PART OF FRUIT
CROP WAS SAVED
ONLY ON THE LOW LANDS THAT
THE PEACHES WERE DAM
AGED SERIOUSLY.

Richard A. Wilkes, of Culleoka,
who was in the city Monday, said that
he had made a thorough examination
in the past few days of the fruit crop
and that it was a mistake to think
that it was all killed by the recent
cold snap and freeze. He stated that
even the peach crop, about which
there was the most uneasiness, was
only partially ruined by the frost and
cold. On the uplands, there was a
good crop and it is only on The low
lands that there is any serious dam
age to the buds. Mr.. Wilkes predicts
that unless a frost or cold snap comes
later in the season, there will be a
big fruit crop this year. This will be
joyful news to the farmers and house
wives, who depend upon it as part
of their living.

held on the day following at Spring
Hill. He will have about Is that he
will sell Coming on two successive
days, they will be advertised al over
the South, and 1t is expected that
BREEDERS and Jersey fanciers from all
sections will be here.
The creamery industry has grown
by leaps and bounds in the past year
or two, and the supply is not able to
meet the demands that are made. AS
an instance, a creamery man was in
the city this week from Franklin and
wants two hundred gallons per day
for his plant. Williamson county Is
not able to supply their needs, and
they are going to have to come to
Maury for the milk to run it.
The sale will be extensively adver-
tised. The promoters feel that the
Jersey business is on boom In this
county, and they are going to do
their best to foster it and restore it
to the plane and position that 1t once
held.

HANDICAPPED
This Is the Case With Many Column
bia People.

Too many Columbia citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis-
cry, making work burden and
STOPPING or lifting and impossibility.
The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morning
is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause if the kidneys are
weak. To eliminate the pains and
aches of kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
Doans Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys-thousands testify to their
merit. Can you doubt Columbia evil
dence?
e. e. Notgrass, Is N. Embargo ST.,
Columbia, Tenn, says: Il suffered
from backache and weak kidneys
and nothing, ever helped me as much
as Doan's idney Pills, which got
at Adams & Martins Drug Store,
(now) H. B. Adams Drug Store.
They restored me to good health in
short time"

simply ask for kidney remedy

BUTTER MARKET
TAKES SLUMP

Sad news for the woman on the
farm. Just when old Bess and the
other COWS are beginning to pour
down milk and make butter for the
market, comes the news that butter

only ten cents per pound. The mar.
ket Is said to be in a demoralized
state as a result of the importation
of foreign butter.
