become one Of the greatest Hour pro-
ducing cities of the entire South.
Local dealers have invaded foreign
territory to the extent that they are
buying wheat from Brentwood. right

and are going as far south as Pros
pect, several miles below Pulaski.
They are also getting the bulk Of the
business in all adjacent territory bor-
dering on the N. G. q St l. Railway.
Several counties, the center Of the
great Tennessee wheat belt, are pour
ing the cereal into Columbia in guam
titles.
Shipments Of wheat to Columbia are
now reaching as high as thirty cars
a day, which is in addition to the
heavy wagon trade. And needless TO
say, the wagon deliveries are unusu-
ally heavy, the bumper crop of this
year causing heavy marketing.
The City Mill & Grain Company is
running night and day and the Colum-
bia Mill & Elevator Company is pre-
pairing to follow the same example.
Ashton's Mills are exceedingly busy
and are receiving large quantities of
grain
The local dealers are also buying

many car lot shipments. AS a grain
market Columbia Is forging far 20 the
front. both az to volume of business
and the prices patd.

The Temperate Man

Who is the temperate man? Is
1t he who cannot take glass of
beer without a desire to swallow
a distillery or by treating to induce
his friends to become insane with
him by oyer-indulgence of intoxi-
cants, and because this misuse of
beer is a detriment to his health he
wants his fellowman who knows
how to use it to quit it also. He
wants to make dry town out Of
his community. Such man is
crank, a fanatic pure and simple,
who has followed in the wake of a
few dyspeptic drinkers that have
become dyspeptic by over-indul-
gence by this method of over-treat-
ing and OVERRIDING what might be
q godsend to sensible humanity.

suitable presents. A gift, like a
friend, should be carefully chosen.
Yet man is so hard to please,
and his wants are so vague, that
woman is greatly restricted in her
selection of gift.
Do not give commonplace things
or things that are of no practical
value. Above all, avoid giving
presents of wearing apparel, such
as neckties, vests, shirts, fancy
handkerchiefs, scarfs, colOred hose
and other like articles. A woman
knows as little abouot selecting a
suitable tie for man as man
knows about choosing a petticoat
for a woman. Such gifts are shot
with good intentions, but rarely hit
the mark.

or tobacco, he may not like the
brands you buy. Men are fussy
about such things and usually their

Neckties, while they may be an ar
tistic success from the woman's
point of view, may be a nightmare
to a man. If there is one thing
man wants to do himself it is to
select his own neckties.
Do not give shirts, vests Or col
lars, for in these things the man
wants to exercise his own tastes in
selection.
Do not give pictures: his and
your tastes may be different.
Do not give a safety razor to a
man unless he has expressed a
wish to have one.

PUGH FORCED TO
GIVE PRISONERS A
CHRISTMAS FEAST

While Sister Flora M. Bilkiss Is
cut off from serving her dinner to
the prisoners in the Spokane coun-
ty Jail through an order of Sheriff
Pugh, she feels that her mission in
this respect has been crowned with
success, as the sheriff has any
nounced that he has arranged to
give the prisoners a chicken dinner
for Christmas.
Last Thursday, Sister Bilkiss
says, she called at the jail and that
Head Jailer Bigelow told her that
no arrangements had been made for
anything extra for the men behind
the bars on Christmas day. The
reason Sister Bilkiss, started into
this matter was that the prisoners
had not been given anything extra
