Another of those sudden changes

are very suggestive Of the plains OF

twenty.four hours, when the Their

forty degrees. On Tuesday morning
there was pouring rain and the mer-

mercury marked temperature Of
twenty degrees with a cold, piercing
north wind blowing making the
morning one of the coldest of the win,

in the Temperature. 1t ID probable
that within six or eight hours the
drop was twenty-five or more de.

three degrees an hour. This winter
has made record for sudden drops
in temperature. While there has
been very little extreme cold during
the winter, 1t has been disagreeable
owing to the sudden changes from un

PROMOTION FOR EACH MAN
New Man in Columbia VIII Move
His Family From oulfport About
April 1--Hayes Will Leave at Once

There was a change in the South

when L. 0. Hayes, who has been in
charge during the past four years,
stepped down and out and e. l..
Hughes stepped in.
Mr.. Hayes came here from Evans
Vile on transfer by the company
and has given entire astisfaction dur

it is with regret that he Is to leave

MT. PLEASANT HAS
ABANDONED THE new
COUNTY PROPOSITION
TOO MANY DIFFICULTIES WE'RE
MET TO CONTINUE IN FIGHT
FOR SAME.
NO REPRESENTATION THURSDAY
Phosphate City Did Not Like the Idea
Of Being Deprived Of the Records
in Case of a Joint Court Which
Was Proposed.

Information comes from Mt Pleas
ant that the new county proposition
has been abandoned, as it was expect
ed that it would be when the real
pinch came. There were so many
things that made it impossible that
even the residents of the phosphate
city quailed. The principal trouble
seemed that there was decidedly
more opposition right in the town of
Mt. Pleasant and the surrounding Sec
tion than was anticipated by the orig
inal promoters. The line as surveyed
divided the town nearly in half and
many of those on the Maury county
side could see no good in such con-
dition and they were opposed TO 1t.
Many of the citizens of the county
who own farms were of the opinion
that their property would depreciate
| IL transferred to Lewis county. and
they opposed the move without say
| ing but little about 1t.
The people of the northern end
middle portion Of Lewis county show
ed a disposition to oppose the propo
sition on account Of the distance re
quired to reach the court house
should the change be made.
At the meeting at Mt Pleasant last
week the Hohenwald representatives
developed new idea for the county
advocates when they suggested the
joint court house. This appeared t
lappease the court house desire Of the
Mt Pleasant representatives IN thu
Injecting, until an Investigation prov
ed that the records would be kept a
Hohenwald, and would be even more
troublesome than the present situa
ton Of having to come to Columbi,
Ito the court house.
| Another discouraging feature wa
the fact that under the opposition
THAT had developed it was regarded a
livery doubtful If resolution or bill
Ifavoring the matter could be passes
lby the legislature.
i The Saturday meeting appointed
committee to draft proposition of
satisfactory nature for the northern
portion of Lewis county, for the meet
ing called for Thursday, But thi
will not be done and no represents
ton will be sent from Mt. Pleasan. t

The criminal docket as set for the
coming term of circuit court which

cases.
There are five murder cases docket
ed for trial, but 1t is more than prob

attempt to commit murder in the
first degree on the docket and ex.
pected to come up for hearing. Four
cases of grand larceny and a number
Of others not important.
Outside Of the murder cases per.
haps the most interest Is centered in
the case Of the state against Harvey
Bishop and r. H. L. Rambo, charged
with conspiracy in restraint. The
specific charges are that the defend
ants undertook to control the poultry
market here and at other places near
by.
The next most interesting case il
that against T. L. Cunningham, for
merly manager of the H. @. Hill Gro

/ improper exposure Of fruit, In viola
ton Of the pure food laws Of the
state. State Food and Drug Inspec

SHORTAGE COMES FROM THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE COUNTY.
RAISING CATTLE in THEIR PLACE
Favorable Weather Conditions Have
Maintained SO Far.-But Few
Easter Lambs on Account Of the
Extra Early Date.

There is ever indication that the
lamb crop of Maury county will be
a satisfactory one. The prospects
at the present are perhaps better
than they have ben for several years
regarding the character of the stock.
The number of lambs, however, will
not equal some years in the recent
past, being perhaps twenty per cent
short. This shortage will be mostly
noticed in the Southern section Of
the county where many Of the farm
ers have abandoned sheep raising,
and have gone into raising cattle.
ebing attracted by the advanced
prices during the past two yeara
The number Of shep from the ether
sections of the county appear to be
about what they have been In the
past, and raisers and dealers say
that the grade Of the shipments this
season will be of the very finest Ii
the favorable weather conditions
continue. There will be but few
Easter lambs, ON account of the
early Easter this year, 1t falling on
March 20, several weeks earlier than
last year, and being the earliest for
several years.
Sheep raising offers opportunities
that are exceedingly attractive. They
are easily kept, subsisting on weeds
and vegetation Of different char
acters TIT other stock win not eat.
and the limb always comes In at o
time when the farmers, as q usual
thing is In need Of some ready money,
but the advance in the price Of cat.
tie, and the severe winters which
killed large number of the early
lambs which command the fancy
prices, has caused a number Of farm.
ers to sell out their entire focks and
make their investments In cattle for
feeding and raising. And notwith'
standing the extra good cattle prices
some of these farmers say the re
turns are not so satisfactory as that
of the same investment In sheep, and
they will again be found with a focs
of sheep another year.
