WILL BE HELD AT THE COURT

HIGH NOON.

Every Jersey breeder and owner in
Maury county is called to meet in the
county court room Monday, March /,
at noon. The meeting is called by
Hugh L. Webster, Esq, secretary Of
the Middle Tennessee Jersey Breed
ers' Association.
The purpose and object of the
meeting is to get out a creditable rep
resentation of Jerseys for the first
Monday in April, one month later. It
is the intention of Esq. Webster to
get out very much larger number Of
Jerseys at the show than year ago.
He is very anxious that every Jersey
man in the county be present, and
be prepared to give the number OF
entries that he can make in the rings.

THIRTY JACKS Of
MAURf COUNTY TO
GO THE FAR EAST
SCORE AND A HALF OF FAMOUS
PRODUCT BOUGHT BY BRIT
ISH AGENTS.
FOR SHIPMENT TO CEYLON
Shipment Will Represent a Total Val
uation of Over ,000-Selected
Animals Here After Looking. Over
Wide Section of Territory.

Awaiting shipment on cars are
thirty Maury county jacks sold by
Watson Brothers, the big jack dealers
of this section, to the British govern
ment. These thirty jacks represent
more than $16,50O, the average price
received being between $3.50 and $500
per head They will be shipped from
here to New Orleans from which port
they will be taken to Ceylon, in the
British possessions of the far East.
This is probably the largest con-
signment of jacks ever shipped from
Columbia. These animals will go to
the eastern possessions of the British
empire where they will be used for
breeding mules. Representatives OF
the English government have been in
this section for the past two or three
weeks. They have looked over jacks
in various parts of the country and it
is quite a compliment to Maury coun-
ty and Watson Bros that the jacks
here were finally selected.
The representatives of the English
government first came here, looked al
bunch of Watson's jacks and then
left. Later they returned and closed
the deal. Every jack was subjected
to thorough veterinary examination
made by the official veterinarian of
the British government Every posi-
bic test was made of the animals be-
fore they we're bought. There were
four in the party who made the exam
nations.
Only the medium sized jacks were
purchased, both the extra large and
the small being rejected. Their ages
run from four to seven years.
