About The
Bread Question.

The people of Hickman are us
ing all the time more and more
bakers bread. And the women
are quite right about it. Keep
out of the hot kitchen all you
can. ! say. I'VE BEEN THERE.
There is fully ten times rs
much bakers bread sold in Hick
man now, 10 what was sold here
a few years ago. As bread is
said to be the staff, of life, 1t
figures pretty big in the cost OF
living. and if you are paying too
much for it, II follows that II Is
largely responsible for YOUR
HIGH COST of living.
I'm always on the lookout for
a saving proposition for my Gus
toners. This isn't philanthropic,
please. It's to my interest, too.
SO, last week when | got hold OF
sample of a round, sandwich
loaf of bread put up in a big city,
made in an up-to-date sanitary
factory, under official inspection,
said, my customers must have
this.

but they told me they were only
making il for their city trade,
particular people, they said. Well
now, didn I that rifle met As If
anything was too good for MY
customers.
persuaded them to let me
have it, though, and the first
shipment should be in Thursday
morning. and then every day
This loaf will sell at five cents,
same AZ the other round loaf
sold in town, but there S this diff.
ference: our round loaf weighs
full twelve ounces, the other
round loaf sold in town weighs
but nine 10 ten ounces. Now, 10
figure this out means that -
buy the same amount of bread
We sell you for one dollar you
will have TO buy one dollar and a
quarters worth of the other fe,-
lows round loaf Some differ
ence, isn't itl Then weigh the
other fellows ten cent cream loaf
Looks big, but il weighs only 10
ounces. Our 10 cents loaf weighs
- ounces. So that one dollars
worth of our bread would cost
you a dollar aud half if yod

And ours is the better bread.

type of light recommended was adopt
ed that the city would get twenty
per cent more light at less cost. Mr..
Frakes was requested to get figures
on the cost of the material, which es-
Inmates would be submitted to the
board of mayor and aldermen. The
committee on the white way was con-
tinued until the next meeting.
The board failed to act upon the
resolution recently adopted by the
county court in the interest of free
turnpikes. The resolution was dis
cussed at length, but nothing definite
was decided on, and action was defer
red until some future time.

EIGHTH DISTRICT MEMBER CAME
VERY NEAR BEING CITIZEN
OF MAURY.

Did you know that Thetus Will

Der who is talking about running for
the senate, came very near moving
to Columbian" remarked Edwin
Hughes, former postmaster of Mt.
Pleasant, to party OF friends this
morning. well, it is fact that he
did. He went so far that he rented
a cottage, afterwards known as the
Arch Hughes cottage, from my father,
the late Col. A. M. Hughes, for a
term of one year. Mr. Sims was then
living as he is now at Linden, In Per-
ry county. That was thirty years ago
He made all of his arrangements to
come to Columbia, but for some rea-
son at the last moment reconsidered
and changed his decision. My father
often said that the years rent that
he collected from Sims for a house
that the latter never occupied was
the only money that he ever received
for which he did not give some quid
pro quo. Suppose Sims had moved.
to Columbia and practiced law here,
would he ever have gone to congress?
That opens a nice field for academic
discussion and would be just as prof
liable as discussion of what the his
tory of this country would have been
had all Lees plans at Gettysburg
been carried out"

SCHOOL MATE OF
PRESIDENT WILSON
PROF. w. r. MOORE ATTENDED
SAME SCHOOL OVER THIRTY
YEARS AGO.

Prof. W. R. Moore, of San Angelo,
Texas, one of the best known educa-
! tors OF that section, is here visiting
relatives and friends. Mr.. Moore was
school mate of President Woodrow
Wilson, having attended Davidson
College North Caroline with the fu-
ture president in 1874. Mr.. Wilson
was freshman during Mr.. Moore S
final year. During the session Prof.
Moore was chosen the school orator.

he has worn with pride ever since.
Prof. Moore was born and reared
in this county, and taught here for
several years after which he moved
to West Tennessee where he also
taught Nine years ago he went to
Texas where he has since resided. He
is a brother of former Representative
Newt Moore, of Obion county, one of
the pillars of the prohibition move
ment in Tennessee. While in this
county he is the guest of his cousin,
Mrs. Milton E. Allen.
Prof. Moore's father was the found.

factor in the upbuilding of the Bap-
fist church on Knob creek. Although
ne has been away from the county
for many years Prof. Moore knows
all of the older citizens and has re.
ceived quite warm reception since
he arrived in the county.
Mr.. Moore said this morning that
he had not seen President Wilson in
recent years, that, however, he had
heard from him. When the President
was candidate three years ago Prof.
Moore was loyal supporter and
wrote an appreciation for his county
paper. This was sent to President
Wilson and the latter wrote a person
al letter of thanks and appreciation.
1t is needless to say that Prof. Moore
holds the very highest admiration for
the President.

MEETING Of BOARD

STRONG RESOLUTION
DECLARES ITS DISAPPRoVAL OF
ALLEGED DEFECTIVE CoNDI-

CITY SHOULD ACQUIRE PLANT
White Way Committee Recommends
the Installation by Merchants of SIS
Unit System of Lighting-No Ac.
ton Taken on Question of Pixies.

The feature of the meeting of the
Board of Trade Tuesday night was
the unanimous adoption Of resolu'
ton declaring that the citizens of Co.
lumbia should have pure drinking
water instead of that which is at pres
ent used The resolution states in
bold terms that the health of the cit
liens is being jeopardized, if not iIri,
paired, as the result of the compul.
sorry consumption of water as now
furnished by the Columbia Water &
Light Company. The resolution ap.
proved the action of the board of
mayor and aldermen in their present
fight for the betterment of conditions
The text of the resolution follows:
Whereas, it appears that the health
Of the citizens of Columbia is being
jeopardized, if not impaired, as a re,
suit of compulsory consumption OF
water that is being furnished by the
Columbia Water & Light Co., with
system that is void of alteration. Hav.
ing the best interests of the city Of
Columbia as primary considerations
and having obtained expressions
from many of its citizens such as
would indicate a disapproval of the
service given by the Columbia Water
& Light Co., it becomes this board
to register such complaint for atten.
ton. Therefore,
Be it resolved, That this organiza-
ton approves the action of the board
of mayor and aldermen in it's effor,
to correct the system and recon-
mends that such action be augmented
to the extent of fastening a better
system of water works that will pro-
duce water tolerable for domestic use
Be it further resolved, That this
board cooperate with the board of
mayor and aldermen in it's contention
that the Columbia Water & Light Co.
is liable to the city for filtered water
and in the event that this contention
is denied by the said Columbia Wa
ter & Light Co., that this board will
approve the city's procedure in ac-
quiring new plant with the APPROX
al of majority of the citizens of Co.
