PETER HARRISON
RETURNS TO MAURY

MAN BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
DROWNED Is HALE AND
HEARTY. -.
HAS BEEN IN EAST TENNESSEE
Relatives Make The Necessary Bond
And Harrison Will Be Allowed to
Retain His Liberty-Here on the
18th.

Pete Hardison, the prominent farm
er of the Hardison Bend neighborhood,
who disappeared from home some
weeks ago, has returned TO his wonted
haunts and will be on hand when his
case is called in court at the next
term.
Mr. Hardison returned three days
before his case was originally set for
trial, having arrived in Maury county
on December 18th. He did not know
until he reached home that the docket
had been reset, it is stated, and for
this reason had failed to put in an
appearance earlier
Relatives of Mr.. Hardison went be-
fore Sheriff Webb Wednesday and
made the necessary bond of $4,000,
which was the amount of the original
Oond.
The disappearance of HARRISON was
surrounded with mystery, it being
feared that he had been drowned.
Duck river was dragged for the body,
which was never discovered. When
the case was called in court the bonds
men were called out, and were given
until February for the judgment to be
made final. Hardison, who is charged
with the murder of Tony Steele, a
negro, is said to have been in East
Tennessee for a few weeks.

WITHIN A MONTH
OVER THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE
RAILWAY TO LEATHER
WOOD.
LINE PRACTICALLY COMPLETE
Will Connect With The Interurban
at Franklin And Tickets Will Be
Sold Through From LeatherWood
to Nashville.

Full-fedged passenger trains will be
running into Leatherwood within less
than one month.
This statement was made today by
Robt. Sparrow, of the Middle Tennes-
see Railway, and is authoritative.
THE road is practically completed
to Leatherwood now" said Mr.. Spar
SOW" and within the next month both
passenger and freight trains win be
running. The present intention Of the
company is not to run mixed trains,
carrying both passengers and freight,
but to run passenger trains purely for
the accommodation of the travelling
public.
1.-THE road has been constructed
from Franklin to Leatherwood, and
at Franklin we will connect with the
Interurban, in which the Middle Ten
nessee Railway holds stock. A
through ticket to Nashville will be sold
over the Middle Tennessee Railway
and the Interurban. Attractive rates
will be put on, although it would be
impossible for me to state the exact
fare, as yet"
With the completion of the Middle
Tennessee Railway to Leatherwood
Maury county has an addition railway
system within her borders. The new
road traverses rich farming and min
ing lands, and will be of much benefit
! to citizens in certain portions OF the
county.
The new road comes within seven
miles of Columbia at one point, and
could be extended to the city at com
paratively low cost.

SHOWS EN- HOW
TO RAISE HOGS
FORMER MAuRY coUNTIAN CAR.
RES THE, RECIPE TO LONE
STAR STATE.

w. p. DooIey, VINO formerly resided
in this county and who has many
friends here, since moving to Hills
boro. Texas, has gotten into politics
to some extent But 1t is as a hog
raiser that Mr.. Dooley has reflected
greatest glory upon his native county.
The following from the Hillsboro Ev-
ening Mirror shows what the man
from Maury has been able to do, even
in Texas:
A Big Hog Killed! !
Mr.. w. P. Dooleyr, the efhcient ans
genial assessor and collector for the
CITY of Hillsboro, had a genuine hog
killing last Thursday, having slaugh-
tered a porker almost too heavy to
he weighed. After the animal was
dressed an effort was made to weigh
IT on the scales at the meat market
of CockreIl & Keeton, but the weight
exceeded their drawing capacity OF
$50 pounds. Mr.. Cockrell stated 1t TO
be his opinion that the net weight
was fully 500 pounds. Mr.. Dooley Sc
cured from the killing 1S5 pounds OF
lard and As pounds of sausage besides
having the.t, hams, shoulders, back
bones, spare ribs, etc, left over. He
estimates that by selling the meat at
twelve and one-half cents a pound he
could have realized $62.5o, and says 1t
cost him about 25 to raise and fatten
the hog.

PROF. L. S. DUKE is TRANS
FERRED TO THE ATHE-
NAEUM.
BRINGS PUPILS WITH HIM
New Teacher viii - Employed For
Observation-Disclosures Harris
Relieved From Hearing Glasses
After First of Year.

