Ncgafl0n Repupiicans nave sent
their men into Oklahoma to tell the
story OF statehood. viewed from the
officeseeking pedestal OF woe.
II is apparent the Republicans IN

onel Roosevelt has enjoyed seeming

through the states. assailing all mat

He has iterated no new doctrine
No old doctrine In reiteration has
been reclothed.
No preachment he has uttered rose

theme has attained even the public

But, in proclaiming himself an apos-
tie against corruption in either high

present and past. Zoroaster taught
the same on the sands of Persia ages
since: lmelochar thundered the doc

throughout the ages men of sound
morals have made the same preach

by Colonel Roosevelt, Admitting that
Colonel Roosevelt is a strong. sound
citizen, what right, yea, by what au-

mankind and allowed TO aDrogate

works Of the ages?

BIG HORSE SALE
FOR THIS COUNTY
IS VERY PROBABLE
COMBINATION EVENTS OF THE
PAST MAY BE RE-
VlVED.
IF HORSEMEN WILL COOPERATE
John p. McGaw is Behind the Move
ment and Expects to Make II a Go.
Last Sale Held Here Was in 1901.
Three Hundred Horses.

Probably the best news that Maury
county horsemen have heard in a long
time Is that the combination sales, fol
which this city was one time famous
will very likely be revived.
John p McGaw, former manager OF
the Maury County Fair, and one of the
most public spirited and enterprising
of local horsemen, is behind the en-
terprise and is working for its success.
Mr.. McGaw is very enthusiastic, and
says with the proper encouragement
the big sale is a sure go.
Discussing the proposition today
Mr.. McGaw said:
Il am now working for the re-estab-
lishment here of the big annual COM
bination sale of horses, and with the
proper encouragement from Maury
county horsemen am sure of achieving
success.
For twenty years the Tennessee
Selling Agency conducted these sales,
and they beacme an annual feature Of
interest," both in the south and north.
AS many as three hundred horses
have been sold at one of these sales,
the buyers coming from all parts of
the United States. The last sale was
held in 1901 by the late B. S. Thomas
and myself
THE fame of Maury county horses
is such that with the proper advertis-
ing, the sale is bound to be a great
and is now my intention, to advertise
in many Of the big magazines, as well
as in stock papers and the Tennessee
dailies. A splendid catalogue will be
gotten out and there will be no trouble
in getting buyers. Horse flesh was
never in more demand than now, and
with all of Maury county to draw from
several hundred fine animals should |
be listed One breeder has already |
promised to list twenty-five good ones,
and with a little more support there
will be no trouble in putting the sale
on a substantial footing and making it
q big annual event, as in the days of
the past.
THE sale will be held in April,
about the second week, if at all. All
that is necessary is the cooperation of
the horsemen There viii be no trou-
BILE in getting suitable grounds, and in
arranging all the other details"
Local horsemen recall the magnif-
cent sales formerly held here, and the
big advantage they were to breeders.
There is but little doubt but that they
will rally to Mr.. McGaw's assistance,
ind If they do sale that will attract
he attention of horsemen all over the
will be held.

POPULAR GROCERY FIRM ADDS

Another evidence of the progress

putting in of quick auto delivery by
the E. w. Gamble Grocery Company.
Some time ago this firm installed one
machine for quick orders and today
they started another, beautiful little
delivery car. The new car is an up
to date model delivery auto, the kind
that are seen in large cities. This
well known firm will make speciality
of quick delivery; they are going to ca
ter to that characteristic of the hu-
