Although the main Homecoming ex

This is the one hundredth year Of

/ the one hundredth anniversary of the
county's beautiful capital, Columbia,
and the homecoming idea is therefore
peculiarly apt and timely.
Among the features of the Maury
county celebration, which will be held
during the county fair, will be an his
torical exhibit. which will be replete
with documents, and other objects of
wide interest. Mr.. McGaw stated
that one of these would be the original
home of General Winn. a revolution |

near Hampshire. Also land grants |
from the government to General VIM
and General Nathaniel Greene. of
South Carolina, another revolutionary /
war hero, will also be exhibited. These
patriots held grants to several thou
sand acres of land in Middle Tennes-
see, given them by the government as
a reward for their services.
Another feature will be an old army
