IMPORTED JERSEY
CATTLE CONE TO
COUNTY Of MAURY
TEN HEAD ARE ACQUIRED BY
JOHN H. CARPENTER FOR
DAIRY FARM.
BROWN HAS GREAT BULL CALF
George Campbell Brown Returns
From Island of Jersey Where He
Bought a Descendant of the Far
Famed Vesta's Daisy.

Ten imported Jersey cattle direct
from the home of that breed, the Is
land of Jersey, will come to Maury
county and will be placed on the dali
ry farm of John H. Carpenter, on the
new Middle Tennessee Railroad in
the Western section of the county.
These cattle were recently purchased
on the Island of Jersey by George
Campbell Brown, who made a pur-
chase of forty-fve head for Tennessee
cattle men.
All of the cattle bought by Mr..
Brown were for other parties except
a yearling bull calf known as "Vesta's
Knight" This calf was sired by Gem
boge's Knight, bull sold at the Coop
er sale last, year for $4,000 At the
same time nine daughters of Gem
boge's knight sold at an average of
$1,700 each. The dam Of Vesta's
Knight is Vestas Daisy by Kilmar-
noch, a grandson of Golden Lad, out
Of Vesta First, granddaughter Of
Golden Lad. Vesta's Daisy was the
gold medal cow at the butter test
show last year, having made there
when sixty days in milk three pounds
and eleven and half ounces Of but
ter in twenty-four hours
She is said to have made at home
seven and half pounds of butter in
one and a half days milk. 1t will be
readily seen that the youngster with
such breeding Is one of the greatest
bulls ever brought to this country
and experts pronounce him to be o re-
markably fine individual. 1t Is not
known what disposition Mr.. Brown,
will make of the calf. He has re-
Gently sold his interest in the great
Ewell Farm herd to his brother Percy
Brown and it is thought likely that
he will sell this calf. The hope 10
expressed that he will be bought by
some Maury county farmer and Kept
in service in this county.
Mr.. Brown was very much impress
ed with what he saw during his
months stay on the Island of Jersey
but he is more than ever of the opinion
that this section is pre-eminently a
Jersey cattle country. He was con-
firmed in this view by observing the
country the soil, the climate and the
cattle of the famous little island. Mr..
Brown is now in Memphis where he
is Judging cattle at the Tri-State
Fair.

ALL TO GET
FORECASTS
WEATHER BUREAU MAKES Ar
RANGEMENTS FOR RURAL
DISTRICTS. =,

The United States weather bureau
has arranged with the local exchange
OF the Cumberland Telephone and
X Taph Company for the distribu-
TIN of the daily forecasts by tele-
phone to all subscribers who desire
it free. The subscribers only have to
call the operators of their respective
exchanges any time after ten o'clock
ana ask for the weather forecast.
This applies to all exchanges of the
Cumberland Telephone Company in
the county.
The forecast usually covers the pc
riod of twenty-four hours and is the
most prompt method of getting the
forecasts to the rural communities.
This will be of material and practi-
cal benefit to the subscribers in the
rural communities if they will only
take advantage of the opportunity,
and 1t places them in close connec-
tion with this sometimes invaluable
information as is the city dweiler,
ana the weather bureau is to be
commended for thus accommodating
The residents of the country dis
tricts.

MYSTERIOUS SHOT
KNOCKS OFF HAT
Of HERBERT vOSS
WEST END LOCALITY OF NEAR
TRAGEDY ON MONDAY
NIGHT.
CASL OF MISTAKIN ILENTITY
Two Holes in Hat, Ball Entering
From Right Side and From Rear
Piercing Both Sides, But Not Cut
Out on Either Side.

What came very near being trag
edy occurred in West End Monday
night between 1880 and 8 o'clock near
the Mitchell and Dortch corner.
Herbert Voss, who is employed at
the Maury Dry Goods Co., was on
his way home from the store and was
walking liesurely along the walk,
when without any warning of any
sort there was report of a pistol
and his hat fell to the ground. The
report was so unexpected that Young
Voss says he jumped and as his hat
was resting lightly on the back Of
his head he at first thought that caus-
ed 1t to fall off. He picked it up and
started to rub the dust off when his
hand or finger struck a hole on each
side, and he at once realized that he
had had very narrow escape from
serious if not fatal injury.
The hat is a derby and the shot
entered from the right and rear and
ranged upward, which he says con-
forms to his impression Of the direc-
tion Of the report. He saw no fash
and heard nothing but the report and
is as much mystified about the occur
renee as anyone. He says there was
only one shot fired and he saw no one
around, and he thinks that it was
either purely an accident that his
hat was struck or else the one who
did the shooting discovered VINO he
was and that it was a case of m!stak-
en- identity.
The place from which the shot is
supposed to have come is lot on
which there is at present growing
corn and high weeds and would be
an easy place for secretion.
Herbert Voss is one of the best
known and most poular young men in
Columbia and says that he knows of
no reason why anyone should desire
to do him injury and does not believe
that the shot was intended for him,
and that if it was intended for any
one it was a case Of mistaken iden-
tity as to him.
Sheriff Goodwin drove around out
there after the incident but saw
nothing of any individual or individu-
ais, and the entire affair is a mys-
terry, and most fortunate that Her
bert Voss was not injured

