FRANKLIN, Tenn, Jan. 21.-Every
week brings some new and interest.
ing developments in the plan for a

sure the success of the enterprise.

civil districts have been appointed to

street, out Eighth to High and up
High to West Seventh and thence on
out West Seventh to the Mt. Pleasant
pike to the Arsenal where the judg-
ing was held and then back to the
city by the Hampshire pike. AS the
last vehicle was entering the Arsenal
grounds the first, or leading vehicle
was ent ering the public square, max.
ing the parade more than a mile long.
1t is also proposed to have horse
show in connection with the flower pa
rade, but this opposed by some, in
sisting that the first Monday in April
shsould not be overlooked and should
be perpetuated as the great horse
show day in Columbia.
This can be made the greatest day
of the year and with little work on
the part of the ladies who make the
flowers and little hustling on the
part Of the business men to raise the
money to offer as premiums the
scheme can be put over and the 1900
event repeated with great deal more
grandeur The Board of Trade will
get behind the matter and will en-
deavor to have a moving picture ma
chine here for the purpose of putting
the parade on film, which would be
advertised all over the country

event DR.. w. P. Woodbridge was one
of the leading spirits and was the

the success of the entertainment was
John P. McGaw. The efforts of these
two men assisted by their able aides
and the enthusiastic and artistic wo-
men of the town and county made this
event memorable in the county's hfs

In the parade were floats, decorat-

BOSTON, Jan. 21.-Frank E. Lakey
Of the commercial department of the
English High School has been inves-
tigating the hour of the day, the
month of the year and the year of
their youth when boys and girls are
at their best-or worst-mentally and
physically. He says that parents
should make their appeals to boys at
10 o'clock in the morning any day in
January or early in February and
when the youth has reached the age
of sixteen The net results in mental
and physical improvement will be
greater than any other time chosen,
he says.
Four o'clock in the afternoon should
be avoided, he says, as we'll as the
months of March, April and October,
for boys and girls are at their worst
and physically at that time.
The best boy is at his maximum at 10
and II in the morning and at the cor
hour in the evening. The
best boy is at his minimum at and
4 in the afternoon. The mental life

The suggestion made by Senator

make a capital congressman, no one
who knows the man will question
For one, l do not hesitate to say that
I believe it is his duty to become a
candidate, because the public appar-
emily desires his service in this post
ton. 1t is Just like Mr.. Lovingood
says, "he is a man who does things
And this reminds me of a speech Dr..
McBrayer made in introducing Mr..
Shipman to an AsheviIle audience last
summer, which ran something like
this:
Years ago, when the people of

they desired a newspaper established
