ANNUAL REPORT
COUNTY TRUSTEE
RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS
FOR YEAR AMOUNT TO
OVER 100000.
CONDITION OF ORDINARY FUND
Appears That County is Spending Con-
siderabIy More Than Its Rev
enues Justify.

One of the most complete and at
tractively prepared reports ever is
sued by trustee in Tennessee is the
annual statement Of Elem Thomas,
Trustee of Maury County, for the year
ending Sept. /, last. The work of
preparing this report devolved largely
upon w. H. Puryear, the efficient Dep.
uty Trustee, and the manner in which
he performed the duty is testimonial
to his efficiency and painstaking care.
During the year the Trustee re-
ceived andAhandled sum aggregating
$220,209,2S and his books balance to
the cent. The balance on hand a
year ago was s36.4O0.54 and the re-
ceipts during the year from all sources
were $1S4,000. His balance on Sept
l, was $S4,45S.26, OF about $4,000 less
than on the same date of the previous
year. A very large proportion of this
balance or $20,319 belongs to the
school fund, the special highway fund
having $4,572.OO the next largest bal.
ance OF any OF the funds.
The balance to the credit of the
county fund proper is pitifully small
being only $15S.42. The taxes for
the current year are not yet due and
no considerable portion of them will
be paid before January /, so it is ap.
parent that the county will be forced
to borrow considerable sum of mon.
ey in order to meet its current obi.
cations for the ensuing four months.
The balance to the credit of this fund
a year ago was $2,336.54, or about
$4,000 more than it was on Sept. l, |
which accounts for the difference be.
tween the aggregate balances on Sept. |
/, of last year and the same date Of
this year.
1t appears that the total revenues OF
the county fund proper were approx.
lmately $4,000 while the warrants is.
sued on that fund aggregated $780,.
$3.50, the trustees commissions, re.
leases and delinquents aggregating the
balance charged to this account. How.
aver the actual revenue of the county
'und proper was much less than the
amount stated. In the receipts are
included practically the entire amount
If the sinking fund receipts and in
edition $500 of borrowed money for
which the trustee has executed his of.
lcial note. These two sums aggregate
bout $4,000. hence from this report
appears that the county is spending
ut of its ordinary funds some $4,000
r more than its ordinary receipts
mount to.

MISS CARPENTER
AT THE INSTITUTE

Miss Carpenters extensive travels
and studies abroad will enable her to
make the Travel Glass valuable ac-
QUESTION to the curriculum Of the In
stitute for the coming school year.
In these days, when remote places
are brought near by the conyeniences
of modern travel there is greater
need for a a knowledge of distant
places and people. Miss Carpenter is
so well and favorably known as
teacher that it is needless to say that
the Travel Glass will be educative in
the highest and truest sense of the
word
The life of the nations visited, their
history. literature and art will be pre-
scented in way that cannot fail to
attract and instruct.
In addition to this Glass for the
students of the Institute, there will be
one organized especially for the la
dies OF the city who wish to secure |
the advantages it offers, either as a
means of culture or with the practical
view of future travel.
Miss Carpenter will also conduct a !
Story Hour for the pupils of the In
Department, where
course similar to that of the Travel
Glass will be pursued, but suitably
adapted to young minds. The truths
IF History and Geography will be j
with picture studies, char.
lcter sketches, legends, myths, ETC.,
hus uniting instruction and entertain,
nent and making the Story Hour a
delightful feature Of the school work

Beautiful and becomingly gowneC
women, the finest qualities of horse
flesh to befound anywhere in the
world, the lights and the glamor OF &
brilliantly lighted arena, an enthus
iastic and animated crowd in the
grand stand these contributed tc
make the scene at the opening of the
Maury county horse show last night
one of dazzling brilliance. The scene
was as inspiring as it was beautiful.
The arena, brilliantly lighted and well
filled with the very best specimens
of horses upon the globe, driven by
experts, presented picture that could
not fail to attract and allure.
In every respect the opening of the
great social event of the county was
a complete success. The attendance
was large, the grand stand and boxes
being well filled. enthusiasm was at a
high ebb, the entries in the various
contests were large and the rivalry
keen, the weather was ideal; these
and the usual glamor that encircles a
night display-the music and the
spielers, the deep-voiced announce
ments of the winners, the cheers that
greeted the awarding of the prizes
all combined to make the night one
of rare delight.
1t was in the display of beauty and
chivalry in the boxes however, that
attracted the greatest attention. The
Maury countian loves beautiful
horse, but his admiration for the
equestrian tribe can never equal that
for the beautiful women for which the
county is so justly famed.
Attractive gowns, lovely millinery
combined with the grace and natural
beauty and charm of the ladies made
the social feature of the evening an
attraction of most impressive beauty.
Second only in beauty and attractive
ness was the magnificent display of
horses that contended for the prizes.
The entries were more numerous than
ever before and the drivers displayed
an ability and an ease in handling the
horses that rendered the work of the
judges in awarding the prizes one OF
unusual difficulty and for this reason
the show was longer drawn out than
is usually the case.
There was only one feature of the
attraction that did not measure up to
the standard of former years and that
was the music. Without music and
plenty of it of high order there is
lacking the enthusiasm and the zest
which is so essential to an event of
his character in order that the atten-
ion and interest of all the people may
)e held. The intervals between the
selections We're too long and the music
acked dthe volume necessary for :,
mch occasions.

