Harlan, Watson, Jones and Others
Are Adding Every Day to the Rep

That the fame of the Maury county
jacks and jennets is becoming world
wide is being proven more and more
each year from the fact that there
are more jacks and jennets shipped
out of this county than possibly any
ten counties in the state. It has be-
come a recognized center or head
quarters for such stock, and the rep
utaiton is justly deserved enc.
Such men as Watson Bros. John l..
Jones, A. B. Harlan and several 9TH
ers have infused the best blood into
the home bred stock and built up the
strains to such high grade that it
is hardly possible to find any better
stock in Spain, the native home of
the jack, than is right here in this
county.
Mr.. Harlan has done more, posi-
bly,, in the way of infusing the inn
ported blood into the strain than any
other man, and John L. Jones has
done more toward the upbuild of the
home animals than any other man,
in that he has organized the Ameri-
can Jack Register Association which
makes it necessity on the part of
the BREEDER to KEEP his strains up.
Watson Eros, in a domestic way,
have gathered together the cream of
this country and brought them to this
county until it is fact that there is

SHOW
 |S BIG HIT
Amateurs Produce "BroWn
 of Harvard" in Such
 Splendid Fashion That Best Performance Ever Staged Here' Is Verdict

Brown of Harvard is the best amateur performance ever given in Phoenix This is the verdict of the first nighters, who saw the play staged by amateur talent last night at the Elks theater, given by the B P. O. F. and their friends. Tho IIlkS show is an annual feature but this years performance eclipsed all previous efforts and broke all rec ords. Everybody came away satis- fled pleased, enthusiastic with the work of the amateur thespians. Ev- erything went off with such smooth ness, every member of the cast en- tered into the spirit of the good old college play with such good intent that succtss was apparent from the very start
 Many of the local actors and act rtsses are credited with distinct hits. Among this class ms A. Cater, Tub by" of the play, who on more than one occasion was so uniquely the 1 big, fat, jolly, good humored. big wittei collegian, that the laughter that greeted his sallies threatened to stop the play then and there, to end | in a laughing match.

Leslie Hardy in the crazy scene was so re- alistic with his cries and tears that he had the audience nearly all do- 1 ing likewise.

 on to the stage all "undressed' for | their race made as great hit as any in the play.
 The record is not complete without some mention of J. c. Adams, who
 with mortar board and long frock
 coat was a perfect professor. His
 admonitions to Hubby" were as dig

 The three young ladies that led
 the cast were Miss Mabel Hooker. i Miss Ruth Griffin. and Miss Alice
 Redewll, all of whom acquitted them selves with honors. while Mrs. Mur- phy was a perfectly sweet mother to
 the leading lady.
 Maitland Davies, who directed the
 show, acted as directors have done since they first were discovered. He
 trembled with apprehension as the
 amateur players approached climax
 or d possible big hit, and then broke
 cut with the precipitation of great joy
 when he found his students had suc- :. ceeded beyond expectations. His
 singing in the college songs, the only I appearance he made, was greatly en- iOVd

Less reliable dispatches said the smaller towns of WetmOre Cedar Grove and Trenton were swept away completely.
 There are three distinct flood dis tricts each but a few miles wide, yet sweeping across the entire width of Indiana Tn the north all the towns and cities along the Wabash and larger tributaries are affected. The White river sweeps through central Indiana with Indianapolis the greatest sufferer While the White river drains the val ley in the southern portion of the state, where many of the towns and small cities are affected the smaller streams through the valleys are all tributaries to one or the other of three principal rivers and these have swollen causing | more or less damage

 We have learned from the survi vors that the flood rushed in upon the city about 10 o'clock Monday night. The river rose six feet in three hours Warning was given to some residents but many failed to
