The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-04-28

The Pulaski correspondent to the
Nashville American says:
THE only person To whom the
new redistricting bill seems to have
brought unalloyed pleasure in these
parts is Attorney General Frank
Boyd. The addition OF Williamson
county to the Ninth Circuit is well
coined by him because, having the
Congressional "bee" in his bonnet,
he is glad of the opportunity to at
tend the courts at Franklin and
thereby extend his already wide ac-
quaintance.
THE addition of Williamson
county to the Ninth Circuit will
bring this circuit about back to it's
old shape of twenty years ago.
Judge Holding is required by the
new appOrtionment to hold court in
both Pulaski and WaynesbOrO at
the same time, and on the same days
of March, July and November. How
he is to accomplish this without the
aid of Deputy Judge he has not
yet fully decided, but will probably
name Attorney Benager Childers
of this bar, as Deputy, if called upon
to appoint"
The supposition is that this con-
t1icting of dates was caused by an
error in printing the bill, and where
it reads first Monday" twice, it
should be Fourth Monday" in one
! place.

City Grain Il Feed Company Get Their

The City Grain & Feed Company
yesterday received the full amount
of insurance for the loss they sus-
tanned by their mill being destroyed
by fire on Thursday night of last
week. The adjusters arrived We'd
nesday, and, after looking over the
policies and hearing the facts con-
corning the fire, called for meeting
with the insured yesterday morning.
A hour thereafterwards all adjust
ments were made, the companies
making no objection to paying the
full amount of the insurance-$S,5 SOC
and asking no time or discount
The insurance was carried in the
following companies, represented by
Gordon u Rutledge, agents: New
York Underwriters, $4,000; Hartford
1000; Magdeburg, $4,000; North
British, $1,000.
This is remarkably quick settle
land reflects credit upon Messrs

companies they represented. 1t il

Extension Of the FOur.Mlle Law.

While the local option bill was de-
feated, the Legislature passed "A bill
which makes long step in that di.
rection, aud which was even more
than the local option advocates ex-
pected. AT every session local OPP
tion comes up, and after some dis
cussion the bill is rejected.
This time, however, the advocates
OF prohibition adopted different
course, and in addition to making
the fight straight on the local option
bill, there was another measure
introduced which allows towns under
1000 inhabitants to incorporate
without being forced to grant license
for the sale of liquor. The bill was
introduced in the Senate by Mr.
Turner, who did some earnest work
to secure It's passage. Towns of the
size mentioned can surrender their
charter and reincorporate under the
new law. McKensie took advantage
of the law and had its old charter
abolished and was reincOrpOrated
and the result is that it is IA dry town
to- day.-NashvIlle American.

George KEENAN, tells in the Out

Americanized. American hotels
and restaurants bearing such names
as the "Luttrell House," the United
States hotel" the american and
French hotel" the "Arizona saloon"
the "California saloon" and the
Chicago restaurant" are now to be
found in all parts of the city; and
the proprietors even of Cuban and
Spanish cafes invite American
patronage by means of rudely-
painted signboards setting forth in
quaint English the merits of the
food, drink or entertainment to be
found therein. Among such signs
that he noted in the course ola days
walk about the city were:
