Again from Columbia, Maury
county, the home of the sanity Her
aid, was sent out Tuesday the item
that Bob Braden, of near Lynnville,
was killed last night at Mt. Pleasant
and George Owen is under arrest
charged with the murder"
The Herald has never denied that
there was crime in Maury county, en-
tirely too much of it, Our record
should be better. But this paper has
never apologized for the criminals nor
opposed the enforcement of all the
laws. 1t has never by word or deed
countenanced the defiance of the
laws. Therein lies the great differ.

FARMERS STATIONERY.

Every farmer who owns hundred
acres of land or more ought TO have
printed stationery, with his name and
the name of his farm and the postof-
ce address properly given. The print
ed headings should also give the
names Of whatever crops he spcial-
ICES on, and Of whatever variety OF
seed or whatever breeds of hogs, cat
tie OF poultry he keeps. Printed sta
tionery gives you standing with what
ever person or firm you are writing
to and gives you q new dignity be-
sides insuring that your name and adj
dress will always be given properly
and in full.
Moreover, such printed stationery
increases your credit. A prominent
advertiser wrote one of our readers
the other day saying: I'VE usually
require cash with order for all our
goods, but we have found that it pays
to trust man who uses printed sta
tionery as you do; SO we are ship

Even ii you use postal cards, buy

Get the habit Of using printed sta
tionery the next time you 60 to town,
why not drop into one Of the job

1000 sheets of printed note paper
and 1000 envelopes to match? 1t will

REMOVES BEARD,
is HARD TO KNOW

Friends of Dr. Merritt B. Smiser,
at Culleoka, well known to all as he
is in that country, hardly recognized
him on Tuesday when, for the first
time since he reached mans estate,
he appeared sans beard or whiskers
or mustache. While Dr. Smiser's IA
cial adornment is not so well known
to fame as that of Senator Jim Ham
Lewis, folks have so long connected
him and his whiskers as one and the
same that his appearance without any
beard was rather a shock.

HUMANE SOCIETY
CHARTER APPLIED
FOR N COLUMBIA
WILL BE RECEIVED IN A FEW
DAYS AND REGULAR oRGANl-
ZATloN AFFECTED.
WILL APPLY TO TIE COUNTY

Columbia and Maury county will
have local branch of the National
Humane Society.
Five citizens of the city, J. M. Ded-
man, J. M. Dedman, Jr., w. s. Flem-
ing, Jr., R. L. Taylor, Jr., and Hugh
L. Webster have applied 10 the Sec
rotary Of state for charter which
will doubtless be issued at once.
The purpose of the organization is
the enforcement of that section of the
code of the state that is intended for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
This has been under consideration for
some time and the necessity for such
an organization has become more and
more apparent.
The society when chartered and
organized Hereunder, will be cock
tensive with the county, and the mead
offices will be in the city.
The step is creditable one and
will doubtless meet with the, approx
al of the public generally, and all cit
liens should cooperate in the pre-
vention of cruelty. There is a law
to prevent it, and the man or men
who will not stop short of cruelty
to dumb brutes without legal restraint
should be met with that restraint.
The charter will be received in a
day or two and when 1t arrives regu-
lar organization will be affected. of
ficers chosen and public announce
ments made regarding the purposes
and general work of the society.
