prise on the anniversary of his natal
day in the form of a sociable. The
affair was quietly arranged and sue
cessfully carried out at the home Of
Rev. and Mrs. Boyd. The members
and invited guests assembled at the
home of Mrs. A. S. Rucker and at a
given signal, the turning on of a light
by Mrs. Boyd, all crossed the street,
going into the Boyd home; the hon
Gree at once began using his mental
apparatus to see what was up and
after remembering that some years
ago on that date Henry Allen Boyd
was born. one of those 'smiles that
won't wear off" came on his face.
A short program was rendered, and
after an address by Mr.. Boyd,
which closed the evenings pro-
gram, the dining-room was thrown
open, where in the center of the ia
BILE stood a cake decorated with the
regulation birthday tapers, which
were lighted. An elaborate menu
was served and toasts were given
wishing him many happy returns of
the day. Almost the entire member

FRANKLIN. TENNESSEE.
NOTES.
FRANKLIN,

No one in Centerville will ever for
get the awful scenes of Thursday
night, April 20. Centerville has
before been visited by a storm.
On the night of April 20, when this
little town was hushed in sleep and
all nature stepped in peaceful dreams,
the people of Centerville woke to see
on the one hand houses reduced to
kindling and on the other heard
cries and groans from the injured.
Few houses remained unchanged and
many were blown to the ground. The
Baptist, Methodist and Christian
churches were totally destroyed.
The home of Jno. Burchard was
blown down and then caught fire.
He and family narrowly escaped
an untimely grave.
The home of Prof. and Mrs. T. j..
Clinnison was almost blown away.
They had just been aroused by the
storm, sprang to their feet, when the
top part of a very large folding bed
fell across the bed with terrific force.
Had they been a few seconds late
they would have been crushed to
death.
The most pathetic scenes were at
the home of Mrs. Pelina Harris, a
widow, whose home was blown to
pieces. Her cries for help, mingled
with that of her four little children,
would touch any heart and move the
dryest eyes to tears. The storm oc-
Cured between 10 and II o'clock.
Through the remainder of the night
the streets were alive with a mass OF
humanity. Southeast Centreville was
the scene of the greatest damage.
Most houses in that section were
either totally destroyed or badly
damaged. The greatest surprise was
the few killed and injured.
The death list: Porter Farris, ten
years old. son of Mrs. Pelina Farris,
The injured: Jno. Burchard, R. S.
Hornbeak, Mrs. Adeline Wyles, Mrs,
Pelina Farris and Mrs. Aggie Dye.
DR.. e. A. Posey rendered valuable
services. Relief committees were
quickly formed.
The storm so wrecked everything
that school will be dismissed for the
remainder of the session. The schoo,
sustained the loss of its beautiful
piano, which was moved to the
church preparatory to the closing ex
ercises which would have begun May
"a. Elaborate preparations had beer
made for this closing.
Prof. and Mrs. T. ]. C~linnison sus
tanned a great loss in the damage
done to their furniture, for their home
was almost wholly unroofed amid the
greatest of the rain. Their books an(
book cases we're also greatly dam
aged.

PEOPLES BANK AND TRUST

At a meeting of the Stockholders OF

of selecting a site was made a special
feature. The committee reported
several places, all very desirable To-
cations, but the stockholders were
almost unanimously in favor Of the

Geo. Gary for a restaurant. The
site is an ideal one and will make a

SPORT.

In a game filled with brilliant hit
ting and bad fielding the Birmingham
Giants defeated the Nashville Col
legians by the score of IA to 6. The
game was a smuggling match from the
start in which the Nashville boys had
the better of the mill, but lost the game
by bad fielding. Two wild throws, a
passed ball and dumb base running
were their undoing. Smith, though, has
a frisky set of youngsters who are go
ing to make trouble for all corners this
season. The Birmingham team is a
good one and is full of good ball play
ers. They are %gentlemanly and play
the game all the time. They are max
ing a trip North this season and are
being watched by all the ball players in
the South to see what kind of a showing
the South is going to make. Nashville
hopes to see them again this season.
The Birmingham Giants defeated
Louisville, Sunday 1O-1. Louisville
found herself helpless before the mas
terly pitching of Taylor, who gave up
two hits in nine innings and struck
out five men. Harris, of Louisville,
pitched a good game, but was given poor
support. The weather was very cold
and the crowd was not as large as ex-
pected.

STRONG CONCRETE CULVERT
BUILT AT MODERATE COST
Good Ons Of Essentials to Farmers In
Travelling Place. Whether on Business
PIeasure-By A. j. Saser.

II Is by the wagon ways that the
farmers generally pass from place to
place. for business or for pleasure.
and those wagon ways appear to-day
far worse than we should expect to
see them, with the great wealth and
advanced civilization the people have
,ttained.
The farming class, that has had
charge of the public roads for the
last 100 years or more. has been slow
to learn that the soil made by nature
through grinding or pulver.zing rock
with some humus or vegetable matter.
when 1t is wet and mixed up, is mud.
and when very dry and worn by pub

road soon becomes water soaked. The
crown can be too great, so that the
traffic keeps continually in the middle
OF the road, wearing the middle out
hollow and retaining the water until
evaporation takes place, instead Of
shedding 1t into the bitches. Again.
If the earth is piled too high In the
middle the side slopes will be washed
into the side bitches, which not only
damages the road but fills up the side
bitches. The crown should be more

level portions, since on the grades the
line of steepest descent is not per-
pendicular to length of the road, and
consequently the water. in getting
from the center of the road to the
side bitches, travels obliquely down

the track and washing the hill length

Another cause of failure is the want
of thorough mixing. There may be a
proper amount of sand and clay placed
upon the road, yet II 1t is not thor

muddy in others. Such variations may
occur every few feet, and even at the
same place, one wheel track being in
loose sand and the other in mud.
Where this condition occurs more
good, tough clay should be incorpo-
rated in the first and more sharp sand
in the second section.

A GOOD METHOD
OF TESTING SEEDS
Farmer Should Make a Most
Thorough Test of Them
Before Planting.

In the state course OF study issued
by the North Dakota agricultural col
iege, the following directions are CIV
en- for testing farm seeds. An even 100
seeds are selected of any given grain.
tested in the following manner:
'Invert a small pie plate in an ordi-
nary dinner plate, then pour small
amount of water into the dinner plate;
place a double cotton flannel cloth
over the pie plate wide enough to
reach from side to side. and long
enough to reach into the water from
both sides of the plate. The cloth will
carry water to the seeds placed be-
tween the folds of the cloth as a lamp
wick carries oil, and in sufficient guam
tity to sprout the seed. Another din
ner plate should then be placed over
the pie plate and cloth to prevent too
rapid evaporation of the water. Seeds
tested In this way under ordinary tenn
peratures and care give better results
than they would had they been sown
In the field, where varying tempera-
lures, depths of covering, and moisture
obtained act as a drawback to the full
termination of the seed. These facts
should be taken into consideration
when trials are made
