A controversy extending over a

whose land adjoins the public high
way between Brooklyn and Pleasant
townships in Lincoln county, near
.Beresford, finally has been adjusted
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The difficulty arose over a survey
made in the pioneer days. 1t was
determined by the farmers interested
that the old homestead survey made
in 1875 by Horace Austin should be
the standard in future. The claim of
the residents of Brooklyn township
was that they were short about a rod
Of land, which cuts a great deal of
figure now that farm land in this
vicinity has become so valuable. In
the pioneer days a few acres more or
less, made little difference.

To Hold One as There 10 an Unus-

There was never better time to hold
one than the present time. There are
possibly more fine show horses and
race horses in the county and sur
rounding counties than there has been
in years, and with the other natural
resources the county could make an
exhibit that would rival anything held

Fair Association with a proposition,
and if the owners of the grounds &C
eept Maury is sure to have a big
show 1t is also understood that there
has been some work done by these
two gentlemen, among some of the
merchants, and they have met with
encouragement in nearly every in.
stance.
A number of the merchants have
expressed a wish that there could be
a fair held here this year, and some
have said that they would not only
give it their moral support, but also
financial support. Just how strong
this financial support will be is not
known.

hold an annual fair. The resources
of the county are great-unlimited.

EGG GAMBLING
SOON INTO EFFECT
UNHEALTHY, STALE EGGS ARE
ALREADY COMING TO THE
MARKETS.

The Gambling of eggs will begin
about the tenth of this month with
practically all of the produce dealers
over the county. The stale eggs are
already beginning to come, occasioned
by the sitting season, and the Gambling
process is becoming necessary to pro-
tect against he heavy losses.
When the Gambling goes into effect
this loss will be borne by the farmer
or huckster as the case may be, and
it will be a great loss to the farmer to
have his eggs in stale, unhealthy
condition, it is therefore being sug
gested to take the ROSTERS away from
the hens as the setting season is about
over.

Splendid success is attending the re-
vival meeting being conducted at the
First Christian church by Rev. G. Dial.
las Smith, Of Murfreesboro. During
the past week Mr.. Smith has preached
twice daily on Bible subjects, his SER
mons revealing a wealth of informa.

not often found. They have been Of
exceptional interest to the large
crowds that have attended both the
morning and afternoon meetings The
services are held at 3 o'clock and at
1870 o'clock.
There have already been a number
of conversions and additions to the
church and several more are sure to
come. From now on the meeting will
grow in interest and Mr. Smiths SER
mons will be more of an evangelistic
nature than they have been and will
appeal more directly to the individuals
who hear him.
These meetings will continue all
through the coming week and until
Sunday night, May 7, and maybe q
little longer than that should the inter.
est justify it. The preacher Is not
only a Bible student, but he is an clio.
