GRADE DAIRY COWS
SOLO IN JANUARY
THAT Is THE RECORD MADE BY
THOMAS & SoWELL IN THE
PAST MONTH.
NINETY.TWO HEAD IN one DAY
Steadily Increasing Demand For Grade
Jersey Cattle Form Maury County
And the Year Promises Now to be a
Record-Breaker.

Surprising all former records for
January, Thomas & Sowell, the big
dealers in grade Jersey cows and
heifers, shipped no less than six car
loads of cattle during the past month.
That record has been made by the
1rm in single month, but never be-
fore in January. The demand for
Maury county grade dairy cattle has
been larger this month than ever be.
fore at the beginning Of the year and
it has been some trouble to fill all the
orders that have been received.
On Saturday this firm shipped nine
ty-two head Of cows and heifers. The
two cars contained ninety-two head.
an unusually large shipment for one
day and was valued at probably $4,000
or more. These two loads went to the
same buyer at Shelbyville, Ky. Dur
ing the past year and half business
in dairy cattle has been slack in the
county due to the fact that many mar.
kets were closed on account of the
foot and mouth disease, but with the
Improvement in the situation and the
Withdrawals of quarantine regulations
there has been marked increase In
the demand.
From present indications this bust.
ness will surpass the record made In
1913 when probably 100000 worth of
grade dairy cattle were shipped out OF
Maury county.

LIQUOR SELLER
TAKEN IN TOW
SOLICITING ORDERS FOR FIRE
WATER, {. s. kRAIL IS
ARRESTED.

e. s. Krail was arrested Monday
afternoon charged with soliciting or
ders for whisky without license.
Mr.. Krail, who was nicely dressed
young man of pleasing personality,
came to Columbia Monday morning
from Nashville. He at once began his
solicitation of orders for the firewater
among the professional men of the
city and by the time he had canvassed
several prospects, the officers of the
law were on his trail. They shadowed
him the greater part of the day until
they secured enough evidence for his
arrest.
The gentleman stated to the officers
that he was representing The Moss
Co., of Cincinnati, and that he had
worked other towns In the state with
out any trouble and thought it an In
justice for him to be jerked up 80 alb
ruptly and not be allowed to continue
his work, but the officers assured him
that he was in Columbia, where laws
really were enforced and that 1t was
an absolute necessity for him to either
make bond or change his boarding
place from the Bethel to the county
bastile.
Mr.. Krail finally made bond and the
case was bound over to the grand jury
When released, he went on his way
rejoicing, lingering long enough to tell
Judge Erwin that he would never
have the pleasure Of looking upon his
countenance again.