When the joint county and city high
school opens it's doors after the Christ
mas holidays the faculty will have
been completed by the addition of one
teacher. 1t was announced today
that t he new instructor would be
Prof L. s. Duke, principal of the Nc
Dowell School.
When the plans were completed for
joint county and city high school it
was recognized that the increased at
tendance would necessitate a larger
faculty. Prof. Duke was the unan-
imous choice for the place, but some
negotiations were necessary before he
could obtain his release from McDow-
ell school, where he had been engaged
for the term.
Under the present arrangement
Prof. Duke will open Mcdowell school
on January 3rd, and on the following
day will take charge of his work at
the High school He will bring with
him to the High school his advanced
pupils, about twenty in number.
1t will be necessary to employ an
additional teacher at Mcdowell school,
but the selection has not yet been
made. Prof. Harris, superintendent
of the city schools, will not be re-
quired to hear classes after the first
of the year, but will devote his entire
time to the work of supervision
The faculty at the High school after
January 1st will be as follows: Prof.
w. P. Morton, principal; Prof. L. S.
Duke, Miss Inez Kelley and Mrs
Mitchell.
Pupils of the city schools will be
granted holidays from next Thursday
until January 4th.

ALA. DEMOCRATS

FOR NOMINATION OF A CAN
plDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

BIRMINGHAM Ala, Dec. 2l.--
State Chairman Frank S. White2today
issued call for the State Democratic
Executive Committee to meet in Mont
gomery on Jan. "a, for the purpose OF
arranging for the coming State pri-
mary election.
i Capt. White clearly intimated that
he favors a late primary and a uni
form one In all counties, to be held,
say early in August. A. general dis
position for this course seems to. pre-
vail, although there is a strong ele-
ment favoring. an early primary.
The first.named plan bids fair to be
the one ordered, it now seems. A
feature of the primary will no doubt
be one for the nomination of a sue
cessor ia. Senator Bankhead. As yet
there are no open aspirants against
Mr.. Bankhead.
The Gubernatorial situation has to
an extent been simplified by formal
destinations to run. on the part OF SEN
ator spragins and Senator Frank
Moody. It is declared today to be
certain that Charles Henderson, OF
Troy, will enter, and it is further
stated that former Congressman Jesse
Stallings, and Peyton G. Bowman Will
conduct the Emmett O'Neil campaign.
The more strenuous of anti-amendfsts
seem to be lining up for O'Neil.

me, on the first Thursday in next

Manifested in the Induction into once

d,tiou is due to the fact that 1t is gen.
orally conceded that all of the present
oHcers will succeed themselves.
There seems no reason to doubt
that City Marshal Morgan Will get
another term. He was appointed Dy
Mayor Biddle and nothing has oc-
curred to indicate that the Mayor has
experienced any change of attitude TO-
ward hi msince he was named. 1t Is
certain that any nomination that the
Mavor will make will be confirmed by
the BOARD. although three members OF
the new Board voted against the most
Mayor in his first administration.
# is taken for granted that CITY
uea,th officer Dake Biddle will also
get another term. And the same Is
true of the City Attorney, j. Shelby

than three months ago to fill out the
uneypired term of City Attorney

term of two years at the next meeting

The term of Recorder Erwin does
not expire for year yet However,
if it sS9ired at this time there would
moi &c., question about his re-elec-
tion. And if he is a candidate year
from now he will be reelected. Judge
Erwin has held the Office for twenty
wears and it is no reflection upon the
Others TO saw that he is more familiar
with the affairs of the city government
than any man connected with It.
Should he not be a candidate II Is
quite likely that his son, the present

bilities.

Charred and Discarded, II Brought
Wealth to a Poor Widow.
Some years ago a poor,widow kept a
small shop in a Berlin suburb. One
evening as she was serving a customer
workingman stepped into the shop
and asked permission to light his pipe.
Drawing a piece of paper from his
pocket, he twisted 1t up and, after
lighting his pipe. threw down the spill
and walked off with word Of thanks
When sweeping the floor the follow
ing morning the widow took up the
charred paper out of idle curiosity and,
unfolding it, saw that 1t was lottery
ticket, only a portion of which had
been burned She folded it up, put it
away in her pocket and had almost
forgotten 1t, when the result of a large
lottery drawing caught her eye in the
paper.
She then remembered the crumbled
ticket in her pocket. and on producing
it found, to her amazement and de-
light, that 1t had won a prize of $780,
900. She claimed the prize. and, al
though she advertised widely for it's
original owner. with the intention Of
sharing 1t with him. she was left in
undisturbed possession Of her fortune.
