LARGELY INCREASED
PREMIUMS FOR THE
MAURY COUNTY FAIR
BOARD OF TRADE SUPPLEMENTS
AMOUNTS OFFERED BY
ASSOCIATION.
The LATTER is ALSO LIB RAJ
Expected That the Aggregate Increase
for Farm Products and Live Stock
Will Not Be Less Than $1,000.
Board of Trade Meets.

Through the efforts of the Board OF
Trade and the generosity of the Fair
Association the premiums offered by
the tsS.r this year will be the best In
many respects ever offered at fair
In Maury county. The association has
increased the premiums offered for
stock and mules and Jacks and GER
tain grains, ETC., by more than $780,
and practically the same sum has
been added by the Board of Trade
The list has not yet been completed
but when 1t is it is safe to say that
the premiums this year will exceed
those of past years by more than
$1,000.
There was a meeting of the Board
of Trade last night at which Chair
man Rainey of the fair committee,
submitted most encouraging report
showing the result of his work He
stated that the people of the county
had made generous response the
appeal for funds for additional prem.
iums at the fair, and that the fair
association had been liberal in in.
creasing former lists.
If the active and earnest co-orera.
tion of the Board of Trade can make
1t SO, the coming fair will be the
most successful and will appeal
more strongly to the great agricultural
interests of the county than any ever
held. 1t is the ambition of the Board
of Trade to make he fair exhibits
truly representative of the best ag
ricultural county In the blue grass
section of the State and to do that
the premiums will be exceptionally
interesting. It Is safe to say that the
greatest mule show ever witnessed
In Tennessee will be beholden here
this fall since the premiums will be
the best ever offered.
While the attendance at the Board
of Trade meeting Tuesday night
could have been larger, 1t was an ear
nest and determined crowd who met
at the Columbia Bank & Trust Com
pany and in addition to the fair 9th
er matters of concern to the people
Of the county were discussed.

ATTORNEY GEN. TO PROSECUTE
viii Enforce the Fish and Game Laws
Strictly in This District, He AS
sures the Observation-Disclosures Writ
ten by Mr.. Bowers.

Commissioner George w. Bowers,
of the Bureau of Fisheries, in the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor at
Washington, has written to the Mid
die Tennessee Fish and Game Associ-
alton that he has made an assignment
of black bass to the waters of Maury
county streams which are large

arrive here as soon as possible. Mr..
Bowers says that only a sufficient
number of fish for breeding purposes
can be furnished, and that he expects
that proper care will be taken of the
fish until they have multiplied.
Attorney General Horace Frierson
has assured the association that he
will prosecute vigorously all offenders
who are arrested for violations of the
fish and game laws in his district. 1t
Is the wish of the association that
Duck river, and other streams in this
county which are large enough for
fish may be stocked as soon as posi-
BILE.
The letter received this morning
from Mr.. Bowers is as follows:

icy of the bureau to fill applications

is expected that they will be properly
protected until they have had time to
reproduce. Respectfully,

tween Glendale and Cullekoa, about
the first Of next month A building
committee composed of E. J. Park,
chairman; J. H. Kannon and D W.
G. Smith, has been engaged in dis
cussing the plans Of the building, but
have as yet not made a definite selec-
tion.
The building will be of brick, and
it Is estimated to cost $4,000. The
building will be centrally located be-
tween the two congregations at Gull
leoka and Glendale, and this fact has
given it the name of Central
Church"
Since the purchase of the farm on
which the church is to be built, the
congregation has been worshipping
in the residence located there, having
made few alterations in the build
ing Previous to the purchase of the
farm they had used the Methodist
church at Glendale for their place of

will be rented by the church.

beginning Monday, May 8, closing
Monday, May Is, at $3.50 p. m.
This exhibition is given for ad
vertising purposes. The admission
will be free, and you are cordially
invited to attend.
The exhibition will be in the hands
of factory experts.
The display will include one each
Of the different styles of the Weaver
York and Livingston Pianos, and will
be the most complete exhibition ever
given by any piano company.
The object Of the exhibition is to
thoroughly introduce the different
style pianos manufactured by the
Weaver Organ & Piano Co., to ex
plain to you how the Weaver Pianos
are built, to show you and tell you
things about 1t that you can see and
understand for yourself.
We have withdrawn most OF our
appropriation from the
magazines and billboards as we find
this mode of advertising more effec'
tive and less expensive.
1t is equal to a visit to our fac
tory, because a sample Of each style
is displayed and the factory experts
in charge take the greatest pleasure
in explaining every part OF the piano
