The Citizens Telephone Company
has commenced moving to its new Of
fees in the Grant Building on North
Garden street recently occupied by the
Independent Phosphate Company.
This company has moved to its new
Offices in the old Bohemian club
rooms.
The Citizens Telephone Company
in moving to new quarters greatly i'm
proves its facilities for handling the
business Of the town and county. The
building is better suited for the tele-
phone business than the quarters In
the Masonic Building which have been
occupied for the past eight or ten
years. The telephone business VIII
all be conducted on the second floor.
The front room will be used as a re-
ception room for the young ladies and
the long distance board booths win be
placed in this room. In the second or
middle room will be the operators and
their boards. This board Is entirely
new and is the Ericsson Indicator
Jack. 1t is one of the latest and most
improved telephone boards that is
manufactured.
The new improvements on this
board over the old one enables 1t to
use the party line to great advanr
tage. For instance where there are
as many as two, three or four on the
same line, the new board has device
that calls only one on the line at a
time and other parties on the line
cannot hear the conversation going on
by the interested parties.
There are many other valuable fea-
lures about the board, and one OF the
most useful and beneficial is that
when. call is made the operator
should she be disposed to do so, can
not put the drop In without the use
of a plug which gives the desired con-
nection, and another feature is that

LAND TRANSFERS
SHOW DECREASE
REAL ESTATE NOT NEAR As Ac-
TIVE DURING THIS YEAR AS
IN 1907.
HIGH PRICES and DEPRESSION
Responsible for Small Volume Of
Business During Past Eleven
Months.

Financial depression which lasted
through the greater part of the past
year together with the high prices
at which Maury county real estate
is being held had a rather serious eff.
fetc upon the real estate market In
the county with the result that the
transactions during the year show q
big decrease as compared with the
previous year The totals for the pres
ent month are not available but a
comparison of the first eleven months
of the year with the corresponding
months of the previous year shows
that the decrease has been more than
twenty per cent.
During the eleven months of this
year ending on Nov. 80 the real es-
tate transfers of the county amounted
to $914,830 while for the same months
of hast year the transfers aggregated
81, 194,S7O. This shows a decrease OF
more than $2sO,O0O. The per cent.
decrease for the whole year win make
little better showing for the reason
that during the last months of this
year there was a general increase az
compared with the same mouths Of
1907.
With the exception Of May every
month during this year up to July
shows a decrease in transactions an
compared with the same months Of
last year. The heaviest falling on
was in June, the transfers in that
month Of this year being only $751;,
$50 as compared $114,1OO for June OF
1907. From July, however, until No
vember there was an increase every
month of this year although in some
months it was very slight. The best
Increase being $4,000 in October.
Following is a comparative state

the board is self-lifting Of drops which

Should the business OF the company
increase which it is bound to do, the

lions can be added without causing

book cases.
A portion of the back room is fitted
up for the young ladies sleeping apart
ments at night, which has all modern
and necessary conVeniences. The
other part of the room is taken up with
the electrical effects, cables, etc.
General Manager o. j. Porter In
talking to a Herald reporter today
stated that while the service would no
doubt be greatly improved as soon as
the new board was put in use, but
that it will be in the spring months
before the fun benefit of the service
will be derived, as it will be necessary
to change the service from ground to
a metallic service before these new
improvements can be available, and
this change cannot be done until fair
and warm weather. The cables are
all up and ready for the cut In Of the
additional wires that viii have to be
run from each phone on the system
to make 1t a metallic system and that
when this is completed the Citizens
service will be second to none.
Or. Porter further stated that he
hoped to get moved this week and the
first of next, and that while making
the move that a part of the service
would be out of commission. The
move will be made in sections of one
hundred. When one section Of one
hundred is cut in on the new board
the operator will be changed and then
another hundred will be cut out and
cut in. 1t will require about three
hours to make each of these changes.

ARRESTS FALL
OFF ONE HALF
POLICE RECORDS SHOW GREAT
IMPROVEMENTS SINCE A5oLI-
TIoN OF SALOONS.
CHRISTMAS DRINKS VERY RARE
Only Four Charged With That Of
tense This Year Compared With
Fifteen in 1906.

