To the Voters.
To tbe people of Weakley, Obion and
Lake counties: I hereby announce my
candidacy for re-election to the Senate
of Tennessee, from the counties of
Weakley, Obion and Lake, subject to
tbe a tion of the Democratic party, and
ask that I be given the usual indorse
ment of a second term.
Roht. A. Elkins. .
A Statement
To the Democracy of Obion Couuty:
For several years the Democratic party
has been rent and torn by factional strife.
As a result a strongly Democratic State
Las been ruled and run by the Republi
can party since 1910, and the sessions
of the Legislature have been disgrace
fully discorded. Politicians of all fac
tions have trafficked in the rights of the
people and the general interest of the
8tate has suffered. Realizing that the
public, we! fare demands the restoration
of political peace, I am convinced that
political peace can only come with
Democratic harmony. Now as sensible
and business men let us have peace and
prosperity that we may enjoy the great
wave of propperity that is now sweeping
over our great country, and in order to
liave peace and harmony I am in favor
of the rigid enforcement of all laws and
complete submission to all the temper
ance laws as they now exist. , That is
the question that has rent us asunder,
and politicians have taken the advantage
of the strife and discord. Our next
Legislature should be of good business
and patriotic men who will enact good
and wholesome laws, such as will be for
the development of our agricultural and
all commercial interests of the State,
and if I was a member of that great
body I would stand for tbe following:
First, For the strict enforcement of
all temperance laws, and the reinforce
ment of the same if necessary.
Second, For maintaining our public
school system and for improving our
.public highways.
Third, I am in favor of passing an
anti-pass bill v I am of the opinion that
the issuing of passes is not in the in
terest of the people, especially the State
officials should not ride on free passes
while serving the people. Whether
men .are biased or not by them it is
dangerous and should not be allowed by
the State.
Fourth, I am in favor of strengthening
our experimental station at Nashville in
protecting our farmers in stamping out
hog cholera. The farmers of the United
States last year lost $60,000,000 of hogs
by that destructive disease, and I would
do Jill in my power to pass a fair and
a just revenue and assessment law. -1
am aware of the fact that that is hard
to do.
Those are some of my principles that
I think would be for tbe public welfare,
for peace and prosperity, and for the
-moral and financial uplift in our great
Btate. As to restoring the party, every
true Democrat in Obion County desires
the rehabilitation of the Democracy in
its purity and power in Tennessee, and
all that is needed is for the rank and file
to exercise good judgment and common
sense. -Dr. F. M. McRee.
Judge Kenney would like to suggest
. that spring is coming on and that the
duty of the road commissioners is to
put the roads in good condition as early
as possible. The levees especially need
attention. The roads have been very
good indeed this winter, with the excep
tion of some holes in the levees. About
, the only real winter weather this season
was in February, and it is likely that
the roads need dragging now to be in
good order. This should be done in
season and not to be neglected for pri
vate duties. The law provides regula
tions for road work, and if they are
followed properly the county needn't
ever complain of bad roads except in a
severe spell of bad weather.
The Moose Lodge.
The lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose
in Union City is now enjoying the pleas
ure of their attractive cluh rooms, which

Forger Detected.
A crook by the name of Ford appeared
in Union City this week. He undertook
to buy a suit of clothes from Sullivan
Bros., offering a check on Chas. Phil
lips. ' He claimed to be a Moose
member, and everything was working
smoothly , until it began to dawn on
Mr. Sullivan that he had seen a news
paper account of the name and the
same circumstances. His suspicions
were arroused, and offering an excuse
to go out and have some clothing altered
be looked for an officer. But the Moose
grafter made his gotaway.

Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing
only. - .
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is Union City evidence to prove
their worth.
T. L. Lancaster, Depuly Circuit Court
Clerk, Union City, Tenn., says: "When
I used Doan's Kidney Pills some time
ago, they gave me relief from kidney
trouble and I publicly recommended
them. I'feel justified in confirming that
statement."
Lancaster is only one of many Union
City people who have gratefully en
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. It your
back aches if your kidneys bother;
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mr. Lan
caster had the remedy backed by home
testimony. Fifty cents all stores. Fos-ter-Milburn

The Kryls.
The last attraction of the Redpath
winter course, under the auspices of the
ladies of Union City, appeared at the
Reynolds Theatre Thursday night. The
first number was by Marie Kryl, selec
tions from Schubert and Paganini-Liszt.
Here were the heights and depths of the
gamut and the technic of great genius
They were classics of the highest order
aod the young girl, without the score,
displayed the most wonderful skill and
power, more remarkable than all a sur
passingly wonderful musical memory.
Her attack and her entire performance
were worthy of the masters whose genius
have moved the world.
Miss Josephine, the violinist, Is also a
a wonderful young lady. They are
both in short dresses and braids. She
has discovered the secrets of the old in
strument which made the past masters
famous. The inspiration of her musical
genius kindles the flame in her fingers,
and tbey are charged with the power of
her art. She is a musician whose cult
is easily recognized.
And Kryl. He is almost at home in
Union City. Our people have grown to
worship his music. Great as a corneter,
the music world has no greater. But
with all that Kryl is more remarkable as
a musician. He has lived with the mas
ters for years and he is a master himself.
His compositions are classics, but as a
bandmaster and arranger of scores his
art reaches its highest. His band work
is wonderful. He is a famous band
mastor, and stands alone in the wonder
ful assemblage of his instrumental voices
and the creatiop of harmony and tonal
effects. -
The Kryls were enjoyed by a large
audience who enjoyed every number
and everv phrase of the delightful con
cert. We would like to see them again.
IMiearsals for the St. Patrick's Min
strels to bo given at the Opera House on
March 17 by the young men oi tne
Hieh School are well under way. The
program will be in three parts, snappy,
witty and funny. Choruses, solos,
quartettes, dancing, sketches and a
farce. Moving pictures between parts.

The Young Mother.
"Doctor, do you ever prescribe by
telephoue?"
"Oh, yes," answered the doctor over
the wire.
"Well, I'll hold baby up to the in
strument. Please look at this rash and
tell me what to do."
