FEW Mules ARE

FIFTEEN TO TWENTY-FIVE

SOUTHERN BUYERS ARE. HERE
Farmers Are Not Attracted BY the
Figures Cfered, and Many Mules
Brought to Town This Morning
Were Led Back Home.

notwithstanding the fact that there
are a number of buyers from South,
ern cities, Montgomery, Atlanta, and
other places, and an apparently large
number OF mules in the county for
sale there are very few changing
hands. The spectators or dealers
are bit cautious on account OF the
continued low price of cotton, and
the farmers think they are justified
in holding for better figure, and
many of Maury county's famous pro.
duct brought to Columbia this morn.
ing with the idea of a possible trans.
fer was led back home this afternoon.
The dealers say that there are but
few real marketable mules being of.
fered, the majority of the stock being
rather poor in flesh, and the farmers
are being advised to put them on
feed for month or more, as they do
not feel justified in offering prices
that are now being asked.
Dealers from other cities are mere
as much for the purpose of getting
line on the market as for buying,
none of them being particularly anx-
ious to make purchases just now.
Maury county is regarded by the
southern mule dealers as the very
heart of the mule market and many
of them come here like the western
ers go to ST. Louis, to get information
and to get in touch with the fountain
head of the southern mule supply.
There were a few sales early in
the morning but prices were not
given out and early in the day it was
evident that there would be no very
great amount of trading, and by noon
there was hardly any discussion of
present trading, but of what the mar
ket would possibly develop by the
first of the new year.

FRANK LEONHARDT
BUYS THE FARM
J. p. BROWNLOW SELLS HIS
PLACE AND WILL MOVE TO
OKLAHOMA.

]. P. Brownlow has sold his farm
of los acres on the Mt. Pleasant pike
near Columbia to Frank Leonhardt
for $4,000. This gives some idea OF
the value of land in and around Col
umbia. The place is most atrac-
tive one and Mr.. Leonhardt will oc-
cupy it as home.
Mr.. Brownlow and family will with
in a short time move to Oklahoma
where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Brownlow has two chill
dren in the West already.
Probably no better citizen ever liv-
ed in the county than J. P. Brown
low and his departure from this state
will be source of genuine regret to
numerous friends in all sections. He
has been a successful banker and
farmer, public spirited citizen and
a loyal and jealous worker in the
Baptist church. He was brave
Confederate soldier as ever wore the
uniform and his old comrades in arms
esteem him most highly.
The sale was made through Block
er & Co.

EXECUTED.

Failed to land her." was the expla.
nation offered by young man Mon
day morning on returning marriage
license unexecuted. He appeared
Saturday and asked for license, ac-
companying the demand with a re-
quest that it be not published, for he
said, Il may not land her."
When he went for the girl Sunday
morning, according to his own report
he was ordered out of the house and
off the premises, which was evidence
to his mind that he had missed his
guess. In fact it seems that he only
guessed in the beginning. The license
was returned with the remark that
that was the second time he had in
vested in a marriage license and re-
turned it to the clerk unexecuted.

is for the county landing the prize.
Tie individual feature is for the

In addition to the prizes which the

At the meeting of the body the
matter of encouraging the increased

in various forms, and it was heartily
agreed that expenditure that would
promote an increase in the WELD

The boys who go from Maury coun-

question but that the quality and gen.

this Afternoon at lis, and the first
thing on the program was the cleo

As was anticipated there was also
membership fee fixed at 81, this

haps printing them for distribution

by the members of the association.
Program was arranged for next
meeting.
1t was evident that there was
more interest than usual in the farm
ers work. The passes issued by the
department of agriculture have all
been sent out from the state Office
and are In the hands of the farmers,
and there are great many in sddi-
ton to these who expect to pay their
own way and attend the Middle Ten

There will be several of the corn
club boys attend and participate in
the corn exhibit. There will be q
larger delegation attend the meeting
from this county than ever went to
a farmers meeting of any kind in the
past.
The corn clubs and farmers asso-
Citations are opening the eyes and in
creasing the interest of those who
are engaged in agricultural pursuits,
and nothing is more convincing of
this fact than this interest as it mani
tests itself in various ways.
Considerable interest also is being
shown in the corn yield as shown by
Young John Van McKibbon. 1t is
