Our Flag.

twenty-ninth anniversary OF our
glorious flag. The precious
associations that cluster around
the American banner make ii
fitting that a day should be set
apart in honor Of its birth. Not
alone in our own nation, by citi-
zens Of the United States, is il
honored but in every civilized
cline on land or on the sea it re-
ceives the homage of all lovers OF
individual liberty and universal
enlightenment.
One hundred and twenty-five
years ago today Congress re-
solved, "That the flag Of the
thirteen United States be thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and
white, and that the Union be
thirteen white stars in the blue
field" The stars were at first
arranged in circle in order to
more fully express the union OF
the states, but as new states were
admitted the stars pocan1 "
numerous for this arrangement
and the present one was adopted
instead.
A new stripe was added fol
each of the first two states ad
mitted to the union, which made
flag of fifteen stripes. But i
was thought that il a new strip
we're added for each new stat
the flag would soon become to
large and therefore in 1878
permanent return was made t
the thirteen stripes, which no.
characterize our flag, and remin
us of the thirteen origins
colonies.
Thus the flag, at once syn
bolizes the beginning and th
present of cur country, also OF
union and our state sovereignlt.
Strength and beauty combine
make of it one of the mo
beautiful flags to be found in Il
world.

The initial meeting of the Commits
sioners of Maury County for the State
Fair was held Saturday morning at
the Bethel House, Mrs. e. w. Car
mack, Chairman, presiding, and almost
all the commissioners being present.
Mrs. Charlotte w. Hughes was ap-
pointed Secretary, and 1t was voted
upon and decided that the same Com
mittee with Mrs Carmack as Chair
man and Mrs. Hughes as Secretary,
accept the preferred appointment of
the Tennessee Fair Association to be-
come Committee for the County Fair,
and act for both, thus furthering the
interest Of the County Fair while
working in the interest of that of the
State Fair. The morning was taken
up with the appointment of the var
ious subcommittee and the mapping
out of their work. The Commission
ers selected are gracious, influential
women, whose interest and pride in
their county, and active manifestation
of both will undoubtedly prove a very
material benefit to the approaching
Fair.

RRADSTREFTS REVIEW OF WEEKS
TRADE SHOWS THERE IS PROSPERITY

branches of trade anticipate a heavy
spring business. Industrial lines are
still very active. Iron and steel mills
are well sold up, and high prices
don't deter consumers from placing
orders as far ahead as the third quar-
ter of 1907. The trade in general will
enter the New Year with the great
est momentum ever attained. Car
shortage still continue to retard ship
ments and deliveries, grain and coal
being particularly affected, especial
ly in the Northwest and on the Paci-
fic Coast.
High rates for money still prevail,
thus causing severe fluctuAtion in
the stock market at New York and
affecting some lines of wholesale
trade. Bank clearings exceed those
of last week by a good m71sin, and
slightly excel those of last year when
business in general was likewise ac-
tive. Collections are good, fair or
slow, all depending on the section
considered, the Southwest and parts
of the West being best situated.
while the northwest is affected by
the car shortage, and the South At
lantic states are feeling the effect of
deficient crop yields and wet wealth
er.

New York, Dec. 21-Bradstreets
review of the weeks trade tomorrow
will say:
Holiday buying. easily the preemi-
nent trade feature, increases as the
season draws to a close. and early
predictions of a record turnover are
being fully realized. Stocks have
been so well disposed of that jobbers
have booked a large volume or reor-
ders. Otherwise however, general
retail trade in seasonable goods has
been subjected to the vagaries of the
weather, being excellent where low
temperatures have prevailed, but
backward in the east, parts of the
south and in the Northwest. where
the weather has been either too mild
or too rainy for the fullest develop
ments. In the larger distributive
Ines, wholesale and jobbing business
Is comparatively quiet in consonance
with the season, drummers being in
for the holidays, while inventorying
Is under way. Nevertheless, some
Zines. cottons and dry goods, for in
stance have booked goodly orders for
spring delivery and mills in these
lines are well sold ahead. Most
