MULE SHOW
BIG FEATURE
FALL FAIR WILL HAVE JOHN L
JONES IN CHARGE OF THIS
DEPARTMENT.

The greatest mule show in the his
tory of the county was pulled off at
the Maury County Fair in 1907 There
has never been in the South such a
collection of fine mules. The great
ness of the exhibit was heralded far
and wide and inquiries from all parts
of the world were received by mule
men as to the full extent of the ex-
hibit Magazines, newspapers and
stock journals all over the country
were clamoring for pictures of the
occasion. John L, Jones, who was in
charge of the show, and who is presi-
dent of the National Jack Breeders
Association of America, was beseiged
with inquiries about the mules of this
county.
It has been said that the show could
never be equaled again, from quality
and quantity standpoint. This does
not follow in the least. What has
been done once can be done again,
and with John L. Jones in charge
again, it is almost a certainty that
the show of 1907 will be eQualed, if
not outclassed in 1909.
In addition to this department Mr..
Jones will also be placed in charge
of the fruit exhibit, and this alone
will be a wonderful addition to the
agricultural exhibit. Mr.. Jones has
adopted a special plan and has made
arrangements whereby all fruits and
vegetables can be preserved In SPLEEN
did form and when the time comes
for the exhibit, they will be placed on
show in the natural state OF preserva-
ton.
A number of committees in differ
ent sections of the county will be APP
pointed by Mr.. Jones to look after
their localities and bring up the ex-
hibits in great style.

early last year, but improvements
now made indicate that a resumption
will occur in the immediate future. The

WASHINGTON July By vote
of 80 to Il the corporation tax amend
ment to the tariff bill was adopted by
the senate at : o'clock Friday evening
just prior to adjournment. Only three
democrats voted against the amend
ment when it was placed on its final
passage. but prior to that, when test
votes were had. the democrats gen

Tomorrow the senate will take up

The general expectation is that the

The disposition of the corporation
tax amendment came rather unexpect-
eddy at the end of a day devoted to
debate, Senator Aldrich who re-
tudned to Washington Friday morning
and resumed control Of the forces sup
porting the tariff measure, endeavored
to bring about an agreement by which
the corporation tax would be voted on
before adjournment this evening, but
he did not receive much encourage

when his efforts seemed doomed to-
failure, Mr.. Aldrich, provoked by an
apparent disposition on the part of
several senators to talk about matters
of no great consequence, took the bit
in his teeth and. abandoning prece
dent, moved that the senate proceed
to vote on the pending corporation
tax proposition. Strangely enough,
no objection was raised to his course
although several senators proceeded to
make observations on the question at
issue.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they connot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by 'Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

name Sigsbee is inseparably connected with the
loss of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor

he met II in a way that the world
knows all about.
The Oregon arrived at Rio de ia
metro April 30, 1898, and 1t was there
that the captain received a dispatch
from Washington stating that war had
existed between the United States and
Spain since the twenty-irst OF the
month. Capt. Clark mustered his crew
and made the war announcement. The
scene that followed was an inspiring
one. Lieut. Eberle of the Oregon, In
an article In the Century Magazine
eight years ago, describes 1t thus:
"All hands were very anxious for
news, and memorable we're the cheers
that greeted the news that war had
been declared. In few moments our
band was on deck and between the
rounds of cheers the strains of The
Star-Spangled Banner and Hail, Co
lumbia' floated over the Brazilian deet
and the crowds that lined the wharyes.
The crew uncovered and stood at, at
tention during the playing Of the ma
tional anthem, and then followed more
cheers and the inspiring battle cry.
Remember the Maine!' watchword
often heard about the decks as the men
turned to the coal barges and worked
as they had never worked before. The
intense heat and the long, trying work
ing hours of those days and nights
were borne without a murmur."

wrote: 1--WE loved our captain and had
