Log Rolling.
An old-time log rolling was held at
the Lon Logan place in Number Ten
last Friday. Mr. Charley Richards is
the lessee of this fine farm and he had
about thirty-five of his ueighbors and
friends collected for the day to roll logs.
It was one of those old time contests .of
physical strength with the band stick
that were so common half a century or
less ago, and revived in the memory of
the older citizens some very pleasant as
sociations. ' Dinner, a very famous af
fair, . was enjoyedand Charley Richards
was a popular host. S. W. Edwards
was kind enough to give us a report.
Housebreakers.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Frieto
was broken into Saturday afternoon,
while the residents were away, and some
valuable jewelry stolen. Among the
items was a gold watch and chain, a
present to Mr. Frieto from his father,
and therefore of more value than its in
trinsic worth, a lavalliere and two gold
rings. The burglars made their getaway
without detection and will perhaps not
be found. Sunday Mrs. Anna Walden
lost her house keys, a flashlight appara
tus and some other things while out of
of the house.

J. M DeBow Resigned.
J. M. DeBow, one of the co-principles
of the Union City Training School, has
tendered his resignation, which was ac
cepted some time ago, Mr. DeBow will
not, therefore, be connected with the
Union City Training School another
year, but will take work with some
other good school. The trustees ac
cepted Mr. MeBow's resignation with
the greatest reluctance. Marshall De
Bow is one of the best teachers in the
State, mentally one of the soundest and
the cleanest in character the State of
Tennessee has ever produced. He is
an honor to his profession, and we
would like to see a place opened for
him in Union City. It would indeed
be a God-send to our people if be could
remain with us, and we sincerely hope
that arrangements of this kind can be
made. '
Lot Sale a Big Success.
The Bishop & Bishop lot sale last Wed
nesday, like everything else undertaken
in Dresden in the right way, was a great
success, every inch of land selling, and,
while some of this property sold cheap,
the firm putting the sale on made a nice
profit on its investment. Mr. Bishop
proved to our people that real estate
men are not all grand rascals, for be
conducted, an honest, fair sale all the
way through, and by his fair, open man
ner of dealing with our people has made
many friends here.
When this sale was first mentioned
some of our conservatives", held up
their bands and predicted all sorts of
calamities for Mr. Bishop. 'But he
knows a good thing in real estate when
he sees it, and he knows a good town
when be visits it, too. So he was con
vinced that this sale would be a go.
Wednesday opened dreadfully cold
and the weather grew colder during the
day. The crowd was not as large as ex
pected, but the bidding for those choice
lots never lasted... The tat&I amount
derived from the sale was $4,802.50.
We tip our hat to Mr. Birsbop and
hope be will put on another lot Bale in
Dresden.
It is understood that many purchasers '
of lots in the new addition will erect
nice residences thereon at once. Dres-;

DEER AFTER GRIPPE
Lies in Poor Blood, Cough and
; Wora-Out Condition.
Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia are
greatly to be feared at this season.
To prevent grippe from being folr
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo
nia, It Is Important to drive the last
traces of It out of the system,
Our advice Is to take Vlnol, our
delicious cod liver and Iron prepara
tion without olL and get your
strength and vitality back quickly.
W. W. Lake of Aberdeen, Miss,
says: Grippe left me weak, run-down
and with a severe cough from which
I suffered for a long time. I tried
different remedies, but nothing seem
ed to do me any good until I took
Vlnol from which I received great
benefit. My cough Is almost entirely
gone and I am strong and well again.1
Try Vlnol with the certainty that
If It does not benefit yod we will give
back your money. '
