IN SAME FAMILY
ALL OF THEM GRADUATES IN
THE SAME CLASS AT
LEBANON.

Four members OF the same family,
all directly in the ministry of the Pres
byterian church is an unusual and re-
markable record. That ia just the sit
uation, however, in the family OF Rev.
J. M. Robson, of Culleoka, the pastor
of Central Presbyterian church. DR..
Robson went today to Murfreesbor0

sister, Mrs. T. T. Beard, of Milan,
Tenn, is the wife of Rev E. T. Beard,
pastor Of the Presbyterian church at

This makes two sons and two sons

Francis Schlatter Tuesday defended
his activities as healer in an enors

WHEAT HARVEST
In FULL SWING
FARMERS ALL OVER THE COUNTY
ARE GOING AFTER THE
GRAIN.

Wheat harvest was resumed In
Maury county this morning and by
tonight a large proportion Of the crop
Of the county will be in the shock,
provided, of course, the weather is
agreeable. The rains of Sunday and
Sunday night delayed the harvest and
did a great deal of damage to the
wheat, although probably less than
was at first estimated as several farm
ar. have reported that the crop was
not on the ground as badly as they
had feared. Much of the hay of the
county has been saved, although there
are atm many farmers who have not

HALF CENTURY IN
MILL BUSINESS At
THE SAME LOCATION
UNIQUE RECORD MADE BY JOHN
3. ASHTON, THE VETERAN
MILLER.
COMMENCED CAREER AS MERE BOY
Only Seventeen When In June, 1866,
He Began to Grind Grain With His
Father-Has Successfully Conquered
Many Obstacles.

Fifty years in the same business, at
the same location, the victor over all
vicissitudes; beginning as seventeen
year-old boy without capital, without
q business experience, but with char
acter and the confidence of his fel.
lows and coming to the celebration of
his half century jubilee with the con-
fidence, the respect and the good will
Of all, that in brief is the unique career
of John B. Ashton, one that should be
an inspiration to other young men in
life. 1t is a record of work, of service,
of honest and faithful endeavor, of
fair treatment, of prompt payment of
accounts, of activity in the affairs of
his community. of devotion to the
church.
1t was in June, 1866, half century
ago, that the site and dam of the Ash
tom Mill on Duck river, were sold un-
der a decree of the chancery court
and purchased by the late j. H. Ash.
: ton, father of Jno. B. Ashton. At that
time John Ashton was barely seven.
teen years of age. He stopped school
in order that he might assist his
father in the business. Together they
constructed the mill and ran it for
one year when the father died. The
young son, being miller, took charge
Of the mill and ran it for the admins
traitor of his fathers estate for about
q year.
The mill was then burned without
any insurance. Then the late Capt
In. ]. Vaughan took a five-year least
ON one-half interest in the property
and the mill was rebuilt, Mr.. Ashton
leasing from his fathers estate tn,
other half interest He and Capt
Vaughan as partners, operated the mil
during the period of the lease. At tn
: expiration Of the lease the partnership
was dissolved and Mr.. Ashton lease'
and operated the mill for six months
when it washed out in a food.
The estate having no funds wit
which to erect a new mill, Mr.. Ashtol
had the property sold for partition
purchased it, and built the new mil
He then operated the mill for fou
years In partnership with John p. MI
Cav. Buying out his partners intel
est he operated the mill for eight year
l in his own name, then formed a par
nership with his brother, the late San
uel F. Ashton. Together they ran tn
mill for ten years, and since then M
/ Ashton has been the sole owner.
I The Ashton mill, known far an
t wide, is located on site upon whic
a mill was first erected in 1872 b

HUNDRED HEAD Of
BEEF CATTLE THAT
MAKE NEW RECORD
r. A. PEERY G SON RECEIVE AVER.
AGE OF 1922 PER HEAD FOR
THAT NUMBER.
NEARLY ten CENTS A POUND
One OF The Finest 5unches That Ever
Left the Dimple, all Being in the
Prime Of Condition-TotaI Amount
OF Check $4,000.

