| The feature Of the June meeting Of
the Columbia Board Of Trade was the
address by DR.. B. w. Murphy, the
federal expert in charge of the hog
cholera work in Maury county. In
spite of the exceedingly hot weather
/ there was good attendance present
Much interest in the success of the
work was manifested, and after the
completion of the address, DIR. Muir
ply was piled witch questions by
those who were in attendance.
DIR. Murphy illustrated his talk by
means Of large black board, which
had been brought into the circuit
court room for the purpose. He gave
statistics showing the prevalency of
cholera and the means by which its
spread could be checked. He gave
an interesting resume of the work
that he had just completed in Pettis
county, Missouri. He told how the
number Of hogs in that county had
been greatly increased by the applica-
ton Of the methods prescribed by the
federal government for the proven
ton Of hog cholera and the inocula-
ton Of hogs with the serum. Tais
serum, which is manufactured at the
Ames, Iowa, experiment station, and
which is sold to private owners, will
not cost the hog men Of Mauly coun-
ty cent. The hogs will even be in
oculated with it free of charge. He
explained that all that was wanted
was the cooperation and support Of
the farmers of the county in the
work. ALI cases Of cholera must be
reported to him or to his assistants
in the court house. They must be
treated and the sources Of infection
removed.
The address Of DR., Murphy was
thoroughly interesting and iustruc-
tive. 1t was free of all technical
terms, and replete with information
about the treatment of the disease
that has been so expensive to the
farmers Of Maury county.
In addition to the speech Of DR..
Murphy, which was cordially approx
ed, the members Of the board went
on record as being solidly behind the
movement, inauguratei by Messrs.
Carpenter and Howard, to build an
electric line from Columbia to Frank
lin. Every one was for the liue, and
several Of the speakers expressed
themselves to the effect that it
would mean much to the city. They
were especially in favor Of the Spring
Hill route.

show they are not disappointed; rather
surprise is expressed at the seeming,
unending display of good things shown
in this sumptuous production. Mr.. Tay-
Tor has contributed some of the best
comedies of the past 20 years; in fact,
he has never had n failure, due to his
keen judgment in reading and select
in plays and his knowledge of the
peoples likes and dislikes, and all his
skill as a wizard of stagecraft has
been concentrated on this riot of fun
and beauty. A cast seldom found in

His mode of procedure has been to
pick out homes where he felt safe in

self as an inspector sent out to look

his plan worked and where it didn't he
managed TO make a graceful retreat.
Finally. however. he tackled the
