vile girls were unable to break the
strong defense of Memphis and sue
ceeded in getting only eight points
during the whole game against the
fifty-one of Memphis.
The last game up to date was be-
tween Hume-Fogg High School and
Columbia. The game was hard fought

County School Board.

The Board of County School Di-
rectors met last Saturday to make
provisions for the county elementary
schools. The election of teachers
was postponed until the school fund
is apportioned and the board could ar
rive at some idea as to how long the
money for the districts would last.
1t seeems to be the sense of the board
that the County Court will have to
increase the school tax in order to
have money enough to, run the

of Peabody College. Ten teams from
all over the State were represented,
three being from Nashville. Games

Peabody team ran away with the

In the second game of the series,

MEMPHIS WINS FROM UNION
CITY

Taking commanding lead in the
opening stages Of the game, Mem
phis' magnificent five won their semi
final contest with Union City in the
first game of the afternoon session
Saturday by score of 25-14. The
West Tennessee lassies gave the CO.
horts of Miss Butler terrific fight,
but superior passing and basket work
told the tale.
| AS in the Memphis-C -Clarksville
game, the goal activities of Miss But
ler were the individual features of a
spectacular duel. Easily the best
player in the tourney, the Memphis
captain shot almost at will, her rapid
floor work and almost miraculous
baskets bringing frequent applause
from the crowd.
Miss Warren played magnificently
at guard as did Miss Berry. The Mem
phis lassies lost eight points in their
margin by fouls, Misses Dahnke and
Blanton ringing four each. Miss
Broadway worked admirably with
her floor mate, and Miss Stanton
played we'll despite her fouling
which caused her removal from the
game. Misses Flack and Dahnke
starred for Union City.

HUME-FOGG LOSES TO TROY.
The last local hope in the girls
basket ball tournament vanished Sat-
urday afternoon when Hume-Fogg
bowed to the superiority of Troy
Highs fast quintet, 1877. So blan-
keted did the red-middied guards
have the Blue forwards that Hume
Fogg was unable to score from the
field, all her points coming from Miss
hoses accuracy on free chances.
The local lassies, although out
played and outclassed on the floor,
went down fighting gamely, but
Troy's floor work and basket ringing
ultimately proved their downfall.
The count was close during the first
half, but in the latter stages, Miss
Browns basket work mounted
score that the local lassies were un-
able to overcome.
The guarding of Miss Taylor
proved the individual feature of the
duel, and Misses Brown and Burnett
played excellent offensive games.
Miss Culbert played magnificently at
guard, and Miss Moore played well
after she was placed at center. Miss
Gattis performed excellently at
guard. Miss Rose accounted for all
of Hume-Fogg's points, but inability
of the local forwards to get open
caused their downfall. Fouls COM
mitted by the locals were very cost
ly.

Third Saturday.

Mr.. Roses third Saturday was an
other big day for Union City. Like
the first Monday, the weather was
disappointing and no doubt people
from long distances would not ven
ture out. Still a large number of
people were here and the days &C
tivities were altogether encouraging.
In the park where the crowd as
sembled a fine speech was made by
Mr.. w. E. Hudgins, whose predic-
tions of better times were most as
suring. Mr.. Hudgins was very gen
erous in praise of the people and the
country in Obion County.

WINDSTORM LEAVES
WRECKAGE IN WAKE
Church Blown Down.

Beulah Baptist Church building,
northwest of Union City, was demol-
ished by last Sundays windstorm.
The building was overhauled and
practically new, but it seemed to be
in the storm center and the walls
were wrenched in and out and the
roof went crashing down on the
seats. The value of building was
about $4,000 with insurance of $500.
The seats were insured for 5000.
John T. Walker & Co., who issued
the policies, stated that adjustments
would be made Immediately so that
the seats could be taken out.

champions.
They won the el,le last night when
they DEBATED Troy, 81 to 1S, in the
finals of the Peabody-Tennessean
girls tournament.
Hvge-Fogg's girls were unable to
equal the feat of the boys in grab
bing the Tennessee crown in the
..ss;4 age. They passed out of the cham
pionshio scramble before the rush Of
the Troy girls. The home lacsies
staged a gallant fight, hut the floor
fates sent the finals to West Tennes-
see.
Again it was Miss Butler, the mar
vel of the girls court, who brought
victory to the Memphis Hi lassies.
Never has her equal been seen In
any girls basket ball. Her marks
manship was uncanny and only three
of the shots she took at the net
missed fire. She was superb in
handling the ball, and her leadership
was brilliant.
Miss Butler of Memphis, single
handed, won the title. SheNwas re-
sponsible for all of the 81 points
made by the Shelby County lassies,
feat rarely duplicated on any floor.
Friday night Miss Butler made Al
points of her teams total and her
record last night in the finals piled
her total up to 95 points.
Miss Brown, of Troy, the runner
up, was second, with 81 points, while
Miss Rose of Hume-Fogg was best Of

Miss Ethel Norton, who conceived
the idea for this tournament, is de-
serving of lavish praise for her pi-
oneer work in behalf of girls basket
ball in Tennessee. The manner in
which she conducted the tourney re-
fected praise upon her judgment and
efficiency. So successful was the
tournament at it's repetition again
next year is assured.
Not hitch arose at any time dur
ing the tournament. The refereeing
was high-class, though very strict,
and the teams responded quickly to
the change in officiating.
Not a complaint was registered, al
though some teams were severely
crippled by the infiction of heavy
penalties from the officials Blin!ley
