PRESENT.

Confirmation of the sale having
been obtained in the federal court,
Charles A. Parker, Jr., has taken
charge OF the Maury Laundry, which
he purchased Monday. Mr.. Parker
does not intend to make any changes
in the personnel of the force for the

give the people of Columbia and the
surrounding country the highest quail
ity of service. Mr.. Parker stated this

not satisfactorily done it would be
done over. The laundry is splendid
ly equipped with the most modern
machinery and devices and every at

BiGBYVlLLE AND MT. OLiVET
WILL MEET EVERY obi.
CATION.

Never probably in it's history has
the Bigbyville and Mt Olivet charge
of the Methodist church had a more
successful year than that which is
just closing under the splendid direc-
ton of Rev. J. NJ Horne, whom the
members of the charge hope will be
returned for another year. The
charge has paid everything in full,
salaries and assessments, and the
Bigbyville church has very largely
increased it's payments over last
year, this church having raised for
all purposes about $500. Much credit
for this record is given the finance
committee composed of James T. Pet
ty, DR.. R. S. Perry and l. W. Lowell.
The Mt. Olivet church has met every
expectation and has had a fine year
also. In the charge there we're tif.
teen additions by profession Of faith.
Owing to the change in the district
lines the assessments on this charge
were largely increased but every cent

Ben Childers, member of the exec

Jackson Highway Association, was in
Columbia this morning in conference
with President Brownlow, of the
Maury county association, respecting
the application for routes through
this county. Mr.. Childers has been

them may be inspected and when fl
nally the one route is agreed upon
it can be made complete from the ma
terial before the commission. The
commission wants a full description
of the route through Maury county
by way of Pulaski and also one of the
route by way of Mt. Pleasant 1t will
also have the route through Giles
county by way of Columbia and like.
wise the route through that county
by way of Lewisburg. Mr.. Childers

OF THE PATTERSON
PLAN.
GOES AFTER Tilt EX-GOVERNOR
Opening Speech Of the Senatorial
Campaign In Maury County Is
Heard by Representative Audi.
ence-Cordial Greeting.
(Monday's Daily.)

Gen. Harvey H. Hannah, the elo-
quent East Tennessee orator, ad-
dressed good sized and appreciative
audience at the court house this aft
ernoon in the interest of Senator
Lea. The court room was not quite
filled but the audience was a most at !
tentive one and gave the speaker
cordial reception.
Gen. Hannah's speech was an elo-
quent and forceful presentation OF the
issues of the campaign He severely
arraigned the primary plan under
which the primary is to be held and
declared that it was the identical plan
that Patterson had forced on the par
ty in the judiciary contest and which
had been repudiated by $4,000 major
ity. He was especially severe on that
part of the plan which invests control
of the election machinery in a state
board.
In his opening remarks Gen. Han
nah paid eloquent tribute to Senator
Carmack and Col Whitthorne, two
distinguished sons of the county who
he loved. He was presented by w.
c. Whitthorne in brief eulogy.
Gen. Hannah was caustic in his ar
raignment of Patterson for the lat
ter's re-entry into the politics of the
state. He said that the ex-governor
by this act had aroused all of the old
animosities and again challenged the
supremacy of the democratic party.
Frequent applause interrupted the ell
oquent Tennessean.

WOULD ABANDON THE
WORK ERADICATION
HOG CHOLERA HERE
COUNTY COURT REFUSES TO
CONTINUE PROGRESSIVE
MEASURE.
CITY JUSTICES KILL MOTION
BY Vote Of Ten to Ten Decline TO
Take Up the Portion of Expenses
Heretofore Carried by the State.
Knock Out Fox Hunt.

BY vote of ten to ten the county
court Monday refused to make
an appropriation of 5000 per month
for the next six months to continue
the work of hog cholera eradication
in this county. The vote came as
great surprise, after several members
OF the court had testified that the
work had saved them individually d
thousand dollars each, and not a word
had been said in opposition to the ap-
preparation.
The surprising feature was that tn
justices from Columbia and Mt. Pleas
ant voted against the, appropriation,
a large majority of the farmer justic-
es standing sqaurely for the progress
sive measure. Several speeches, in
cluding one from Hon. H. Knox Bry-
son, were made in behalf of the ap-
preparation, and not one against it,
but failure came just the same. 1t
was stated after the vote by some of
the advocates that an effort might be
made to secure a reconsideration.
The court did not meet until 1915
O'Clock this morning, but just as soon
as it did the fireworks opened Col
John W. Fry, asking in behalf of the
Board of Trade, for $500 appropria-
ton to advertise the resources of the
county at the fox hunters meet. The
motion failed by vote of eight to
ten.
Justice Denton called the courts
attention to the death of his colleague.
Justice Wilkes, and Judge Mcknight
appointed Justices Denton, Davis and
English to draft suitable resolutions.
They reported with beautiful and
touching tribute to the late member.

PEACE OFFICER
ANSWERS CALL
END COMES TO TOM LUNN, FOR
MANY YEARS A DEPUTY
SHERIFF.

Tom Lunn, deputy under four
sheriffs of Maury county, many years
a constable of the tenth district and
one of the best known and most eff
cient peace officers that Maury count
ty has ever had, died at his home at
Hampshire on Thursday afternoon
and was buried today at 10 o'clock
at the Jones graveyard, the services
being conducted by Elder Morton, of
Columbia.
Mr.. Lunn was about sixty-three
years of age and is survived by his
wife and five sons, one of whom is
also a deputy sheriff. He also has
two brothers surviving him. Mr..
Lunn was deputy shriff under Henry
Ragsdale, Whit Hight, James H. For
gey and Claude Goodwin and prior to
that time had served as constable.
He was probably the best court cryer
in the county and for many years
opened every term of the circuit court
of this county. He was faithful in
the discharge of his duties, energetic
and fearless and was highly respect
ed by all who knew him. The officials
of the county had the utmost conf
dence in him and many were the eX-
pressions of regret at his death. He
was a devoted member of the Chris
tian church.

opening of the market and dealers
believe that it will be long time be-
fore better price will be paid. The
recent report of the governemnt, es-
timating the yield of corn to be great
or than ever before, has had a de-
pressing effect on the market and sev.
eral farmers have announced an in
tention of selling the surplus soon.
No mills in the county, so far as
known, have paid more than $3.50
for new corn, except where little
has been bought already shelled at
So That has been purchased in linn
tied quantities and used simply to
mix with the old corn in grinding
neal.
1t is expected that since the frosts
in the county the gathering of the
new crop will proceed rapidly. The
corn yield will be the best that Maui
ry county has had since 1912, in the
opinion of the majority of the farm.
ers, While the crop suffered some
from the drouth the yield is very
much better than it was in either
1913 or 1914 in both of which there
was a long and severe dry spell.
The new corn is not here in greater
abundance but the quality shows a
decided improvement over that of the
two previous seasons. The dry
weather did not only cut down the
yield but very much deteriorates the
corn that is produced.
