The Disease in Maury County,
How II Worked.
(By DR.. Jno. P. O'Connor. J


We offer below, for the benefit OF
the farmers who may still be dubious
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of having their
hogs treated when cholera appears
In the herd, letter sent us by Mr..
]. V. Delk, one of Maury county's
foremost hog raisers. Mr.. Delk has
not only had his hogs treated by us
once, but several times, and it seems
that on each and every occasion this
office has saved him money as indi.
Gated by the following letter:
Hampshire, Tennessee, Jan. 18th,
1916. j. P. O'Connor, Columbia,
Tenn. Dear Sir:-"It affords me
pleasure to make statement of my
experience with vaccination for hog
cholera. The first outbreak occurred
last Spring in a bunch of 100 head,
twelve were sick when vaccinated
All recovered without any loss.
"The second outbreak was in a
bunch of Is shoats; only two or three
had any fever when vaccinated by
your men, no loss occurred at this
time. The last and the worst out
break occurred last Fall in bunch of
46 pigs, the youngest about FIVE weeks
old, of this number 20 were sick
when vaccinated, three of which
afterwards died,
1--WE kept the mothers with these
pigs at first, hoping to keep the sows
from worrying them, resulting in,
think, the loss of one pig by being
overlaid by the old SOW.
Il am heatily in favor of continu-
alton of your work, and would advise
farmers everywhere to call you when
they see the first sick hog.
Respectfully,
-. v. DELK.'
1t is plain to see that the success
we had with Mr., Delk's hogs was due
to the fact that he called as soon al
| he found his hogs were sick, he die
not wait until big proportion o.
them were down but called at once
If Mr.. Delk had waited until severa
of his hogs were dead, which woulC
mean that there were many Others
sick, and then called us in, he woul'
have had different story to tell, blu
his Is the common experience of thu
farmer who calls as soon as he see
one OF his hogs off feed. Call thi
Office any time and as often as yo1
want until you are satisfied that you
hogs are all right.

CITY COMMISSIONERS DEFINE
YARD LIMITS FOR RAILROADS

The city commissioners passed an
OF dinance this morning designating
yard limits and making other reg
ulations for the railroads and rtain-
men passing through here. DR.. H.
P. Mera was appointed city physi-
clan to fill the vacancy left by Dr..
T. R. Conklin. A reasonable remun-
Grafton for services rendered con-
stitutes the salary in this office.
The east railroad yard limit was
designated as Brady street and
Washington street is the west limit.
Engineers whistling for firemen or
ether trainmen while the engine is
within these limits, are subject to
a fine of $50. This is aimed to do
away with the loud and boistrous
shreiking of train whistles which
proves a great annoyance with the
tracks in the center of the city as
they are here.

CARELESS YOUTH CAUSES
FRIGHT ON BUCKEYE

Sunday evening a young man
from the country drove up in a
runabout to the Redman garage to
get some gasoline. While the tank
was being pumped full he lit a
match to see how the gauge stood
Immediately the tank caught fire
He jerked the hose out and the tank
and the gasoline spilled over the
car and on the ground and burned
furiously for few minutes. An on
locker smothered the flames in the
tank by putting a covering over the
intake hole. Very little damage
was done but the people in the
vicinity were alarmed for a brief
time.

WAR TINE SONGS
Songs That Deserve a Place in His
tory

The songs that were sung during
the great civil war-that had their
origin directly from the hearts of
the people while the fierce four
year struggle was going on-these
songs deserve a place history
They served to soothe the fears and
allay the anxious moments of many
a crisis when the humming wires
might flash a message that meant
the destruction of the Union. They
Gained and comforted the women
who we're left at home-with grief
and suffering paramount in each of
tie days that dragged out their
weary length. They served as the
outpouring of that silent agony
v hich must find utterance or break
the heart. They we're the audible
and visible applications Of the NIL
lions that could only watch and
the gallant boys In
blue and gray fought the battles at
the front.
The music and the words OF
these war songs cannot be repro
duced today. It needs the inspira-
ton Of a momentous war to produce
their like. And it is eminently fitting
that they should be gathered into
one volume such as Heart Songs"
We consider that we are fortunate
IN being able to offer this treasury
Of song on such terms that every
home into which this paper goes
ian own at least one copy. Prices

1.-THE Struggle" which is coming to
The Bismarck Theatre on Tuesday, as
The next release on the Equitable Pro
gram. with Frank Sheridan in the
stellar role, derives its title from the
mental conflict which sways the &C.
tons of an armv officer who, realizing
the handicap of years devotes his life
TO the happiness of the girl he loves,
even to giving her in marriage to a
man not worthy Of her, finally win
ming her after the death of the other
man, and the splendid traits of his
own character have made themselves
manifest to the young woman, in con-
trast with the deficiencies of the man
who won her hand. The younger man
is conscience-str at one time,
and then tries to square himself by
taking service as monk attending a
leper colony, but the effort came toe
late, and when he is brought back to
civilization by his self-sacrificing
senior, he finds that he IS infected
with the terrible disease, commits sui
eide, and leaves the way clear for the
happiness of the other two. The story
is told in most thrilling manner
and the scenes are worked out with
an intensity Of action and feeling
which cannot fail to make lastint
impression. There is such an abund
ance of vial, gripping material in the
play that there is no moment while il
is on the screen that the attention
can be relaxed without missing 9
strong point.

1t is unfortunate that political

After we get rid of the Mexican in

it will be in order to thresh out the

Prepared for the worst, United

of Germany's reply. No one wants

on the Atlantic coast who have been
pro-ally from the first
Now is the time for this nation to
take stock of it's neutrality. Is it not
possible that the war profits have
warped our vision? A sense of what
strict neutrality implies will assist
more than anything else in maintain
ing friendly relations.
1t is foolish to make opinions on
this war test of our loyalty to the
United States. We can disagree pos
itively with Wilson's foreign policy
and still be good Americans.
When break comes, that is anoth-
err matter, If such a crisis ever arises
this nation will face it in the same
spirit shown at Concord, Lexington
and Bull Run.
