one family to adopt two orphans.

New Well Completed.
Mr. Claude Allen, manager of the
Water and Light Works, is happy to
announce to the people of Union City
that we have a new deep well, fur
nishing the same kind of pure drink
ing water that came from the old
well, which ran almost dry in Decem
ber. The new well, 541 feet deep,
is only eight inches in diameter, yet
the flow of water is greater than the
old one. The old well, 538 feet deep
and ten inches in diameter, had a
capacity of 680 gallons an hour,
while the new well flows 800 gallons
an hour. The new well is now in
use and the water is said to be
equally, as fine as the old one. The
workmen are now busy locating the
trouble with the old well. If both
can bo used Union City will have
a large supply of the finest water in
the world.

Police Court.
There was a busy session of the
Mayor's Court Monday afternoon at
the City Hall. Two young men were
fined for fighting and four for dis
turbing the peace. One of the inci
dents occured in a business house
and the ' other at the Elks
Home. In regard to the latter
it seems that the four young
men were not pleased because
they had not been invited either to
take part in the arrangements or to
attend the dance and proceeded to
enter uninvited and raise a rough
house. They were fined $50 each.
The young men also appeared before
Esq. S. R. Bratton in the samo place
and submitted their cases.
RIVES.
Mesdames M. C. Harris and W. E,
Agnew visited in Union City Mon
day. Mrs. W. H. Cravens and mother,
Mrs. Childress, spent Friday and

Mr. and Mrs. Pybas Rogers were
end of the week guests of Mr. and
Mrs. McCaw. Mrs. McCaw has the
flu.
H. A. Tune has the flu. Mr. Tune
is our new road commissioner, ap

Couri.
Mrs. Wilce Allen was a recent vis
itor in the county seat shopping.
Mrs. Clarence Bryson has returned
home from Moffatt.
Last week we failed to report the
quota for Eastern Relief was largely
over-subscribed.
Mr. Carmi Davis returned Satur
day from a business trip to points in
Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. John Head and Mr.
and Mrs. Dave Byrns have this
month passed the fiftieth year of
their wedding anniversaries. These
make the third couple, Mr. and Mrs.
Holland Bittick being celebrants of
several years past.
A quiet wedding was consummated
Sabbath afternoon in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Will Starnes, when
they gave their daughter, Miss Hat
tie Mai, in marriage to Mr. Wilson
Petty, Rev. J. L. . Boyd performing
the ceremony. The contracting
parties are very popular thruout the
county. Mr. and Mrs. Petty soon
take up residence near Union City.
The coils are fast drawing closer
around the bootlegger that may
catch not the man behind the gun,
but the man behind the man, that
sells the rum. Officer Bradley has a
habit of meeting the befo' day and
other morning trains. Oftentimes,
woeful is the culprit and great is the
haul of alcoholics from Cairo-ward.
If Cairo should tumble into the
Father of Waters, as we have heard
people wish, its sodden, slimy, poi
sonous wetneso would drown all the
finny tribe, which in their decay
would float to the top and kill all
the feasting fowl of the air.
Mr. Walter Warren found his roan
horse in the Woodland vicinity Sat
urday, but "What's his name and
where's his hame" that stole the
horse Friday night, for a cross-country
ride, is yet unknown. f
Edgar Shore has been out on a
ten days business trip thru the
South.
Supt. B. A. Vaughn was in town
Saturday.
Mr. Allen Wade is expected home
in the early part of February from
the vicinity of Boston.
Quite a few friends congregated
under the parental roof of Mrs. Wil
son Petty Tuesday afternoon to show
er the bride. Articles, both useful
and beautiful, thought to bo requi
sites for a matron just taking up
housekeeping were many. The hon
oree, in her attractive, unassuming
way, gratefully acknowledged favors
of friendship, extending a cordial in
vitation to call again in her new
home.
Mrs. Bob Mabry, of Union City,
was a late visitor with her daughter,
Mrs. Putnam Reeves.
We are not militaristic and we
don't want to be. Germany was;
hence her downfall. With the ex
ception of a larger navy, which we
now have and will see further ex
panded, we need take no apprehen
sion for future wars. A few months
of intensive training, backed by the
wealth of our country, easily put to
rout the forty years of military train
ing of Germany. Just now there are
questions of va3t more importance.
It remains for the returning soldiers
to decide by their vote as to the
adoption universal military train
ing, its length and scope. Their ap
proval will probably go no further
than brief stretches of camp life
with its cordons of structures to aid
the young man to properly develop
into the years of his majority. -
There are petitions and petitions.
The one so largely signed the past
week, protesting to the Legislature
the repeal of the present statute law
against selling cigarette papers and
cigarettes, is indeed pertinent to
child welfare. While adults addicted
often claim no personal harm, all
agree that the mind of a child is so
depleted by the odious habit that
an education is impossible. It was
a mistaken kindness to send this kind
of habit-forming dope to home camps
and to the forces abroad. Returning
soldiers will now and in years to
come tell you so. Surgeons abroad
have stated that the habit was a
fearful detriment to the convales
cence of wounded soldiers. Why
should we tako this backward step?
Who is it seeks to havo this law re
pealed? Our Representatives should
look to their laurels and nearly
slaughter the Wolf in lamb's clothing.
Parents, take warning and- write a
deluge of protests by next mail that
this excellent law be enforced and
not repealed.

