Mileage Greatly Reduced
The retirement Of Keokuk from the
association has greatly reduced the
mileage Of the clubs 1t is estimated
that the saving to the league in rail-
road expenses will be about $4,000
Marshal1town's mileage this year is
between 500 and 600 miles less than in
1915.
The transfer Of the Keokuk fran
chise has assured a further, saving for
the local club, as it will be possible
for the Ansons to leave this city in the
morning and play a game in the af-
ternoon at Fort Dodge. thus reducing
the hotel expenses.
The schedule is most satisfactory to
the local club, one Of the most accept
able features being the more uniform
length of series, providing for six
games at home and six games abroad
practically thruout. ...,. ~. -,

WIFE DES ..RTI0N
CHATTANOOGA JUDGE HOLDS
THE RECENT STATUTE TO
BE VALID.

Announcement that Judge Mercy
nolds of the criminal court at Chat
tanooga had held invalid and uncon-
stitutional the act of the last legisla-
ture for bidding the desertion of wives
by husbands, has created considerable
interest here. There have been a
large number of prosecutions under
this act. There is hardly week that
Judge Mcknight, before whom, under
the law, all cases of prosecution OF
delinquent husbands and fathers must
be Instituted, does not have a case. A
rather unusual condition exists in this
county with respect to the execution
of this law. The warrants must all
be sworn out before Judge Mcknight
of the County Court. He then binds
the defendants over to the grand jury
The case, if an indictment is returned
is then certified to Judge Mcknight
of the Criminal Court, for trial.

Well Known Bluff City Politician visi-
tor to Columbia, Was Formerly a
Partner of w. p. Halliday, Well
Known in This County.

Senator Parham, of Shelby county,
was visitor to Columbia Tuesday. He
was here on business and stated very
frankly that his trip here had NO
political significance. Senator Par
ham was formerly a partner of w. P.
Halliday, who married the daughter
of the late Col. Ridley, of this county.
He said that he had visited Columbia
years before and noted many improve
ments here.
While Senator Parham would not
discuss state politics he did not mind
paying high tribute to his colleague,
Senator Ashcroft who has just been
elected mayor of Memphis. I'VE have
great mayor in Ashcroft" said the
Shelby senator. "He Is a fine man
and will, | feel sure, do his whole
duty. He is well qualified for the
office, is gentleman of the highest
character and will, am certain, exc
cute the laws as they are written
upon the statute books"
The Shelby countian is quite
friend and admirer of Senator ]. w.
c. Church, of this county. He spoke
in the highest terms of the Maury
countian. Mr. Parham is rather
unique as Shelby legislator in that
he is a believer and a prac .itioner
both Of prohibition.
He Is Of the opinion that the call
for extra session will come within a
few hours.

SEVENTH D|sTRIST
c. 0 P. WILL MEET
Ii FRANKLIN MAY z
CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION TO
ELECT THE NATIONAL
DELEGATES.
MAI DIVIDE ON LEADERSHIP
Although Party Managers Are Going
To do all They Can to Preserve
Concord Of Action-Hopkins and
Kidd Will be Chosen.

Republicans Of the>Seventh congress
sional district will met at Franklin on
May 2, at IL o'clock noon for the
purpose of electing two delegates and
two alternates to the nationa, repub-
iican convention and also to name an
elector for this district for president
and vice-president.
1t seems almost practically assured
that the two delegates from this dis
trict will be R. s. Hopkins, of Maury
county and Capt. Joe P. Kidd, OF Law,
renee county, although Charles s.
Mount, of Williamson county, is can
didate for the honor.
1t is not improbable that there will
be a fight in the district convention
over the party leadership in Tennes
see. Should the Sanders-Hooper fol
lowers endeavor to endorse the Hon
Newell Sanders for national commit
teeman there would likely be opposi
tion and this would bring the whole
question to an issue The leaders in
the district, as they did in this county
are going to do all that they can tc
avoid any friction.
Whether or not the convention will
nominate candidate for congress- In
this district has not yet been deter
mined. Should candidate be placed
in the field by the republicans 1t would
be the first time they have had 6
nominee since 1908. Solomon A. Vest
of this county, will probably have NJ
opposition for the nomiantion II ont
Is made.
DR.. Beasley, of Hickman county ant
Emmett Hickman of Giles county, are
certain to be the members of the state
committee from the district.

MAKE HARD PULL FOR
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
LARGE PARTY WILL ATTEND THE
MEETING OF BOARD OF
TRUSTEES.
AT NASHVILLE On SATURDAY
Expected That Majority Of The
Members Of the County Court and
Other Prominent Citizens Will Com
pose the Party.

Headed by Col. John w. Fry, of the
local committee, Judge j. T. Mcknight,
of the county court, Hon. w. G. Whit
thorne, county attorney, one of the
largest delegations that ever went on
similar mission will 60 from Colum-
bia to Nashville on Saturday morn
ing in the interest of the Girls Voca-
tional school.
The board of trustees will meet at
Nashville on Saturday for the purpose
of locating the school, and this dele
cation will make one final appeal and
if there is anything that Maury county
has not offered, which, if offered,
would secure this school, it Is pretty
certain that the offer will be made.
1t is expected that a majority and
maybe all of the members of the coun-
ty court will be members of the dele
cation. They will all be invited and
urged to attend. Already a number
of them have stated that they would
go. In addition to the officials several
of the ministers of the city will be
in the delegation and representatives
of the board of trade and other prom
inent citizens still make the trip.
Chairman Fry is confident of win,
ming the school, but he feels that nc
chances should be taken and that this
manifestation of the interest that the
people feel in the location Of the
school here will be sure to impress
the board of trustees.

HEAVIEST SNOW IN
THIS SECTION FOR
NUMBER Of YEARS
ATTAINs TO A DEPTH OF SIX TO
EIGHT INCHES ON THE
LEVEL.
sleigh BELLS ARE HEARD AGAIN
coasting Also Popular Sport-Some
Damage From Leaking Roofs Re-
ported in the City-More Of Same
Promised for Tomorrow.

Maury county had the heaviest fall
of snow that it has had in more than
half decade on Monday and Monday
afternoon. On the level the snow Is
between six and eight inches deep and
where there was any drift in it over a
foot deep. The snow made naviga-
ton either by foot, in auto or with
horse rather difficult.
The ground was frozen when the
snow fell, making all of it stick. AS
a result of the snow there was the
biggest demand for rubbers and leg
gins from the merchants of the city
that they have had this winter.
Young America made merry in the
snow Monday night. There were
SNOWFALL battles everywhere. Many
sleighs we're rigged out hurriedly and
the sound of sleigh bells was heard
in the city for the hrst time IN SeVeraI
years. The smaller children enjoyed
coasting until late hour.
The snow, while adding to the feed
BILL will really be helpful to wheat
4 and young grass and clover. Many
farmers took advantage of the snow
4 to sow grass and clover today.
About the only damage done was
in the city, where there were fat
roofs. In several instances when the
buildings got hot the snow began to
melt and ran through the roof, dam
aging the plaster and furniture in the
rooms and Offices
