Out of the City Buyers Here.

For the purpose Of organizing q
butter and egg board for Middle Ten.
nessee a preliminary meeting of the
produce dealers of this section was
held at the Phoenix National Bank
Wednesday. After an informal dis
cussion it was agreed that an ex.
change should be organized, and an.
other meeting will be held at Lewis
burg on December IA, at which time
an organization will be perfected. Ev.
cry produce dealer in Middle Tonnes
see will be invited to the meeting.
The desirability of having butter
and egg board for Middle Tennessee
is apparent to every dealer In, this
section. In the first place through
cooperation tbs market Tor the deal
ers can be enlarged. Better shipping
facilities can be secured and many
other results achieved that would not
be possible unless there was an organ
lzSQ eHOrC maze.
The proposed organization will be
along the lines of the fruit exchanges
of the west and the vegetable organi-
cations of the South. Where the pro-
duce men and the growers have organ
lied the exchanges they have found
them to be very profitable. Business
has increased and better results have
been secured in more ways than one.
There was a good attendance this
but an effort will be made
to secure much larger one at the
next meeting on December IA. Among
those here today were Fagin Booth,
Pulaski; Hardison, of the Lynnyille
Produce Company; Parks Bros, Cul-
leoka; A. B. Winford, of Lewisburg;
J. w. Hardin, of Fayetteville, and the
local dealers.

EGGS SOMEWHAT
LOWER In PRICE
COLD STORAGE STOCK TURNED
Loose EARLIER THAN UsU.
Al is CAUSE.

Fresh eggs are rather scarce In the
local market, and are difficult to OBJ
tain, but cold storage eggs are plenti-
full, and the price is lower than It
was, one produce firm paying only 26
cents a dozen for this kind, a drop Of
three cents. These eggs are put into
storage in April and May. 1t is said
that the best eggs laid by hens dur
ing the year are those Of the spring.
Considerable complaint has been
heard during the fall season Of the
scarcity of fresh eggs. and this has
been attributed by some to the fact
that the early cool weather which
continued longer and was more Sc
we're than usual was the causee which
prevented the hens laying as prolif-
ically as was expected.
1t seems that some of the cold stor-
age egg dealers have turned their
stock upon the market earlier than
usual this season, as they generally
wait until nearer the Christmas sea-
SON.
Fresh eggs are a little lower In
price and one grocer 10 paying 26
cents today, drop Of two cents.
Fresh eggs retail for 35 cents dozen.

day. The attorneys for the derense
stoutly resisted the effort of the State
&c admit this declaration and argu-

Is considered one of the vital steps
In the hearing Of evidence in this

The principal witnesses this morn

time of the killing. The testimony
Of the daughters did not bring out
anything of great importance in addi-

OF the witnesses as to the distance Of

Aso-Prospects Not Bright for
Profits for Heavy Buyers.
TUESDAYS DaiIy.l

According to reports this morning
today is hog killing day in Column
bia. and perhaps in most portions
Of the county, this being due to the
fact that people who fatten pork are
taking advantage of the present cold
wave to do their butchering.
Killing Smaller Hogs.
The larger hogs will not be killed
today but many of the smaller ones
will be. The price has fallen about a
cent and a half a pound during the
past month, and many who bought
heavily may stand to lose considera-
bly,, or at least not to make large
profit.
hog Killing Weather.
The present brand of weather is
very favorable to hog killing, and it
is said that people are killing today
in all portions of the county, and It
seems that but very few have taken
advantage of the cold waves which
preceded this, in order to do their hog
butchering.
