NASHVILLE HAS
NEW MIL LAW
SHOULD DECIDEDLY IMPROVE
CONDITION OF ClTY'S
MILK.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 30-Strict en-.
forcement of the milk ordinance re-
Gently passed by the city council will
60 into effect after January /, 1918.
According to DR.. W. e. Hibbett, city
health officer, who engineered the bill
through, the health department is to
see that the law is rigidly complied
with and every dairyman In the city
be obliged to carry out all Of its pro.
visions.
while the new law may work a
slight hardship at first" said DR.. Hib
bett Sunday, Il am sure that all will
agree in the end that the ordinance
will help the dairymen as well as
their customers. We are anticipating
great improvement in the milk supply
of Nashville following the enforce
ment of the new alw."
The work Of enforcing the ordi
nance will be done by the regular
employees of the health department
and 1t is not thought that it will be
necessary to employ any extra mid.
Among the most important points
in the new ordinance Is the washing
of milk bottles left on front door
gsteps before renliihg them from the
dairy wagon. A fine of SIS is the len
atty for failure to comply with the law
in each case of violation.

Stockport in driving snowstcrm,
Gen" Rosalie Jones an her march
ing suffragists, who are bearing a
message to Gov.-elect Snlzer ct Al
bany, decided to "mush" on In the
dark this evening for another three
miles from Pine Tree Inn to Niver-
vile. There 1t was decided to return
to the inn for the night, and the
commissary car took them back. In
the morning they will be driven to
Niverville, and from there they will
take up their walk again, hoping to
cover the remaining twelve miles into
Albany by early afternoon. The
weather was very trying to the five
marching pilgrims to-day, changing
this morning from rain to Enow.
The roads for many miles were a
foot deep with slush and snow.
The pilgrims stopped for luncheon
at Undertook. While there Gen"
Jones announced that the army
would finish its march into Albany
Saturday.
Fifty women enthusiasts with a
brass band will meet the tired little
army tomorrow at East Greenbush
and escort them with much pomp

ELECTIONS GALORE
BEFORE next TERM
QUARTERLY COURT
SEVERAL VERY DESIRABLE
PLACES TO BE FILLED IN
TWO WEEKS.
But Others Who Are Holding Down
Jobs Are Less Fortunate and VIII
Have Lively Scraps on Their Hands
Annual Tax Levy.

With an unusually large number of
elections on hand, the first term of
the quarterly court Of Maury county
for 1913 will meet just two weeks
from today. There are several offices
of importance to be filled and candi-
dates are not lacking who aspire to
hold them.
!. The court will name a county SUI
perintendent for the coming two
years. However, this Is one Office for
which there will be no fight, as the
incumbent, Prof. John P. Graham, has
no opposition. For almost six years
Mr.. Graham has served as superin-
tendent and his administration of the
affairs of the Office has been charac-
terized by ability, integrity and devo-
ton to duty. He Is the only ,andi.
date qualified for election before the
court.
There will doubtless be lively
scrap for the job of live stock inspect
or, now held by John T. Akin. It is
understood that there are a number
of aspiring politicians who are snx-
ious-to inspect the cattle, sheep and
hogs Of the county
For member of the county road
board 1t is not thought that there will
be any contest, but that Clay e.
Hight, who is filling out the unexpir.
ed term of James T. Petty, will be re-
elected without opposition. Mr.. Hight
has been member for only about six
months but has shown his ability and
devotion to duty.
| There will also be a lively little
fight for the honor and emoluments
of county attorney, and there is likely
! to be some warm contests for district
road commissioner. These Offices are
to be filled in every district of the
county and where the members of the
court from a district do not agree the
entire court must necessarily settle
the controversy.
| But there will be other business be
sides elections The court will name
committee to recommend tax levy
to the April term. Then the usual ap
preparations will be made, and all the
|
the court.

dre year, eight having been called
for after it was thought business for
che day was over. OF these six we're
for white couples and four of the
white couples called after the lights
had come on for the night.
And this was not the only excep-
tional feature of the freaks of cupid
as the year Was coming to a close.
Esq Robert Guest, who responds to
the wishes of the love sick lads and
lassies during the absence Of the
county court clerk, stated that he
had been about the county clerks of.
fee for fourteen years and Saturday
night was the first time in his obser.
walton that woman called for the es.
sential papers in match making. Not
only was this the case but the lady
in this instance was alone, demand
ed the license, and when the knot was
finally tied at the depot by the accom-
modating squire paid the bill, not In
a salute, but in cold coin. This
couple was Miss Birdie Brown and
Edward E. Caldwell The marriage
took place at the depot few minutes
before the departure of the north
bound train. They are prominent
members of the Groveland communi

Col. Henry Watteraon Is always
saying something. In the last speech
he said he would ever deliver. be-
fore the Perry Centennial the
other day he voiced a substantial
truth 10 the effect that we are over
governed and dwelt on the theory
that the people are best governed
VINO are least governed. Despite
the great tendency 10 establish a
dummy government for every exist
ing thing. Il Is o seen that there
Is much in the way OF accomplish
ment. The Colonel was correct In
his estimate that we have a sur
felt OF law-making bodies. that with
one congress in Washington and
forty-eight little congresses in the
states, we have created a legislative
craze with our useless bodies, multi
farious comm iseions and n~ondescript
e~nactments. We make and unmake
laws for every day In the year,
and the benefit can be reduced to
a very small item. The needs of
the hour have not required this
feverish practice. and the country
has not demanded 1t. The found
ers OF the country seemed to have
paved the way for an abuse OF rea-
son on the part OF the later-day SON
tingent. The theory OF this being
a country OF, for and by the peo-
pie. carries the qualification pro
yided." according to present politi-
cal status-"proyided" they keep
their clans closed about It's regula-
ton.

improvements in different sections
and while the board gave fullest in
dorsement, 1t was thought more prac-
tical to bring those items directly
before the county commissioners
and this will be done.
The telephone committee gave a
report on the proposed line to be
extended to the Bannock valley
country, and this will be promoted
to the end that the Mountain States
Telephone company be induced to
cooperate in the matter.
The Pleasant Prairie Farmers
association presented a suggestion to
the body, asking that some move
ment be projected to the end that
proper wheat-grading be followed,
and many good reasons were cited
for the Improvement not only along
commercial lines, but along the
tangent of efficient farming. By
general i~nsistence for the grading
of wheat better results would &C
cure not only to the farmer, but to
all others interested, and the Board
of Trade will assist in the plan in
every way possible.
The board has also given 5000 TO
the Farmers day celebration, which
will be held in the fall.
The financial condition of the or
ganization was shown to be excel
lent, and will be used to good pur-
pose in pushing the interests
of this fertile section of the uni

Tuesday night the members OF
the Board of Trade met on the
spacious porch of the Remington
hotel, and talked over plans for
the promotion Of local interests dur
ing the coming summer. The ses-
sion was productive of much good
red-blooded sentiment, and in face
of the gratifying condition that this
community has done away with any
suggestion of depression, and an
era of prosperity is in sight, with
business good, farm conditions at
the top notch, and a splendid sea-
son at hand, no opportunity will be
overlooked to keep the Power City
In the public eye, and the cooper
alton of all live factors Is desired
IN the process.
Officers for the coming year were
elected as follows:
A. A. Smith, president.
John r. Jones. vice-president.
George Stoll, secretary.
II. G. Allen, treasurer.
Mr.. Stoll was reelected secretary
and his good services of the past
year were well recognized by the
