GRAND STREET PAVING :: y; =
JOB IS q KN0CKE(r1

Christmas is coming sometime
again, and the Grand street paving
job will be finished in the sweet bye
and bye.
This and kindred expressions are
heard every day by irate residents
OF the Mantle section. The work of
paving the street could only be
equaled in irritating features by the
street car service, as it was before
the double track was in operation
and the new cars had arrived.
Most progressive contractors go
at big job like that somewhat
differently They have enough crews
to complete the street as they go
along, one crew clearing and level
ing it. another laying the rock foun-
dation and still another putting on
the oil and the finishing touches

time for purchase of winter fuel,
with summer rates, but nobody in
Mantle can do it. because the teams
cannot reach them.
To begin with, Lilienthal did not
have parts of the street on an II
inch level, as agreed upon. A prop
erty holder found that there was
only six inch level, and he forced
them to level it off properly.
Mantle boulevard people have
formally stated that they do not
want Lilienthal to handle their paw
ing job. and Grand street residents
are kicking themselves now to think
that they didn't enter a protest. But
it is probable that they will be
heard from before the long drawn
out paving job is completed.

THE BIGGEST EVER SEEN HERE
Grew Forty Bushels On Sixteenth Of

Pounds Eaeh-Exibited On Public
Square in Columbia.

| The gentle art of making two dol
lars to grow where only one grew be-
fore is not the only accomplishment
of ]. l.. Hutton, president of the
Phoenix Nationall Bank, and one of
Columbia's captains of finance. Mr..
Hutton has lapsed into a new role,
that of the successful agricuIturist,
and unlike DR.. Cook, has the goods
to show that he has made a few dis
coveries.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Hutton ex-
hibited upon the public square the
finest wagon load of turnips ever
seen in this city of many magnificent
achievements The turnips were of
almost uniform size and weighed
from five to five and one-half pounds
each. Just few dozen would fill
wagon bed of ordinary proportions,
while only two or three would heap
a half-bushel to Biblical measure
The turnips were grown upon what is
known as the j. S. Green farm, which
Mr.. Hutton purchased recently, and
were cultivated by Mr.. Green. They
were brought to town by NJ B. Derry
berry, who teok pardonable pride in
relating how small plot OF ground
was necessary to grow rne full forty
bushels.
There was not more than one
sixteenth of an acre planted and forty |
bushels Of turnips we're harvested" /
said Mr.. Derryberry, and Mr.. Hutton I
admitted that the statement was cor
rect,
Mr. Hutton is firm believer in
the cost of living by in
creasing the output OF the farms, and
thinks that with the example already
set Maury county can be depended
