CENTREVILLE, Tenn, June l.
The American Agricultural Chemical
Company, of New York, has closed
deal with DR.. ]. V. Thompson, of
Centreville, for a tract of valuable
phosphate lands. The property is
known as the shipp and Stuart farms
and lies in the Grays Bend section,
three miles from Centreville. This
section contains some of the largest
phosphate deposits in the county, but
has not been mined to any great ex-
tent. The purchase of this land is
believed here to be a revival in the
phosphate mining industry here. The
American Agricultural Company owns
other large tracts in Hickman county
and is operating a mine at Blue Buck

EDWARD P. TURNER
ACQUIRES INTEREST IN
MAURY DRY GOODS CO.
POPULAR GROCER TO BECOME A
MEMBER OF THAT FIRM
IN JULY.
LONG EXPERIENCE IN BUSINESS
For More Than Fifteen Years He Di-
rected the Dry Goods and Carpet
Department-Has a Wide Acquain-
lance and Numerous Friends.

Edward P. Turner, who will on July
l retire from the grocery business has
accepted partnership in the depart
ment store of the Maury Dry Goods
Company and soon after July l when
he discontinues the grocery business
he will become an active member Of
the firm operating the store. il is
probable that by the middle of July
Mr.. Turner will be regularly install
ed in his new business home.
This announcement will be of much
interest in local business circles and
in fact all over the county. Mr.. Tur-
ner has been in the mercantile husi-
ness in Columbia for the past twenty
years and has an extensive acquaint-
ance in all sections of the county,
numbering his friends by the hun
dreds. For fifteen years he was &C
lively engaged in the dry goods and
business and therefore his return to
that business is like going back to
ones first love.
There are few better statesmen or
better all around business men in the
community than Mr.. Turner. Capa-
BILE, obliging courteous, the soul of
honor, he has drawn around him as
devoted friends as it was ever the
good fortune of a business man in
this community to possess. Members
of the firm of Maury Dry Goods Com
pany are being congratulated upon ac-
curing so valuable an addition to the
firm.
In his new connection Mr. Turner
will have an even better opportunity
than he has had to demonstrate his
ability. The Maury Dry Goods Com
pany is one of the leading mercantile
business establishments of the coun-
ty, already enjoying a magnificent
prestige and a splendid trade. This
latest stroke of enterprise is typical
| of the Messrs. Wooten, who always
strive to keep to the fore in all pro
gressive mercantile movements.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Turner'S
present place of business will be occu-
pied by the Live and Let Live Drug
Company, who will on July Is install
handsome and complete drug store
there.
