The idea of erecting a home for
orphans originated when a devout
christian man died and soon there
after his widow also died, leaving
three little homeless orphans. The
situation was pathetic and showed
the great need of home to care for
and train such unfortunates, so it
was decided to make an effort to
build on a small scale a home where
little orphan children could have
proper care, home influences, be edu-

VERY LIGHT VOTE
WILL Be POLLED
IN THE PRIMARY
BUT LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN
IN RESULT OF JUDICIAL
CONTESTS.
REPORTS FROM over CIRCUIT
All the Candidates Express Great
Confidence and Indications Point
to Very Close Raee-Not Much
Excitement in Maury.

Reports from over the Circuit con-
firm the belief of local politicians that
light vote will be polled Saturday
in the Judicial primary. Not only in
Maury county is the lack of interest
noticeable, but in Giles, Hickman and
other counties as well The cam
paign has not been of a strenuous or
der, and the voting enthusiasm has
not been worked up. The lack of is
sues, the absence of the element of
personal bitterness, have all contrib
uted toward the general apathy ap-
parent throughout the Circuit.
At come places there a few persons
who are intensely interested, but to
take the Circuit as a whole there is
an Indifference to results that is
marked. In many places the cleo
ton has attracted SO little attention
that some of the voters have almost
forgotten the date on which it is to
be held.
Locally, no campaign of recent
years has been so little discussed. II
there are any strong partisans around
they have had very little to say. There
has been dearth Of log rolling and
electioneering. That Judge w. B.
Turner will carry the county by a hand
some majority is generally conceded.
Opinion is divided as to which Of the
for attorney general will
get the heavy end of the vote
All of the candidates are supreme
~ confident. fact which warrants
the belief that the race will be close,
and that just at present 1t is uncer-
ain.

1t will be recalled that Rev. Geo.

Board of Charities, submitted a re-
port to the Board severely censur-
ing Maury county for maintaining a
county asylum of the nature Of the
present one. Following this report,
the asylum was visited by DR.. AndeT-
son and Rabbi Lewinthal, of Nash
vile, who endorsed the findings of DR..
Mack, and united in denounceing the
maintenance Of such an institution by
the rich county of Maury. The Quar-
terly County Court then took Official

HUGE ENDOWMENT
FOR GEORGE PEABODY
COLLEGE IN SIGHT
TRUSTEE BOWMAN SAYS THAT
TEN MILLION MAY BE
GIVEN.
VISITS EUGENE TAVENNAR HERE
Thinks That School viii Be Located
Near vanderbllt-old Site May Be
Used by Consolidated Medical
Schools Of Nashville.

Stuart H. Bowman, a wealthy mine
owner and philanthropist of Hunting
don, W. Va, and a member of the
Board of Trustees of George Peabody
College for teachers, recently named
at Washington, is in Columbia, the
guest Of Eugene Tavennar, of Nash
vile, who is here visiting relatives.
Mr.. Bowman attended the meeting
of the Board of Trustees held at Nash
vile Wednesday, at which it was an
nounced that Peabody College would
remain on it's present site for one
year Talking of the final location of
the school Mr. Bowman said:
While l do not speak officially, the
Board having taken no definite action,
am of the opinion that George Pea
body College for Teachers will event
ually be located near Vanderbilt cam
pus. The two schools will be sepa-
rate and distinct but will cooperate
in some details. / believe that a total
endowment of $1O,O0OOOO for the two
schools will be available within a
few years."
Mr. Bowman would not say just
where the big endowment would come
from, but he intimated that a number
of capitalists had signified an tnten-
ton of giving literally to the cause
of Southern Education. The two
schools already have a large endow-
ment, running well up into the mil
lions.
Regarding the disposition Of the |
present Peabody site, Mr.. Bowman
said that plan was on foot for the
of all the medical col
leges of Nashville, including the med
ical department of Vanderbilt, and
that if this was done the present Pea
body site would probably be used as
The site for the consolidated schools.
Mr.. Bowman was very optimistic
the future of the big ed
Icational institutions of Nashville
md was of the opinion that they
would receive heavy endowments, and
would become the greatest educa-
ional institutions in the entire South.

Tennessee Orphan Home

some have been turned away for lacl
of room
The requirements for a more ex
tensive building together with the
expense of beginning so early to
maintain the present number in q
rented house makes it necessary for
this appeal for assistance to be made
beyond the home circle, so all who
may be interested in providing for lit.
tie homeless children may have an Cd.
portunity Of taking part in this work,
but in no event is help wanted that
does not come from a willing heart.
The home people generally have
been exceedingly liberal, but admis-
sion to this orphan home will not be
confined or limited to any section and
as heretofore, children will be receiv-
ed from everywhere, so for that
reason the liberty is taken of laying
the matter of helping in the work be-
fore all who may desire to take part.
No rule has been adopted for an
age limit for admission, but it is gen.
orally believed that this Home should
provide for children under twelve
years of age, and as soon as they can
be pushed through school so they can
work their way in other homes and
schools to complete their education
and prepare them for life's work they
will be located wherever the best
advantages may be offered.
This home is not intended to bur-
den, but to bless. Everyone who
takes part will bestow great blessings

The Boys Make Good.

The Buffalogap band made its first ap-
pearance in public last Monday and
bowed itself famous, locally, from the
start. To say that the citizens of the
town were surprised, would be putting
it very mildly, for those who had not
kept themselves posted on the progress
of the band, had no idea they would be
able to give so good an account of them
selves on their initial appearance. The
boys formed in line of march at the
Henne hall and marched through the
business part Of the town to the audi
torium, stopping at several points en-
route to render selections. At the audi
torium they took a prominent part in
the Memorial Day program. One of the
pleasing events of the day, was the
thoughtfulness of the band boys in
marching to Judge Palmer's house and
playing several patriotic selections at
his front door. Mr.. Palmer was confin-
ed to his home and appreciated the mu-
sic and the boys thoughtfulness more
than one can tell. An open air concert
was given in the evening and practically
every body in Buffalogap was present.
The boys were showered with applause
and congratulations and they disband-
ed that night feeling very we'll repaid
for the long tedious hours of practice
it had taken, to attain so high a degree
of proficiency cy.-Gazette.

An Ideal Spot for q Summer Outing.

Mrs. M. A. Groesbeck of Lansing,
Iowa, formerly a resident of Spesrfish,
made trip through the Southern Hills
last summer; afterward writing to the
Spearfish Mail, describing various points
of interest. She thus describes Sylvan
Lake:
81 thought had seen some of the
wonderful and beautiful views in South
Dakota and Minnesota, but have never
seen anything just like this. God con-
structed these wonderful castles, towers,
cathedrals, of solid rock. He also made
the mountain spring from which this
body Of water is fed, and he put into the
mind of man to build dam connecting
one towering boulder with another, to
control the water from these springs,
forming fall of about 70 feet and send
ing the stream racing its way down
through a wonderful gorge. Sylvan
Lake covers 20 acres, is from 40 to so
feet deep, is full of fish, and there is
fine hotel with all modern improve
ments. l recommend Sylvan Lake as
an ideal spot for your summers out

he is an angel, in his boyhood he is a

he is a fool. If he raises small check
he is thief and then the law raises the
devil with him. If he Is a poor man he

he is a sinner and is damned. If he
donates to foreign missions he does it

everyone wants to kiss him, but before
