MAURY cOUkTY0vER
AsSESSMEN1FOR RED
CROSS SIXTY PER CT.
MORE THAN SIXTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS PLEDGED TO THE
NOBLE CAUSE,
ONLY ten THOUSAND ASKED
Greatest outpourins OF Money For A
Good Cause In the Hisory Of the
County-Hundreds Of People Giving
Literally.

Maury county's total contributions
to the Red Cross war fund were $16,-
O0S. or this sum the Maury chapter
Of Columbia secured $10,605, and the
Mt. Pleasant chapter at Mt Pleasant,
collected the splendid sum of $5,403.
The county was assessed $4,000, so
that 1t has exceeded its assessment by
| sixty per cent and every day addition
l4al sums are reported. It is believed
Nthat the next call for funds will be
Ismet even more literally than this.
Every section of the county contri-
sbnted to this magnificent total and
|there were hundreds of givers, only
|three persons in the entire county
giving more than $1OO each. A very
|arge portion of the funds have al
ready been paid and are deposited
TO the credit of w. G. McAdoo, secre-
tary of the treasury. The campaign
at Mt. Pleasant was managed by DR..
G. Y Clarke while that of Columbia
and for the remainder of the county
was under the direction of President
Fleming and Miss Elizabeth Whit
thorne, the secretary.
A meeting of he executive commit
tee of the Maury chapter was held on
Friday afternoon and the complete
reports of subscriptions and collec-
tions were gone over. 1t is hoped that
within the next day or so full and
detailed report can be made to the
government

sign PLEDGES FOR
PAY RIGHT AWAY
NECESSARY THAT THIS BE DOME
IN ORDER TO COMPLETE
REPORTS.
REQUIREMENT OF GOVERNMENT
ssbscribers' Who Have Not Either
Signed a Note or Pledge or Paid
Should Call on Treasurer McKen-
non as Soon as is Possible.

IL Is important, urgent that every
one who subscribed to the Red Cross
var fund, who has not paid, or signed
note or pledge card, to do so without
any further delay. This is absolutely
necessary because every dollar of this
fund goes to the government of the
United States and the secretary Of
the treasury requires the most rigid
accounting. In other words the cash
and the pledge cards must balance to-
cent with the amount of the sub
scriptions that have been reported.
Those who expect to pay CASH
should pay George Il. McKennon,,
treasurer of the Maury Chapter att
once. II they are not going to pay
cash they should call on Mr.. McKen-
non and sign the pledge card giving
the date when they expect to make
payment.
1t is hoped that every one will OBJ
serve this request because the COM
mittees who solicited the funds, tha
team captains and the officers and
members of Maury Chapter have not
the time to call again on the subscrib-
ers and personally have this detail
attended to. Those who have man
aged and successfully directed this
campaign in Maury county have done
so from purely patriotic motives with
out any compensation whatever and
the subscribers should assuredly at
tend to this detail without any further
request.
1t is the desire of the officers Of
Maury Chapter to make completes
and detailed report to the secretary
of the treasurer as required without;
any further delay.

SHOWERS IMPROVE
CROP CONDITIONS
tRMAURY COUNTY
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT is NOT.
ED DURING THE PAST
WEEK..
THE CORN FIELDS ARE CLEAN
Oat Harvest Is Well Under Way And
What Wheat and Rye There Was
Has Been Cut-very Little Hay,
However, has Been Put up.

Crop conditions in Maury county
have improved very materially during
the past week as the result of show
ers that have fallen in sections of The
county. Nearly all parts of the coin
ty have been visited within the week
by rain and although the fall has not
been heavy in many places it has been
sufficient where lands are cultivated
to do the growing crops much good.
The more than two weeks of dry
weather enabled the farmers generally
to get their crops free from weeds
md grass and they are in fine grow,
ing shape now. The corn crop espe-
cially is promising and since this is
the chief crop of the county this year
its condition is of the highest impor.
tance. Corn has been well cultivated
and while the crop is late the promise
at this season of the year is good.
But there is one big fly in the farm
ers ointment and that is the absence
of hay. There has been practically no
hay cut in the county so far. Some
oats have been used for hay and there
has been little, but very little clover.
The hay must come during the fall
from crab grass and from peas and
beans.
The potato yield is fair, nothing like
what some had hoped that it would be,
but much better than the average for
several years past. All of the wheat
and rye in the county have been cut
and much of the oats, although there
are still many fields of late oats that
have been harvested
Young clover and grass has done
fairly we'll in spite of the dry weather
during the early spring. Taking con-
ditions as whole, the farmers of the
county have little cause to complain
