Now on Investigation find that the Fitz-
gerald post-of1ice is doing more business than it
did year ago-another sign that Fitzgerald is
not on the panic list. And the increased business
is in general commercial lines, the money orderde
partment is issuing scarce any orders for whiskey
but on the other hand is paying out steadily in
creasing amount of money to Fitzgerald holders.
In other words the money previously spent for
whiskey is staying at home and being used for pay

MULE BUSINESS
OPENS WITH RUSH
HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS BROUGHT
TO CITY AND THE DE-
MAND ACTIVE.
STREETS AND SQUARE CROWDED
Class of Stock Good And Prices Range
Around Pretty Stiff
Figures.

From the crowd on the streets and
the mules on hand Monday was an old
time First Monday. The public
square and every street leading from
the square for a block OF more were
filed with mules and men. The aged
mules were gathered on the square
and on West SevenIn and South
Main streets to a large extent. On
North Main street, the east side of
the square and on East Seventh street
the mule colts were to be found.
The class of mules on hand as a
rule was high and prices were stiff,
though the sales for the day were not
as large as during some of the big
days last fall. The buyers for ]. W.
Howard & Co., we're on the streets
and picked up a number of high grade
mules. Messrs. Flies, of Birmingham,
Abraham Of Montgomery, Orr of North
Carolina and other buyers were here
from distance and picked up quite
a number
The colts were in demand almost
from the farmers and stock
raisers OF the county and some twelve
or fifteen buyers were busy, some of
them buying twenty to thirty of the
infant mules. Most of the buyers
bought mare mules exclusively and
there was probably $40 advantage in
the price of the mare mules over the
horse mules. One of the best colts
seen here in some years was held at
s125.00, and an offer Of $11O was re-
fused. Another sale at $112.5O was
reported, though the bulk Of the sales
we're from $40 to $50.

APPLICANTS FOR
COUNTY SUPT.
JUDGE GORDON NAMES COMMIT.
TEE TO HOLD NECESSARY
EXAMINATION.
ELECTION At THE JANUARY TERM
Prof. Graham Holds Life Certificate
and Not Expected that He will
Have Opposition.

For the purpose of examining ap-
plicants for election as County Super
intendent of Public Instruction, Judge
w. o. Gordon has appointed a COM
mite composed of Prof. James A. Bos-
tick, of Mt. Pleasant, Prof. Americus
Allen, of Williamsport. and George
Taylor Hughes, Jr., Of Columbia. This
committee will between this and the
first of October hold an examination
in Columbia for all persons who de-
sire to become candidates before the
County Court for Superintendent of
Public Instruction for the ensuing
term. After the examinations are
completed the papers will be sealed
and transmitted to the State Board
of Education at Nashville where they
will be graded and certificates of ell
igibility will be issued. In order to
be eligible for certificate the appli-
cant must make an average grade of
seventy.
Prof. John P. Graham. who is now
serving his first term as Superintend
ent, will not be required to stand the
examination. his grade when pre-
viously examined being so high that
he was granted life certificate This
certificate will hold good as long as
he continues to be actively engaged
in educational work. 1t is hardly
probable that he will have any oppo- \
sition for reelection. He has been
painstaking, industrious and devoted
to the best interests of the schools
and will in all, probability. be again
elected. In the event that he should
have no opposition the committed
above named will have nothing to do.
The election will take place at the
January term of the County Court |
and the term will be for two years.
At that time the terms of every Coun- |
ty Superintendent in the State will |
expire and these examinations for ap-
plicants for that Office will be held |
this month all over Tennessee. These
examinations are held under the pro-
visions of the act of 1895. Prior to
that time County Superintendents
were not required to hold certificates
but since the enactment of that law
there has been a most decided i'm
in the class of educators
who hold this office.

BURGLARS ARE
OPERATING HERE
fuckers GROCERY BROKEN IN
To.-TRuNK STOLEN AT
THE DEPOT.

Burglars entered the store of T. J.
Tucker & Co. on Cemetery avenue at
some time Friday night and secured
about ninety cents in pennies and
some tobacco. Entrance was gained
through the window and from the size
of the opening it is thought small
boys were the guilty parties. The
police have been at work on the case,
but have no clue to the identity of the
robbers.
Unknown parties stole a drum
mer's sample trunk from the depot
Friday night and carried it to John
Fraser's corn field south of town,
where it was broken open.
The trunk was very heavy one
and was left on the trucks under the
shed as is frequently the custom. The
night Waterman was on hand, but the
thieves outwitted him and the trunk
was not missed until the owner called
for it Friday morning. In the mean
time Mr.. Fraser sent little negro
boy into the field to gather roasting
ears, and he discovered the missing
property. The trunk contained sam
pies of soap and perfumes and other
druggists sundries, but so far as could
be learned nothing had been taken.
