The association has reached classes
of people accessible to no other in

duties and cares of life, feel that the
advantages are not for them. Oppor-
tunitles have come too late. But hun

Middle Tennessee Railroad, near the
Williamson county line, Saturday
night.
The body of the dead man was
found in the store Sunday morning by
parties who noticed the store door be-
| ing slightly ajar. His skull was beat
en- to shapeless mass and his brains
were scattered on the floor, and his
pocket book supposed to contain be-
tween $40 and $50 in currency was
missing. There is no clue at pres
ent to the perpetrator of the foul
deed. The dead man was about for
ty years of age, unmarried, was a son
of Tom Davis, with whom he still
made his home, and had been in bus
mess at the present place several
years.
He closed his store Saturday night
about II o'clock and went to MS
home, short distance away. WITT

the Christmas market will be better.
The local produce dealers have prac-
tically finished their shipments for
the big holiday trade on Thursday.
There will go from the county to
the markets of the north and east for
the great national festive day al
most 10000 pounds of Maury county
turkeys. This includes the shipments
from Columbia and other places in
the county. This means that more
than $4,000 will come into the coun-
ty as the result of the turkey ship
ments.
Dealers declare that in spite OF
these large shipments, requiring sew
eral solid cars to move them, the tur-
key supply of the county has not been
materially affected. "We have just
about skinned the surface" said one
we'll known dealer. 1t is expected

a few minutes later, and
the failure to kick the goal left the
score at 8 to 7, which was the condi-
ton at the close of the game.
The last quarter was desperate
one for the visitors, as they undertook
to score by a series of forward pass
efforts, but in this they failed.
In the third, quarter, with the ball
in striking distance of the Lynnville
team and in their hands Thomas,
right end for Columbia, intercepted a
forward pass from the visitors, and
forgetting which goal he was defend
ing started down the field the wrong
way, and before he could be corrected
i by his own men he was at the forty
five yard line. He recovered a giod
portion of the distance before he was
thrown. But for this fiuke 1t appear
ed that the home team was entitled
to another touchdown.
Too much cannot be said for the
clean, straightforward manner IN
which the game was conducted, and
the local boys are giving much credit
, for their victory to the recent coach
, ing of Smith and Hardison. During

Sensational Story Tells How Foolis',
Men Were Fleeced.
Martin w. Farris of Princeton
Ind, who with his wife and daugh-
ters, Louise and Ora, were indicted
there on a charge of misusing the
mails in operating a matrimonial bu-
reau, Wednesday told Judge A. r.
Anderson in federal court that Louise
alone was responsible for what
Charles w. Miller, district attorney,
characterized as one of the biggest
matrimonial swindles operated in this
country
Mr.. Miller, in outlining the gov
ernment's case, declared that the
plan of the swindle was for Louise to
write letters to men who wished to
marry her. Mrs. Farris mailed the
letters, he said. Ora warned away
prospective bridegrooms and if they
became insistent the father threat
ened them. Five men who had pro-
posed to Louise arrived in Princeton
at the same time, Mr.. Miller said, and
ct times she was engaged to so men
One of the victime who sent Louise
s10O was a prominent pugilist, the
district attorney asserted.
According to Mr.. Miller there al
ways was a scramble at the Farris
home in Princeton when packages or
letters arrived and the first member
of the family to open a package Or
letter kept it's contents. Mr.. Miller
told of many prospective bridegroome
who had sent diamond bracelets, dia,
mond rings, money and railroad
tickets. Louise, who confessed her
part in the scheme, Mr.. Miller said
told him that she wrote to the dis
gruntled lovers threatening to have
them arrested for trying Ito lure a
young, innocent girl away from
kome," if return of money or jewelry
vas asked.
