MAURY COUNTY
RANKS FIFTH

Maury county stands fifth in wealth
among the counties of Tennessee, the
tax aggregate reaching nearly ten mil
lion dollars. Although GAINESVILLE, a
larger town than Columbia is located
in Montgomery county, the tax ag-
gregate of Maury exceeds that of
Montgomery over three million dollars,
or nearly fifty per cent. The tax ag-
gregate in the ninth district of Maury
including the corporation of Column
bia is in excess of three million dol
lars and equals the tax aggregate of
the GAINESVILLE district of Montgomery.

SITE FOR PUB
Lie BUILDING
ergJEcT is RECEIVING SOME CON-
SHERATON AND SEVERAL
SITES SUGGESTED.

Now that the President has signed
tbe Public Building bill, and the post
office building for Columbia, is
certainty, the question of
site is arousing consider
able interest. An assistant SUI
nervisiLg architect will arrive from
Washington the latter part of August
to receive sealed bids for the site and
will accept the lowest priced suitable
site offered, for it is the policy of the
Government to expend as great part
of the appropriation as possible in the
building, after taking the location and
desirability of the sites into considera-
tion and to erect the best building
nossible for the money. Where a site
is offered free it is nearly always ac-
cepted, if it is located reasonably well.
The Government requires a site
15Ox15O feet so that the building will
stand out free from nearby buildings
and can be approached from every
side. Several SECS have been sug-
gested one on the fowler property
on North Main street, the John Latta
property on Sixth street, the Hendley
corner and a lot at the corner of the
Athenauem property on West Seventh
street Property owners on West
Seventh, it is said, will raise money
for the lot in the Athenaeum property
and offer the lot free to the Govern
ment, and it is probable that property
owners near some of the other sites
suggested would willingly donate a
part of the purchase price on these
lots on account of the desirability of
Government building anc the in
creased value it would give adjoining
property.

Weston's Walking Demonstration.

The moral effects of outdoor exer-

Edward Payson Weston, the ss-year-
old Philadelphia to New York walker.
The sinewy little man has muscles
that will not fail him, a heart that
pumps serenely under any strain and
digestive organs that can stand the
pounding of 100000 steps, one after
another. But many a man of West
on's strength and half bis years
would have given up when struggling
through the stretch of knee-deep
sand, his toes raw with blisters and
the sun beating mercilessly on his
head. The power of the nervous
system that transforms potential
energy into actual work won its tri-
umph then. There is no doubt that
ease, self-indulgence and dissipation.
work their havoc on the nerves soon
er, even, and more irreparably than
ON the joints or muscles.
There is no doubt that integrity
OF the nervous system is the glory of
maturity and the grandeur of age.
and that it is preserved and even in
creased by sane and regular labor
ious recreation in the open air. 1t
is really about all that counts fer
success in any kind of effort, too.
For a man may be crippled by rheu-
matism, burdened with obesity or
emaciated from dyspepsia, but If he

In, as Weston has, he will be able to
apply to other objects the logged
yet cheerful tenacity of purpose that
drove the little athlete across the
soft roads of New Jersey. And when
there is such plain proof of the efic-
acy OF pedestrionism combined with
aostemiousness in preserving the mus
cles as well, is about the best
possible example of all around excel
lence to be found in the feat of Wes-
ton.

WHAT THE YELLoWs DO.
Incite Boys to Take to the Woods and
to Duqouts.

A short time since, while hunting
in the primeval forests of northern
Michigan, came across the strangest
dugout / had ever seen, writes a cor
respondent. A large tree had been
blown over, falling uphill on very
steep incline, the roots and earth
forming a natural "dugout." AS l
surveyed the wild place surrounding it
noticed well-defined trail leading
to it. Thinking it might be a den Of
some struggling bear, held my gun
in position to shoot in case it should
prove to be such. AS neared the
place quietly On tiptoe to my surprise
noticed about four inches Of stove
pipe protruding through the roots and
earth of the "den.''
Approaching it, cried out: Who
is in here?" All was silent as the
grave. | called three times No
answer came. / then noticed a mar
row opening at the base. Slowly
crawied in on my hands and knees. 1t
was indeed strange room within
about ten feet wide each way and in
the center six feet high. There stood
rusty old parlor stove. a rude log
table and blocks of wood for chairs.
On the table and all about the room
were strewn cards and yellow litera-
ture, such as "Peck's Bad Boy
Jesse James" and the like Plates
and bottles were also scattered about,
all convincing me it had been the
place of meeting of boys who by read
ing bad literature had so corrupted
their morals that in their hearts they
regarded the vilest of men as the
greatest OF heroes, whom they were
trying to ape as near as possible.
BY inquiry afterward learned that
a n4m5er Of boys from the best fam
lilies of 4 village near by had resor:ed
there long time to play cards and
divide the plumber they had stolen
fron the surrounding country and
that they were finally arrested and
punished for their misconceived acts
of heroism.

THE CARE OF AWNINGS.
DO Not Roll Them Up When 1T Rains
or When the Dew Is
Falling.

1t Is in the line of the small things
the home mistress has on her mind
to know how to care for awnings.
They are costly to begin WITH and
the weather plays such havoc in de-
stroying the brightness of coloring
that it is really worth while to know
the best way to preserve them.
1t is not the thing to do to draw
awnings up when rain is falling. If
in folds they hold much more wa
ter than If stretched out full length,
because they begin to dry almost inn
mediately when the sun comes out.
as it usually does after summer show
ers.
Sun shining on the wet colors is
what fades them. If very wet when
lowered it takes long while to dry
out the heavy cloth. For the same
reason it is not good plan to roll
them up at night unless they keep
out the breeze, but leave them down
that they may not collect heavy dew.
Only when such strong wind
blows that there is danger Of dam
age to them should awnings be rolled
up, says an expert on such matters;
they last better.
