PEACH CROP THIS
YEAR THE FINEST IN
DECADE OR MORE
PRICES HAVE BEEN so LOW
THAT LARGE QUANTITIES
WERE CANNED.
BEFORE SUGAR SCARED SO HIGH
Elbertas Were Most BountifuI-Larae,
Sound and But Few Had Flaws In
Them-Pantrys of County Filled
With Cans for This Winter.

The peach crop of Maury county
this year has been the most boun-
teous in decade or more. Not in
many, many years has there been a
finer sample.
I The crop has been so bountiful thai
the price of the fruit has been much
lower than it usually is. At the first
OF the season some peaches sold as
high as $3.50 per bushel. They grad
ually reduced this figure to 81 per
bushel and the latter part of the sea-
son, when there were so many, they
could be bought as cheap as fifty
cents for four pecks. This was at
such a price that every housewife in
Maury county could afford to buy
them and can them for eating during
the winter.
/ One of the best things about can
ming them was that the sugar for this
purpose was bought before the war
price on it set in. All of the sugar
for the early crop was bought at five
cents or less per pound. This will
make them about the cheapest food
that will be eaten this fall and win.
ter. ..-.
Elbertas have been the finest that
have ever been seen here. Many of
them were as large as two fists, but
few of them were faulty in the least,
while the great majority were as
sound as brand new dollar. There
were also many clingstone peaches
that were extra fine both for eating
and canning purposes.
The pantrys of this county won't
lack for plenty of fruit this winter.
There may be war prices on sugar,
-four, meal and other necessities, but
they won't affect the price on peach
es, apples and other fruits, for ont in
many, many years, as has been said
above, has there been such a fruit
year as the present one.

NERS THIS SEASON..

This season has been a fine racing
year for the get of Directs Star, who
is owned by w. M. Tolley, of this
city. He has four which are cam
Ipaigning on the circuits of the coun.
try. They are Flower Direct, I Am A
Star, Mamie Direct, and Dick Direct
Flower Direct is the same steady
mare that she was last season. She
has been on the Grand Circuit, but
lis at present making the round or
the half mile tracks, where she has
been sweeping everything before
her. She is being piloted by Ben
Whitehead.
Dick Direct has been a very con
sistent performer. He has been six
times at the head OF the summaries
this season, and once in second
place. He has won a pot of money
for his owner.
l Am A Star made her first start oi
the year recently and took her field
into camp with but little trouble
She did not have to extend helself.
Mamie Direct is a mare of a sen
sational turn of speed. She won
second money last week, driving out
the winner in 2:06A on a two laI
track. This is equivalent to about
2:05 on a mile track.
Before the season Is over there
will be doubtless others by Directs
lStar which will get records. He is
young as yet, but has several colts
in training which will be heard from
before the frost falls.

SISTER OF POPE IS
DEAD FROM GRIEF
OF HER BROTHER
PONTlFF'S PASSING RENDERED
MORE SAD BY DEATH OF
SISTER ANNA.
AT his BEDSIDE In SICKNESS
ConcIave to Elect New Pope Will Be
Held in Rome Early in September.
Cloudy Skies Made 1t Appear Ma
ture Mourned Pope's Demise.

ROME, Aug. 21.-The body of Pope
Plus X, who died yesterday morning,
had been laid out in state for thous-
ands to view. The pathos of his pass
ing has been accentuated by the
death of his sister, Anna. Always
she was at his bedside in times of
sickness, and she was kneeling near
him when he breathed his last.
The sister was assisted from the
room and collapsed soon afterwards.
DR.. Amici attended her, but alarming
symptoms developed, with high fever,
from which she did not rally.
The day broke cloudy and heavy
after exquisitely clear skies. 1t
seemed as though nature was in
mourning for the pope, most beloved
by the people of Rome.
Around the vatican many gathered.
The great doors were half closed, and
those who mourned spoke in whis-
pers. Within the vatican prepara-
tions were in progress for the sim
pie funeral ceremonies and for the
holding of the conclave for the elec-
ton of new pope.
1t is expected that the conclave
will be held early in September, even
though all the cardinals are not in
Rome. The new pope will be the
first pontiff elected without the veto
previously accorded foreign powers,
as one of the first acts of Plus X was
to suppress this privilege of centu-
ries, although he owed his own elec-
tion to it.
The cardinals met at the vatican
this afternoon. All wore violet capes
as a sign of mourning. Cardinals
Della Voilpe and Merry del Val went
to the pope's apartments to affix seals
ON the late pontiff's private papers
and belongings. The chamberlain
took possession of the fisherman's
ring which was renewed when Pope
Leo died, the old fsherman's ring
having ben lost at that time.
Cardinal Della Volpe installed him
self in the vatican, occupying the
apartment of papal secretary of state,
who has removed to the Saneta Maria
house behind the vatican, where Car
dinal Rampolla lived and died.

