- The Obion County banks tre publish
ing statements this week, and the con
dition of our finances, indicated by these
institutions, is normal and usual not
standing the strained conditions brought
on by the war and shortage of local
crops. The deposits are more now than
they were this time last year, and the
loan account is in a wholesome condi
tion. Our finances are in a first-class
shape, and that is a good sign.
Let's all get together for the Confed
erate State Convention in October, to be
held here. The committees were billed
to meet last night and it is hoped that
they have made some progress. There
is to be banqueting, speaking, band
concerts and entertainment of different
kinds, besides the camp life of the old
soldiers at the fait grounds. A big bas
ket dinner is planned to be provided for
by the people of Union City and the
county, and this is already underway
The chapters, the camp, the Fair Asso
sociation and the Business Men's Club
are behind the arrangements, and ev
erything should be in fine condition by
the date of the meeting.

Fine Service.
Capt. J. T. Perkins was here Tuesday
and informed us that a packed car from
Memphis is now delivered in Union City
on time seventeen days out of twenty,
and from Paducah a packed car is deliv
erered eighteen days out of twenty on
time at Union City. This enables mer
chants having goods shipped out of

Opening the Season.
Capt. Miller Everett, with bia plucky
squad, opens tbeTootball season at the
TraioiDg School park on next Friday,
Sept. 25, at 3:30.
mm, in ft nrsi game 01 tne season,
will doubtless be a snappy one from the
beginning to the end. Obion claims to
have a fast and a winning team this
year. The Training School also claims
that they will not lose a game. There
are some new men to be developed but
when coach Turner has scot them to
the field of play you will see some of
Dan McGugin's blood flowing in the
veins of his team. With Ardulie King
at full, Kussell R. at right half, Miller
Everett at left is!f, Bob McConnell at
quarter, Marshall Wright at left end,
Robert Alexander at right end, Easter
wood and Posey at tackles, T. Haynes
and Richard Waters at guards, E. Wil
son at center and David Stalcup and
Herbert Hardy to use if necessary, then
how can Capt. Everett's team lose?
The schedule is about complete now.
Obion, Martin, Clinton, Trenton, Mc'
Kenzie, and probably M. U. 8. at Mem
phis and Fulton at Fulton, also Hunt
irsgdon. Th8 dt-f cames at borne
are: Sept. 25, Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24.
There is no reason why the people of
this city should not attend these home
games. Football is by far a better game
than baseball and much more beneficial
to the boys, as it brings out the better
man. The statistics will show that the
injuries received in football are fewer
than in baseball. Football is not at all
the old-time game of the knock down
and drag out type. Its ruling, which
is very strict, is such that a boy is com
pel led to play nothing but a clean and
manly game from every standpoint.
Let everybody come out to these
games. 11 you don t know tne game
it will take but a short while to learn
You will soon see that there is no com
parison in the games. You will also
find that the boys get far more out of
the football game. ,
City Council.
Nothing special came up for consid
eration before the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen last Tuesday night. There
were a lot matters disposed of in the
way of discharging committees and lay
ing over petitions until the finances are
in better condition.
The board was petitioned for a heat
ing plant for tne gymnasium and tne
swimming pool, but this was referred
for consideration.