GRADE JERSEYS ARE
BEING SHIPPED AWAY
FROM MAURY COUNTY
BUYERS ARE HERE THIS WEEK
FROM STATES OF ILLINOS
AND INDIANA.
THREE CAR LOADS ARE SOL
Probable That. Before Season Is Over
Some Thirty Cars Will Go to These
Markets-Buyers Are Enthusiastic
over This Section

Northern buyers are making a big
raid on the grade Jersey cattle of
this county. During the present
week three cars of grade Jersey heif-
ers have been shipped to Illinois and
Indiana and it is quite probable that
other cars will be shipped before the
end of the week. John w. Shelton,
of the firm of Shelton and Sowell, has
been selling to two dealers this week,
Lutts Bros, Lutts Bros, of Paris, ILL.,,
and M. R. Greer, of Indiana.
The northern buyers declare that
Maury county has an exceptionally
fine animal in the grade Jersey heif-
ers and they have pronounced this
an exceptionally fine cattle country
and it is probable that they will re-
turn for other loads. While the heif-
ers are selling well they are not
bringing as much quite as they did
last year.
There are about thirty heifers in a
car and some seasons there are as
high as thirty-fiye or forty cars ship
ped to the Illinois and Indiana mar
ket, and while it would be a difficult
matter to get an average price of a
car of the heifers in the aggregate
a consignment brings large sum, in
some cases a thousand dollars or
mess is readily apparent.
more hence the magnitude of the bus
Buyers who have been here this
week are enthusiastic over this coun-
ty. And they are sure to give it ad-
vertising away from home that will
prove a valuable asset.

HOMES COMMITTEE
WIlLGtEI SUNDAY
TO MAKE REPORTS
SOUTH COLUMBIA CHURCH WILL
COOPERATE IN ENTER
TAlNMENT.
NO HOMES FOR PAS OaS WIVES
Chairman Turner, of the General
Committee, Says That 1t viii Be
Impossible to Take Care of Any
Save Members of Conference.

Active preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the
Tennessee Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South.
The committee heretofore appointed
to secure homes for the delegates will
commence work tomorrow morning
and they are all urged by the general
chairman, Edward P. Turner, to be
in readiness to report on Next Sun
day.
The South Columbia Methodist
church will secure the homes in
South Columbia. The work being
done by committee or committees
from that church under the direction
of the pastor of the church, Rev. Mr.
Freeman.
Many requests are coming to the
pastor and the chairman of the enter
tainment committee for homes for
wives of the preachers and delegates
who will attend the conference. 1t
will be impossible to provide homes
for these good women much as the
church would like the privilege Of en-
tertaining them. he following state
ment was made this morning by
Chairman Turner:
"The church would be glad to en-
tertain the good wives of the preach
ers and delegates. It pains us to
know that we cannot do so. 1t is
the only vacation that many Of these
noble women have during the en-
tire year. But we must tell all of
them that it will be out of the ques-
tion to try to provide them entertain
ment. And in taking this step we
are but following the example of
Clarksville and McMinnville and
Springfield and the other recent
hosts of the conference. The con-
ference has grown too large, the SER
about adding the women to the list
of those fol- whom homes and enter-
tainment must be provided. The
committee has carefully canvassed
the situation and have conferred with
our pastor and we have been forced
to the conclusion that we have reach
ed and we hope no one will take Of
tense.
There is no question about there
being ample entertainment for the
men who are coming. They will all
be we'll cared for and given as warm
and cordial reception as the confer
ence ever had in its history. Colum-
bia will keep open house and II we
could we would go further and en-
iertain those who are not members
of the conference. But we realize
orr inability to do So"

BOYS
LANDED IN JAIL
THIS MORNING
EN- ROUTE TO CULLMAN TIC
WORK THE FAIR THEY
SAY.
ALL UNDER SlXltEk HAS OLD
Give Their Home Town But vii
+ Give No Street or Number and D.
Not Want Parents Advised As u
Would Do No Good.

