REVIVAL MEETING AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
Dr. J. W. GUloa in a Series of High-
Power Sermons.
The meeting at the Baptist Church
is in full swing. Dr. Gillon, of May
field, some years ago pastor of the
local pulpit, preached his first ser
mon Monday morning. He is deliver
ing a series of sermons, the topics be
ing published and distributed all
over tho city. The first three even
ing topics are called "Playing the
v Devil," etc., and on Wednesday even
ing the full title of the topic was
"Playing the Devil Yet Some More,
or Some Thingo I Would Do to the
. Sinners if I Were the Devil to Keep
Men from Being Saved
- The auditorium and aisles on Wed
nesday evening were crowded. There
is a large chorus of voices and tho
singing is exceptionally fine. Every
body seems to be interested.
Dr. Gillon began by reading a text
and then launched out, assuming for
this particular sermon the first per
son, or the devil, and the things he
would do if he were the devil. The
. first would be to discredit and deny
tho inspiration of the Bible. The
world is full of thi3 to-day. There is
an effort to overthrow our govern
ment, and the agencies in this work
are the anarchists, the I. W. W,
and socialists. The first attack is to
be made upon the Bible, the funda
mental law upon which the Ameri
can government is founded. And
these, the preacher branded in vivid
language as the agencies of hell. If
these powers prevail, says the preach
er (and they are moving heaven and
earth "to destroy the Bible )r-the
world will be thrown into a war so
horrlble-that the late war will seem
in comparison like times of peace.
11 i were the devil," say3 tbe
preacher I would next scatter the
seed of infidelity in the schools. The
State schools and universities" are
full of this to-day. They are teach
ing the Darwin theory of evolution
County Election.
The Obion County primary election
returns appear in another column of
the paper. There was no very great
surprise in the general result.
Sheriff Watt Cherry, for re-election,
led the vote with a total of
3026. Mr. Bob McCain's ' vote was
1318. Mr. Armour Ratliff va3 re
elected Trustee by a majority of 683
Mr. Cox, who came out late in the
campaign, received a very creditable
vote. The totals were Ratliff, 24S7';
Cox, 1804. The Register's race was
practically a three-sided contest as
follows: Edwards, 1598; Chapel,
1089; Miss Nichols, 980. Tho other
candidates for Register ran as fol
lows: Noonan, 463; Passmore, S31;
Mrs. Marshall, 36.
Messrs. Bond and Ruddle, candi
dates respectively for County Court
Clerk and Clerk of the Circuit Court,
had no opposition.
The candidates elected are all ex
ceptionally fine men. They are good
officers, tried and true. There is a
good word also for those who failed at
the polls. They made a good race,
and perhaps some of them in a future
election may be successful. The elec
tion was quiet and orderly. A good
feeling existed between the candi
dates and the campaign was remark
ably free from questionable politics,
It is good at times like these to
make such a report.
Election Wards.
It is very apparent to those who
have been in charge of the reoent
elections in Union City and Civil Dis
trict Number Thirteen that there
must be more than one voting pre
cinct or ward in the city or district,
It has come to a point where there
is going to be trouble to get men to
serve as election officers. It takes
all day to hold the election and un
til 11 o'clock at night to-get thru
with the count ' and then some of
the officers have to go several miles
to reach home. There are a number
of disagreeable and irksome things
about our elections. The poll books
are not large enough tu embrace a
systematic record, of the vote. They
are filled up somehow, but the count
is crowded and confusing. We un
derstand that this question was
raised once before."
Certainly there could be no logical
ohlection to a division of the vote in-
and undermining tho revelation giv- to wards or precincts. On the other
They too are. trying hand the advantages would be im
portant. One of these, in addition
to those already mentioned, would be
to expedite the counting of the vote,
and tho reports of the entire county
would be more promptly returned.
There is to be another city election
next. January and the County Court
should by all means make some pro
visions for a better arrangement for
the holding of elections. There were
260Q in the last general registration
in Number Thirteen, and these peo
ple cannot all vote at one polling
place in a single day.

me," says the preacher, "I am talking
about your public high schools and
universities."

Road to Samburg.
Tho proposed road from Union City
to Samburg, which the County High
way Commissioners have been under
taking to lay out and finance, has
not so far made any great headway.
There have been three surveys made
and the route is yet undecided. The
question is whether the Clayton or
the ridge route will be accepted, and
tbe whole matter was deferred to Mr.
Buchanan by the county commission
ers. Mr. Buchanan will not decide
until he has more advico from the
engineers. But as soon as he does,
the work of laying out the new and
Improving the old roadbed will be
gin. v The advantages of this read to
Union City are incalculable. - Mr.
.Buchanan has been doing some fine
road work in the county, and we can
rest assured that he can, after he has
all the surveys and facts at hand, be
depended upon to decide and give us
a fine roadway to Reeffoot Lake.

Missed First Shots, Followed
Three Blocks, Charge.-
Greenfield, Tenn. Aug. 7. Bullet
wounds received last night from a
pistof in the hands of M. F. Swear
ingen caused the death this morning
of Joe Bonds, of Jackson, Illinois Cen
tral Engineer, at Fulton, Ky., where
he had been taken for treatment. The
shooting ' occurred at Sharon, near
here. Bonds was local engineer on
the I. C. train to Fulton and Swear
ingen is cashier of the Farmers Bank
at Sharon.
Swearingen surrendered when he-
met the sheriff on the street a short
time later and is at liberty on $10,
000 bond, signed by 33 townsmen.
, Reports of the affair say that the
shooting occurred - in Swearlngen's

him twice. ' -

and returned to Sharon. His wife had
left Jackson on the Seminole Limited,

reached Sharon it was flagged and
the wounded man placed aboard. His
wife learned oi it and was by his side
the remainder of the journey and
until his death this morning.
