ITY OF THE coUNTY-sALE MADE BY FeUERs

The sale of the Edwards farm on
the Hampshire pike to Maury and Will
Pigg few days ago was made by the
Figuers Realty Co., this fact was in
advertently omitted from the notice in
The Herald Monday, and since that is
the case it gives the reporter another
chance to expatiate upon the fast ad-
vancing values of Maury county real
estate. About ten years ago Sims
Latta sold this farm to Clarence Fly,
who in turn sub-diyided it and sold 1t
in two tracts; one tract going to Nolan
Gartner at a profit. who afterward sold
1t to Archibald, and about year and
a half ago Mr.. Archibald sold the farm
to H. N. Prince at cost Of $4,000

MAY CONTRACT TO
BUY PIKE ANYTIME
MO LIMIT FIXED FOR THE PUR-
CHASE IN RESOLUTION OF
COURT.

There is a popular misconception or
misunderstanding lof the resolution
adopted by the county court at its last
term touching the purchase of the
turnpikes. Many citizens are under
the impression that the resolution pro-
vided that the contract for the pur-
chase of the pixies must be made by
the committee with the owners within
thirty days after the resolution was
adopted. This is not the case No
limit is fixed for the negotiations, the
only provision of time being that the
election nust be held within thirty
days after the committee does enter
into a contract of purchase. That con-
tract can be made at any time.

CONVENTION TO HAVE BEEN HELD
ON MAY 1s, HAS BEEN
POSTPONED,
MANY LODGERs ARE COMING
Expected That There Will Be Not
Less Than 200 Visitors Here to
Attend Sessions From the Adjoining
Towns.

The big district convention of the
Knights of Pythias has been postponed
from May is to the night of June /.
At that time one of the most notable
events in the history of the local
Pythias is expected. There will be
large delegations here from number
of the adjoining lodges and the drill
work and degree work will be on an
unusually high order.
Two hundred visiting Knights of
Pythias will attend the convention and
will make the largest assembly of the
order that the people of Columbia
have ever known. There will be dele
cations from Mt. Pleasant, Hampshire,
Culleoka, Glendale, Lynnville, Moores-

cials OF the state will be present and
address the convention.
Thomas B. Forgey, chairman of the
local committee on arrangements, is

DISMISSED.
RECOVERY MADE FLYING JENNY
Interesting Question Involving The
Liability of Notary Public For Ger.
tlfying Wrong Party as Acknowledge
ing Deed, Heard.

In the chancery court opinions have
been delivered by Judge Bearden in
the cases of Wiltshire against Shoffner,
administrator OF the estate OF Lewis
Pickard and Preston Taylor against
]. G. Low. In the former case the
bill of complainant Wiltshire for 81, 500
alleged to be due by the estate Of
Pickard for alleged improvements up
on certain property, was dismissed.
In the other case involving the sale
OF flying jenny, Judgment for $500
was given against Low.
One of the most interesting cases
from a legal standpoint pending in
the court is that of Figuers, for use,
etc. against Fly. 1t is alleged in this
case that the defendant Fly, who is a
notary public, certified to an acknowl-
edgement where the party executing
the deed did not, in fact, appear, but
was impersOnated by another No
fraud is charged against the notary
public, simply negligence or lack of
care in ascertaining the identity of the
maker of the instrument. There are
also a number of other legal proposi-
tions at issue.
The argument in this case COM
menced on Tuesday and will not be
concluded until late during the day.

Idaho team was not profitable, accord

of. making Butte last week, having
f,x the team with a deficit on hand.
As q result an appeal is made to all
fans to be present at the two games
scheduled for this week, SO that tue
deficit may be wiped out.
Ia the first game of the series last
week, Idaho lost to Gonzaga. Tne
poor showing was due to the fact that
half the team members were up the
night before at the Sigma Nh fire and
the the train journey did not add t.
their freshness preceding the game at
Spokane. At Missoula Idaho defeated
Montana in three games. In the first
game Idaho won to 8. In tue sec
ond game the score was z to 1 after
Montana run up a four-score lead in
the first two innings. In superior
sIugging in the tenth inning, Idaho
proved supreme. The third game re-
suited in a score of IL 70 4. At Butte