THE SUPREMACY OF
The
AEOLIAN-VOCALION
WHEN the phonograph
was first invented, the
possibilities it would
ultimately divulge were little
dreamed of. In reality, here at
last was something for which
humanity had waited the
means iy which in time, music
in all its many beautiful forms
might be enjoyed by all.
Slowly these possibilities have
been revealed. The little me
chanical novelty almost a toy
rose to higher uses. The
tai,k.ing machine became a
MUSIC MACHINE.
Today the phonograph has de-
veloped to its ultimate goal. In
the Aeolian-Vocalion and new
Vocalion Record, phonograph
perfection has been achieved
No longer a machine of any kind,
the phonograph ; takes its new
position as a true musical in
strument. You music-lover
cannot know all the possibili
ties of the phonograph, until you
hear a Vocalion Record played
upon the Aeolian Vocalion.
Put this superb aria "Un
. Bel Di" (One Fine Day) from
Puccini's "Madame Butterfly"
upon the instrument. Listen to
Florence Easton's wonderful
tones, voice the heart-rendering
pathos the pitiful longing of
the little deserted Japanese girl.
You have never heard a record
like this before; you have never
- heard a record played like this
before.
Gone isl the stridency the
, slight metallic quality hitherto
inseparable from the phono
graph. In their place is melody
in its loveliest guise; a purer
soprano voice one of the
world's famous prima donnas
clear, rich and sweet in all
its living, breathing, natural
beauty.
1
Features of the Vocalion
TONE Due to its advanced and more
scientific construction, the Vocalion pro
duces richer, deeper, more beautiful and
more natural tones than have hitherto
been heard from the phonograph.
TONE-CONTROL The Graduola
the artistic and exclusive tone-controlling
feature of the Vocalion, enables tjie
performer to shade and color the music
as he wills. It enables anyone to partici
pate in the playing of the record, to give
voice to his own musical ideas.
APPEARANCE In both outline and
finish, the Vocalion establishes anentirely
new standard of beauty for the phono
graph. The beautiful Period Styles,
though inexpensive, are the most unusual
and artistic phonographs ever displayed.
MECHANICAL PERFECTION The
Automatic Stop on the Vocalion is an
example of the perfection in mechanical
detail characterizing this instrument.
Simple, direct and absolutely depend
able, this device is the most satisfactory
of its kind.
UNIVERSAL TONE-ARM is a notable
tribute to the skill and resource of the
Aeolian staff. It provides the means by
which every make of record can be played
upon the Vocalion. With the record situ
ation as it is today with so many dif
ferent manufacturers making records
this is the only way that all the great
artists can be heard.
