How such committee should be

CHARLES U. PETTY.

The funeral services OF Charles u.
Petty were held at the residence of
his father, Geo. w. Petty, Versailles,
Monday afternoon, June 7, 1909. 1t
was one of the largest attended we
have seen in this city. Charlie Petty,
as all knew him, was one of the most
popular young men in the county.
No one was more generally loved by
old and young than he was. He was
one of those whole-souled, big-heart-
ed, good-humored, optomistic men
that it is a pleasure to be with. To
meet him was like meeting ray Of
sunshine, and young and old were
always glad to 80 out of their way
to meet Charlie( Petty. His visits
home were continuous source Of
pleasure to his father and mother,
brothers and sisters, and when he
was away their greatest pleasure was
in looking ahead to the time of his
coming home again. He developed
into a good business man early in
life and was one of the best travelling
statesmen in the country for many
years. For some time his business
has taken him to California, San Jose
being his headquarters. Recently in
making trip in buggy he hurt his
knee, which had been giving him
some trouble for several years. He
went to the hospital at San Jose, and
when telegram came saying he was
there, his brother, w. T., at once
started. Blood poison developed, and
before any one. here realized the SER
iousness of histcondition, telegram
came saying that he died the 3Ist OF
May. His brother Will brought the
remains back, reaching here Sunday
noon. Rev. W. c. Bewley conduct
ed the funeral services Monday even
ing, and the boy, so much thought OF
by all, was laid to rest that evening
His many friends here and in differ.
ent parts of the country showed thei,
love and regard for the young man by
sending flowers, until not only the
beautiful Casket was covered, but the
room where the casket stood, was
banked with carnations, roses, in fac'
nearly all the beautiful flowers thai
bloom. Charlie Petty is gone, but il
will be a long time before he is for
gotten.

SUPREME COURT.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. May 3.-The
bills of exceptions in the case of Col
Duncan B. and Robin Cooper were re-
turned Saturday to Judge Hart, who
signed them. and now the case will &c
to the supreme court for final decision
AS this was the last day of the Jan
uary term of court, it was necessary
for the attorneys for the defense to
oct the bill of exceptions ready, or
failing in that, to get further lease
of time from Judge Hart.
The counsel for the defendants a
few days ago entered a motion FOR
the full thirty days time within which
70 prepare the bill of exceptions, but
Iudge Hart ruled that the bill of ex'
ceptions must be handed in Saturday
An estimate of the length OF the
document can be gathered when 1t is
known that It covers more than $500
tvnewritten pages. 1t will be some
time during the early months of 1910
before the case will come before the
supreme court.

BANKS MAKE
GOOD SHOWING
ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS THE
COMBINED ASSETS.

One million, five hundred thousand
dollars is a great deal Of money It
represents not quite one-eighth OF the
total assessed value Of all the property
in Maury county and yet that is just
about the total of the combined as
sets of the Maury National Bank and
the Phoenix National Bank as shown
in their statements to be found in
today's Herald The condition of these
two banks grows more and more pros
porous all the time Each succeed
ing statement shows an Improvement
over the previous one, and those today
are the best so far shown.
The Phoenix National shows nearly
100000 drawing interest with plenty
of money on hand for the ordinary
business demands. Surplus and un-
divided profits are nearly $4,000,
though the institution is young in
years. Individual deposits have near
ly reached the $3.50 900 mark,
The Maury National Bank has $780,
900 drawing interest, with surplus Of
nearly $5O,O00 and individual deposits
of $634,0OO 1t would be difficult to
find two financial institutions in the
State more wisely managed than these
two banks

INSURANCE COMPANY PAYS
THE CLAIM OF MRS. CARMACK
CHECK FOR FIVE HUNDRED DoLLARs-0oEs NOT
INCLUDE INTERESTS.

At the time of his death Senator
Carmack carried an accident policy
with the Pennsylvania Casualty. Pay
ment upon this policy was refused on
the ground that the death of the in
sured was occasioned by some negli-
gence of his own-or in melee which
he had brought on. In view of the
verdict of the jury in the Cooper case
this ground was hardly tenable, and
Immediately following the filing OF
he suit the claim was paid. The law
imposes a penalty for the non-pay-
ment of insurance claims within a
certain time after they are due, but
in view of tie settlement of the claim
this penalty will not be exacted. The
costs and interest in the case are yet
to be adjusted.
