Obion County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee.
The old members of the County Dem
ocratic Executive Committee met with
the newly elected members last Monday
and proceeded with the organization
The party pledge was administered to
the new members. This occasioned
some dissatisfaction for the reason that
the independent members objected to
being tied to the Democratic ticket all
the way through and one gentleman
declined to answer. He was, however,
allowed to sit as a member of the com
mittee, there being no objection.
J. L. Fry was elected chairman and
. J. Green secretary, and the organl
zation being disposed of the following
resolution was offered by Mr. John
White and carried by a vote of seven
to five, three members not voting. Only
one member, Mr. Tucker, of Number
Twelve, was absent. The resolution
reads thus:
Bo it resolved by the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of Obion County,
Tennessee, tbat we recognize 'the im
, portance of Democratic organization at
this time to defeat Republicans in Ten
nessee. . ,
Therefore be it resolved, That it is the
sense of this committee tbat a Central
Campaign Committee be appointed by
the County Executive Committee, asso
ciated with the chairman of this com
mittee, to take charge of this campaign
and manage the same from Governor
down to County Representative.
We recommend the following Demo
crats for said position: T. J. Bonner,
F. J. Smith, P. D. Hornbeak and D.
T. Caldwell.
' Be it further resolved, That it is the
sense of your county executive com
mittee that Tom Rye Democrat Clubs
be formed in every civil district in Obion
County.
There were some objections to the
resolution from the independent wing
of the committee, but Mr. Green made
a few remarks referring to the fact tbat
it is always the custom to take some ac
tion in regard to plans for a Democratic
campaign in the county, and it could
not be done otherwise than by some
expression from the committee.
After adjournment it is understood
that Dr. Matlock tendered his resigna
tion in favor 'of Mr. Sam Finch and
tbat the chairman appointed Mr. Finch
to act until the committee meets and
elects a successor. It is said that other
independent members were considering
the same action.
The following compose the new conv
mittee:

EXEMPLIFY THE WORK
Great Catherine in Union City
" ' Last week.
Possibly not within the history of this
city has there been so many prominent
Masons gathered here as has been the
past week. The occasion was the exem
plification of the degrees of Capitular
Masonry for Union City Chapter No.
132, R. A. M.
On Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. the
work began when the degree of Mark
Master was conferred, closing the Con'
vocation with a beautiful exemphhea
tion of the Royal Arch Degree on Thurs
day evening.
The following visitors from a distance
were in attendance, who took prominent
parts in the work: Charles M. Hunt,
Grand High Priest of Tennessee, Grand
Junction; John B. Garrett, Past Grand
High Priest and Grand Secretary of the
Grand Chapter of Tennessee; Fred C.
Watkins, Past Grand High Priest,
Dversbure: Dr. Daniel B. Blake and
Stith Cain, Past High Priests, Nash
ville; and a large representation from
the local and other Chapters in Obion
County.
The meeting was a great success and
will no doubt give greatencouragement
to Capitular Masonry in this section.
Many of the visitors were delightfully
entertained at 6 o'clock dinner by Dr.
and Mrs. T. E. Marshall at their ele
gant country home.
On Friday night Union City Lodge
No. 533 was officially visited by our
fellow countian, M. W. Thomas J.
Bonner, Grand Master of Tennessee
Freemasons. The Grand Secretary of
the Grand Lodge, Mr. John B. Garrett,
was also present.
The Master Masons Degree was con-
ferrd by the working team of the Lodge,
who showed great proficiency in their
work and was highly commended by
the Grand Master and others who were
present. A banquet was served after
the work of the evening had been com
The Grand Master visited Tyre Lodge
No 587 on Saturday morning, when the
Grand Secretary delivered a very in
teresting lecture on the esoterics of
Freemasonry. At night a meeting of
great importance to the craft was held at
Rives, the home of the Grand Master.
Much interest was manifested by the
members present. ;
No doubt these visits from the Grand
Master will create new zeal and much
enthusiasm in the order in this county.
The local Masons enjoyed a great
treat and arrangements are in progress
for a greater meeting in the very near
future. Union City always extends a
glad hand to its visitors and it is hoped
that they will come again.
Free Masonry.
On Wednesday, the 2d of the month,
Union City Chapter, No. 132, Royal
Arch Masons, was called for the pur
pose of conferring the degrees on t
number of crndidates, among whom
were J. L. Glover, Sr., Mose Glover,
Jack Hubbs, Whitesell Harpole, C. C,
Conn and J. E. Stuart.
We had with us at this meeting some
of the Brand officers of the State, to-
wit: John B. Garrett, Grand Secretary,
Nashville; C. M. Hunt, Grand High
Priest, Grand Junction, Tenn.; F. C.
Watkins, Inspector for this jurisdiction,
Dyersburg; also Dr. D. B. Blake and
S. M. Cain. Nashville, Tenn., who are
very noted members of this institution
These brethren superintended, and took
part in conferring these degrees on the
parties above named, who were well
pleased and delighted with the excellent
manner in which they were conferred
The work was concluded on Thursday
ight by conferring the August Degree
of Royal Arch Mason.
Grand, Secretary Garrett was joined
on Friday night by the Grand Master,
T. J. Bonner, at a session of the Blue
Lodge, or Master Mason Lodge, at this
place, at which time we conferred the
Fellowcraft degree on Phil Hyman, our
our WorshiDful Master. Ernest All-
mond, officiating. The work was ap
proved and complimented by our grand
officers. At the conclusion of the work
we partook of barbecued lamb, hot cof
fee, and other things which naturally
creep into a man's mind when he gets
hungry.
As we had a full attendance and
many visitors from neighboring lodges,
speeches were now in order, and we not
nly had some choice remarks from our
grand officers, but we heard from a
number of our home talent.
With all this and a grand good time
for everyone present, we closed with a
tacit understanding that some of us
should accompany Grand Master T. J.
Bonner and Grand Secretary Garrett to
yre Lodge, No. 587 (located at Crystal),

