After twenty years of continuous
activities in the jack and jennet
business in Maury county, Sim L.
Watson announced today that he was
closing out all Of his jacks and jen-
nets, stations and all real estate,
with the purpose of moving his family
to the Northwest.
Mr.. Watson Slipped ont this week
two car loads Of jacks and jennets
to Clarence, Mo, where they VIII be
received and sold by Gus Watson,
who was for a number of years
partner of Mr.. Watson's, the firm be-
ing known as Watson Bros.
Sim Watson entered the stock bust
ness with his father, the late w. II.
Watson twenty years ago, he con-
tinued with his fether for four years
when Gus Watson bought his fathers
interest in the business, and the
firm was then conducted as Watson
Bros, up till about two ; ,ars ago
when Gus Watson sold to Sim, and
since that time has been working for
his brother.
This firm has handled many thou.
sand jacks and jennets, stations, and
ponies since its inception into exist
ence and the prices have ranged
from the hundreds up into the thou
sands. 1t would be a difficult pro-
position to attempt to estimate how
much business they have transacted,
to figure it in dollars and cents. To
loose the Watson's from the jack In
dustry in this county is q big loss az
they are hustlers and always have
something doing in the way of trad
ing about their barns.
Mr.. Watson stated that he hoped
to wind up his business so that he
could leave here with his family
some time between the first and If
tenth of October. He has not yet
selected his location in the west,
but was sure that he would be in the
northwest portion.
!, Mr.. Watson stated to The Herald
man this morning that he vas quit.
ting the game on account of his
health, but that he would be back in
Columbia at different intervals as his
business here would compel his Ie-
turn to 1.-THE Dimple" several times
during a year.

With the largest crowd ON hand
that has been in Columbia for MAJ y
months, the First Monday in Sept.
ember. presented a scene that was
worth going many miles to see. Fully
ten thousand people from the outly
ing districts were in the city by
twelve o'clock, and the gala day of
the early fall was on in full blast.
Early Sunday afternoon the crowds
started streaming into Columbia. All
afternoon, and late into the night,
the people still came, bringing with
them the best mules that they had on
their farms, and at seven o'clock
Monday morning fully one thousand
people we're on the streets with the
numbers being constantly increased
every minute. Mules were present
everywhere. The square was m:
pltely filled with the hybrids, and
North Main from Sixth to the square
was as packed with the animals as
possible. 1t was conservatively cs-
timated that two thousand mules
we're on the market, and many b1y-
ers were in evidence.
All morning long, the crowd con-
tinued TO stream in. The pixies were
crowded with mules, men, women and
children, and the dust raised re-
sembled that OF a marching army. The
railroad trains were crowded to their
capacity with people from the Guilty
ing districts who wanted to De in
Columbia on the most important day
of the yer. sOnes Of the largest.
crowds in shistory came up on the
Decatur accommodation.
All day long the buying has been
brisk, and the trading activities are
fully as numerous as those, which in
former years, have made this city one
of the greatest mule markets in tie
world. This day is always the one
on which the values for mules are
set and the prices after Monday are
sure to be very good, as many good
values were recorded.
Every section of the county, and
many other counties were represent
ed, and mule buyers from several
other states we're in attendance.
From the furtherest hills Of Maury
as well as from the level portions the
people came, as with many country
men this is the one day in all the
year in which they come to town.
The vast majority we're, however, the
ones who regularly come to town on
| the various First Mondays.
The merchants of the city did the
largest business since the mid-sum-
mer sales, and the clerks in the
large department stores were kept

advantage of the opportunity of pur-

ed condition of the square and the
streets nearby, the knots OF people
talking, the glad cries of old friends
met again after long separation, the
many mules and colts, the large coun-
try wagons, the brays of the hybrids,
and the trading in the mules, all
made such a scene as has made Co.
lumbia and Maury county famous
over the length and breadth OF the
nation.
Annual Colt Mule Day was one of
the chief attractions that brought
people of town, and the prices on the
little animals we're such that their
owners were more than satisfied.
Those shown were for the most part
in prime condition. and the lovers of
ethe hytSids we're more than satisfied
Fwith Che sight that greeted their
eye.
The multitude of people stayed in
the city until late in the afternoon
and then tired, but happy, after hav.
ing passed the greatest day Of all the
year, they started on their homeward
journey. Several stunts were pulled
off during the day by adventurous
persons for the amusement of the
crowd, and these we're much en-
joyed.
The crowd was one Of the most
orderly that have ever been in Column
bia. Not single drunk was seen on
the streets, while in former years
many have been the rule rather than
the exception. So far as known, not
an arrest was made by the police.
Labor Day did not add very
great number to the crowd, and there
was no official observation Of the day
There we're no holidays declared by
any of the institutions IN the city
with the exception of the postofiice.
The banks had very busy day, and
cheques and drafts came in by the
bundles.
