in the town exclusively to automobiles
so as not to scare the large number
Of country horses in town for the fair.
At the terminus of that street we
have erected a nice platform and made
side entrance for automobiles. We
have gone to considerable expense to
do this, and visiting autoists will be
welcomed and will not run any risk
of offending anybody. In fact,we are
very used to automobiles down our
way. do not know more thought
full lot of autoists than those who run
their machines in Maury county I
have often seen them stop their ma
chimes, get out and hold refractory
horse until the driver was safely by.
I'VE gladly welcome all visiting au-
toists to our fair, and wehave made
ample arrangements for their enter
tainment. We are going to have the
biggest fair in the history of Maury
county, and l am exceedingly anxious
to see a large crowd from Nashville
there next Thursday.
Mr. Shannon is ably assisting me
and the Nashville Board of Trade,
with its usual generosity, is ably
seconding him. Saturday and Satur-
day night the Nashville Greys will be
with us, arriving Friday night at 8
p. M Our young people are preparing
to give them a big reception and a
ball on Friday .night.-Nashville

Etial meaning is that you and your
brother officers have duties beyond
the duties of others; that you have
obligations that do not rest on all
members of this community; that OF
you are required measure of self
control, a readiness for self-sacrifice,
constituencies in honor, which 1t
might be neither reasonble to ex-

your fellow citizens"
A passable definition as applied to

tary rank can never be all, for the
two terms are no more indissolubly
welded than those of gentleman
and scholar
Once upon time only a gentleman
possessed a coat-of-arms. They can
now be bought freely when wealth
may be anything but the mark of the
gentleman. Some other badge than
that of birth, money, education, idle

these democratic days. Conduct is
the only safe rule and standard. The

they will not pass for what they are
not. President Roosevelt addresses

he wants votes. After all, what more

feet quality. To ask:

is to raise class distinction at once.
President Elliot gave fine descrip-

that he should be gentle of speech,