Since the abolition of the open sa'
loon from Columbia on the S1st day
of March. 1907. there have been many
improvements made toward the bet
terment of the town from a moral
standpoint.
With the assistance of Acting City
Recorder w. P. Erwin, The Herald
is enabled to give some figures taken
from the Recorders docket showing
the number of arrests made in the
years of 1907 and 1908 without the
open saloons. 1t is true as the fig
ures will show that there has been a
gain in the number Of arrests in 1908
of one over 1907, all of which year
was not without the open saloon, but
that difference can be accounted for
in this manner as the records will
show. After the saloons went out In
1907 there was hardly any arrests at
all, but since the repeated pradoning
of the criminals by the Governor
there has been an increase in the
amount of lawlessness, as the law
breakers have become holder and
there has been more liquor shipped
into Columbia, those having it shipped
knowing full well that there was a
pardon awaiting them should they be
detected.
The report Tor the three years 1906
to 1908 are as follows:

Laxative for
 Women Free

There is great difference in the purposes to which laxative should be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc., are usually violent purgatives or cathartics, and altogether too power ful for the average person.
 A woman at all times needs only mild laxative-in fact, none other is needed by anyone, weak or strong though they may be, for the object is simply to move the bowels, and If gentle laxative will do it, what is the use of a violent one?
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has earned a well-deserved vogue among women and children and old folkS-people who must necessarily be careful of what they take.
 It is liquid laxative tonic and ad- bowel remedy before the American people. The price is only 50 cents or $1 a bottle. as it comes in both sizes. and all drug gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle action make it an ideal remedy for women in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom- aeh, sick headache, heartburn and such like digestive complaints. Its use for short time will remove the trouble. en- tireiy so that future medication will be unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up the stomach and intestinal muscles so that they act naturally again That this is so is the experience of many heads of families, like Mrs, Grammar, of Alvarado. Va, Mrs. K. l.. Stout, of Louisville, Ky. Williams, Cal, as Mrs. J: E. Blackmore, of that place, writes the whole town seems to be using it.
 If the remedy is new to you and you want to make a trial of 1t before buying, send your name to the doctors address as below and free test bottle will be sent you Then if results are satisfactory you can buy it of your druggist

STUTTGART has a new canning factory that will employ from 75 to 100 people. The factory will handle strawberries, beans, to- matoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, and will also manu- facture catsup, lye hominy and syrup. This will keep the fac- tory busy the whole year round. It is nothing less than a pity that the business of the Green Forest cannery is not made to cover all these varieties of prod ucts. Tit can be made to pay at Stuttgart it can be made to pay here. Our factory should be made to run increasingly from May to Novem Der. It could be done if the farmers would raise the products. People here gen. orally wait to see whether thing will pay before they reach out. They practice the advice given a boy once who was instructed by his mother to stay out of the water until he learned how to swim.

JUDGE WoRTHINGToN received practically the unanimous in- dorsement of the Republican state central committee for the position of United States district attorney to succeed the late James K. Barnes. In the cam paign for the indorsement Judge Worthington's opponents made a very undignified attempt to attack his ability as a lawyer. The accusation was so complete ly exploded as to react strongly in the Judges favor. That he will make the district an able attorney is belief shared by the legal fraternity throughout the circle of the Judges acquaint- ances.

A Eol3 ss;,i..ef,,

To overcome the weli-gfounded anG reasonable objections of the more intel- ligent to tho uso of secret, medicina, com pounds, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. r., some time ago, decided to mako bold departure from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medicines for do nestle use, and SO has published broad- cast and openly to the whole world, full and compfpte list of all the ingredients entering inNp-the composition of his widely celebrated RadicNes. Thus he has taken his numers1s patrons and patients into his full Confidence. Thus too he has re- moved/hlsfhedcines from among secret nostrIHSof doubtful merits, and made themlRemcdies of Kno,C1t Composition.
 By this hold- -step Dr. Pierce hes shown that hiS 1QrmnlaS are Qf such -e2cslle that he is not aIraM to subject them tQ the fullest -ScrntlY.-

From this littlc book it will be learned that Dr. Pierce'S mcd- ,cines contain no alcohol. narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native medici- nal roots of great value; also that some of the most valuable ingredients contained iu Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak. nervous, over-worked.

AS a result of the completion of the new Missouri and North Arkansas railroad the people of this part of the state will be able this season to ship their apple and peach crop to the Mississip- pi Valley, says the Harrison Times. The prospect for large crop of both apples and peaches in this part of the state is very bright. Heretofore fruit growers of this section have been unable to reach the Mississippi Valley except by circuitous route. They will now be able to ship direct to Little Rock, Helena, Memphis and other southwestern trade centers.
