The mass meeting held at the Cour

was one of the liveliest that has beer
held since the opening of this series
of gatherings. While the audience
was comparatively small, much inter
est was manifested and several inspir

which was Remedy for Sins and Evils

The service was opened by the sing

after which the speakers were present.
ed by DR.. J. c. Molloy the leader oil

The unanimous opinion of the speak.
ers and all present was that the "Old
Gospel" was the great and only rem.
edy for the many sins and evils that
are daily committed throughout this
generation.
Among the speakers who so ably
discussed this question were ]. H.

The ministers in the city are very
anxious to arouse some interest and
enthusiasm in these meetings among
that class of people who do not at
tend church regularly and by so doing
hope to win them into the folds of the
gospel. 1t is the duty Of every church
member to be present and aid in any
way possible for the pulift of fallen
humanity The pastors have assumed
the great responsibility Of keeping the
church members in church and it is
impossible for them to shoulder the
burden alone to reach the outer man,
SO it is hoped that at the meetings In
the future, the house will be packed
to its capacity.

PLACE EMBARGO
UPON SHIPMENT T
RAILROAD ORDER MAY ADVERSE
LY AFFECT THE PRODUCE
MARKET.

An embargo issued by the Louisville
& Nashville railroad on all shipments
East, effective on Tuesday, may have
far-reaching effect upon the produce
market of this section Under this
embargo the local railroads will not
from now on accept for shipment any
freight that is consigned to points in
the East. That being the chief and
almost sole market for the produce of
this section, it is feared that the re-
suit will adversely affect the prices
For some time there has been an en-
barge on shipments to the East except
food products. This order has now
been extended to embrace the latter.
OF course shipments that go forward
by express will not be effected, but
the great bulk Of the poultry, produce
and egg shipments go by the car load.
Dealers are considerably worried
over the outlook and are afraid that
one of two things will result, either
there must be reduced buying or an
quantity of these products
will be forced into cold storage in the
South. This would naturally adverse
ly effect the market prices.
The embargo is the result of the
enormous congestion of freight in the
East due to inability to get ships at
tide water for inter-oceanic transpor-
tation. Railroads viii not furnish cars
where they are consigned to points be-
yond their own lines.

Farm Advertised In The Herald
Three Weeks Ago-Three Other
Bidders For Dobbins Farm When
The Deal Was Closed up.

That it pays to advertise is being
demonstrated every day in the year
by 7. n. Figuers, Jr., of the Figuers
Realty Co., of Columbia Mr.. Figuers
made two splendid deals last week
One in town lots and a small farm on
the Bear Greek pike.
The farm of R. r. Dobbins was ad-
yertised in The Herald about three
weeks ago and Friday of last week
the farm was bought by Sam Head
OF Hickman county, at $4,000. The
farm contains fifty acres and is locat-
ed on the Bear Creek pike, seven
miles from Columbia.
Mrs. Frank H. Smith employed the
Figuers Realty Co. to sub-divide the
Burns Spring property on the north
side of Ninth street and while Mr..
f1guers was surveying and marking
OF the lots, he sold three of them to
w. L. Grant, of Columbia, for $1,000.
There are several more of the lots
left that Mr.. Figuers anticipates clos
ing out soon.
Mr. Figuers is an ardent believer in
advertising through the newspapers
and when he has a farm listed with
him he at once begins to hammer upon
the proposition and before the custo-
mer realizes what is taking place he
is telephoned, telegraphed or written
to come in and make his deed to the
farm.
