1t is a shame tie way the beet
growers in north Colorado have
had to stand around this fall like
SO many sand hill cranes waiting
for cars to haul their crops to the
factories. We are beginning to
think this sugar beet business has
about as many drawbacks as
pleasantries and it is no wonder
that so many men are constantly
dropping out of the game Any
day this fall traveller in north
ern Colorado could not help
noticing the long lines OF farm
wagons loaded with beets waiting
turn at the dumps. The men and
teams required thus to stand in
the hot sun all day are not paid
tor their time but the cost comes
out of the pockets of the growers
just the same and it makes one OF
the leaks not usually calculated
in making up the balance sheets
by those who like to prate about
the profits in beet culture.-Field
and Farm.

Ray Hadley and Thad Williams

The trutle was caught in a pond near
here, and as each boy claimed share
in it they decided one should keep
the turtle two days and then it should
be turned over to the other for two
days. Sunday the boys forgot to
transfer the turtle, and this morning
when young Williams went to the
turtles tub he found it gone. Search
was instituted without success until
this afternoon, when the turtle was
found endeavoring to climb into the
other tub, its home, in the back yard
Of the Hadley home. Evidently the
turtle remembered the date, and had
crawled the entire distance between
tn two homes, which is more than a
block, making the trip by the alleys,

FLAMES DESTROY PROPERTY ON
SATURDAY NIGHT WORTH
PROBABLY $4,000.
ORIGINATED IN LIVERY STABLE
Many Horses and Vehicles Burned.
But For Splendid Fight Great DAM
age Would Have Resulted.

Columbia was swept by another dis
astrous fire Saturday night by blaze
which started in Matthews Bros
stable on East Seventh street, destroy
ing that building, twelve horses and
eleven vehicles and then swept to the
public square, where large damage
was done buildings owned by R. c.
Church, Miss Nettie Dew and Sam
Stephens, and to the furniture stock
Of Sam Stephens and the produce
stock of L. Barker. The total loss is
about s15,20O, with an insurance that
will apply of about $1,000.
The fire was first discovered near
the corncrib of the stable at about
$3.50 o'clock and the infamable ma
terial Of the stable and the contents
caused it to burn rapidly. The fire
department was out in few minutes
and did heroic service, but the large
area to be covered and the nature of
the material the fire was feeding on
forced them to confine their efforts
towards saving the surrounding build
ings. In the meantime efforts were
being made to save the horses and
vehicles in the stable.
The fact that the shows at South
Side Park were in prograss and that
a musical program and fire works
were being put on out there caused
an unusually large number of horses
to be on hand from the country, but
the horses belonging to the stable
we're nearly all in use carrying the
crowds to the park. Many of the
horses and vehicles were saved, and
of the twelve horses lost not one be-
longed to the stable, but all were
either boarders or were simply hitched

Columbia, lost two horses on which
there was $3.50 insurance, and also

2 CONVENTIONS
AT HOHENWALD
JOHN A. GREER OF PERRY coUN-
TY, NOMINATED BY
ONE.
PA. TERSON MEN ADJOURl
And Will Meet This Afternoon When
Nomination Will Be
Made.
(By J. I. FINNEY.)
Special to The Herald.

HOHENWALD. Tenn, September
22.-The senatorial convention at
Hohenwald today, resulted in a bolt,
as had been anticipated, and in con-
sequence there will be two nominees
put out by the democrats for Senator
from this the Twentieth district
John E. Greer of Perry and some 9TH
er man to be chosen by the Patterson
followers this afternoon.
The regular convention was called
together at noon by w. R. Brinn,
Chairman of the Perry County Execu-
tive Committee. At the same hour
and in the same hall the Patterson
convention was called together by
Chairman Cooper of the Lewis County
Democratic Executive Committee.
The regular convention elected
Thomas H. Forgey of Maury, Chair
man and seated the John A. Greer
delegations from the three counties
composing the district. The conven-
ton was session about an hour. Mr..
Greer was nominated for Senator by
unanimous vote. No platform was
adopted, but committee, composed of
j. l. Finney Of Maury, A. P. Craig of
Perry and w. R.. Amis OF Lewis, was
appointed to prepare and issue an ad-
dress to the voters of the county
showing why the Greer convention
was regular.and the nominee deserved
the support of all democrats.
The Patterson delegation was in
session only a few moments when
they adjourned until this afternoon.
When they meet a candidate will be
nominated and the state platform will
be endorsed. Messrs. J. H. Russell,
8. @. Weatherly and A. o. p. Nichol-
son of Maury and w. r. Sloan and
Capt. Webb of Perry are mentioned

COUNTY'S FAIR
WAS A SUCCESS
ATTENDANCE WAS GOOD, AL-
THOUGH IT WAS NOT EQUAL
TO LAST YEAR.
SECRETARY THOMAS PLEASED
Race Horse People Are Loud in Praise
Of the Character of
Meeting.

|. When the gates of South Side Park
closed shortly before midnight Satur-
day the Maury county fair Of 1908 has
passed into history. 1t will be a very
pleasant memory too for majority of
those who witnessed it. On the, whole
the fair was greatly enjoyed andsprov-
ed most pleasant weeks diversion.
While there was some criticism
of various departments as a general
thing the people appeared to be sat
isfied with what they got for their
money.
1t was a successful fair too. The
attendance was NOT up%o the high wa
ter mark of last year but it was splen-
did and there is little doubt that when
the accounts are all made up the as
ISOLATION will probably find that it has
a balance on the right side of the
ledger. The races and the horse show
were unquestionably the best features
of the fair and were in some respects
better than ever before, especially
was this true OF the races which were
marked by some sensationally fast
heats, the record being broken no less
than three times during the I'VE days
meet
There was some criticism leveled
at the agricultural exhibit and some
of it appears to be, justified, the fair
is supposed to be primarily at least,
an advertisement Of the resources of
Maury county. Agriculture is the
countys chief source of wealth, but
the exhibit is not what 1t should have
been. In fact it did not do credit to
the county. 1t was not as good as
that of last year and that was not
like what it should have
been. The management could pop
ularize the fair with the farmers and
make it much better advertising
medium il better premiums were Offer !
ed for the agricultural exhibits and
greater attention were paid to this
feature, but. the management cannot !
do everything, and unless they have
the cooperation of the farmers this
feature will fall behind
Secretary Hardin w. Thomas Of the
Fair Association was seen Monday
by representative of The Herald
and was asked how the officers of the
felt regarding the fair and
low he thought they would come out
He said the attendance was not as
rood as they had expected and they
we're disappointed on this point, and
we're also disappointed in the band as
t did not come up to promises and
hey felt they had not been treated in
his matter as they should have been.

SPRING HILL, Tenn, Sept 22.-
The foot ball fever is getting in the
blood of the people of Spring Hill.
The spirit Of the game is in the at.
mosphere and each afternoon when
Coach Hobson of Branham & Hughes
school takes his squad out for practice
on Campbell Field there is a large
crowd out to witness the work of the
boys.
Quite number Of the old team are
back this year and the prospects for a
good team are very fattering. In
fact the team bids fair to be better
than the one of last year. Coach
Hobson has not as yet made up any
squads or gotten down to playing any
games, has only been giving lessons
in the art of defense and offense. BY
the latter part of the week they will
begin to form skirmish lines and the
game will be played between two
picked teams. The outlook for win
ming team is excellent, and they will
go out to win every game they play.
