Washington Street Opposite Post office H. WILBANKS Manager Union City Tenn. Nuisance Act Wins. That a citizen can not disregard the orders of an American court with im punity was strongly evidenced in the decree of the Court of Appeals handed down in the case of the State ex rel. Attorney-General D. J. Caldwell vs. W. J. Buntin, coming up from the lower court of Lake County. The Appellate Court sustained the chancellor in de creeing that for the offense of contempt of court Buntin should serve six months on the county roads and pay a fine of $50 and all costs in the case. From the facts in the case as disclosed in the records, Buntin appears to have been operating immoral places in three towns of Lake County. In these places he is alleged to have permitted gamr ling, engaged in the sale of intoxicat ing liquors and allowed other immoral proceedings to go on about his prem ises. Citizens of TiptonviHe, one place in which Buntin was operating, sued out, with the assistance of Attorney- General D. J. Caldwell, a writ of in junction under the nuisance act of 1913 restraining said Buntin from operating these "joints." Chancellor McKinney granted the writ and it was duly served on Buntin, but Buntin, it appears from the record, paid little attention to the writ, treating it with that disrespect that is said to be shown red-headed stepchildren. A special officer, some what of a detective, was employed by certain citizens of TiptonviHe, and sev ral days thereafter twelve negroes were dragged into city court. The ne had been arrested in Buntin 's o place on the charge of craps-shooting, and Buntin, instead of kicking them out of his place as undesirables, showed a very friendly spirit by paying their finps amnuntine in all to $47. All de nied their guilt, however, and Buntin likewise denied that they were shooting craps. But Chancellor iMcKinney got wind of the fact that the places were still operating and says to Mr. Buntin: "You are guilty of coutempt of court, having disregarded the orders relative to the writ of injunction. I'll fine you $50, tax you with the costs and send you to the county roads for six months. " Buntin appealed from the decision .of the lower court, but the Court of Ap peals saw Dothing in the records or argu ments of Buntin 's counsel to prevent them from putting their stamp of ap proval on Chancellor McKinney's ac tion in the matter. Is He Humorous? If Lincoln McConnell is humorous it is not just for the fun of the tbing. He understands more of the vernacular of the different people than any one we know of, and it comes from an associa tion with these different classes.

Salesmen J. B. Sanders, of Huntingdon, and John A. Box, of Waverly, arrived on the west bound train at noon. They, together with the Martin office force, marched in a body to the Anderson Hotel, where a special dinner had been prepared for them. T. H. Farmer, general man ager, took his place at the head of one of the long tables, spoke appropriate words of greeting and called upon Mr. Stroud, of Union City, to return thanks. After partaking of a splendid dinner they went immediately to the office of the company and the stockholders held a meeting and elected the following officers for the year 1915: W. N. Love lace, president; E. N. Lovelace, vice president and buyer; T. H. Farmer, general manager; Dr. E. B. Little, as sistant manager; K. H. Warren, secre tary and treasurer. The directors elect ed are: W. N. Lovelace, T. H. Farmer, E. N. Lovelace, Dr. E. B. Little, Geo. E. Farmer, A. D. Fuqua. Immediately after the election of . offi cers the salesmen were invited into the meeting and a report of the year's work was made by the secretary, showing the amount of goods each salesman had sold in his territory during 1914, as compared with former years. While the stringency of the times has caused quite a falling off of sales, and the company had experienced some failures over the large territory they work, yet it was shown they had done fairly well under these adverse conditions. Each salesman was called onto make a speech 12.00 9.0Q and up. We are selling everything in our house for a limited time at At Actual Cost Jo A. Coble, Son & Co In Memory of Our Darling. The angel of death has again un furled its wings over the home of Mr, and Mrs. W. T. Nichols, claim ing for its victim their sweet little daughter, Dorris White. She was born October 3, 1914, and departed this life January 20, 1915. xnougn ner stay witn us was very short, but sweet, her constant smil ing little face soon won her many friends, and all were so devoted to her. We are oftimes prone to won der why God in his infinite love and wisdom chooses for his home those that are so dearly loved, honored and seemingly to us so much needed in this world. But God is a just God, and knows best. Perhaps he needed another angel, one without spot or blemish, to join his Heavenly home, and perhaps he saw in the near future the pains, trials ,aiid troubles that so oftimes come to his children here; therefore knowing her sweetness and purity he called her for his own. So let us be con- t.entpll With tho tVimiu-Vit that mm anu oner any suggesuon respecting nis darlin wa too nrfiM . . territory, anu ror tne improvement in and too sweet for this world order to get oetter ana more business, We know it was hard to give her etc. These speeches were all very in- up, hard to say good bye to meet no teresting and the manager and credit more on earth.

This was a very successful meeting and all the salesmen seemed to be strengthened, encouraged and more determined to put forth greater effort to obtain more and better business for their company than in any of the years past. After all the salesmen and others bad spoken making suggestions from their view point tne , chairman spoke at some length, thanking the employes for their great loyalty to him and the company, telling them how much he appreciated each one of them, and sincerely hoped to retain the service of every one, that they might work together harmoniously for many years in the future as they had in the past. Immediately after the meeting, T. A Wootton came to the company's office and made a photograph of the stock holders and employes who were pres ent, immediately in front of the com pany's building. Martin Mail. Death of Mrs. E. D. Turnage. Mrs. Sallie M. Turnage died last Wed nesday at the family residence in Troy after several years' illness of tubercu losis.

The deceased had for many years been a member of the Methodist Church. The deceased leaves a husband, two daughters, Mrs. Basil Maxwell and Miss Frankie, two sons, Oscar and Finis, a sister, Mrs. John Norton, and a brother, Mr. P. L. Wiles.

God giveth and taketh away. Some live to their three score and ten, while many are taken in the bloom of life Still many more are, as was our lit tle Dorris, taken in their infancy and purity. There is never a time but the Savior knows best. But owing to our great weakness here we often ask the question: Oh, why in thy grasp, Oh, why in thy power, Hast thou broken the stem Of such a lovely flower? Dorris leaves father, moher, three sisters and three brothers, one her twin who will never know the sweet little sister who was so near and some day would have been so dear; also wo grandmothers and Uncle Herman and Aunt Eunice who loved her so dearly, and who was always anxious to get to that little bed where there was always a smile to give us a welcome. But we know she is now at rest, and we could never wish her back to this old world of sorrow and sin, but re membering that some day we must pay the same debt. And we hope to live that we may meet our dar ling, Dorris, and press her again to our hearts as in this world. Dear father and mother, we ask you to weep not as those who have no hope. But bear in mind that you have another tie to bind you heavenward; that she is only trans planted in to a better world and is now singing with the loved of earth there helping to make home for you and waiting with that sweet little smile and outstretched arms to meet your coming, be it soon or late. The funeral services were very im pressively rendered by Brother Las ley. Interment at Stovall Cemetery. AUNT EUNICE. Heal Estate Transfers. T. R. Reynolds and wife to Ada M.
