Some times you can't judge the quality of a basket
of Groceries by just looking at them.
When you get them from us and they fail to come
up to your every expectation, you just step to the
telephone (we have two), confer a favor by telling us
and one of our wagons (we have three) will just call
and get them and return your money.
That's just about as tight as we know' how to obli
gate ourselves. If : we could command language to
compose a stronger guarantee, we would give it to you.
The strongest is none too strong for us, and the best
Groceries is none too good for you.

DISSECTING A GOOSE v
. WITHOUT A SCALPEL
Printer's Ink the Weapon Used
"LET'S BUILD A TOWN."
"Ain't That a Sight," Said Rev. W.
H. (Wild Bill) Lvans.
Now, readers, under the above cap
tion (with a slight modification) there
appeared an article in last week's issue
of the Union City Commercial, being
the first of a series of articles I have in
store in reply to an editorial which ap
peared in the Obion Enterprise two
weeks ago and dadied by one Arch
Johnson, purporting to enlighten the
Obionites as to tho modus operandi of
how to build a town, upon which propo
sition I picked up the glove the afore
said editor laid down; in other words, I
dared to take issue with his Editorship
upon a question in which the destiny of
the town of Obion is involved, and in
doing this I will in each of my articles
confine myself to facts and figures,
dates, etc., incontrovertible, and with
no unkind feeling, no matter what the
provocation may bo or has been in the
past.
Now, in my first article, I gave warn
ing to those who, for the past thirty
years, have persisted in trying to tear
down as fast as I build up; and in this,
my second article, I repeat the warning.
Now, if you continue to harden your
hearts and stiffen your necks in your
aggressiveness, in your efforts to anni
hilate my lifetime earnings, and fall by
the wayside, as your chief and satellites
preceding you have done, do not blame
me with it. It has been my misfortune
to bo on the defensive all my life, com
bating, jealousy and the thirst for su
premacy as tho propelling power. It
has given me more prominence than I
deserve, or desire to possess.
This is Monday eve and I have no
evidence indicating your intention to
cease your persecution and haul down
the black Hag you have' been waving
over the people of Obion longer than
it took Washington and Marion to drive
King George from American soil.
It is still being reported that I gave
to Bro. Ellis tho catalogue of crimes
and even the names of the criminals
against tho laws of God and man that
the preacher enumerated in his open
ing sermon of the protracted meeting
held by Bro. Ed Watson and himself,
which closed last night. This report is
not believed by any one who knows me,
because I disavowed the authorship of
the information imported to Bro. Ellis.
Those who repeat it do not believe it.
It may be, as Bro. Whitnell had
preached the first sermon on the situ
ation in Obion, and the fact that ho has
for some time been in possession of the
papers made out by my attorney, Judge
A. J. Lawson, in relation to the farce
(called a church trial) enacted in the M.
E. Church, South, at Obion Oct. 12,
1902, subsequent to an array of Bro.
W. M. Wilson before a committee com
posed of K. M. Walker, pastor, G. M.
Steele, secretary, and the most valuable
member of the church at Obion, accord
ing to the Gospel preached by the Eev.
George Washington Wilson, and also
in accord with a letter the Eeverend
Gentkman wrote to the late Bev. W. A.
Cook upon the occasion of the proceed
ings of tho first quarterly conference
held in January, 1005 (or more than
three years after the persecution began),
in which the most valuable member of
the church played a most conspicuous
part in the letter referred to. Bro. Wil
son said to Bro. Cook: "I am afraid
we did wrong in accepting the money
($105.00) paid in by the Wilsons; the
most valuable member of the church
told me it was tainted."
However, in the estimation of Bro.
Wilson, if the first money paid by the
Wilsons was tainted, the taint didn't
affect the last $100.00 I gave Bro. Cook
an hour before ho left Obion to attend
the General Conference at Mayfield,
Ky., Nov., 1905, from the fact that
after Bro. Cook, in his room and in the
presence of his wife (now a widow re
siding in Obion) related to Bro. Wilson
the circumstances under which I gave
