ed, be an easy matter, to secure.
The largest subscription made was
one for $1,000 given by DR.. w. w.
Cant, Of Shelbyville, whose previous
generosity had already made possi-
Bile the purchase of the farm for the
home. DR.. S. T. Hardison, of Lewis
burg, the father of DR.. Roy Hardison,
OF this city, gave $500. Will Fox, of
Lewisburg, gave another $500, and
that sum was also given by Mr.. Fow.

$6,SO0.
There were a number of S10O and
$50 and $25 and even smaller sub
scriptions, the total being one of
the largest sums ever raised for any
purpose at one time by any institu-
tion in Maury county. Effective work
in securing the subscriptions was
done by Rev. ]. B. Cheek, of this city,
one of the speakers, who told elo-
quently Of the splendid work that
was being done by the home.
In the report of the meeting Of the
trustees on Tuesday, it should have
been stated that $1,000 per month
was expended for the support of the
home and for the farm expenses, in
stead of $1,000 per annum.

criticism OF the primitive" meth.
od OF keeping the financial records
OF the city and also the manner in
which the sinking fund has beenI
handled are probably the outstanding
features of the report of the Cameron
audit under the direction of the tax
payers committee which appears in
The Herald today. The auditor states
that owing to the lack of time there
was not that verification of all of the
items that he would like to have
made and all of the thirteen questions
OF the taxpayers, for the same rea.
son, are not answered.
Members of the taxpayers commit.
tee state that they regret very much
their inability to publish this state
ment sooner but that because of a
failure OF the auditor to place suffi.
clent postage on the letter enclosing
the report it was delayed. The en-
velop containing the report was
shown to The Herald in substantial
ton OF this statement.
One OF the outstanding features of
the report Of Auditor Cameron is a
detailed statement of the condition
OF the sinking fund of the city. In
this statement there is set forth in
detail the notes that are held by the
commission. 1t is charged in the re-
port that the city had used some of
the sinking fund for other purposes,
but during the past month had repaid
the same from other sources.
Doubtless the full report will be
read with much interest by the tax
payers because it has long been look

BANK WILL INSTALL
WINDOW TO DISPLAY
RESOURCES Of FARMS
ADVANCE STEP TAKEN BY THE
COLUMBIA BANK G. TRUST
COMPANY.
WILL Be OF SOLID PLATE GLASS
SO Arranged That Every Passer on
the Street viii Be Able to See Just
What This County Can Do in the
Production of Crops.

In order to make a permanent and
attractive exhibit of the agricultural
resources of Maury county, primarily
for the benefit of the numerous visit
ors to the National Fox Hunters con.
yention, but to serve for all future
occasions, the Columbia Bank &
Trust Company is going to install an
agricultural window in the bank
building on the West Seventh street
side. This young institution will
probably be the first in the state and
may be in the whole country to take
this advance step in the interest of
the products of the country.
The window will be of solid plate
glass and will properly display all of
the products that may be placed in
it. The exhibits will be properly d.
vided with glass partitions and every
one walking along the street can,
without the slightest effort, see what
the farms Of Maury county can do in
the way of growing the. best crops in
the world. 1t will be decided inno-
yation, but one that is sure to meet
with popular favor.
1t is not expected that there will be
any trouble experienced in getting
the necessary exhibits because the
farmers of the county will have suffi.
cient pride to make the best possible
showing. There will be visitors here
from all sections of the country and a
proper exhibit during the fox hunters
meeting will be worth much to the
resources of this favored section.
