MAKES COUPLE
IMAM AND WIFE
ESQ. HOLT Is OUT FOR THE tt
TIE OF MARRYING J. p. OF
10TH DISTRICT.

ESQ. Cap Holt declares that his hat
is in the ring from now on, and that
the other magistrates had better look
to their laurels along the matrimonial
line. The genial justice of the peace
is getting quite a reputation as pro-
fessional tier of the matrimonial
bond. Some of them come to him in
such haste that he does not have
time to put on the proper wedding
garments, but he has to go arrayed
in whatever habiliments that he may
happen to be wearing.
Monday morning he was called out
most haste on the Pulaski pike near
McCains to say the words that nev-
err grow old and which made Walter
Whitus and Miss Nora Mcdonald, the
daughter of John Mcdonald, man and
wife. After joining them in holy
wedlock, he returned with them to
Columbia.

NEW BOARD TURNS
OVER THE KEYS
NO FURTHER QUESTION ABOUT
CONTROL OF ELECTIONS IN
COUNTY.

That the new" or Thomas election
board will make no further effort to
exercise authority in this county is
evident from the fact that on Tues
day afternoon, A. l.. Thomas, of that
organization, turned over to Maj. j.
T. Williamson, representing the legal
board of which Col James H. Kan
non is chairman, the keys to the bal
lot boxes in which the recent munic-
ipal election of Columbia was held.
1t will be recalled that following the
failure of the agreement between the
"old" and new" boards the new"
board assumed full charge of the
election and had kept the ballot box
es in custody until Tuesday. Maj.
williamson, representing the old
board, had heretofore preserved the
keys of the ballot boxes. It is alto
gether probable that the old board
will at its firts meeting restore Maj.
Williamson to his old position Of
clerk and copyist of the election
board.

olution calling upon the City Club as

tive terms to which the present Of

Attend Board Of Trade Banquet.

President John Howe Peyton, of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway, will be in Columbia
on Friday afternoon and hopes. to
meet and talk with as many farmers
of the county as possible during his
visit. Mr.. Peyton is to be the guest
of the Board of Trades banquet on
Friday night, but he will arrive at 2
o'clock in the afternoon SO that he
will have an opportunity to meet the
farmers Of the county.
Mr.. Peyton will deliver brief ad-
dress to the people at the county
court room on Friday at 2 O'Clock.
After he speaks he will hold an infor-
NAL reception when he desires to
meet and talk personally with as
many people as possible. F9
In announcing his desire to come
here Mr.. Peyton stated that he desir-
ed above all things AS president OF
his railroad to bring about the very
closest cooperation between the rail-
road and the people whom it served.
He stated that he realized that what
ever benefited the farmers of Middle
Tennessee would in the end rebound
to the interests of his company and
that he wanted to meet and talk with
the farmers and find out from them
| if they had any suggestions to make
that would help the railroad to serve

Since his election as president Mr..
Peyton has, been travelling over the
territory through which his road op-
crates in an endeavor to become bet
ter acquainted with the people and to
cultivate the most cordial relations
between the people. and the road. His
policy is meeting with the unqualified
approval of the people everywhere
and it is safe to say that If a similar
policy had been followed by the exec
utives of all transportation compa-
nies there would today exist a more
cordial feeling between the people
and the roads. u 49,

PARLOR At DEPOT.

Some burglar or thief broke in the
Shelton barber shop at the depot
Tuesday night and secured six ra-

pairs of clippers and three combs.

as it was past the closing hours. The
window was found smashed open this
morning when the store was opened

been found so far.

THE QUAIL SEASON
CLOSES SATURDAY
FEWER BIRDS GENERALLY RE
PORTED THAN HAD BEEN
EXPECTED.

With the coming of night on next
Saturday the quail season will close
in Tennessee. Hunters have not had
the most successful season during
the past two and half months as the
birds were not as plentiful as it was
expected that they would be. The
winter of last year had caused the
sportsmen to hope for big increase
of quail, but in this they were disap-
pointed. However, many have had a
good season of it and regret right
heartily that there will be no more
birds to kill until next November.

George e. McKennon, cashier of

mated by President Wilson for post
master at Columbia. The nomination
was sent to the senate by the Presi-
dent. just when the senate will act

er, Senator Lea Is quite sick and
there win doubtless be nothing done
in the matter until after he is able
to return to his duties in the senate.
Mr.. McKennon's appointment was
urged by Congressman Padgett, the
member from this district, and his
selection was not unexpected from
the reason tht it has been the custom
In the past for the President to per-
NIT the member of congress-, of the
same political faith OF the administra.
ton, to select the postmasters in his
district and especially In his own
home.

ular business man in the county than
George McKennon. Every one con.
cedes his eminent qualifications for
the place. He has been one of the
most successful business men in the
city. He was one Of the founders OF
THE old mercantile firm of McKennon
Anderson & Foster, the predecessor
Of Anderson Bros. & Foster. Nearly
five years ago he became the first
cashier of the Columbia Bank & Trust
Company, position that he still
holds. Mr.. McKennon has indicated
that he will accept the Office and just
as soon as his nomination is confirm.
ed by the senate he will doubtless as.
isume the duties Of the place.
Mr.. McKennon's ability, his eminent
business qualifications, his high in
tegrity and his personal popularity all
combine to make him especially fitted
for the place to. which he has been
named. Since Mr.. Padgett announc.
ed some time ago that he would rec.
ommend Mr.. McKennon he has re-
ceived scores of letters approving his
choice. . a
Mr.. McKennon's retirement from
the bank will leave the place Of cash
Ter vacant but some announcement
of his successor will doubtless be
made as soon as the senate acts upon
his nomination.
This appointment Of postmaster is
the juciest plum in Mr.. Padgett's dis
trict, the office paying an annual sal
ary of $4,000.

There are ninety-six hands on the

of Clay Hight, secretary of the Maui
ry county road commission Monday
afternoon. This is nearly twice the
number that has ever been at work
on the roads of the county at any pre-

In the course of an interview he
stated that they were doing fine work
and that the pike was being rapidly
built toward the Marshall county line
from Thomas mill near Glendale. II
the weather were only bit more IA
vorable the road could be built much
faster.
OF the ninety-six who we're doing
work for the county, no less than six.

up by the officers and scat out to dc
short terms. They are not extra
. workers, as many of them are weak
and feeble, and are not accustomed
to the hard, heavy work that has to
be done on road. There are eight
or nine women in the list, who are do
ing duty on the rock pile for various
misdemeanors. Two Of them were
arrested for vagrancy, one or two
were sent out for bootlegging, while
the rest were convicted on multi
plicity Of charges. ~.
Secretary Hight stated that there
were really only about twenty-five
first class hands on the roads. These
are able bodied men who are able to
handle pick and shovel all day long
The others, as stated above, are soft
and cannot do the heavy work al
