STOCK SPECULATION

New York. September 2s.-Stock
speculation last week strained sue
cessfully at the leash of the restricted
money supplies. Prices advanced into

The marking up of accounts at the
periodical stock market settlement dis

BROWN M'MILLIN
IS IMPROVING
THOUGH CONDITION OF THE
YOUNG MAN IS VERY Sc
RIOUS.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Oct. 24.--The
condition of Brown McMillin, son of
ex-Gov. Benton McMillin, who has
been Ill at st. Luke's hospital in this
city for several days and whose con-
dition since Monday has been such as
to require the presence of his father
at his bedside, was decidedly more ia
vorable today. He was able 10 re
tain soft boiled egg this morning
and soon began to improve. Ne Is
unable to retain any liquids, but this
evening a quart of water was placed
under the skin and rapidly absorbed
by the blood. A physician arrived
this afternoon from Nashville and ii
is now thought that the young man
has a much better chance Of recovery
although his condition is still very Sc
rious. Ex-Gov. McMillin, who is re-
naming close by his son, was much
encouraged today, although he is az
yet unable to make definite plans for
the resumption of his canvass of the
state.

The FARMERS INSTITUTE

Maury county is fortunate in hav-
ing another farmers short course
here this fall. The farmers who ap-
preciated the short course two years
ago will readily agree with us that
these Institutes or schools are of the
highest value to the people. Farming
is science. The more the farmers
OF this county learn about the Sc
crets of narure, the conservation and
Improvement of the soil, the increase
If fertility and the raising of good
stock the more prosperous the pee
pie of this county will be. This IS
essentially an agricultural county.
Practically all of it's wealth comes
from the soil. We must learn to
make two blades of grass grow where
make two blades of grass grow where
,nly ono grew before There is no
,eason why we should not raise
twice as much corn and wheat per
acre as we grow now. Our live stock
and hogs could be vastly improved to
the great profit of the farmers. The
gentlemen who are coming here to
instruct the farmers in better meth
DDS are men of learning and expert
ence They are not mere theorists
They have demonstrated the value of
their knowledge. They have achiev.
ed results. The attendance during
