Today was an eventful day for Os

this morning and hired a horse and
buggy at Journeys stables and pro

meet his fiance. The plan was to get
married Immediately after he reached
Glendale.
Upon his arrival at Glendale, Gal
loway could not find his prospective
bride high or low. He then drove
hastily to Culleoka where she resid.
ed, At last he found her and they
started to Columbia at a rapid rate.
So far so good, but the almost moth
er-in-law became aware of her daugh-
ter's absence and she set out to find
the cause. She suspected a marrying
and hitehed her horse to a buggy and
drove at lightning speed to Columbia
by a different route which the couple
were likely to travel.
The girls mother arriver here first
The would-be groom decided on the
way here to get married en- route and
when they went to the home of a min

that he had lost the necessary license.
Upon this discovery he and his fiance
drove on to Columbia only to be met
by the girls mother who took her
daughter home and policeman who
arrested Galloway on a charge of

Instead of happy honeymoon to-
day. with the loving arms of his wife
around his neck, Galloway is sitting
his afternoon in cherries cell at

Of the license and the alertness of
prospective mother-in-laws. He was

HUNDREDS OF MULES
CHANGE HANDS At
SPLENDID VALUES
ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN
THOUSAND or MULES ARE
SOLD.
PRICES Are FAIRLY GOOD
Not Quite Up to the Expectations,
However, Of Many and for That
Reason a Good Many of the Long
Ears Are Taken Home.

Mules to the right, mules to the
left; mules in front and mules in the
rear.
This pretty accurately describes
the situation in Columbia today.
There were hundreds and hundreds of
mules in the city from all sections
of Maury county and many of them
from the adjoining counties. While
the section Immediately around Court
Square was not as badly congested
with mules as it has been in big days
of the past, there were probably more
of the long ears on the side streets
and the mule trade took a wider
range of territory than ever before.
Estimates Of the number here vary.
Several of the dealers declared that
the number in the city was as large
as they had ever known. On the 9th.
er hand there were buyers who ex.
pressed surprise that the number was
not larger. But, whether or not the
number was larger than ever before
or short Of the mark one thing is Gel.
tain and that is the mules and the
people were here. II is believed that
there were not less than 1900 of the
county's famous product brought to
Columbia.
The mules began to Come in Satur-
day Hundreds came Sunday and
from daylight this morning until near.
ly noon they poured into the city
from all roads. While the prices
were not nearly as high as many had
expected them to be the sales were
not at quickly made as had been hop.
ed, the margin between the demands
OF the owners and the offers of the
buyers being rather wide. There
were hundreds of mules sold. They
sold too at what would be consider.
ed fairly remunerative prices. They
brought all the way from $125 to $3.50.
There were not many of the latter
class and probably a majority brought
nearer SITS. This would prabably be
little above the average of the
sales OF the day. Possibly $3.50 would
be nearer the average prices paid,
while there were some classy
mules" in the city and they brought
big prices the average run was not
OF an unusually high class. On the
contrary there were good many
rough ones, The small mule was not
in big demand. But the big mule OF
hve to eight years OF age, sixteen
hands and with corresponding weight.
was in fine demand.
On the whole it was a big day for
the mule buyers and for the farmers
1t looked like real genuine old fash.

point to new record in 1916 for the

and Has Inquiries for Number OF

]. Lem Thomas, the big dealer in
and shipper of Jersey cattle said to
day that there was every indication
of a big revival of the demand for
these cattle from Maury county and
the prospects were fine now for the
best year in this line that he had
known since 1918.
Mr. Thomas today sold car load Of
bulls to Dozier Bros, of Athens, Ga
They are both of the Durham and the
white face breeds. To Detheridge
Bros, of Brighton, Ill.,, he sold a car
load of Jerseys and another car load
of the same cattle was sold to be
shipped to Kentucky.
Maury county Jerseys have achiev-
ed fame In almost every part of the
country but during the past year on

MEETING TONIGHT AT CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE SHOULD APPEAL
TO EVERY BUSINESS MAN IN
THE COUNTY.

The meeting tonight at the Cham
Der of Commerce should attract every
citizen of the city who is interested
in good roads. The Business Mems
association and the Chamber of Com
merce are making a supreme effort to
get the petitions prepared to present
to the Board of County Commission
ers at the next regular meeting, and
they desire the support of every citi-
zen of the city and county, regardless
of the fact of whether they are men,
bers of the two organizations or not
The meeting will be called to order
promptly at o'clock and will be brief
if everyone will make it point to be
on hand early.
The road question in this county is
getting to be a serious proposition,
and something has to be done in order
that farmers may bring a reasonable
load of produce to town at all seasons.
The only way that is left now is to
vote bonds, and the Board of County
Commissioners have taken the first
step toward permanent construction
by employing a first-class engineer to
make the necessary plans, profiles
and specifications. This record will
be approved by the state highway de-
partment and will insure national aid
for every dollar spent by the county
The haphazard way of building roads
is becoming obsolete, and all roads
built in the county in the future will
be done by contract by competent road
builders who will be able to show to
the taxpayers just where their money
is being spent.
The petitions that will be prepared
tonight will be circulated immediate
ly all over the county and a vigorous
for the bonds will be inau-
gurated as soon as the commissioners
call the election.
