Jones,' who becanie a national character by reason of his trial of the Nightriik'rs at Union City, is a candidate for re-election We are informed, that a hard fight is being made, and will be made against him. Judge Jones deserves re-election with out a fight. It is unfair that he should be com polled to go upon the stump from town to town in bis district, and bear the burden, and labor, and expense of a campaign. When Judge Jones went into the Night- rider case, he took his life into his own hands. He encountered opposing forces and obstacles that would have appalled 4. man of less courage. As he saw his duty, he attempted to discharge it to ".'the letter. A unique situation confronted Judge Jones. An oath-bound secret organiza tion formed in his district. They held their oath to be above the law of the land, and instead of obeying legal an thorities, took orders from men who were striking at the roots of society They did murder, and they claimed they had a right to do it. They assassi nated a lawyer, and, in so many words, stated to the court: "What are you going to do about it. " Judge Jones' election should come from the asking for the office. His friends in the district should make his campaign for him. Of course, any lawyer has a right to run against Judge Jones, but it does seem that his opponent should curb his ambition to succeed him this time. To defeat Judge Jones will be to give ap proval to the acts of those who at tempted to throttle the law in Obion County." We do not know whether Attorney Ge,neral Caldwell of that district is a candidate for re-election. If he offers, he, also, should be returned. The Commercial Appeal knows little of Judge Jones' personal politics, and cares less. It makes no difference to us whether he is a Tatterson Democrat, a. squaw Democrat, a State-wider, or local optionist.

Our last regular meeting was so in structive wo are loth to let it pass with out some little notice. ,,Iu. response to an invitation from our president, Mrs. Eice A. Pierce, we were honored with a very interesting and in structive address by Mayor GardnexIthe subject of sewerage being freely :hnd fully discussed. 1 Mayor Gardner fully and forcibly con vinced us of what a herculean task it would be to undertake to sewer the town at present, under financial diffi culties. 'Tis well that our enthusiasm should be tempered with the cool, sound judgment of some strong man. Mayor Gardner also, in a clear, lucid and entertaining way, explained to us the obligations of the board to the town, thejr financial condition, so that every one present could easily grasp the situ ation, his remarks being occasionally interspersed with good humored banter which created a ripple of laughter dur ing the entire afternoon, the occasion being so pleasant that quite a good deal of business had to be postponed until our next meeting, the most important being the next movement towards im proving the appearance of our little city. At a former meeting Mrs. Preston sug gested an ornamental fence around the park, while our president advocated and suggested an arch at the main entrance illuminated with electric lights. Having been criticised some by those who favored beautifying the town to the exclusion of everything else, we are be ginning to turn our attention from clean ing up, disinfecting ditches and stag nant pools, etc., to the artistic and beautiful, yet we realize we must be made clean before we can really be made beautiful proper, and this brings to our mind a little impromptu address at a former meeting by Mrs!" A. L. Bre vard, prefacing her remarks from a quo tation from David Copperfield, which so aptly applied to the question being dis cussed. On being asked what to do with David, was answered with the sage re mark, "Wash him." Mrs. Brevard making it applicable to our town said, Wash it." She also alluded to a fact that niany did not know, that she her self and Mrs. Pierce were the first ladies in Union City who had succeeded in raising funds to furnish something orna mental and useful for our little town. She also spoke of the g -rous response OCTOBER 1 and TO COME AND to their appeals for funds by many of 6lr most prominent citizens. Now we hope by another year to be able to furnish some marked improve ment in our town. Just watch the Civic League grow and expand; but oh, you Union City.
