DOLLARS
IN LIVE STOCK
LEAVE MAURY EACH YEAR, WHILE
WHILE MULES BRING IN AN
OTHER MILLION.

An as indication Of the volume of
business transacted by the live stock
traders of Maury county we have the
business transacted in hogs by Mr..
NJ. E. Allen since the 7th Of Septem-
ber or a little over a months time.
Mr. Allen has handled during the time
1000 head of hogs at an average price
of $1,000, or a total of $4,000 for
this one item alone. In addition Mr..
Allen has handled many head of sheep
and cattle, which would bring his total
for the five weeks safely up to $780,
600.
When it is realized that one trader
has transacted this much business in
five weeks and that there are many
other traders in the county. it can be
easily understood that the live stock
business of the county in one year
will easily foot up round million,
and this does not include the mule and
horse business, which has been esti-
mated to make another million coming
into the county in one year.

SHARP SHEARS
FOR HOUSEWIVES
LIBERAL PREMIUM OFFER FOR
SUBSCRIBERS OF THE
HERALD.

Every housewife needs a good,
sharp pair Of shears about the house
and knows how difHcult it is to get
good shears which can be depended
on to keep at the right tension and in
good shape. Looks like a pair Of
shears or scissors is used scarcely at
all before they are duh and refuse to
cut well.
The Herald has recently secured a
number of pairs of the Hamilton
Tension Spring Shears, a recent pat
ent, which evidently solve the question
of sharp shears. They are sold under
FIVE year guarantee by the makers,
and would retail at from rs cents to
one dollar anywhere. We thought
they were so good that we bought
them for our subscribers and are of
fering them in the way of premiums,
both ito old and new subscribers of
Weekly The Herald. Old subscribers
to the Weekly Herald, who pay up all
Arrears and one year in advance can
get the shears for twenty-five cents
additional, which is considerable I'M
der the wholesale price. New sub
scribers, paying $1.25 can get the
Weekly Herald for one year and a
pair of the shears
Subscribers to The Daily Herald,
who get the paper by carrier, can get
the paper for one year and pair of
the shears for $4.25. Subscribers to
The Daily Herald. who get the paper
by mail, can pay $2.75 for one years
and pair of the shears
This is a most attractive offer. We
lose money on every pair of shears
we send out this way, but it will help
to build up our already large subscrip-
ton list and will furnish an induce
ment to subscribers to pay up and to
advance their subscription dates.

farm contains IS acres SO the total of
the sale was $1O05O. This is one of
the most fertile farms in the county.
The soil is the rich, black loan, found
in all the lands of the Ashwood section
and much Of the land is new ground,
having been cleared only within the
past few years 1t lies next to the
Ridley farm and for this
reason Mr. Ridley was especially
anxious to secure it and add 1t to his

The sale of this land was made by

other Games.

With the suspension Of the four
game rule by the Interscholastic Ath-
letic Association there is sure to be
an increased interest in the foot BAN
engagements between. the schools this
season, and a largely increased sched-
ule.
A meeting Of the executive commit.
tee Of the Interscholastic Athletic as
ISOLATION was held in Nashville Mon.
day morning. In view of the strong
opposition to the four-game rule ON
the part of number of schools, the
committee decided to suspend the
operation of the rule until the next
annual meeting of the association.
This will make it possible for any
school within the association to ar.
range as many games as it may de.
sire. The rule which is SUSPENDED by
the action Of the executive committee
forbade any schol in the association
to play more than four games each
season. There seems to have been
pretty general complaint among the
schools that this rule was destroying
interest in the game.
The report of the action of the COM
mittee was greeted with approval at
the Columbia Military Academy by the
carets and the faculty as well. Under
the four-game rule there was not
much incentive toward keeping the
team in training and there could have
been only two games played here and
two away from home Plans are ale
ready under way to increase the sched-
ule so as to play at least four games
at home and probably more, and cor
was taken up at once
with several schools.
It is hoped to have the Massey
Training School team of Pulaski here
Saturday and definite information will
be received this evening. In case
he Massey team can not come to
Columbia the cadets will probably
90 to Pulaski Saturday.
The next game SO far arranged is
With Branham & Hughes. which win
AXE place on the Academy field Sat
lrday. October 31st. The circus will
'e here the same day, but the game
will not be started until o'clock, after