More towns die for want of con-
tidence on the part of business men
and lack of public spirit than any
other cause. When a man in search
of a home or a business location goes
into a town and finds everything brim
full of hope and enthusiasm of the
prospects of the place, and all earn
estly at work to build it up, he soon
becomes imbuded with the same spirit,
and as a result he drives down stakes
and goes to work with the same in
terest. When, however he goes to a
town where everyone expresses doubt
and apprehension for the future pros
perity of the place, moping about
and INDUCING in mournful complaints
he naturally feels that it is no place
for him, and he at once shakes the
dust off his feet while he pulls out
with all possible speed for some other
place. Consequently try and make a
live, enterprising town out of the town
in which you live. When you are
working for or saying u good thing
for your town you are accomplishing
all the more for yourself.

In the recent election hundreds OF
voting machines were used in IA diff
ferent states. The machine is some
what on the principle of the adding
machine. No paper ballot is used.
The voter goes into his booth and
simply pushes a key opposite the
name of his party utilization or in
dividual candidate, as he now makes
a cross. He is not so liable to err.
When the votes are all in at S p. m.
the machine-like the adding machine
in a moment adds up the results with
out the possibility of IN error. If
adding machines were in use
throughout Steele county we would
have known by 6 p. m. the exact vote
of every candidate in the county from
president to coroner. And there
would be no laundering.

We don't believe in sending to
Harry Mitchell for clothes, as we
have good stores and a good tailor at
home But we didn't start to write
this to talk about the clothing bus
mess, but to talk about something of
interest to every farmer. We refer to
an implement that every farmer ought
to have, namely, the Manure Spreader.
| We ordered a car load of Success
Manure Spreaders last fall, and then
in May this year got in another car,
and have sold down to two machines,
so we have just ordered a car which
will be here in a few days.
There must be a reason why the
Success sells so readily, and there is

business, the Kemp & Burpee Mfg.
Co., OF Syracuse, N. Y, they have the
experience; and experience is a good
thing, as is demonstrated by the fact
that some features now in use on
competitors machines were tried by
this firm years ago and discarded as
impractical. Two farmers we're sit
ting in our Office the other day; one of
them who owns an 80 bushel Success
Spreader remarked that he had run it
all fall with a team of 3 year old colts,
and that it did not seem to worry
them, but stated that one of his neigh
bOrs had .......... Spreader on
which he had four horses and it SEEM
ed to give them a pretty good pull too.
Another farmer spoke up and said
that q farmer near him had another
make of spreader on which he used
four horses. Now there is a reason
for this light draft, as every wheel
and working part on the Success is
roller-bearing, and the drive wheels
are larger in diameter than com.

is larger than most machines, and the
frame more rigid, so that there is nc

beater, and the way it is located
makes it possible to do better work,
and the heater cannot be used by
competitors, unless they pay royalty
to the X. & B. Co.
There is not a anu spreader on
the market that we have not had a
chance to buy, and in fact have been
urged to buy, but we firmly believe
that the Success is by far the best OF
all. AS an evidence of this we will
say that we can buy any other spread
er on the market for less money, and
not have to pay freight from New
York state either. But our belief is
that quality is what the farmer wants,
aid that they will not hesitate to pay
a few dollars more when convinced
that they will more that get their
moneys worth.
Space is too short to describe fully
the good points in detail, but if you
do not own a spreader, don't put 1t
off any longer, as you are loosing
money every year, to prove this ask
any man who has run q spreader for
three years. Now we will make
favorable prices and terms, and you
may as we'll be earning some money
this winter as not. We don't ask you
to buy a Success because We are sell
ing them, and unless we can convince
you that it is the best machine on the
market, it isn't the n you want.
But we do ask that you investigate
carefully, and buy q %spreader. You
can't take fertility out of the soil for
ever and not replace it; and the soon
er the farmers realize this the better
it will be for all of US.
It's a little off the subject; but we
are over-stocked on Sharples Cream
Separators; (another money maker)
if you can use one: better get in
while the stock we have on hand lasts
as We are willing to make prices and
terms that will move them. If you
need a separator, we can sure make a
deal.

to the thunderous. applause which
greeted her every appearance and ef-
fort, singing a large number of en-

prime ability, was also enthusiastical-
ly received as was Miss Showers, the
pianist. Great credit is also due to
the most perfect work of Mr.. Beniost,
the accompanist.