That the top cattle will usually get
top prices and that 1t pays to handle
the best is illustrated in the recent
sale of 100 head of prime steers by R.
A. Peery & Son, Of near Spring Hill
Mr.. Peery, Sr. has just returned from
st. Louis, where he marketed 100 head
of steers which brought him an aver
age of $122 per head.
Mr.. Peery sold these steers for
1886 per hundred pounds, which was
close to the very top of the market
They averaged over 1850 pounds each
and every one of the hundred was in
the perfect pink of condition. There
was not poor animal in the whole
lot. Every one had been finished at
the big Peery farms to the very best
advantage.
This is probably the most valuable
single consignment of beef cattle made
by a farmer and grower from Maury
county in many years, in fact, it is
doubtful if it has been equaled, the
total check aggregating no less than
$4,000. This is sufficient to buy a
fairly good farm even in Maury county
Messrs Peery have been for sew
eral years marketing some of the
choicest cattle that 90 to the market
from any section Of the country, but
they have never sent to the shambles
a better lot than those recently sold
in st. Louis.

When the county court, in special
session, adjourned after a two and
half hours discussion of the turnpike
situation. it was as much up in the air
as it was when it met. The whole
question Of whether or not any def
mite action would be taken by the
court today was in allegiance when
the recess for until 2 o'clock was
taken.
The court voted by seventeen to Ave
to purchase the pixies at $1,000 per
mile and sent committee to wait
upon Mr.. Rainey and Mr.. Looney, the
owners and offer him this proposition.
The committee returned with a coun-
ter proposition to sell the pixies at
SLIPS per mile. A motion in lieu to
submit the matter to arbitration was
rejected by a vote of twelve to nine.
The court twice voted down motion
to adjourn, but after hearing impas-
stoned pleas from Col. Jos. F. Brown
low and w. C. Salmon against the ac-
ceptance Of the Rainey offer, a recess
was taken until 2 o'clock.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 10.-Justice
Charles E. Hughes was nominated
here this morning by the Republican
convention on the third ballot. From
the time the convention was called to
order, there was no doubt In the minds
of the leaders, but that Hughes would
get the nomination, although it came
sooner than expected. There was a
good deal of dealing and political wire
pulling endeavoring to affect .comprc-
mise upon other issues.
The nomination of Hughes gives
universal satisfaction amongst the
Republican ranks, and they claim that
he will be elected in November. They
seem to disregard the action Of the
Bull Moose, and say that it is only an
easy way of getting back itno the Re
publican ranks.
The leaders, and those next to the
inside workings, say that Roosevelt
will withdraw and recommend that all
Progressives support Hughes and re
unite the party, but whether this viii
be the case is matter of speculation
The platform promulgated by the
platform committee was adopted
unanimously, and with much satisfac
ton upon the part Of the entire CON
vention. The news of Roosevelt
nomination by acclamation by thu
Progressives hardly received any no
tice in the convention hall

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: philadelphia Press" comment on the
requirements OF the new Post-Graduate
School o. Princeton. reprinted on your edi-
torial page, attracted my attention. At the
term super-scholarship enter an objection.
Scholarship has no standing in objects of
undergraduate training in American colleges
That is just the trouble. When you consider
week learning football rules than he does
with required college studies and still make
an honor or Phi Beta Kappa, then what
OF college requirements?
If an undergraduate standard demanded a
mental equipment that could be trained 10
scholarship. our college halls would be nearly
deserted tomorrow. Mental discipline, knowl-
edge culture it isn't popular you cannot
hsya huge attendance with those standards
Do you know that one postgraduate school
acc epts but one in three of college graduates
and now complains of what it gets? Do you
know that medical schools of class A. T. are
considering preparatory schools in place OF
colleges 20 train men in prelminary-to to -medi-
cine courses? In every postgraduate school
the c-y IS the same-"nce boys, but absolute
ly unframed
When colleges abandon stadii and adopt in
of the super TO scholarship. But good people
think it undemocratic to eliminate the unfit
So where is the standard?

in postgraduate school, know the trouble