on the following day (Saturday). We
had the pleasure of f ulfillibg this agree
ment and conferred the Fellowcraft de
gree on Bascom Isbell, which was done
in a most impressive manner. Many
lodges were represented at .this meet
ing. At the noon hour we were servedl
with baked fish and as many other
choice selections of food as any sound
stomach could digest. We think a first
class cooking school would have been
ashamed of themselves had they been
permitted to partake of these dainties.
This is one of the facts among many
that reminds us tbat although the good
women are not active members oi tuis
Great Institution, yet it would be a fail
ure without their co-operation, and we
feel that the Ancient Hidden Mysteries
of Free Masonry, is much revived in
these parts. - T. E. Marshall.
Mr, Rice Ross.
A Confederate veteran and one of the
best citizens of the good old days was
Mr. Rice Ross, whose death occurred on
the 2d inst. Mr. Ross was 68 years of
age and over. He was a charter mem
ber of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church at Mount Ararat and an elder
of the congregation. Mr. Ross lost bis
wife some years ago and in his home
lived his daughter, Mrs. Henry Snow,
and her husband. He also leaves an
other daughter, Mrs. Norrid, and two
brothers, Jesse and Dock, the latter
residing in Lake County.
Mr. Ross was a man of the highest
integrity and character. He was a good
citizen and enjoyed the esteem of hosts
of the kind friends. He knew how to
appreciate these things and his citizen
ship was therefore all the more a bless
ing to bis community.
The remains of the good man were
interred at Mount Ararat, with the hon
ors of the Masonic lodge, of whom there
were a large number, and his Confed
erate comrades. Rev. Bryson conduct
ed funeral services.
The community and the family suffer
an irreparable loss.

Buy Your Winter Supply of Coal
Now.
When the nations of the earth are at
peace with each other and there are no
wars to threaten the consumption ; of
the coal output, it is regarded as econ
omy for everybody to purchase during
the summer season tneir winter Buppiy
of coal, and now it is much more im
portant that this be done, as there is an
increased demand for American coal in
this country and abroad.
There will probably be increased de
mand for American coal in South Amer
ica, as well as for the belligerant coun-
tries, for Great Britain nas Deen snip
ping annually ntSS than 6,000,000
tons, while this country has been ship
ping only 250,000 tons, and now since
England's shipment must cease, tne
coal mines of America wui be looked
to for the supply.
If at any time there nas been good
reason for buying winter supply of coal
during the summer, there is now good
reason for it.
