MAURY COUNTY
JACKS GET PRIZE
ALLAN 3. HARLAN, OF LAKEWOOD
FARM, CLEANS BOARDS At
PULASKI.

Allan B. Harlan, the premier jack
man Of this section Of Tennessee,
was in attendance at the Pulaski fair
last week with string of his jack
stock, and made a celan sweep in the
rings where he showed.
He won the premiums in all the
sweepstakes. Best jack, any age;
best jennett, any age; best Jack and
three colts; best jennett and three
colts; best herd Of three and one
jack.
Mr.. Harlan was enthusiastic about
the quality of the jack stock on exhi-
bition at Pulaski, and If there Is a
Judge of jack stock in the state Allan
Harlan is one. He said 1t was the
finest exhibition he had seen since
1892, when there was stock valued at
$25, 900 in the ring at one time. The
ring value at Pulaski was $4,000.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 6. Second of the
automobile accidents to occur on the
Murfreesboro road within a space of
twenyt-four hours occurred yester-
day afternoon late, when taxicab
driven by Claude Benson dashed into
a Tennessee Central passenger train
where the railroad crosses the Muir
freesboro turnpike.
BY a miracle Benson escaped with
"a shaking up and minor injuries, and
went to his home. That he got away
from the machine as the collision &C.
CURED doubtless saved his life.
According to those who investfgat-
ed the affair, the automobile landed

collision was enough to send the ma

AS usual the crowded condition of
the school was matter Of some con
sideration. 1t was suggested that the
enabling act for the issuance of the
school bonds had been passed by the
Legislature both in general bill and
in a special bill for Columbia, and it
was important that something should
Ebe done.
w. B. Greenlaw made motion that
"a committee be appointed for the pur.
pose Of looking into the legal status
sof the matter with instructions to re.
port at the mkt meeting of he board

AN election for school bonds could be

was stated that Tennessee's produc

at S75,0NO,O 900. A New York delegate
declared that the price of first condi

around to sixty cents dozen. While
the Southern states produce many

COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE
BOARD TO MAKE REPORT
NEXT MEETING.
one MAN WANTS ALL BOND!
Report of the Superintendent Regard
ina the Enrolment Shows the Num-
Der Not So Large as Has Been Es-
timated.

There was solid serious considera-
ton of matters of vital importance to
the educational interests of the city
Tuesday night at the meeting OF the
board of education.
There was report of the changes
in the faculty, occasioned by the res
ignation of Prof. Morton just at the
beginning of the school, this being
the first regular meeting of the board
since that time, and the action of the
nominating committee in meeting the
matter as it did was not only ratified
but commended.
This was the first occasion on
which the actual figures could be OBJ
tanned. Superintendent Harris gave
the figures in the various grades,
which showed that the estimates
heretofore have not been wholly JUS
titled. Ten days ago it was estimat-
ed that with the delinQuents all in
there would be something near 900.
The report from the different grades
and the aggregate figures show that
with the delinquents added the num-
Der will be about 100 short of the
number at first estimated. This will
make the number in excess of former
years. The enrolment follows:

About the boldest attempt at rib

for some time was that of Tuesday
night when it was alleged in the war
rant that Bob White and Hodge Dow
ell undertook to enter the store of Ed
Dooley on East Hill. They were
caught in the act of attempting the
entrance by pricing off the boxing or
the front side of the store.
Patrolmen Hight and Christley
were notified by passers by that there
was something going wrong at the
store and they made a hurried re

She calls her chicks APPARENTLY at one

disappointment in not finding the

the call apparently emanates.
