INFORMAL
DISCUSSION
MAURY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
HOLDS NO REGULAR MEET
ING.

Owing to the great interest in the
religious exercises at the Tabernacle,
there was no regular meeting of the
Maury County Historical Society Tues
day night. A few members and visitors
met at the County Court room and had
an informal discussion of incidents
connected with the career OF Gen.
Patrick R. Cleburne and his unique
battle flag. Capt. Robert D. Smith
read a few extracts from his Life of
Gen. Cleburne," explaining the facts
in the incidents discussed. Col. Henry
G. Evans exhibited the original of
fetal order issued by Gen. Cleburne to
the Forty-eighth Tennessee Infantry
on the transfer of the regiment to an
other command. AS this regiment was
composed largely of soldiers from this
neighborhood, the Herald publishes
for the first time a literal copy of the
historic document:

'T:-By direction of Genl. Johnston,
the 48th Tennessee Rgt. is relieved
from duty with this Division and will
report to Brig. Genl. Quarles for in
corporation with Colonel VOORHEES,
4Sth Tenn.
In severing his connection with the
small but noble remnant of this Reg
iment, justice as well as feeling
prompts General Cleburne to ex-
press his admiration of he gallant and
soldierly conduct its members have
ever manifested. While under his
command, Richmond, KY, Perryville,
Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Ring
gold Gap have been inscribed upon
its colors, and the names of the vic
tories of the present trying campaign
moy justly be placed there.

"As battalion of Sharp Shooters,
its courage, skill and endurance have
been tested and proven in innumer-
able bloody skirmishes. The handful
to which it is reduced attests how con-
spicuous part it must have borne in
building up the glorious reputation of
the Brigade and Division which it is
about to be separated from.
General Cleburne bids you a SOL
dter's farewell, and trusts that he may
deserve and retain, through life the
good will and kind feeling which he
bears to each surviving member of the
4Sth Tennessee.

Jeffersonian AIpacas.

We tremble for the future of JEFF
fersonian Democracy in Missouri For
years black alpaca coat, long sleeved,
ancient, hotter than the platform, was
the badge of a Missouri Jeffersonian.
So many delegates to the State Dem

alpaca coats. Now, il the Kansas City
Star sees right, the Jeffersonians wear
white alpaca coats and dare to be
cool. Thus does luxury usurp the
place of the old Jeffersonains simple

TO EVERY HOLDER
OF ALIFE POLICY.
PRESIDENT OF THE MUTUAL AD-
DRESSES A LETTER WHICH
ARoUSES A PROTEST.


NEW YORK, July 1O-Not one of
the executive officers of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company responsible
for the conditions which prevailed in
that organization prior to the pear
1906 remains in the service of the COM
pany; all practices and methods of
doubtful propriety have been prohib-
tied; the responsibility of officers has
been definitely fixed; measures to in
sure efficiency in service and economy
in administration have been adopted
and many other reforms have been eff
fected, according to letter to the pol
icy-holders which was made public
today by President Charles A. Pea
body, of the company.
Mr.. Peabody's letter, which will be
mailed to every holder of a policy in
the Mutual, also declares that other
reforms are in progress and in con-
temptation and that he believes that
the results of the future will be en-
tirely satisfactory to the policy-hold-
ers He calls attention to a reduction
in the salaries of officers and en-
ployes and in the expenses of the home
Office, effecting saving of $4,000
per year. The economies effected in
agency management, medical examina-
tions and revision work, advertising,
printing and stationery, he says, ag
gregate another saving of $780, 900 per
year, making total saving of over
$4,000 for each working day.
The letter says that since Jan. 1 of
this year the company's funds depos-
tied in banks and loans on collateral
have been reduced to over $500, 900
by investment, and that the total gain
in net income from all investments
during the past six months has been
81 100000.
Mr.. Peabody says that the integrity
and value of the company's assets have
been recently certified by an investi-
cation and examination made by Eng
lish and American public accountants
whose certifying statements of the
assets Dec. 81, 1905, is $467, 900 in ex-
cess of the value shown on the COM
pany's books.
After reading the statements made !
public by President Peabody tonight, |

Committee of the Mutual and New
York Life Insurance Companies, ad- !

The BISHOP
OF COTTONTOWN
JOHN TRoTWooD MooRE's LAT
EST VENTURE IN THE FIELD
OF FICTION.

All Alabamaians feel great PRIDE in
the author of the above named work,
which has just made its appearance.
He is a citizen of Columbia, Tennes-
see, but a native of Alabama, son of
the beloved Judge John Moore, of
Marion, and who after life of service
to the State, died short while ago.
Mr. Moores "a Summer Hymnal' and
Songs and Stories of Tennessee"
struck a popular chord in the Ameri-
can heart and enjoy wide and deserved
popularity. The Bishop of Cotton
town" bids fair to eclipse all former
efforts in popular favor
The beautiful story of Alice West
more and Captain Tom Travis and the
passionate desire of the latter's Cous-
in Richard to win Alice for himself
are the dominating impulses of the
story The scenes are laid in a lit
tie town in Tennessee. Richard Travis,
of 1.-THE CATS" a strong and unscru-
pulous man, but gifted with many at
tractive qualities, plays bold part in
the plot His designs, however, are
checked by his old overseer-who is
called the Bishop" by all the Cotton
towners on account of his benevolent
interest in their lives-and in the
thrilling climax of the story, Travis
heroically redeems many of his I'M
punishable crimes.
Love and pathos and real humor
run through the book in delightful
measure. The old Bishop" will en-
dear himself to every reader by his
gentleness, his strength and his un-
cynical knowledge of this world which
he finds so good to live in The old
mans spirit when he entered his blind
horse ben Butler" in the great race
against the fastest horses of the State
is we'll shown by the following story
of his early days in store. Speaking
of his first employer, the Bishop"
said: I
"You orter heard him swear, Bud
it was part of his religion. An wher-
ever he is today in the other world,
he is at it yet, for in that other life,
Bud, we're just ourselves on a bigger
scale than we are in this. He used
to cuss the clerks around the store
JUS from habit and when I went to
work for him he said:
"'Young man, maybe I'll cuss you
out some mornin' but don't pay no ten
ton to tits just a habit I've got
into an all the boys understand it.
"'Glad you told me, says I, loolIin'
him square in the eye-'one confidence
deserves another I've got a nasty
habit of my own but I hope you won't
pay no 'tention to it, for it's a habit,
an I can't help it. don't mean moth.
in by it, and the boys all understand
it, but when d man cusses me I allus
knock him down-do it befo' think
said-'jes' a habit I've got"
Incidentally the story shows some

tied citizens throughout the country
are organizing to abolish,
