REX DONOVAN
AT LAKEWOOD
MAGNIFICENT COMBINED KEN
+ lucky STALLION BROUGHT
TO MAURY.

Rex Donovan, the magnificent COM
bined Kentucky stallion. purchased a
few days snice by Mr.. A. B. Harlan,
has arrived and is now installed at
lakewood Farm, where he will make
the coming season. The year 1909
has been notably in the increase OF
the breeding interests in Maury coun'
ty and the arrival of this handsome
and richly bred horse adds another to
that galaxy OF magnificent sires now
to be found in this county
BY the great Rex Mcdonald, cham
pion over all saddle sires, sire OF over
$50 champions in the show rings OF
the nation, and tracing back on MS
dams side to the great Indian Chief
and Joe Dowing, no stallion more
richly bred ever left the bounds OF
his native state. But Rex Donovan
not only possesses rich blood, but
shows it, AS an individual he is fault
less. A red dappled bay with black
points, 1873 hands, head and tail up
he looks a very king, and his owner is
very justly proud.
Rex Donovan goes Eve distinct SAD
die gaits, and under harness trots
square with high, bold action. Crossed
ON Maury county mares he will make
his impress in the show rings and SAFE
marts in the years to come.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April g.
When the information Bureau of the
Middle Tennessee Educational Asso-
citation, in the Fogg High School,
closed at 9 o'clock last night, as many
as 400 of the teachers and friends or
education from all portions of the
state had registered their arrival in
Nashville to attend the second annual
session of the organization, and the
convention will last from today
through Saturday. The greater bulk
of the delegates are expected to ar
rive this morning and during the after
noon.
The local educators who have the
arrangements for the convention In
hand state that all is In readiness for
the opening session at the Vendome
theatre this morning at 1880 o'clock.
They are optimistic regarding the sue
cess of the convention, which gives
every promise Of being most sat
isfactory in every detail. The num-
Der of visitors Is variously estimated
at from 1000 to 1900 though the high
err figure is considered to be very con-
servative.
While the majority of the delegates
will be from Middle Tennessee, the
convention is attracting the attention
of educators in other portions OF the
state and in neighboring common
wealths. Parties from Memphis and
from Kentucky were reported to be IN
Nashville last night for the purpose
OF attending the meetings, and 1t may
be that there will be numerous others
arriving today.
Among the distinguished visitors to
arrive Wednesday afternoon were DR..
R. N. Snyder, president OF Wofford
College, South Carolina, and Presi-
dent P. l.. Harmed, of GAINESVILLE. DR..
Snyder arrived Wednesday afternoon
and was taken to the home of DIR. Hill,
whose guest he will be during his stay.
DR.. Snyder is a graduate of Wander
bilt University, and numbers his
friends here by the score. He VIII
deliver a lecture Friday evening at
o'clock on Sydney Lanier."
Upon his arrival President Harmed
arranged for the opening of headquar-
tiers at the Tulane Hotel The infor-
nation bureau will remain at the Fogg
High School building. To the latter
place the visitors will be conducted
from the trains. and assigned lodging
places and given badges and neces-
sary information. Prof. J. II. Patter-
son. of Howard School, assisted by an
able corps of pupils and others, is IN
charge of the information bureau.
Special interest is being taken In
the convention this year by teachers
and others because of the general
wave and freshened interest taken in
educational matters by all classes OF
people over the state within the past
Twelve months. The association flls

MAURY TEACHERS
OFF FOR NASHVILLE
TO ATTEND MEETING
ABOUT FIFTY PEoAeoouEs JOUR-
NEY TO THE CAPITAL
CITY.
YOUNG AMERICA GETS HOLIDAY
School Doesn't Keep Until Next
Monday.-Interestlns Program viii
BE Carried Out And Good Address
es Made.

Owing to the meeting of the Middle
Tennessee Educational association in
Nashville today Maury county is al
most depopulated of public school
teachers. About fifty OF the peda-
gogues went up to the capital city
either Wednesday or today, and prac-
tlcally all of them will remain over I'M
til after the Saturday morning session.
Not only the teachers in the city
school but many from the rural dis
trict as well joined the hegira to
Nashville. Every teacher in the coun-
ty had been granted two days holiday,
with pay, by the county school au-
thorities, as it was realized that the
meeting was one of great importance.
Last year Maury county had about
40 teachers at the meeting, which
proved profitable. Sumner county is
said to be the only county in the state
that is backward about sending teach
ers to these meetings.
On account of the absence OF the
teachers the public schools are closed
until Monday. Young America took
it's books home at the expiration OF
Wednesdays school hours ana won't
bring them back again this week. AS
consequence there is much JOY
among the small fry and many little
heels are being kicked high in festive
glee, as the youngsters scamper about
over the green grass or enjoy them
selves in the thousand ways known
to childhood.
Among the teachers attending the
meeting were Superintendent OF In
struction Graham, of Culleoka, and
Professors Morton, Duke and Journey
of the city schools, and Principal Bos-
tick. All the teachers from McDowtll
school took the trip.

HAS MORGANATIC WIFE OF HEIR

WITH HIMSELF AND CROWN
PRINCESSE OF PRUSSIA.

Berlin, Nov 17.-Old fashioned
German court circles are scan al-
lied and astonished at the unusual
honor paid by Kaiser Wilhelm last
night to the Duchess of Hohenberg
morganatic wife of Franz Ferdinand
heir to the throne of Austria The
immemorial custom on such occasions
has been that morganatic wives can
not rank equally with princesses OF
the royal blood
The kaiser for the first time broke
the tradition of the house of Hohen-
zollern, sitting with the Duchess OF
Hohenberg at. his right and his own
sister, the Crown Princess of Greece
at his left. Thus the kaiser practic.
ally recognized the duchess as OF
equal standing with his own sister.
Count Gutenberg, who was master
of ceremonies. had arranged that nc
princesses of the blood royal were tC
be present, but the kaiser overruled
the arrangements and insisted on the
Crown Princess of Greece and the
Crown Princess of Germany beins
present.

practically every apple grower who

Packing of the box is said to be next

part fthe country. There are plenty
of apples piled on the table in the
