DAYS DEPOSITS SHOW Big GAIN
Exceeded The Withdrawals BY
Over $3s,ooo.-officers
Are Happy.

First Monday was record
breaker with the Farmers & Mer
chants Bank, the deposits for the day
aggregating $6S,149.SS while the ag
gregate checking was only $30,00O.O0
thus showing a net gain Of $4,000
The bank officials say that the depos-
iting was almost entirely of checks on
other banks and that the great bulk
of the business was in deposits of
$500 and $3.50 each
This does not represent the entire
business transacted by the bank; to
those figures are to be added the sums
paid in on loans, collections and trans
actions with other banks, which
amount would make a grand total for
the day of nearly 100000.

Twenty cars of mules were shipped
from the Columbia Stock Yards Tues
day and it is probable that half a
dozen care more will change hands and
go to the cotton plantations this
week. This is a slight falling
OF in numbers from last month, when
on the first Monday and the two days
following twenty-nine cars were
shipped. Prices, however, were
slightly higher this month than last.
In fact, mule men say Mondays prices
were the highest of which they have
any recollection. 1t is probable that
$155 a head would be fair average
for the days sales and at this price
the $40 which changed hands Monday
would come to about $S1 ,OOO An adj
ditional sale of half dozen cars Tues
day and Wednesday would increase this
amount about $4,000 and bring the
sales very close to the sales last
month. Several pairs of mules were
sold on the streets during the day
around $500, and one sale at $3.50 for
pair was reported.

IS THE GROUND
HOG A FRAUD?
OBSERVING CITIZEN CLAIMS THAT
BAT is A BETTER WEATHER
PROPHET.

Which is the better prophet, the
ancient ground hog or the bat? Which
can look further into the future and
with better perception the more cor
rectly forecast the weather that is to
come? Is the ground hog, which we
have reverred for many years as the
king of all weather prognosticators,
after all, only a shallow fraud and a
hypocrite of first water? These very
interesting queries were presented
to a representative of The Herald this
morning by the observations of a
prominent and observing citizen. Ac-
cording to this gentleman there will
be no more winter this year, despite
the emphatic declaration of the ground
hog to the contrary In proof Of this
he said:
The first time I ever saw bat In
February, that is, one of the common
leather wings, was in February, 1905.
You will recall that the winter OF
1904-1905 was a very severe one,
there being continuous cold during
December, January and most of Feb
ruary. The 22nd of that month was
bright and warm and in the evening
saw leather wing He proved
to be harbinger of spring and there
was no more cold weather. I saw
bat the other day. Now which is en-
titled to the most faith and credit, the
bat or the ground hog?"

LIFE COMPANIONS

MR.. AND MRS. THOMAS SOWELL
DIE WITHIN SHORT TIME OF
EACH OTHER.

The little village of Neapolis was
doubly bereaved Tuesday by the
death of two of the leading citizens,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Sowell, husband
and wife, who have travelled life's
pathway for many years together and
passed over the river almost side by
side, the wife answering the last sum-
mons at 4:40 o'clock Tuesday and
the husband one hour and FIVE min
utes later. The husband became Ill
about ten days since with pneu-
monia, and week later the wife was
stricken by the same disease. The
funeral was at the Neapolis Meth
odist church Wednesday at II a. m.
and the two were placed to rest
side by side in the Neapolis cemetery.
Husband and wife were held in high
esteem by all who knew them. They
we're good citizens, kindly neighbors
and met all the requirements Of life
fully. Their death is a sad blow to
the community In which they made
their home.

the fact that he has always paid the

OF
MAURY COUNTY
ARE MUCH DIVIDED OVER CUES
TON OF CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR.
G. n. TILLMAN OR R. A. HAGGARD
Friends Of Both VIII Try to Secure
Instructions of County
Convention.

Republicans Of Maury county will
not hold their convention to elect del.
egates to the Republican State Con-
vention until after the meeting OF the
State Committee on Feb. Is. 1t has
been customary for the State Commit
tee In the past to fix the dates for the
county meetings, and it is probable
that this policy will be pursued this
year. The Congressional Committee
has not yet been called and until it
is no action will be taken here to
elect delegates TO the congressional
convention. Chairman Hopkins, of
the County Committee, made it plain
Wednesday that he would not call his
committee together until after the
State and Congressional Committees
had acted
That the convention in this county
is going to be an interesting and not
altogether harmonious one, grows evi.
dent every day. Taft will be unani-
mously endorsed, but upon no other
question are the party leaders agreed
The Evans faction, led by Postmaster
Jackson, will undoubtedly attempt to
secure an endorsement of Nathan W.
Hale, for National Committeeman, but
wherever the Brownlowites have con-
trolled they have opposed any endorse
ment Of Hale, who is particularly OBJ
pectionable to them.
But the biggest row in this county
will probably be over the instructions
for Governor. Chairman Hopkins is
an avowed supporter of G.. N. Tillman,
Of Nashville, and will try to secure
for him. On the other
hand Postmaster Jackson is just as
Wayne county. The latter has stated
hat he was not candidate, but 1t is
believed that he would accept If ten
Tered the nomination and an effort
will be made to give him the endorse
nent of all the counties of his Con-
yressional District
There will also be fight over the
county organization. 1t is now in the
lands of the Brownlow faction, but
he Evans leaders are determined to
make clean sweep this year and will
all their energies in a de-
emined effort to control the machin-
ry for the next two years. There are
lso likely to be some rows over the
Endorsement Of candidates for dele
ates.

year were kept busy all day issuing
receipts. But while the number who
paid their taxes was unusually large
the amount collected was small. There

nearly all of them paying amounts
from a few cents to about IS. More
than 800 receipts were issued, but
only little more than $4,000 was col

At times during the day 1t was diff

extended into the hall. The heaviest

first Monday in March, when 500
receipts were issued. 1t is expected
that this number will be Issued
on the first Monday Of next March,

will have to be collected to equal the
record for last February.
