GREAT FAILS MAIN
ENGINEER HERE TO
LOOK INTO A ROUTE
LINCOLN NISSLEY is GOING
THROUGH COUNTRY TO MUIR.
FREESBoRo IN 5UGGY.
ESTABLISH LINE NEAR Pike
Murfreesboro to Be Made a Distrbut.
ing Point, ard Various Towns to Be
Supplied With Electricity for Mu-
nicipa and Public Use.

Lincoln Nissley, the expert engi-
neer Of the Great Falls Power Co., was
here Monday looking int the feasibil-
lty of bringing the power to Colum-
bia and possibly on to Mt. Pleasant.
The dam t. be bunt on the Caney
Fork river will be partly in White
and partly in Warren county, and will
be 10 feet high, and the water above
this dam it is estimated will back up
the river thirty miles. The point OF
-he dam will be about fifty miles from
Murfreesboro, where it is the purpose
Of the company to make distributing
station. From this station it is plan
ned TO furnish electric power for mu-
Eicipal and public use to various
towns within a given radius Leba-
non, Gallatin, Woodbury., Manchester,
Shel6yville, Lewisburg and Columbia
and possibly other towns are being
considered, and it was for the pur-
pose of inspecting the country that
Mr. Nissley was here
He goes from here TO Lewisburg,
snd then on to Murfreesboro, looking
out the most feasible route.
In discussing the proposition Mr.
Nissley stated that the wiring would
have to be done close by the pixies
through the country as the repair out
fits of the company would travel by
automobile in order to facilitate quick
repairing when it came necessary to
make any repairs.
Already there has been more than
100000 spent in the development of
the proposed plant, and this is only a
very small portion of the expendi-
lures If the plans that are being work
cd out should mature
The low cost Of the generation of
the power VIII put it at the minimum
for the different municipalities, it is
stated, and that too, with a much
more regular and a better service
than the small towns or small plants
can give.

COLORiNG.

The milliners have begun going to
me markets for the preparations for

ed on the Easter bonnets. And how
ever much the men may deny it, they
IRE interested in what that bonnet
may look like, for during the past two
seasons the good looking women
haven't had chance on account of
the styles" The national associa-
lion Of retail milliners have just had
a meeting in Chicago and have come
% decision what viii be the proper
thing in hats this season. And here
j. a result OF their deliberations:
Small or medium in size.
A rot of eolors with plenty of
Covers
Novelties in Turkish designs.
Anything rather than large designs
for fashionable women.
Also styles this season are 10 be
ssss expensive and more simple, but
startling in coloring, is the assertion
Of the president Of the association.

The entertainment committee, con-
sisting of William j. bale, Jr., VIII
liam S. Fleming, Jr., James G. Will

worked hard to make the occasion a

FOUNTtI CREEK
store IS ROBBED
THE SECOND TIME
CRIMINAL MORE SUCCESSFUL IN
HIST LAST EF-
FORT.
Dogs PLACED ON TRAIL
One Hundred and Twenty-Five DOL
lars in Stamps and Eighty Dollars
In cash-safe Completely Ruined
BY the Explosives.

For the second time within a month
the store of 0. NJ Marshall at Camp
bells Station was robbed on Monday
night This time the robbers were
more successful than at the former
effort.
On arriving at his store on Tues
day rorning about o'clock he found
that it had been entered during the
night and the safe had been blown
open with an explosive of some char
acter, supposed by some to have been
dynamite The safe was blown half
way ecross the room in which 1t was
situated and was complete wreck
SO lar as its future utility is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Marshall had Just received s125
wor.n of stamps from the postoifice
department, for the supply of the
postotlice at that place, and these to-
gether with about $50 in cash, all
lostolfice money, had been put in the
safe the night before The robber
mad appropriated all this to his own
use and departed.
The former robbery took place on
the night of January II, and in this
case the combination on the safe was
either worked or it was never turned
on, and the robber got $1O0 of the
individual money. This time the en-
try tn the safe was not so easy and
all the money seized belonged to the
government.
From the frequency of the safe
blow,ngs 1t seems that it must tebe
some one familiar with the surround
ings. On the night of Jan. the safe
in tho store of w A. Denham, at
Grov9and, was blown open; on the
night Of January IL the store of c. M.
Marsrall was entered and the safe
opened; on tie night of February u
the same was entered and the safe
blown open in a similar manner to
the explosion al Groveland
Dogs were telephoned for from
Lawrsnceburg and they started
through the country in an automo-
bile, but at y o'clock they had not
arrived.
