Maury County Especially Adapted to
Fox Hunting and Fine Sport Is
Found by the Association Men,

The following resolutions have
been adopted by the National Fox
Hunters Association:
THAT, whereas the annual field
trials of the National Fox Hunters
Association have formerly been held
in the State of Kentucky, and, where
as it was with some degree of hest
tation that said trials were changed
to another state-the State OF Ten
ncssee, county of Maury-because OF
the fact that the farmers were not
accustomed to fox hunting on such
an extensive scale and of such strenu-
Ous proportions as is commonly in
dulged in at the annual national
field trials. But now, at the close
of the allage stake we are fully and
ioyfully convinced that said fears
and hesitation were unfounded and
that said Maury County, in the grand
old state of Tennessee, is ideal ter
ritory from every viewpoint for the
successful holding of fox-hunting
ield trials of a national character,
and
"Therefore be it resolved, that our
grac Gus thanks be and Is hereby ex-

diviLually and collectively, for their
wpOrtsmanlike cooperation in making
this, the twenty-second annual field
trials of the National Fox Hunters
Association, the most successful
NEE in the history of the associa-
ton. Especially do we wish to pub
licly acknowledge the services OF the
following men initiating and con-
summating to the fullest while here:
DR.. Walter Woodbridge, w. T. Fraser
John W. Fry, John c. Sowell and
Ashley b. Sowell
"And we would not lose this OPP
portunity of expressing our sincerest
feeling of love and gratitude to those
who have opened their homes, the

-cfants and business people of the |
beautiful little city of Columbia for
their many courtesies and consider

Constitutional Convention Next Yea,
and Proper Management Of the

Judge Mcknight, Of the county

Thanksgiving Day. The attendance
at the melting, which is the second

splendid and interest was keen Judge
Mcknight, in discussing the meeting
this morning, said
81 am sure that this association is
going to be a very important factor
in the affairs of the state. The mem.
bers were very much interested at
our meeting Thursday and discussed
problems, the solution of which will
be vital to the best interests of Ten.
nessee. We will meet again next
May at which time we hope to have
every county judge or chairman in
the state in attendance.
There being an election next year
on the question of the calling of a
constitutional convention, naturally
considerable time was devoted to a
discussion of the matter The mem.
bers believe that the office of county
judge should be created in every
county, and we also discussed COM
mission government for the counties
Tax assessments, equalization Of
property values, revenues, uniform
systems of keeping records and
books and other similar topics Of
great Importance to the people, we're
the subjects of some very instructive
talks
"Other questions were, better sys-
TEN for spending charity funds;
road and bridge building; to require
state to pay for the return of refu-
gees when sought for felonies; to
turn at least a part of the Inheritance
taxes into the county treasures pro-
lection of delinquent children a bet
ter scheme of assessments; how to
properly care for pellagra patients
This association will mean much to
the state and the better administra-
ton of the affairs of the several coun-
ties. 1t should have as a member
every Judge or chairman in the state"

possesses more juice than the local
cantaloupe. The home Of the melon

THE GREAT NATIONAL TUR-
KEY DAY.
WAS JUST LINE lhE SABB4TH
Practically Every House Was Closed
From Noon Until Night-Many Diff
ferent Ways in Which People Spent
the Day.

Thanksgiving Day was probably
more generally observed in Columbia
and Maury county on Thursday than
it has ever been. In fact, every year
there is more generous observance
than during the previous year On
Thursday it was like the Sabbath in
Columbia. After ~ o'clock all bus
mess in the city was practically sus-
pended. Most of the business houses,
the department stores and banks
were closed all day and from noon
on tie grocery stores were shut up
tight.
There were religious services at
practically all of the churches and
these were fairly we'll attended. Hun
dreds went from the county to Nash
vile to attend the big football game,
others went to see friends in the
country and many others to visit rel
atives and friends in adjoining towns
and counties. Many took to the fields
for days shooting and the weather
was glorious for this sport, In fact
the weather man was exceedingly
kind and dished out, for this season
of the year, most acceptable tempera-
lures.
There were the usual number of
private dinings, house parties and
other social affairs. Taking every
thing into consideration it is doubt
full if the people of Maury county ever
spent more thoroughly enjoyable
Thanksgiving than they did on
Thursday. Assuredly they have <nev-

more blessings for which they could
ret"rn thanks than that which closed
