MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
PLAN FOR UNION CITY
Improvement in Schools, Public
Highways, Aviation, Etc.
What part Union City and Obion
County are to play in the forward
movement of the reconstruction and
reorganization period was suggested
for consideration and action by the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen last
Tuesday night.
Many of our people will probably
awake very slowly, but they must
arouse themselves or be overtaken
by the current of renewed impetus
and energy which is surely coming as
the soldiers, homeward bound, come
trooping in filled with cosmopolitan
enthusiasm and ideals. ' They will
come regenerated from the limits of
provincialism to the larger and big
ger things of the world, and they
will be imbued with the spirit of the
age.
Mayor Pittmr.n disclosed plans now
under consideration to establish
State and national aerir.l mail routes
and public highways a3 a part of the
work contemplated by the Govern
ment in utilizing much of the army
equipment for civic improvements
and progress. The airplanes and
trucks in the different cantonments
are to be assembled in units for use
in mail service and in the transpor
tation of parcel post matter, etc. The
Government will proceed to estab
lishmcnt the aerir.l mail routes and
the public highways for this purpose
Plans have already boon matured for
the aerial routes and Government
agents are now at work getting the
proper data, etc., for this purpose
Later on plans will be matured for
the highways. The motor trucks
will thus be brought into general
use. And to carry out this work the
Government will probably, at least
these things have been indicated,
proceed along the Hnc3 already pro
vided for in the enactments for the
public high wr.ys. A3 we understand
it, in the improvement of the public
highways, Congress ha3 provided first
for establishing the routes and when
these route3 have been adopted to
co-operate with the State and coun
ty in the construction of highways,
each to pay one-third of the cost of
construction, the maintenance to be
imposed upon the counties, but at
the end of a period of six years the
Government again to participate in
the reconstruction of these routes.
Mayor Pittman suggested and the
board adopted a motion to meet with
the County Court and co-operate
with that body in such measures as
will be deemed proper and essential
to take care of Obion County's inter
ests in these improvements. The
board as a body wa3 therefore ap
pointed as a committee to meet with
the members of the County Court.
Another very commendable step
was taken with respect to the City
Schools in a vote to appropriate funds
for the purchase of a suitable chem
ical laboratory for the high school.
This will be done at a comparatively
small outlay, including the proper
drainage in the laboratory depart
ment of the building.
A number of routine matters were
disposed of. One was the water
metre proposition, metres first to be
installed at the manufacturing and
business locations and then, when
the proper relation of the residence
section connections have been de
termined, to proceed with that part
of the work.
It was also decided, after a report
of the Joint committee last week was
read, to keep the public library open,
the Board of Education agreeing to
supervise the work of keeping it. in
order. A new teacher employed by
the Board of Education is also to
have the position of librarian.
The Realm of Night.
The good women of this vicinity
are very busy with the work of se

spective congregations. They are al
so to have a collection taken for this
purpose.

This 3d day of Dec. 1918.
J. N. RUDDLE, Clerk.
Chester Hollomon.
The sad news that Chester was
dangerously ill came over the wires
from Louisville, Ky., where he was
in camp, to his mother in Kenton,
Tenn. As quickly as possible she and
her husband were on the way to his
bedside. All that medical skill and
best of nursing could do failed to
check the dreadful disease, pneu
monia. He gradually grew worse,
while his mother stood by helpless
as the tears rolled down her cheeks
and her prayers silently went up to
the father from a bleeding heart in
behalf of her suffering boy.
We believe that on the 29th of
October the gentle spirit of Chester
bid adieu to the tenement of clay in
which it had dwelt nearly twenty
three years and wended its way to
the home of departed saints, the
beautiful city of God, there to live
with all who have "washed their
robes and made them white in the
blood of the Lamb." No, h is not
dead but liveth on though unseen
by man. Why do we say this in such
confidence? Because, while young,
"before the evil day drew nigh," he
surrendered his life to God in full
obedience to the gospel requirements,
took his place in the Church of Christ
and lived a consistent life. His life
less body was brought back to Ken
ton, his home, and after a few re
marks by the writer in the presence
of a large audience in the C. P.
Church, his body wa3 borne to the
beautiful city of the dead (Sunny
side) by his brethren of the Masonic
order, there tenderly lowered into its
last resting place to await the res
urrection morn. He leaves behind a
large number of friends, many rela
tives, three brothers, two sisters, a
grandmother and a loving, heart
broken mother to mourn his loss.
When we think of his untimely death
a feeling of eadness involuntarily
passes over the soul. But by turning
to the Bible we find in the prophetic
book written by the beloved John
(Revelation), 14th chapter, 13th
verse, these words, "Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord from hence
forth; yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may re3t from their labors and
their works do follow them." Even
those of his loving ones who suffer
most can find comfort in this scrip
ture. May the Father in Heaven give
his loving friends and especially the
grandmother and mother that grace
promised the faithful sufficient to en
able them to bow and "kiss the rod"
saying "Thy will be done" is the
prayer of GENTRY REYNOLDS.
