While lambs and sheep have been
moving out of the county for the past
month the big movement will take
place this week The first week in
June is always the favorite time for
sending forward the lamb crop OF
Maury county and they are going this
week in great numbers. There will
be not less than $500 lambs, probably
more than that number, to be shipped
from Maury county during this week
M. E. Allen, the largest dealer OF
the county, stated this morning that
tomorrow he would ship 1000 lambs
or more and that on Saturday at least
1,500 more would go TO the markets
from this county.
Most of these lambs we're bought
from month to three months ago by
Mr.. Allen at eight cents a pound
They will easily average upwards O.

FAIR WEATHER
SAYETH DOPESTER
FARMERS MAY HAVE SOME REAL
GOOD HAVING WEATHER IN
SHORT TIME.

Emboldened by the failure of his re-
peated rain forecasts, the weather
prophet this morning took shy at
the skies and declared with every ap-
pearance of conviction, that it would
be fair tonight and tomorrow. AS
long as it is not raining when rain is
predicted, then why not forecast dry
weather and maybe the prophesy will
jibe with the facts. Evidently this
is the process by which the dopester
of the elements arrives at his conclu.
sions. Anyway wheat is getting ripe
clover is almost waiting for a favor
able chance to be made into hay and
a bit of sunshine would help the corr
crop, so here's hoping that the wealth
er artist may know what he is talk
ing about, though we doubt it.

FARMERS ARE RECEIVING SPLEEN DID THEY WILL
AVERAGE s6 PER ING INTO THE COUNTY HAND

ue OF the lambs not less than Sc per
head. This means at the low estimate
OF $500 lambs that the farmers of
the county will receive during this
week not less than $4,000 for lambs
alone. However, many old sheep will
also be shipped and they will bring
into the county quite a sum.
While the lamb crop of this coun-
ty is nothing like as large as ii has
been the loss in numberes will be
partially made up in the good prices
that will be received. Tennessee
lambs have been commanding a prem.
ium on the markets of st. Louis, Chi
cago and Louisville for several weeks.
They are held In higher esteem than
the western lambs, which ought to be
pretty good argument for their pro-
duction here in increased numbers.
In addition to the lamb and sheen
shipments many cattle and hogs WIN
go out Of the county this week.

TEACHERS ON RACK
TAKING EXAMS At
The COUNTY HIGH
NEARLY 15o PEDAGoGUEs OF
MAuRY ARE ANSWERING THE
STATE QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS STEM TO Be FAIR
Feeling of Nervousness With Which
the Task Was Approached Has Civ
en- Place to One of Optimism and
Confidence.
tuesdays Daily.l

Over ninety white teachers and half
as many colored teachers are taking
examinations at the county high
school building. The examinations
commenced on Monday morning and
will continue through today. Practi-
cally all Of the teachers of the coun-
ty are taking the examinations as
there are comparatively few who are
exempt under the rulings of the state
superintendent.
Many OF the teachers, probably a
majority, entered the examinations
with some sort of misgivings. They
were apparently afraid of catch"
questions, the whole system was new
and naturally they were a bit ner.
vous, but sfter the questions were
submitted and the examinations had
commenced this feeling gave place to
one OF optimism and confidence. As
general rule the questions sent out
by the state board of education were
pronounced eminently fair and just
and seemed to meet the appreciation
Of the teachers.
County Superintendent Graham is
as busy as bee. With nearly 100
teachers divided into two rooms, the
white separated from the colared
teachers, taking the examinations at
one and the same time the task Of
the county superintendent can be well
imagined. Naturally every precau4
tion is taken SO that answers to the
questions submitted cannot be faxed.
The papers, when the examinations
are finished, will be sent to the state
normal school at Murfreesboro there
to be graded and if the applicants
have passed their certificates will be
issued. The job of examining and
grading all of the papers is going to
be job of huge proportions.

FARMERS ANXIOUS,
FOR HAY WEATHER
MANY ARE THE INQUIRIES ABOUT
THE ELEMENTS AT HERALD
OFFICE.

That the farmers of Maury county
are anxious to get to cutting their
hay and are watching with unusual
interest the signs Of fair weather was
attested this morning by the repeat
ed telephone requests at the Office OF
The Herald for news of the weather
forecasts for the coming thirty-six
hours. In every instance when the
answer was made that His Mob, the
Imperial Wizard of the Weather
Realms had decreed a period of sun
shine, general satisfaction was ex-
pressed. 1t was noticeable, however
that not every one took as final the
word Of the official forecaster, but
there wasSa disposition upon the part
OF some to take what was said "cum
grano sails" as they used to say al
school. The fact is that the weather
prophet has suffered somewhat in the
esteem of the people of this section
during the past two years. Folks IL
,Maury county do not dislike liar
but they do expect him to lie witt
some grace.
Anyway the farmers need some
fair weather. Hay fields are alread,
over ripe and hay is mighty scarce
hence the importance of saving it all
If the next three days are fair it il
safe to say that hundreds of mowers
will be running in this county.

Two physicians worked over me from
four a. m. to 6 p. m. without giving
me any relief and then told me they

At the Isis Today.

Henry Woodruff, one of the most
popular young leading men who has
starred from the age of ten on the
legitimate stage, is largely respon-
sible for the dramatic power of the
four-part Mutual master-picture, "A
Man and His Mate" the headliner at
the Isis today. Mr.. Woodruff imper-
sonates convincingly Harry Ogden,
"the black sheep" of a wealthy New
York family, who has been sent west
to recuperate morally. Woodruff's
handling of the real crisis of the play,
when he is accused of numbering the
father of his sweetheart, is mastery.
If you know the story, or if you have
seen the play, you know what a vital,
gripping subject it is. There is
nothing more sinister than a mob
bent upon the destruction of some hui
man being life, but when you know
that the blood-thirsty crowd is going
to lynch the wrong man, you just
want to shout, to force your way
through the throng, to fight to save

CUSTOM HOUSE
At STANDST|LL
PERSONS WHO HAD BUSINESS
ON SECOND OR THIRD FLOOR
HAD SOME STAIRS TO CLIMB
WORK is PROGRESSING.

Persons who had business at the
custom house for the past several
days were required to climb the stairs,
as the elevator was not in commits
sion, and it was stated that it will be
some little time before the ''ilft' is
ready for bushes again.
Worlmen have been busy on the
second and third floors during the
past several days, and the work of
tearing out the old flooring for the
purpose of replacing it with new, has
been one of the lines which have been
keeping corps of workmen busy, so
that, unless a person has business in
the third floor, where the custom
house is situated, there is no well
come for him there.
Yesterday workmen began tearing
out the sidewalk on the south side
of the building. This walk has been
there for years, and it had hardened
like solid stone, requiring the use of
heavy sledge and sharpened pick
to remove the old, to make ready for
the new walk. One half of the curb
ing fronting the building has also
been torn up and the same material
is being fashioned for replacing. The
plans are that the curbing shall be
but a few inches above the ground
indicating that in the near future
many persons who delight to sit il
this prominent place will either have
to stand or else hunt another resting
spot.
