DR.. Walter w. Fowler, who has
5sen the guest of his mother, Mrs.
Taylor, and bis sister, Mrs. John p.
Graham, at Culleoka for the past
week, returned to his home in Ballin.
ger, Texas this morning. DR.. Fowler
js another example of the Maury
county boy who has gone West and
done we'll. He went to Ballinger thir-
ty-six years ago and is now one Of the
leading physicians of that section and
is we'll fixed in this worlds goods.
DR.. Fowler Is living illustration
of the power and force of the hack
to the farm" movement which has
come into such decided vogue during
the recent past. Although he left
Maury county when boy to avoid
the work of the farm in recent years
he has felt the call again to the soil
and as result has acquired over a
thousand acres of land near his home
and is making all necessary improve
+, ents. The one consuming desire of
his life now is to retire to his farm
and there spend the declining years
of life cose to natures heart. DR..
Fowler is an enthusiast on the sub
ioet Of agriculture and is most en-.
tertaining talker.
DR.. Fowler was one of the students
Of Webb chooi at Culleoka soon after
that institution started, being a class
mate of the late Senator Carmack,
whose memory he loves and cher.

The impression prevails now that
party harmony is all off with Tennes

rhe question of who will control the
temporary organization of the May
convention is the rock on which the
split will probably occur. 1t is not
unlikely the Independent committee
when it meets will rescind its last &C

some spicy reading matter. Thi!