/, FLETCHER FAR|SS
LONG PROMINENT IN
COUNTY AFFAIRS, DEAD
END COMES TO ONE OF THE
WELL KNOWN REPUBLICAN
LEADERS.
LONG Held PUBLIC OFFICES
Twice Elected Trustee of Maury
County, Twice Appointed Postmas
ter Of Columbia and Twice Named
as Member of County Court.

Hugh Fletcher Farlss, one of the
best known citizens of Maury county,
prominent in the public life for more
than thirty years, died at his home
on South Main street at $50 o'clock
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Fariss has
been in quite poor health for several
months. Recently he began to fail
rapidly and for the past four or five
days no hope whatever had been en-
tertained for his recovery. His life
held by the narrowest thread for the
past two days and death was momen-
tarily expected.
Mr.. Fariss was a member of one
Of the oldest families in Maury coun-
ty and was born in Hampshire in No
vember, 1899, and was therefore in
the seventy-fifth year of his age.
When the war between the states
commenced Mr.. Fariss' sympathies,
as well as that of the other members
of the family, were decidedly with
the union and after the war was over
he joined the republican party, con.
tinuing his allegiance to that organ
ization until the hour of his death.
Few men have ever lived in the
county who had stronger hold upon
the affections of the people than Mr..
Fariss. Regardless If political affili-
ations he was always popular. In
1882 he was elected trustee of the
county in one of the most notable
races in the county's annals. In
April, 1884. he was appointed post
master at Columbia by President
Chester A. Arthur and served in that
office for four years. He resigned as
trustee, but in 1888 was again elect.
ed to that office, serving for two
years. He had the distinction of be-
ing the last republican ever elected
to county Office in Maury county.
In July, 1897, Mr.. Fariss was again
appointed postmaster by President
Mckinley and he served for five
years. In 1906 Mr.. Fariss was elect
ed as justice of the peace for the city
of Columbia and two years ago he

HORSE WAS FOUND
IN OLD KENTUCKY
NEWT HOOD ESTABLISHES OWN.
ERSHIP OF STEED TAKEN
BY HORSE THIEF.

Newt Hood was the owner of the
horse about which the sheriff Of
Franklin, KY, wrote to Sheriff Claude
Goodwin. And thereby hangs a pretty
story of thievery, which would have
done credit to Ali Baba and his band
of forty thieves, or to John Murrell,
who once upon time operated
through this section.
The Nashville pike was the scene
Of his operations. He started at the
barn of Robert Moore, where he
stopped to make a raid and get a
saddle, blanket and bride. These
he carried to the next farm, which is
owned by Newt Hood, where he en-
tered the barn and selected a steed
to his liking. Saddling it, he rode
as far as the farm of William Cheairs,
at which he decided that a buggy
would be more comfortable than a
saddle Thereupon he unhesitating-
ly went IN and hltched his purlolned
steed to the best conveyance that he
saw Thence he made his way to
Franklin, Ky, where he was round
ed up by the sheriff and thrown into
Jail. When confronted by the own
ers of the property, he confessed.
This is not the first time that he
has been convicted Of horse thievery.
On two previous occasions he has
served sentences. AS the law of
Kentucky provides that third Of
fender shall be sentenced to a life
term for this charge, he will not be
brought back to this state, but will
be left there to pay the penalty.
