Andy Kendall underwent a subtle
change after the arrival of the general.
Before then he had gambled as did all
men of Holcomb. Before then he had
been known to drink when in the
mood, and had blithely danced when
SO inclined; but now tho mellow
green of the layout and he were
strangers. he seemed immune from
drouth, and danced no more.
One speech of his. made but a day
or two after the exile's arrival, was
long remembered. 1t was when some
of the women of the dance hall ven
tured to protest against his laying full
claim to the boy whom many would
have taken to satisfy the ever hun
CRY mother love. They unwisely asked,
with reckless taunts and ill-tuned
ieers. by what right he had taken the
lad.

The boys eyes slowly opened until
they were very big and round, and
then relaxed into such a smile of de-
light that they were almost shut. 1t
was fortune. and the engagement
was closed. And thus a water car
rier was installed into the workaday
life OF the Jumper mine, which at first
created much amusement for the
rough but good hearted gang who
worked 1t. 4
True, the creek, clear and limpid

agreed that he would consider such

After the fire was out and the New

MAURY COUNTY
TEACHERS MEET
At COURT HOUUE
LARGE ATTENDANCE FOR THE
FIRST COMING TOGETHER
THIS FALL.
Prof. n. C. Pierce of the Department
of Agriculture Delivers a Lecture
on Poultry and It's Relation to the
Farm, With Specimen in Hand.

The teachers meeting which ME. at
the court house house this morning
at 10 o'clock was attended by large
number, there being eighty-fve teach
ers present by actual count.
The improvement association was
called together, and Immediately
there was a discussion of matters OF
importance. The discussion was led
by Mr.. Galloway, who took for his
subject ventilation and light. There
was an open and free discussion
which resulted in some very practical
suggestions.
1t was developed that the idea Of
sanitation is getting a good hold on
the schools, and that in keeping with
the sanitation idea there are great
number of the schools that have done
away with the old time way OF all
drinking from the same vessel or
drinking cup
The regular teachers association
took up the regular subjects as pre-
scribed BY the State course which
has been announced in The Herald
heretofore, and there was also an
open discussion and much of prac-
tical nature developed in the talks
that followed
Prof Pierce next interested and en-
tertained the teachers with lecture
on the Relation of Poultry to the
Farm"
Mr.. Pierce is beginning to be light
well acquainted with the people here
and they are learning that when he !,
talks there Is something of value to |
it. He demonstrated with live speci- |
mems in hand and took up in detail |,
the practical judging and handling of |
chickens to an advantage. He show
ed how to Judge the profitable fowl,
and the lazy FOWL After Talk ,tnaC
was practical in the extreme on the
chicken itself, he then took up dis
cussion of eggs, and in this instance
he also had specimens present. He
showed the necessity for uniformity
in shape, size and coloring of the
she'll. /
In these discussions and lectures 1t
IS the purpose of the government to
arouse a disposition in the rural com
to improve the stock OF
poultry, and if possible to do away
With the mongrel fowl, showing that
he pure blood birds are of more val
lie as an egg layer, for the table and

Good, old time molasses, new sor-

exceptionally good this season The
cane seems to be in good shape and
lis producing an excellent grade OF
molasses, and the yield is better than
usual, SO say the farmers
There was a better acreage in the
county than usual this season, and
the manufacture has just begun.
Among those who are making a good
showing in this product of the farm
lis J. J. Underwood, who has just been
appointed p rural route carrier at this
postofIice, had in about five and one
half acres this year and is realizing
most satisfactory returns. He had a
sample of his molasses in town Fri
day afternoon, and it was SIS clear as
honey and the favor was all that
could be wished for. Mr.. Underwood
said that from the FIVE and one half
acres he would easily get six hundred
gallons. This would be more than
one hundred gallons per acre, and
priced at so cents per gallon would
give him more than $50 PEI acre.
Considering that sorghum is usual
iy grown on ground that is young and
unproductive this is a handsome re-
turn. Compared with other crops

SUIT IS ENTERED
AGAINST CITY N
BACK TAX CASE
rGREW OUT OF THE CoLLEc-
TiONS IN THE TlTCOMB
ESTATE.
An Excellent Showing Is Made by the
City Recorder in Current Taxes
and by Marshal Morgan in the Col
lection of Fines.

The regular meeting of the mayor
and city council took place at the
city hall Thursday night, and while
the business transacted was of i'm
portance there was but little out Of
the ordinary.
The matter of perhaps the most in
terest, though not of the most i'm
portance was the discussion of the
matters growing out of the collec.
ton of back taxes on the Titcomb es-
tate. 1t seems that a prior meeting
of the council the question of pen
atty for the taxes of 1911 came up
and the whole matter was placed in
the hands of committee. When the
regular meeting time came on it was
adjourned over for a week and Meth
err Of the members of the committee
were present at the adjourned meet
ing.
At this meeting the council allow
ed an attorneys fee to w. J. Tow
Ter in the case, but when the lrregu-
larity was discovered the payment OF
the same was held up, and Mr.. Tow
Ter at once instituted suit against
the city for collection of said fee. At
the meeting Thursday night the com
mittee made its report recommend
ing that the fees in the case be dis
allowed and the council concurred
but committee composed of three
members of the council was appoint
ed to adjust the difference with Mr..
fowler II possible.
The usual appropriations were made
for the payment of current expenses.
The report of the collection of the
city taxes was the next most impor-
tant thing and showed some inter-
esting figures, although the work was
not completed. The penalty on all
unpaid taxes goes over on the first
of October.
The amount of collections for the
month of September current taxes
for the year 1911, $25,05404, ccilec-
tons for August $3,927S3, making
total of s2S,9S1S7. This makes a
much better showing, all things con-
sidered, than was last year, which
was the record year. The railroad
and telegraph taxes, which are re-
ported from the Comptrollers Office,
have not as yet been heard from, but
based on last years figures this will
put the collections in excess of last
year by a good figure
The collections by City Marshal
Morgan showed $1,000.

TO FIX DATE FOR
CLOSE OF COUNTY
CORN CLUB CONTEST
NEXT MEETING OF THE BoARl
OF TRADE TO BE HELD TUES
DAY, OCT. II.
Expected That Time of Awarding tht
Prizes in the Contest VIII &c Mad,
a Notable Event in the History Of
Columbia--Other Matters.

There will be no meeting OF the
Board of Trade on next Tuesday
night owing to the fact that the Nom
bers of the Methodist conference will
assemble on that date, but the reg.
ular meeting will be held on the fol
lowing Tuesday night, Oct. II. This
will be the first meeting since the re
cess for the heated term and it Is
expected that there will be a large
attendance of the members as there
is considerable business of impor.
lance to transact.
One of the first matters to come
before the board at the coming meet
ing will be the fixing of a time for
the awarding of the prizes in the
Boys Corn Club contest. The con-
test closes ON Nov Is, that is the
certificates of acreage and yield must
be filed with the secretary of the
Board of Trade before that time, but
as yet no time has been set for the
awarding of the three big prizes. 1t
is expected that this time will be
made quite an occasion for the boys
who have entered the contest. No
one will know the result Of the con.
test until the date set
The secretary will next week mail
to all of the members of the club the
necessary certificates to be filled out
One of these will be for the acreage
and the other for the report of the
yield. The former must be signed by
three parties and the latter by two
witnesses.
Aside from the corn contest there
ire number of other matters to en-
gage the attention of the Board OF
Trade. A full report will be receiv

,ponsible for the fair.
