SOUTH'S SACRIFICE -
FOR THE GOOD Of
THE ENTIRE NATION
TIME TO GALL HALT AND KEEP
THE BEST BLOOD OF THE
LAND AT HOME.
Thu BACK HOME MOVEMENT
The Upbulld of the West in Which
Entire Nation Takes Great Pride.
The Press of the South Is TAKING
the Matter in Hand.

Speaking of the advertisement OF
the South through the Back Home
movement, there is reason why it will
be effective. For generations the
South has been sending her sons and
daughters into the four corners OF
this nation, there to make their
homes, and contribute not only to
the upbuilding of those regions, but
to inject into these sections the pest
blood and the highest ideals of our
civilization We of the South may
now distinguish in this movement
which has so long shown no comren.

providence. Let us believe that first
of all the South has been permitted
to remain undefiled by foreign immi.

might preserve throughout the years
those fundamental principles upon
which our nation was established and
send out into the new civilization of
the west men whose ideals were form.
ed in a section where the home Is sa-
cred and the religion of the father is
founded on the simple faith III the
word Of God. Such men have gone
out from the South and their blood,
their courage, and their ideals. have
been saving graces that have had
their influence throughout the ma
ton. Let US believe, we say, that
this has been part of the South's mis-
sion in the years that have flown,
Let us hope the Souths sacrifice has
been for the good of our nation.
Today the west has been develop
ed. That wonderful region in which
all Americans take a pride has come
into its own, while the South, through
her contribution of men to that sec.
ton, suffers-we may truthfully say
from the loss of blood given to build
up that section. But this state OF
affairs is not without it's advantages if
we see them and take hold of the op-
portunities. offered No region Ok all
this country has so many sons away
from home. They crowd the west,
but in the heart of each there is the
tenderest affection and the most
pride in the section that gave
them birth. For this reason the hour
has come and the time is ripe for the
call to come back home" to be heard
and to be answered. Not, we say, in
The return Of great numbers from the
west, but in the holding of our own

SHAREHOLDERS OF LOCAL IN
SITUATIONS ARE BEING MADE
EXCEEDING GLAD.

Dividends for the past six months
are being laid by the Phoenix Ma
tional Bank and the Maury National
Bank to their shareholders. The
past six months have been prosper
Gus ones with these two institu-
lions as the statements will Illus
trate. On June 7 the banks, under
call from the comptroller made ex-
ceptionally good showings and the
dividend payments and surplus earn
lngs are most encouraging.
The Phoenix National Bank paid
Its usual four per cent. semi-annual
dividend and in addition carried .our
per cent. or $4,000 to the capital
stock. The earnings for the six
months were therefore eight per
cent. or at the rate of sixteen per
cent per annum.
The Phoenix Savings Bank & Trust
Company also paid the usual divi
dend for the past half year of four
per cent. and also carried in addition
al four per cent to the surplus, q
remarkably good showing.
The Maury National Bank is today
paying to its large number of share
holders the usual dividend of six per
cent. for the past half year. This
bank pays two dividends of six per
cent. year. The Bank also carried
to the surplus account $4,000 out or
the earnings for the past six months.

BIG INCREASE SHOWN
|NREALTy TRANSFERS
IN PAST SIX MONTHS
MAURY COUNTY LANDS IN MORE
ACTIVE DEMAND DURING
PERIOD.
More Than Ten Per Cent. Gain AS
Compared With the Same Period OF
Previous Year; Three Months
Show Slight Losses.

Indicating the esteem III which the
lands of Maury county are held sta
tistics for the past six months show
that there has been large increase
in realty transactions as compared
with the corresponding six months OF
the previous year.
For the six months ending on June
80 the real estate transfers in the
county amounted to $730,570 as com
pared with $655,77O for the same pc.
Rod of the previous year.
There were increases in the three
months and the same number OF
months of this year show a loss as
compared with the previous year.
But the gains came in the big months
when they meant something. The
heaviest increase was in February, a
month that always makes good
showing in real estate deals. The
transfers for February of this year
amounted to $179,630 as compared
with only $74,05O for the same month
of 1910. January had good balance
on the right side of the ledger, the
figures being $211,11O for this year
and $192,440 for the same month OF
the preceding year.
There was also a goodly gain dur
ing the showery month of April. the
figures for this year being $10G,22o
as compared with $95,26O for the
same month of 1910.
There were losses In March, May
and June. 1t is probable that the
long drouth In May and June in this
year had very depressing effect
upon land sales. A notably large per
centage of the sales this year have
been farm lands, comparatively little
city property having changed hands.
In several instances city residents
have been purchasers of country
property.
A comparative statement for the
six months of 1910 and 1911 follows:

HORRIBLE FATE OF SlLAS KEEL
LEY IN RUNAWAY AC-
ClDENT.


troll of Driver; Victim Is Thrown
Against Post and Brains Knocked
Out-About 18 Years Old.
Silas Kelley is dead near Kettle
Mills as the result of a runaway aoci-
dent on Friday afternoon late.
Kelley was thrown from his two
horse wagon, striking his head
against a gate post and almost in
stantly killed. He was horribly man
gled, his head being torn and gashed
in a horrible manner, the brains be-
ing knocked out and spattered over
the gate post.
Young Kelley, a son of Bird Kelley,
a farmer of Kettle Mills, was about
eighteen years old and was driving a
team of big mules. In some manner
the mules became frightened and got
beyond the control of Kelley. The
wagon struck rough place, he was
thrown out and falling hit his head
squarely against large post on the
side of the road He was dead when
picked up and from the nature of
his bruises it is practically certain
that he met death instantly.
The funeral will take place at his
home near Kettle Mills today.
The young man was unmarried and
was hard working, industrious
youth making the tragedy all the
more appalling.

exercises. which will last for two
weeks. will be more difficult than any
ever before attempted by the navy.
Realizing that future combats will be
fought at great distances, not a shot
will be fired at a less range than
5000 yards-more than five miles.
The maximum ranges of the practice
will be $1,000 yards. or more than
nine miles.
Some of the interesting features of
the exercises will be tests with box
