The Branham & Hughes foot ball team
has been practicing for two weeks.
The boys are taking great interest In
foot ball this year and show spirit
to win. Eight of the last years team

bows that will push them. The pros
pects are good for a successful year IN
athletics. They have nine or ten foot
ball games scheduled for the season.
the Thanksgiving game being scheu-
uled with Mckenzie. The scrub team
also promise TO be a good one. Quar-
terback Ramsey, of the first team, Is
at his old position, and is doing GOOD
work. Wells, at center, is also In
good form. Each will certainly make
the team. Crawford, who Is new
man. is also a surety for left half, he
will probably be one Of the stars OF
the team.

There was a terrific defamation this
morning about 1910 o'clock, which
shook buildings through the city and
for miles around, caused by the blow

zine four or FIVE miles northwest OF
Nashville. Many at first believed It
was an earthquake.
An investigation proved 1t to be a
magazine belonging to the Southern
Mill & Mining Company on the Curtis
Place, on the Whites Creek turnpike.
The bilding, 12x12, of steel and brick,
was entirely destroyed and a nearby
hin nearly blown away. How 1t oc-
CURED is unknown.
The greatest CONSERVATION was

glasses were shaken from the windows,

lbeen made to blow out some OF the
walls. The guards on duty thought II