Four boys ranging in age from
few months less than fourteen to Sin
teen years were arrested by Special
Agent Rigsby this morning at the l.
& N. depot for hoboing. They each
claim their homes at Nashville, ano
say they were on their way to Gull
man, Ala, where they were goine
to work the fair in various ways
They say they were at the State Fair,
and were also here few days with
cane racks, confetti and other things
Of that character, but claim they are
broke with the exception Of two sil
yer dollars, which appeared to be
common fund. None of them seemed
inclined to tell anything but .
straight story, admitting their guilt
of beating their way on the train ano
telling Of their experiences.
Only one of them showed any dis
position to repent of his conduct or t.
regret the situation in which they are
all placed. On being asked If they
wanted their parents to know the
plight they were in all but one said
it would be of no use. He said his
parents would help him and woulo
doubtless get him out of Jail If In
formed about him, but he would Iath-
er serve his time out on the road, be
cause they would throw it up to him.
In reply to the suggestion that
working the fairs" was not very
profitable or pleasant employment,
they replied their experience was
about to bring them to that conclus
ion.
The boys and their residences a.
claimed are Dave Anderson, Wea
Nashville; Earl Thomas, South Nash
vile; Clarence Mcknight, West Nash.
Vile; Henry Brewer, Morrow Road
Neither would give any street or
number for fear there would be an at.
tempt to communicate with their par
ents, and they, with the one excep'
ton, seemed to prefer that not be
done. All are intelligent, perhaps
above the ordinary, while they regret
getting caught appear to have decid
ed to make the best of an ugly situa
ton and are blaming no one hut
themselves.

RAIN HOLDS
BACK GAME
New York -AthIet CS viii Meet
In Quaker City To-
mOrrOW
DAY LAY OFF WILL
HELP THE PITCHERS

Rain prevented the playing in Phila-
delphia today of the fourth game be-
tween New York Giants and the
Philadelphia Athletics for the worlds
championship.
The postponed game will be played
tomorrow in Philadelphia, weather
permitting. In any event it will be
played in the Quaker city the first
clear day.
Giant fans and players are elated
over the calling off or today's contest
as the delay will put Rube Marquard
in much better shape to face the
Athletics and will give Mathewson an
extra day Of rest, so that he can take
his turn in the box again on Friday,
strong enough to go the full route.
Nor has Mack's team manifested
undue anxiety over the postponement.
Bender and Plank will secure more
rest and either of them viii be able
to do slab duty tomorrow, for IL ia
more than likely Manager Mack Will
selecte either the indian or Plank
for mound work in the next game.
Rain began falling IN Philadelphia
last night and continued undated
until 10 o'clock this morning.
The infield at Shibe Park was soak
ed despite the mammoth canvass COW
ering. while the outfield was the usual
"sea Of mud" Members Of the Ma
tional Commission after canvassing
the situation. decided that even II the
rain should cease the field would be
in no condition to permit the playing
OF the game, and accordingly ordered
the managers to call Il of.
Philadelphia today is baseball mad
and the chances are that tomorrow's
crowd will be the largest ever packed
into the new ball park there. The
weather forecast is for clear weather
tonight and tomorrow with sufficient
winds to aid greatly In drying out the
well drained grounds. so that a fast
playing field is expected despite the
soaking.

THE RECORDERS OFFICE

Much comment is heard among law
yers, officeholders and citizens regard
ing the plans for the elevation Of the
Court House as prepared by E. l..
Rice and Co., Inc, architects.
The appearance of the building ac-
cording to the plans, is considered
very attractive and the interior would
supply room sufficient for the county
for many years.
While the architects arranged the in
terror so that some of the present Of
fees would be changed there is room
and time to make other changes. Of
ficeholders said today that the record
er of deeds needs twice as much room
as he has at presnt. Recorder George
said that It is we'll for the public 20
remember that there are many records
in his office which are extremely val
liable and should be safely guarded
Recorder George suggests that when
improvements are made to the build
ing his office should be fitted with roll
curtains of steel. In this way 1t Is
possible to create a private room Mr..
George also thinks an attendant is
necessary in the office.
Some people oppose the addition TO
the Court House as now contemplated.
The members of the Levy Court re-
fuse to commit themselves on the sub
