A GREAT
HOME COMING
MAuRV FOUNTAINS NOW LIVING
IN OTHER STATES WILL VISIT
IN THOUSANDS At THE
FAIR.
Manager Meca~ Is Meeting With
Encouragement IN His Prepare
tions For The Big Fall
Meeting.

Mr.. J. P. McGaw. General Manager
of the Middle Tennessee Fair Associa-
ton, Is receiving very encouraging re-
ports from former Maury countians
now residing in other counties and
States. Judging from the reports re-
ceived there win be great Home
Coming OF the old residents, and IL
is very important that those having
friends and relatives formerly living
here, but now residing in other states.
turn their names in to Mr.. McGaw,
so that direct communication can be
established with them.
The management of the Fair Assoc
citation are very DESTROYS to make this
the greatest affair in the history Of
the county, and the homecoming fea-
ture of it will be the greatest source
of pleasure to all those old timers as
we'll as to those at home. who have
not seen relatives for ten or twenty
years. Mr.. McGaw has already re-
ceived several lists of those who have
expressed their intentions of coming
to the Fair, and among the lists are
names of men who have not been back
since they left some twenty years
ago.
Work will commence soon on the cat
aliogue, which, when completed, will be
mailed broadcast all over the coun-
try The Association is sparing no
means and trouble to make one OF
the grandest displays of all farming
and mining products of the county that
has ever been gathered together The
display of fine stock and cattle, will,
as usual. be the best of any fair in
the South, and the racing program
will have some of the very best
PAGERS, trotters and runners in its
lists.
Help out the managers in every
way you can, and send in all the
names you can think of, and Wen
bring at least ten thousand people
from other States and counties to our
city during this gala week. The man
ayers are busily at work getting rates
on all railroads with return limit of
80 days. Every man, woman and child
in the county can do something to
make this Centennial Fair great sue
cess and the Middle Tennessee Fair
Association will appreciate every lit
tie effort on their part to do SO.
The Association is in communities
ton with Professor Kopp, and 1t is
probable that this splendid band will
appear here again this fall. In case
the Association does not employ Prof
Kopp again they will have even a
better band to furnish music for this
is one feature in which they will not
economic but will have the best.
Mr.. Kennedy and his wild west
show want to return this fall, and the
Association have the matter under
consideration. They are looking for
another feature equally as good, but
differing in character, but realize that
the Kennedy Show is hard to beat,
and that it forms an excellent substi-
tute where the weather prevents the
regular program.

Tramp Balls.

Calico parties, which flourished a
few years back, are being superseded
by tramp balls. If you have a capa-
cious barn for your ball so much the
better; If not, clear your rooms of all
their pretty trappings, or, If you have
rugs, take them up, leaving the floors
bare.
Festoon the walls with hay and
bring in boxes, nail kegs and rough
benches for seats. Tell all your guests
to come as hoboes, organ grinders and
mendicants of various kinds. Serve
Dutch lunch and offer prize for the
most effective costume. The more old
fashioned country reels and dances
that are introduced into the pro-
gramme the better.

An Old-Eashioned Party.

At this most unique affair, the host
ess requested her guests to come in
as old-fashioned garments as they pos
sessed or could borrow, and such an
array of polonaises, basques, full skirts
and bonnets as assembled in the draw
ing room, which was full Of old-fash-
toned furniture, samplers, candle
sticks, bedspread draperies, etc. The
men were in coats and ruffled shirts
of ancient vintage, and funny old
stovepipe hats.
Dominoes, chess, whist and check
ers were the games, and the ladies
had a knitting contest. Cup custards,
unfrosted sponge cake. strawberry pre-
serves, with tea, were served.
Prizes were awarded for the quaint
est gowns and the histories Of many
of the old garments and pieces of far
| niture were related.
A candle was lit and handed each
guest when they went up to don their
outer garments, preparatory to going
home, and the host lit an old Paul
Revere" lantern standing on the porch
to light the way to the gate.
Snuff boxes were passed and neigh

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hals

Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.


Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which Is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim Of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return vita

Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful homo at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
"My trouble began about six years
ago and / did not rest as l should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After time became SO
l had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in TIE back part
and top Of my head. Ny eyes were
easily tired and at times l saw black
spots before them. consulted sew

benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.

Mother Goose Is One and "Poverty

Send out invitations decorated with
Mother Goose characters. When the
guests arrive give them bit Of pa

When the hostess calls these titles
one by one, the holder must repeat the
rhyme at once, or in the space OF two
minutes. Failing to do so entails the
paying Of forfeit.
To the one who responds the first
award a goose quill pen, and to the
one who fails entirely give child's
copy Of Mother Goose.

Tor refreshment. Ornament the table
with huge pie, on which "a toy birds

NEED OF STANDARD WEIGHTS.
Wheat Sold by 20 Different Measures
in Great Britain.

The advocates of the metric System
want no better justification than
tables just prepared for the year book
OF the British Auctioneers' institute.
1t is learned from this that the price
of wheat is made and the cereal is
sold in 20 different ways in England,
Scotland and Wales.
1t is measured variously by the
quarter, comb, load, boil, bushel, bar
rel, hundredweight, GENITAL, windle
and hobbet. Further confusion Is
aused by varying weights of a busheI
different parts of the country.
A boil is three bushels in some
places and four and six in others.
There are similar absurd variations
in other weights and measures.
For instance, stone of meat is
eight pounds, stone of iron IA
pounds, stone of cheese 16 pounds
and stone of hemp 80 pounds.
There are seven different areas OF
the standard acre in Great Britain.
The vagaries of liquid measures are
equally bewildering.
