One Of the Most Profitable Seasons

farmers and generally a disastrous
one for the shippers closed today.
Maury county has established a new
record in Christmas turkeys. Both in

In the aggregate sums paid for them

However, due to the active bidding
among the dealers the profits of the

shipments they actually lost.
Losses on the part Of the shippers
were due to the demoralized condi-

for the favorable weather a much
greater loss would have been sustain

city was very much congested with
the holiday fowls. But the weather
being cold rendered immediate sales

It is a conservative estimate to say
that there were 10000 turkeys ship
ped from Columbia for the Christ
mas trade. At one time William Bar
ker, the leading produce dealer, had
1900 hanging in his house. The 10000
turkeys shipped from Columbia aver
aged the farmers about $3.50, the av-
erage price paid to the raisers being
fifteen cents. This means that there
was distribute damong the farmers Of
the county over $4,000. In addition
it is safe to say that other dealers in
the county shipped $4,000 worth of
the fowls making this little by pro-
duct of the farmer worth 100000 just
for the Christmas trade alone.
To haul 10000 turkeys it requires
twenty cars. This is a good train
load. Add to it the four cars shipped
rom other points and it gives an ex-
long and heavy train. The
turkey business grows every year in
his county. Most of this money goes

What is generally pronounced the
most profitable Christmas trade that
the Columbia merchants have known
closed this afternoon. There will be
a few belated town purchasers to
make purchases tonight and most Of
the stores will remain open for their
accommodation until a late hour, per-
haps until midnight. but the country
trade ended this afternoon when hun
dreds of people left the city loaded
down with Santa Claus packages.
A large majority of the merchants,
especially those who use the columns
of The Herald, declared that the bus

mas surpassed any within the decade.
The people bought literally and they
commenced buying early 80 that the
few days Of bad weather did not ma
terially cut into the trade. The pur-

quality OF merchandise. The cheap
goods that were so profitable few
years ago no longer find so ready
sale at the holiday season.
The merchants have had exception |
ly large and attractive stocks this
year from which to make selections
and this has unquestionably largely

opinion that the stores have been
more attractive and the windows have
