Pathetic Scene...Sad Parting.

Last Thursday forenoon as drizzling
rain was constantly falling, a lone
horseman was seen to ride upon the
square. He was wearing slicker, and
as he rode slowly from one business
house to another. observing closely
everything that came in sight, even to
a dog that would occasionally put in an
appearance, it was predicted that some
thing heavy was weighing upon his
mind-some friend dead, or there was
to be serious separation, and the SYM
pathy of every bodyson the square was
aroused. 1t was finally discovered that
that the lone horseman was George T.
Flowers, Jr., who was taking views of
familiar haunts before leaving for
Wayne county to eng age in farming;
and as he babe old friends farewell
there was sorrow in every heart, and
the most kindly expressions for his ear
iy return to the spot where the people
generally live in supreme happiness.
1t is an easy matter to talk about leav-
ing home, but when the time comes to
depart, the shaking of the hand is seri-
Gus and the words ''good bye" hard to
say. Seriously speaking, Mr.. Flowers
is big hearted man. friend to every
body and everybody was his friend.
AS he rode out jamestown road, en-.
route for his destination, many Column
bians could have been heard to say,
God be with you till we meet again."

Well Known Fancier of Glendale viii
Probably Be Selected to Look After
Fowls Which Are Placed on ExhI-

There will be, in round figures,
something like 5000 given for prizes
on fine chickens exhibited at the
Maury County Fair this fall This
will be in addition to several special
prizes that will be offered.
One of the features of the poultry
exhibit will be the lectures to be de-
livered Sept and 9 by Prof. H. c.
Pierce, government poultry expert,
who is recognized as one Of the lead
ing authorities on the subject.
It is probable that w. H. Pwyeay
will have charge of the poultry de-
partment of the fair this year. This
will be an excellent selection, as Mr..
Puryear is one of the leading poultry
fanciers of Maury county, and is well
versed in the lore of the coOps, Mr..
Puryear is at present engaged in COM
piling a premium list which will be
submitted to the premium commit-
tee of the fair association at their
next meeting. The premiums will
not be announced until then.
The increase in the prizes to- be Of
fered for chickens and eggs will be
about one-third over the premiums
given last year, and it will be seen
that the policy of the association to
have the biggest premium list of any
fair in Tennessee will not be lost
sight of in the poultry department.
The chicken show is annually one
of the most interesting features of the
fair in Maury county, where many
of the finest fowls of the State are
exhibited. Under the management of
Mr.. Puryear this department was one
of the meccas of the visitors at the