him the money. The Elder said, "Give
me ten dollars of that money," and he
pocketed a ten dollar gold piece of the
last $100.00 I gave him, saying, "Bro.
Cook, I give you this money for your
self and Sister Cook. As a matter in
course you will have to report it as
quarterage. But tell Elder Wilson I
do not want him to handle any more of
my tainted money." But that was not
in the way of his taking what he called
his part of the money I gave to Bro.
Cook. I requested the Elder to return
the money to Bro. Cook, to no avail.
I then wrote to Bishops Hoss and Key
at Birmingham, Ala., May, 1906, in
forming them of the circumstances,
and further stated to. the Bishops: "I
wish you would show Elder Wilson my
letter, as you are all together at Gen
eral Conference." Since the Elder has
(by application to my attorney, A. J.
Lawson, in a letter which was handed
to the Elder at Bethlehem Church
Fourth Quarterly Conference Oct. 21,
1905, through -the hands of my son,
A. Wilson, Mayor of Obion) positively
refused to consider a proposition to ex
punge from the church record the word
"expelled," prematurely set opposite
my name by the prosecutor, T. J. Ogil
vie, which act was by Bishop Hoss, at
Paris, Tenn., Nov., 1902, and Bishop
Key, at Jackson, Tenn., Nov., 1904,
declared erroneous. But the Elder said,
and wrote to Bro. Cook, "I am as com
petent to interpret law as Bishop Hoss
or Bishop Key." Bishop Hoss an
swered my letters for Bishop Key and
himself, saying, "The entire matter will
be investigated at Eipley, Tenn., Nov.,
1906. " My church attorney, A. J.
Lawson, and myself attended the Con
ference at Eipley, but Bishop Duncan
presided over the Conference, a short
time before his death, and was in feeble
and irritable condition. Tho matter was
not attended to and is still an open
question whether the decrees of the
Bishops or the Elders shall prevail.
Tuesday a. m. I will resume my re
spects to Elder Wilson next week. In
the meantime tho Elder wishes it dis
tinctly understood that ho is no kin to
that old scamp, Bill Wilson. Well, I
am so sorry, but if Bro. Wilson will
send me a barrel big enough to bottle
up the tears I have shed over it, I will
forgive him, as I did the most valuable
member of the church for slandering
not only myself but two Bishops as well.
Not being content with that, like the
(lame that set fire to tho Gayoso Hotel
in Memphis, he licked out his tongue
and swiped in a lady, who is, like Ce
sar's wife, above reproach, a lady I
have never had the honor of seeing in
my life, yet the most valuable member
of the church narrated to more than a
half dozen citizens of Obion, in Lovell's
drug store, Sunday a. m., June 16, 1906,
how Old Bill drove this good lady around
in a carriage over the streets of a city
she was never in, and the shrewd old
fox gave her a big lot of money and
she induced the Bishop to decide the
church suit in his favor.
"The most interesting opening of a
school that it was ever my good fortune
to witness, occurred at the College last
night. The speakers handled their sub
jects in a masterly way. They taught
the art of building a school, a town,
rearing a boy and improving society.
Tho boys awarded the blue ribbon' to
Miss Frcy as the best speaker. Bob
ert and Ben Morris said: "We are
proud of our teacher. " I said: "Boys,
if, by your conduct during this session,
you will give your teacher good reasons
to be as proud of you as you are of her,
I will, at the close of the session, give
you a fine suit of Dock Fox's best
wear."' When Dr. Darnall finished his
scientific oration and took his seat by
my side I whispered in his ear: "Your
speech reminds mo of pioneer days"
when Tobe Wilkinson blazed out the

When you tell the old world "Howdy,"
though it's feelin' mighty blue,
It's mighty quick inpassin' of the time
o' day with you;
Springtime or fall,
Answerin' your call,
"Howdy, to you neighbor. How's your
family an' you?"
When you tell the old world "Howdy,"
You're on speakin' terms, you see
Sociable and friendly as we humans

You think there's littlo in it,
But it makes a golden minute,
Throwin' off your troubles in a joyous

that they will guarantee Mi-o-na tablets
to cure acute or chronic indigestion and
all stomach ailments, or money back,

gas on stomach, belching of sour food,
stomach pains, foul breath, dizziness,
biliousness and headaches just because
just because that's all, there is no oth
