FIRST DEED EVER EXECUTED TO
EIGHTY ACRES MAURY COUNTY LAND
WILL BE GIVEN MR. AND MRS JOE CREWS TO j. T. McAlL
THE PROPERTY HAVING BEE GRANTED BY STATE TO
GRANDFATHER OF eRANToRs HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

The Herald is the favorite of all adj
vertising mediums. 1t shows the good
judgment of Mr. Figuers by buying
literally of the papers space. 1t
also indicates the growing popularity
of this hustling real estate firm.
This eighty acres of land probably
cannot be surpassed in all of the dim
pie of the universe" Every year but
one a field along the bottom of Foun-
tain Creek has been continuously
planted in corn. In spite of the disas-
trous drouth of last year this land
made an average yield of eleven bar
rels of corn to the acre. The crop
this year is conservatively estimated
at fifteen barrels to the acre. These
facts show that 1t is mighty hard to
wear out" Maury county lands.

When the deed from Mr.. and Mrs.

mark the first transfer for these lands

Reports from the revenue commits
sioners, the Jail committee, the COM
mittee on pauper burial ground, the
election of live stock commissioner
and of revenue commissioners, will
be features of the meeting CT the
county court in quarterly session on
Monday.
Three revenue commissioners for a
term of two years will be elected
The present commissioners are Mai
John T. Williamson, Thomas B. For

Whether or not all of them will be
candidates for reelection is not known
but if they are there will probably be
no opposition, although Ashley B.
Sowell, secretary of the Board of
Trade, it is understood, would not be
averse to election on the commission.
The Kings Daughters apprcpria-
ton for the hospital will again come
before the court. At the April term
an allowance of 500 per month was
made for the hospital, but because of
the fact that the application was not
filed thirty days before the Teeting
of the court the appropriation was
heldNto be void. The request asks for
an appropriation until the end of the
calendar year as provided in the spec
ial act of the recent legislature.
For live stock inspector Bert Err

He has served in this office for more
than a year and has given general sat

The various committees will make
the usual reports and there will be

coming of pleasure bent joy riders in
their Packards and Pierce-Arrows.
Each of the quartet was assigned
to catch the numbers of the cars as
they passed. These numbers, which
were always in five figures, were the
hands Of the party. When four Of the
machines had passed, they compared
their hands.
