Force Reduced to Eighty Hands-A Pre-
sentatiOn to Foreman white.
The force in the manufacturing
department at the Arsenal was re-
duced to about eighty hands last
Saturday by the discharge of forty
of the leather-wOTke rs. These en-
ployes have been engaged in maxi
ing leather straps for the haversacks
and knapsacks, and, as they have
enough straps made up for the pres
ent order, their services could no
longer be used. The remainder Of
the force, who are mostly women
who work in the cloth department,
VII be retained in employ for three
or four weeks longer. Mai Greer is
still bending his energies toward
having this Arsenal made a perma-
nent manufacturing poirt, and the
citizens of Columbia sincerely hope
his cOmmendable efforts will meet
with success.
Although Uncle Samuel keeps his
employees busy during work-time,
the hours recess at noon is made a
time of much enjoyment and recre-

Friday an interesting little scene
transpired in the mems work-rOOm
down stairs. The entire force was
invited into the room, with the as
surance that there was surprise in
store for someone. And an agree
able one it proved to be. Mr.. Kill
len, one of the employees, called the
meeting to order and, in nice little
speech and in behalf of the retiring
workmen, presented handsome
gold watch chain to their foreman,
Mr.. H. l.. White, in token of the es-
TEEN in which they held him and in
recognition of his efficient manage
ment. Mr.. White, in a few we'll
chosen words. thanked his cOmpan-
ions for their kindness toward him.
There are number of excellent
elocutionists among the employees,
and frequently they meet and have
recitals from Shakespeare, comic
recitations, impromptu address on
the issues of the day, etc.

Mr. Horace Rsiney Has Sold Hts Apple
Crop to Northern Parties.

Mr. Horace Rainey Has Sold HIS Apple
Crop to Northern Parties.
Mr.. Horace Rainey has sold to T.
w. Thorn & Co., Of Philadelphia, his
crop Of winter apples, on the trees,
for the cash consideration OF $4,000.
Thorn q Co. are large exporters Of
apples, and this crop is reported by
them as the best they have yet seen
in the South, and they will ship
them direct to the European mar
ket. .~..
Here Is an object lesson to the
farmers and fruit growers Of Maury
county, which, if learned, will put
many shining silver dollars into
their pockets. There are those who
have doubted the feasibility of rails
ing apples on large scale in Maury
county; but when one mans crop Is
sold on the trees fer $3.50, 10 be
shipped for foreign consumption, and
is pronounced by the buyers as the
best seen in the South, there must
certainly be something in 1t. This
is netths first time Mr.. Rainey has
thus disposed Of his appte crop.

A Bit of Wisdom That was Emitted

listenin' to.
Il have been good deal Interest,"
ed in the opinion advanced by the
younger single ladies that husband
can best be kept in hand by shown
him that you are his superior mental-
ly, and also in that Of the younger
married ladies, that the clingin' vine
does not need to manage the sturdy
oak; likewise, the reluctant COMES,
sions or bold assertions, as the Case
might be, of the ladies who have been
longer married, that a husband must.
accordin' to his disposition, receive
either supine obedience or tyranny and
the lash, and lastly, by the-ah1h'm!
deliberately yelled willingness of the
more mature maiden ladies to accept
almost any state OF affairs that has a
husband tied to 1t.
81 have been considerably entertain
ed by all these theories, as said be-
fore, but / am free to confess that !
can't conscientiously indorse them
further than to remark that they are a
good deal like what the newspapers
call glitterin' generalities. Bein' as

woman was ever blessed with, and al.
so fourth, of whom about the best
thing can say is that he was nc
great shakes, kinder think l am
moderately we'll qualified to speak on
the subject of husband management as
one havin' authority and not as the
Scribes, so to put it; and, such bein'
the case, am forced to confess that
the only infallible way to manage a
husband that l know of is to feed him
well and trust to luck"
