Branham & Hughes Defeat Peoples
& Morgan by Score of Is to Is.
Both Teams Fought Like Young Tigers.-Touch-
down That Won the Game For B. & H. Scored
Within Last Ten Seconds of Play.

The biggest game of foot ball ever
seen in Columbia. was the game played
last week between the Branham q
Hughes team of Spring Hill and
/ the Peoples q Morgan team of
Fayetteville.
! A special train of six coaches from
Fayetteville brought in the neighbor-
hood of four hundred foot ball en-
thusiasts from that town and other
towns, en- route. The train from
Spring Hill also brought in large
delegation and neither team lacked for
rooters. Columbia leading business
houses were all closed, and the town
turned out en- masse. Several hun
bred yelling enthsuiasts greeted the
twenty-five stalwart knights as they
trotted out on the gridiron, at $3.50
p. M to the call of the referees
whistle.
Both teams were in fine condition
and played fast, fierce, snappy ball
throughout, never letting up for an
instant except when Captain Davis
Thornton, of the Peoples q Morgan
team was knocked out, which hap
pened early in the first half.
Captain Thornton received blow
on the head that laid him out as limp
as rag for several minutes. BY
advice Of the physician, he was taken
from the field, and heavy lap robes
were brought from buggies and car
rlages near and spread several deep
upon the ground just outside the line.

and carefully nursed back to conscious
ness. He had somewhat recovered
before the game was over and express

Der of physicians Of Maury county as
sembled at the Bethel House Mon
day for the purpose OF taking steps
LOOKING to the permanent organization
of Maury County Medical Society.
The meeting was called to order by
DIR. Savage, who in few well chosen
words expressed his pleasure in meet
Ing so representative body Of medical
gentlemen. He ably exhibited the
excellent ends of medical organization
and explained in detail the compare
lively recent radical changes that had
taken place in the constitution and
inter- relation Of National, State and
County Medical organizations. He
pointed out that whereas heretofore
the several units of organization, viz !:
county, state, national, had been
somewhat loosely confederated, the
new order provided for more clearly
defined bonds and much greater
degree Of inter dependence between
them. The Doctor closed his address
with the suggestion that a temporary
organization be at once affected On
motion DR.. Halle Padgett was chosen
Temporary Chairman and Dr. Otey j.
Porter, Secretary. After some dis
cussion motion providing for the
appointment OF committee on the

A SMALL BLAZE
Causes Quite Good Deal OF
Excitement.

The negro porter at the Herald office
while filing the gasoline engine with
gasoline Tuesday morning, spilled lot
of it on the floor; and then. niger like,
dropped lighted match on top Of it;
and OF course there was very quick
fire; and being 80 close to the engine
which was full Of gasoline, it was
alarming. and the boys vacated that
Office hatless and coatless Not only
were the pri tiers stampeded, but other
occupants Of the building were prepar-
ing to vacate in quick order; and the
excitement spread rapidly, all for fear
the engine would explode.
But the engine was not on fire; it was
only the spilled gasoline burning itself
out. The Chemical engine was called
for and one minute after the arrival OF
the fire laddies the fire was cut and the
floor was not even charred.
The Herald returns its thanks to the
firemen for their prompt and efficient
service.

retained throughout the remainder of
the game.
The two teams were evenly matched
the Branham d Hughes team being
just little more active, while the
Peoples q Morgan had an advantage
of an average of ten pounds more
weight. The Branham & Hughes boys
stripped, averaged 140 lbs while the
Peoples & Morgan team had an aver
age of 100 lbs.
The weather was chilly for the spec
tators, but all that could be desired
for the players; the field, however,
being slightly muddy, was heavy and
slow.
The game was a battle royal and
both teams fought like tigers. Bran
ham & Hughes on winning this game
easily carry off the championship
honors for preparatory schools in Ten
nessee.

ROBBERY AZ MEANWHILE.
Tin and Butcher Shops of Frank
Maddux Entered and Robbed.

McMinnville, Tenn, December L.
Considerable excitement prevailed on
orr streets this morning when it be-
came known that the tin shop and
butcher shop of Frank Maddux had
been robbed during the night. The
burglary was not discovered until Mr..
Maddux opened his store this morning,
when he found his safe open, the
money drawer missing and something
over $40 gone. Mr.. Maddux thinks the
thief failed to set the combination on
the safe. In that even the work may
be that of some hanger-on who had
cause to suspect that only the day lock
was on. If it was the work of professional
it was neat job. as the safe was opened
without injury except to the drawers.
The former theory is thought to be cor
rect. There is no clue as yet to the
perpetrators.

AN OLD COLD
Is Catarrh. and Catarrh Leads
to Consumption.

| The tendency Of catarrh of the head
is to pass downward through the bron-
chial tubes to the lungs. Any one who
more finds the disease gradually pro-
crossing downward. In some cases the
progress is rapid, and in other cases it Is
slow; but sooner or later if catarrh is
| allowed to run, it will go to the lungs
| and set up the disease known as con-
sumption. 1t is doubtful if consumption
is ever caused by anything except ca
tarrh.
The catarrh usually begins as cold in
the head or throat, and is neglected until
it becomes chronic; then it begins to
dawn on the victim that he has catarrh.
Unless he is very foolish indeed he will
not rest easy until the catarrh is entirely
cured. Thousands pay no attention to
it until it is too late.
Mrs. J. Priest, Lee, Mich, writes :-"T
think there is no medicine on earth that
excells Peruna. My husband won't take
any other. We have tested it and it
worked great change in my sons
health last spring when we thought he
was going into consumption. We gave
him only one bottle and he was all right.

it has done us. My husband says he
can't do without it. AS for myself it

bottle could see to read as well as ever.

BODY KEPT FOR WEEKS.

New York Woman Had Horror of Be-
ing Buried Alive.
New York, Jan. 21.-For more than
two weeks the body of Miss Julia
White has remained unburied at the
home of her parents in the village OF
Gaines, says a Rochester, N. Y, spe-
cial to The Journal and Advertiser
Her dying request was that burial
should not take place until it was alb
solutely certain that she was dead.
How soon the interment will occur
has not yet been announced. Her
death took place Jan. 4, and two days
later the funeral services were held
at the family residence. Friends of
the family say the face of the dead
woman bears an extremely lifelike ap-
pearance, Notwithstanding the fact
that the family have not permitted the
undertaken in charge to use any en-
balming fluid or other preservative
During her life of about 80 years Miss
White often expressed great dread
and fear of being buried alive.
