MANY HONORS FOR
1Ol[[Y FARM At
TENNESSEE FAIR
SEVERAL COLTS ARE GIVEN
VERY GRATIFYING MARKS
ON MILE TRACK.
TO KEEP NATIVE NEXT YEAR
He Took Blue Ribbon for Being the
Best Bred Trotting Stallion and
Was Much Admired by All Horse
men.

Many honors came to Tolley Stock
Farm, the splendid establishment of
W. NJ. Tolley, at the state fair at
Nashville. Several of the horses of
the farm took fine records and The
Native took the blue ribbon as the
best standard bred stallion exhibited.
This great horse will be kept here
for another season by Mr.. Tolley. He
was very much admired by the horse
men at the fair and one owner of fif.
teen standard bred trotting mares as
sured Mr.. Tolley that if he kept The
Native next year that he would send
every one of these mares to him Ma
tive Hope, a two year old colt of The
Native, took mark of 2;19%.
George T., the four year old phe-
nomenon of Mr.. Tolley, after training
for only ninety days, took mark of
2:11R This horse went the last half
in 105 or a 2:10 gait He took the
last quarter in thirty-two and a half
seconds.
Rose Direct was given a mark of
2:15A during the early part of the
fair and it was the intention of Mr.
Tolley to give her lower mark, but
she was SO greatly admired that i'm
mediately after the trial she was sold
to c, G. Wescott, of Orlando, Fla, for
a neat sum. Later on she made half
in 1882. She is just three years old.
Pilatus End was given a mark Of
2:221a and several capable horsemen
declared that with thirty days train
ing this horse would easily take a
record Of 2;15 or better.
Naturally Mr.. Tolley was very
much gratified at the results which
his farm attained at the fair. He is
more than ever persuaded that he has
in George T. the making of one OF
the swiftest horses that ever left the
Dimple.

WEATHER DURING T.
PAST MONTH VERY
WARM AND Al So DRY
BUT FOR THE BIG FLOOD ON THE
LAST DAY WOULD HAVE
BEEN UNUSUAL.
MERCURY WAS ABOVE AVERAGE
But Nothing Like As Warm AS IT.
Was Four Years Ago-Coldest Sep
TENDER Was Twelve Years Ago and
Wettest Nine Years Ago.

September was in many respects
remarkable month. 1t had more
than the usual amount of rainfall for
that month and yet it rained on only
three of the thirty days. OF the four
and quarter inches of rain that fell
during the month nearly two and
three-quarters inches fell on the last
day. The month was clear and warm,
the mean temperature, seventy-two,
being two degrees above the normal.
However, in no respect did the month
establish a record. We have had
much wetter much dryer and much
warmer Septembers.
September, 1911, was the hottest OF
them all with a mean temperature OF
seventy-six, or four degrees above the
past month. 1t was also about the
dryest ever known, only bit over an
inch of fluid falling. Tne wettest
September was in 1906 when it sim
ply rained all of the time, eleven and
fraction inches falling during the
month. The normal for the month is
1856 inches.
In 1903 September came very near
being a real winter month, the aver
age temperature being only sixty-four
degrees. 1t was also shy on rain.
Fires we're common then all during
the month.
In spite of the fact that the past
month gave one the impression Of be-
ing very warm, the mercury went as
high as ninety on only two days. The
highest temperature was ninety-three
on the thirteenth and the lowest was
forty-four on the 23rd.
These interesting facts are taken
from the Official record of Mrs. Joe
W. Fleming, the voluntary meteoro-
logical observer.

TWO NEGROES TAKEN INTO Gus.

COUNTY JAIL.

The Ford card belonging to Andrew
Dale was stolen Saturday night about
1O:3O from the residence of Will Dale
on Sixth street. Mr.. Dale left the car
out in front of his residence for the
night, and yesterday morning when
he went out to take little spin he
found the car missing. He immedi-
ately notified Sheriff Griffin, who tel
ephoned to Nashville warning the Of
ficers there to be on the lookout for
the car. Just about the same time a
call was received from an establish
ment on Broadway saying that two
negroes in a Ford car had stolen some
gasoline. They managed to secure
the number of the car and the officers
easily got on the trail. The negroes
went out the Harding pike, lnqulrlng
the way to Dickson, but somehow or
other lost the way and had headed
this way. The officers telephoned
ahead and the car was stopped at
Burwood on the Carter's Creek pike
The negroes, whose names are Elrod
Tyndal and Albert Thomas, were de-
tanned until the arrival of the officers
who escorted them back to Nashville.
Sheriff Griffin went up last night and
escorted them back to Columbia and
placed them in the county bastile to
await trial. Will and Norman Dale
motored to Burwood last night and
brought the stolen car home.
