 Miss Moseley has surprised her many friends by the amount and quality Of work done by her during the past year. A pin in scaval design is one of the most artistic in the entike display.

ART EXHIBITION
 CLOSES TOMORROW.

The art exhibit In the Chamber of Com nlerce will be continued until tomorrow at noon.
 z The display of china in the exhibit is a decided credit to the Art club and the city. While the number of pieces is less than last year the quality of the work is of the best. The work of the true artist Is shown in every piece. | The thought of the artists has been wrought with infinite pains into these beautiful designs. Many people overlook the fact that this is just as true of art in china as in picture, and that in china decoration imagination plays a great part.
 One of the most artistic and beauti- ful pieces is teapot designed and paint ad hy Mrs. Raulston A tea set and pitcher with sea gull designs are eK- uuisite Mrs. Raustol is doing much for art in our city.
 Mrs. Notions work is unusually me.

 And America, was very good to this Dutch singer last year. All unknown as she was outside of New York, 1t ex- tended to her welcome that outlasted 75 concerts, and enabled her manager to book her next season solidly, with the exception of few dates in January, be fore she had even returned from her vacation. Not many singers get such sub stantial proof of their popularity.
 Outside of her work Jomelli is intensely domestic. She loves nothing better than ''fussing" around her apartment, which is charmingly arranged, and on which she lavishes a world of care. 1t Is no wonder that Jomelli, the woman. radiates a charm that has made her one of ts'a most popular concert singers in America.

CHRISTMAS BIRDS
BRING BEST PRICES
EVER KNOWN HERE
LOCAL DEALERS ARE PAYING FIF
TEEN CENTS PER POUND
ON FOOT.
SHIPPING ONE CAR LO,D EAILi
Total Holiday Trade Will Amount to
Forty Thousand Dollars-Turkeys
Are Shipped "Dry Packed" to New
York.

Columbia is the best turkey market
in the State. This is the statement of
viii Barker. OF the Barker Produce
Company, who is paying better prices
fer turkeys than are being paid at
Nashville and other shipping points.
The Barker Produce Company is
shipping this week one car of turkeys
daily, and will ship an equal amount
next week. The price paid is fifteen
cents per pound, which is the high rec
ord for Tennessee. Prices are about
twenty per cent higher than last year,
which was a record breaker up to that
time
Each car of turkeys shipped from
here averages 10000 pounds, and the
entire holiday business, including
Thanksgiving, will amount to $4,000.
Thus it is seen that the turkey sales
compare favorably with sales in other
lines of farm produce, and show the
possibility of the turkey business.
The number of turkeys grown in
Maury county is something less than
the production Of last year, the crop
being light ali over the country. This
and the general prosperity, accounts
for the high prices.
The farmers receive about $500 per
head for their turkeys, which average
well as to weight and condition. The
birds have been we'll fed and are fat
and juicy.
Local dealers are taking advantage
of the cold weather to ship their tur-
keys "dry packed" which means that
the cars are not iced This saves the
expense of icing, and enables them to
nay about two cents more on the
pound The fowls are shipped direct
to New York, where they are placed
in cold storage and held for the
Christmas trade.
"A fact that should be impressed up
on the farmers is that Ii they VIII
bring their turkeys in this week while
the cold weather lasts they will get
better prices than they will to hold
later after the cold spell has broken
up." said Mr. Barker today. i had
rather pay Is cents this week than to
pay 10 cents and be compelled to ice
the cars"
The local dealers are buying tur-
KEYS at Thompson's Station and West
Harpeth and are competing with Nash
Vile dealers in their own territory.
