USUAL DIVIDEND
MAURY NATIONAL
IN ADDITION A SUBSTANTIAL
SUM is PASSED TO THE
SURPLUS.

At the meeting of the directors OF
the Maury National Bank on Thursday
the usual semi-annual dividend of six
per cent was declared and $4,000 was
added to the surplus. For many, many
years this bank has paid with unfail-
ing regularity twelve per cent divi-
dend every year, and has regularly
added to the surplus. The bank has
prospered during the past six months
as shown by the splendid statement
recently made.
The directors of the Maury County
Trust company also met and declared
a four per cent semi-annual dividend
and passed neat sum to the surplus.
This is the youngest but also one of
the liveliest financial institutions of
the city.

NUMEROUS OFFICES
WILL Be FILLED BY
VOTERS NEXT AUGUST
ELECTION IN 1918 MOST iMPoR-
TANT FOR PAST TWENTY
FOUR YEARS.
|IO NAME JUSTICES PEACE
ONLY Four Times In A Century Are
Members Of Court And Judicial OFF,
GERS Elected at the Same Time
Candidates Galore.

Although in Davidson county a prl-
mary for November has been called
to nominate candidates for county and
judicial officers and already in num-
Der of counties the county campaign
is actively on, very little has been
said or thought about the election
next year in Maury county. This. too,
despite the fact that in the election OF
the first Thursday of August, 1918,
more candidates will be voted for than
have been voted for in the county and
state since 1894, or twenty-four years
ago.
ONLY about four times in century
do the people of this state elect JUS
tees of the peace and judicial officers
at the same time This is due to the
fact that terms of justices of the peace
are six years, while those of judicial
officers are eight years.
Voters of Maury county next year
will be called upon to elect a sheriff,
county Judge, county court clerk. cir
cult court clerk, trustee and register.
They will also vote for twenty-four
justices of the peace, eleven consta-
bles, five members of the county board
of education, thirty members of dis
trict advisory boards. Judge Of this
judicial circuit, a chancellor of this
chancery division, and an attorney
general of this judicial circuit.
They will in addition at the same
election vote for five members of the
supreme court and for five members
of the court Of civil appeals. The
ballot will bear marked resemblance
to a blanket.
1t is not believed now that there
will be any contest for Judge, either
in the judicial circuit or the chancery
division. Judge w. Bruce Turner,
who is closing an eigth-year term, 1t
is expected, will be a candidate for
reelection. His services have been
so satisfactory upon the bench that no
sisn of opposition has appeared and
none is expected.
Judge Walter S. Bearden, the vet
eran chancellor, will close thirty-two
years of distinguished service and is
practically assured OF an election
without any opposition. Should be
live to the end of his next term he
will have broken all judicial records
for continuous service in Tennessee.
It is practically certain that Attor-
ney General Horace Frierson. Jr.. will
not be candidate for reelection. He
is already Major Of the First Tennes-
see Artillery and in all probability
when the election occurs next year
will be fighting in the trenches in
France or Belgium. For his place

Games for Sunday School Picnic

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Could you the readers Of
the EVENING LEpGER suggest some games TO be
25gv 2F sSSe sSSe WAY % tno f
Interest the older folks as well as the young
ones.
Thanking you in advance for your biHa q Ie,dyicss,
You can hold races Of different kinds,
some OF them for the younger guests, others
for the older persons.
Fighting for the flag is a particularly
timely game for the younger boys and girls.
You will need about dozen medium.szed
cotton flags of the inexpensive kind One
flag at time In placed upright in the
ground and six girls or boys start in race
TO obtain II. Give them some handicap.
The boys can race with potato sacks. while
the girls can race blindfolded or running
backward or the boys might race crawling
on their hands and knees and the girls
hopping on the right foot Another way to
race Is to go as partners, each holding onto
the opposite ends of a clothespin. OF
course the flags captured by each are re-
tanned.
Ringing the Liberty Bell is another good
game. Form an arch Of three cross poles
rising considerably above the heads Of the
company. lmbed the uprights in the earth
and nail the crosspiece firmly on. Then
decorate the arch with red, white and blue
bunting and from the top bar hang a large
Dell. Inc game consists IN hitting this
bell with balls which are provided, each
player being given three or more throws in
n round.
The tape race is fun. Have as many
lengths Of tape as there will be players
and have all the tapes about the same num-
Der of feet--ten or twelve-then provide
several pairs Of sharp scissors Attach all
the tapes to a fence. Four or six players
may contest at once according TO the pairs
OF scissors available. The contestants hold
the loose ends OF the tapes, which they draw
out taut. At the signal each player begins
TO split his tape up the center line with
the scissors, the player arriving at the end
which Is tied winning the race. After each
set has tried. match the winners for tho
final decision. This would be suitable for
the older guests.
Another race consists in pushing four
pebbles over a prescribed course with walk
ing sticks All four must be rolled at once,
each in turn.
