Interesting Debate.
The Wilaonlan and Allen literary
societies appreciate tho deep interest
and enthusiasm displayed last Fri
day night over the debate, "Resolved,
that the commission form of govern
ment would be better for Union City
than the council mayor system."
Quite a number of the citizens of
the town were presenf including the
mayor, board of aldemen and board
of education. However, there were
not as many present as we had an
ticipated, in view of the fact that the
question was one which pertained to
the progress of our own home town.
The debater, for tho affirmative
side were Louise Spradlin and Kath
leen. Arnold, those for the negative
side, Curtis Ruddle and Gladys
Wheeler. Point3 were presented on
both sides which showed a careful
study of the character of Union City's
government.
The Judges were, Prof. Cravens, of
Rives, Mr. J. L. Fry and Mrs. J. C.
McRee, of this city. After careful
and seriou3 consideration, a decision
was reached in favor of the affirma
tive. V
We hope the intense interest and
the effects shown during the debate
will not end here, but will work to
ward the progress of Union City, as
was the intention.
Evangelistic Services.
The revival at the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church continues with
Increasing interest from day to day.
Union City has never heard more
soul-stlrringr messages and purer gos
pel truths than those delivered by
Mrs. Morris. She is a strong expo
nent of the faith delivered to our
fathers and condemns in plainest
terms them who profess Christ and
serve the devil. The influence of this
good woman will doubtless live long
in our town and be the means of
making many beter.
The mooting will continue at least
until Sunday night.
Peddler Robbed.
At a point between Obion and
Troy Tuesday night, George Crier, a
peddler, living in the vicinity of
Troy, was hem up and robbed of
1240.00. He said two heavily mask
ed men did the job. He could not
tell whether they N were wtyte or
black. " No clue.
Thanksgiving Dance.
