Growth of Every Department Shows
That the Congregation Is Pro
gressive and United In
Effort.
INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP.

The annual report of the work OF the
Baptist church for the year past was
made to the congregation Sunday. and
it was such a satisfactory one from
every view point, that the Herald
thinks it deserves special mention. 1t
shows very clearly that the pastor,
Rev. Spencer Tunnel, and his con-
greeation are entirely in unison In
christian spirit and effort, and have
been thoroughly alive to the interests
Of the church The present member
ship is 449, about one-fourth OF which
has been built up during the past
year. There are several yet to be bap-
tized and this will make the additions
for the year over 100. The amount OF
money collected and paid out and the
fine attendance at Sunday school also
shows the progressive character OF the
congregation. The work of the church
is embodied in the following report,
referred to above: Home church

giant hippopotamus. 1t is magnih-

source OF study foI the student OF
nature. Very few people can tell
whether a hippopotamus is web footed,
or whether it has teeth. The average
person does not know that il is an
animal allied to the elephant; that il
has thick and heavy body, shoft
legs. terminated by four toes; short
tail, skin without hair, except at the
extremity of its tail, and that 1t feeds

MR.. 7. c. BROOKS

Corn of Wonderful Merit.
BIG EAR AT HERALD OFFICE
Outweighs and outmeasures Ordinary
Corn and Will Make Fifteen
Barrels to the Acre.

TO. Brooks, of Hampshire, brought
ITO the Herald office Monday an ear
uof corn that ought to prove OF decided
sipterest to the farmers OF Maury county.
IL is of the variety known as the Iowa
SILVER Nine" which has been little
grown in this section, but Mr.. Brooks
has been giving it a thorough test for
the last five years. The ear on exhibi-
Nioo at the Herald office is twelve inches
long, averages nine inches in circum,
ference. contains 1900 large, long, full
Grains, each Of which is firm and fauit
less. On the same stalk from wnich
this ear was taken there we're two others
almost az large. This is the hfth
wear of Mr.. Brooks trial of this corn
and it has grown larger and better with
each succeeding year. 1t Will weigh
ont and measure out great deal more
to the bushel than any other corn grown
in this part of the state. The climate
and soil of Maury county seem to be
peculiary we'll adapted to its growth
Mr.. Brooks has grown thirteen barrels 20
the acre and will DO better than that
this wear and expects 1t to yield at least
fifteen barrels to the acre. AnotneI
advantage OF this corn 10 that tne
,stalks grow only eight or nine fee'
tall and do not shade the ground
Farmers who are interested are inviteo
to call and examine the ear at the deraio

DR.. LEROY
ExpIOdes the Popular Fal acy
About the Cabbage Snakes.
MADE THOROUGH TEST
And Reports to Commissioner ogilvle
That It Is Not Snake and Is
Periec ly Harmless.

DR.. Louis Leroy. State bacteriologist,
IN his report to W. W. Ogilvie, Com
missioner of Agriculture has effectually
killed the cabbage snake tuga bar and
declares it not to be snake at all and
that it is perfectly harmless. In his
report he says:
1.-The so-called snake belongs to one
Of the lower orders of family of
Gordiidate, and the individual itself is
known scientifically as Mermis Abb
cans. This animal is neither snake
nor insect, but one of the forms of
worms. In its adult state it lives
upon the cabbage leaf. but does not
subsist upon it. so that the cabbage is
in no wise Injured by its presence. 1t
lays its eggs in large numbers, which
eggs are eaten by caterpillars, and in
the body of the caterpillars they hatch,
forming the embryo worm. These
embryos grow at the expense of the
caterpillar until they reach sexual
maturity, when the body of the cater
pillow is ruptured and the worm set
free to again live their external adult
life. In this way they become quite
factor In the destruction of the cater
pillar and are to that extent beneficial
to the cabbage crop.
POISON STORIES UNTRUE.
II have entered into correspondence
with localities from which cases of
alleged poisoning from the eating of
cabbage containing these worms have
been reported and find in every case
that the reports are without founda-
tion, and that no authentic case can
be cited. In order to determine
whether or not the worm itself had
any poisonous qualities / have carried
on an extensive series of experiments
upon rabbits, Guinea pigs anu the
domestic animals, and find that they
can all eat the worms raw or cooked,
with IMMUNITY. l have also made
extracts from the worms with all the
various solvents which extracts were
found to be entirely innocuous, both
internally and when injected hypoder-
mically. Believing that possibly the e
worms might cause decomposition or
fermentation in cabbage, with the
production of POISONOUS substances.
the result OF decomposition, / allowed
samples of cabbage, raw and cooked,
to decompose in the presence OF the
worms, and then tested these decom
posed substances foI poisonous proper
ties as before, and found that in no
case was any injurious substance pro-
duced. / also made chemical analyses
of the worms and products of decompo-
sition and was unable to find any
ptomaine or other isolatabie substance
which was toxic in any way. can.
therefore, assure you that this cab
bape snake is entirely harmless an
that public rumors and superstitioos
are fallacies without semDlance OF
foundation. have the honor to be,

BOLD THEFT
Committed Saturday Morning at the Bethel
House,

desk, opened the drawer. snatched up
the contents and got away. When
Mr. Knight investigated he found that
the fellow had made pretty good haul
He had secured about $1,000 in cash
belonging to the hotel, besides number
of checks deposited with the clerk by
different individuals for safe keeping
Mr.. Knight at once wired the parties
who gave the checks, Of the theft
in order that they might stop the pay
ment of them and there will be no loss
on the checks as they can be duplicated

ing the thief. but it finally leaked out.
The officers have been notified and are
at work on the case.
