WEATHER MAN AND
ELEMENTS At ODDS
IN MAURY COUNTY
FORECASTS AND MOISTURE DO
NOT AGREE IN ANY
, RESPECT.
HARD ON CHRISTMAS TRADE
Also Knockout Blow for Those Who
Expected to Stay the Festive Swine
Makes the Delivery and Killing of
Holiday Turkeys Difficult.

By his conduct for the past week or
ten days the weather man has about
forfeited all the faith and confidence
which credulous folk had reposed in
him. The weather for the past week
in this part of the State taken in con-
nection with the so-called official
forecasts" have about demonstrated
that there is not much reliability
about Uncle Sans expensive wealth
er bureau. Apparently the bredic-
ton that pans out is the exception
and not the rule.
For last Friday and Saturday rain
was predicted, instead the sun shone
on both days and there was little in
dication of change. Not until Sun
day afternoon did the wet weather
predicted for three days put iii it's
belated appearance. Although it
rained all night Sunday night and
was raining hard Monday morning
comes the forecaster with the air of
'one having authority" and opines to
the public that the next day will be
clear and cold"
The elements answered the predic-
ton of fair and cold by another down.
pour of rain that lasted all day on
Tuesday. Nothing daunted the
weather man again stepped to the
front and declared that the rains
would cease and the sun would shine
but the elements for the steenth time
demonstrated their freedom from die
'tation and Wednesday was another
damp day. To cap the climax the
.predicter said that Wednesday would
certainly experience a change in the
weather and that it would surely be
cold by Thursday. Every living,
breathing thing in Maury county
knows how far from the truth was
this statement.
1t rained most of Wednesday n ght
and a perfect downpour fell on
Thursday morning knocking he cal
culations of the farmers who had ex-
pected hog killing weather into a
cooked hat.
The continued wet weather at this
season is playing havoc with Christ
mas shopping. People are not CON-
ing to town in the rain. 1t is also
making 1t very hard on the farmers
who have sold turkeys for delivery
this week. But it is even worse on
the buyers. They are practically los |
ing the feathers and killing turkeys !
this sort of weather is an extra -haz- |
ardous undertaking.

Dixon said when the corner stone
was pulled out of the system of pro
tective tariff, when farmers products
were thrown into free market, while
his purchases continue to be protect
ed, there were many good protection
lists in the republican party in the
senate who will vote to have the duty
