MERCHANT TO GIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS
PROPOSITION MADE AT BOARD
OF TRADE MEETING TUES
DAY Is GOOD.

A Columbia merchant who attended
the Board of Trade meeting Tuesday
night stated this morning that things
were discussed there at that meeting
that sounded good to him and that he
would be one of any number who
would give $1OO toward furthering the
projects.
This merchant had reference to-the
establishment Of railroad shops In
Columbia. He had not been attnding
these meetings and did not know
what the Board of Trade was tying
to do, and when he heard and saw
the interest that was manifested
there at the meeting he became enthu-
siastic himself and pledges himself to
give 500. He is not a large mer.
chant, only doing nice business on
a small scale, but can see the benefit
it would be to his business to have
such an enterprise here and is will
ling to give of that which he tas.
The Herald withholds the mer-
chants name not knowing whether or
not he would like to have his pane
published at present, but upon sppli-
cation the name will be furnished.
The tenor Of this note sounds good
to those who have been struggling for
the past twelve months to do some
thing for the town and county, and
the board Of directors will gladly well
come more such enthusiastic men.

COUNTRY PUTTING ON
THE APPEARANCE
OF MIDDLE APRIL
WEATHER FOR PAST FEW DAYS
HAS BEEN UNPRECEDENTED
FOR THE SEASON.
PASTURES ARE LOOKING FlNt
Plows Are Turning Soil for Dat and
Corn crops-Many Trees In Bud and
Plum Trees In Full Bloom--.After
Effects Are Feared.

Weather for the past few days has
been almost unprecedented for the
month of February and the result has
been that vegetation has advanced to
point never before known for the
season. The plum trees are In full
bloom, the naples are going from bud
into leaf. the lilacs are budding and
the blue grass pastures are literally
moving up to the stock.
This weather is all very well In Its
way and the people and cattle are
enjoying 1t, but the fear is expressed
that the unreasonable days must
have their compensation later 10 the
spring and apprehension for all Of
the fruits and for many OF the young
trees is felt And the same thing is
true Of the wheat. That cereal has
been moving on with the warm wealth
er but it may get back set during a
freeze that will leave it In much
worse condition than 1t was before
the warm weather.
Farmers are busy all over Maury
county today. Everywhere plows are
running. The beautiful weather OF
the past two days has dried out the
land so that it is In fine shape for
turning and there are hundreds and
hundreds Of plows getting the soil in
shape for the corn and oats crops.
Stock Of all kinds look fine. They
have felt the benefcent effects of the
weather. The cattle and sheep es
pecially are growing rapidly for the
grazing is unusually good. Glover
crops are further advanced than ev
er known before. In fact the
whole country is rapidly putting on
a middle of April appearance There
has been no real cold weather since
the first Of the year and the winter
has been practically free from exces
sive cold
