In Charoe-Opportunities Offered.

The officers in charge OF the looa
recruiting station here have been Lit
orally mopping up the last three day.
and a total of seven men have beer
accepted by them. Five men were &C
cepted yesterday and sent to head
quarters in Nashville.
All the men accepted are Maury
county boys and are about as fine
looking bunch as one could find in the
county. Following are their names. I.
DOCK J. Brown, Ernest Dooley. Frank
Loftin, David c. Dickey and Frank
Speed.
Recruiting has been going on in
| Maury county at rapid rate since
congress declared that a state of war
existed and some of the finest boys
u the county are enlisting to uphold
the. country's honor. Alvin Stone,
luist in charge of the station here is
always on the job and is never too
tired to answer any questions asked
him OF life in the army. The army
offers excellent advantages for men
and anyone wishing to know more of
the life that his boy would lead in the
army should not hesitate to visit the
recruiting station and the officers will
De only too glad to answer any cues
tlons concerning the army.
All those entering the army now
will be dismissed after the war and s.
no one can pull the old excuse OF
signing up for long time and spend
1t all in the camps. The new posters
gotten out by the army are the bes
seen in the city and makes the spirit
OF '76 run through ones veins.
With the many jobs opened in the
army now it is perhaps the most prom
ising field that a young man could
enter. He is well taken care of and |
trained to a high degree and many |
men are seeing the opportunities and |
taking advantage of it. From the |
many naval stations over the state
recruiting is also progressing there
rapidly and Tennessee is right at the
'front.' in the number of recruits ac.
;epted in both army and navy. Off.
,ers declare that Tenensseans are nat
lrally born soldiers easily trained
'bed1ent and know no fear and the
folunteer State has a reputation to
i've up to during the coming struggle.

Probably the largest check ever
paid to Maury county farmers for
the wheat crop, certainly the highest

OF wheat, was paid today by the Co.
lumbia Mill & Elevator Company to
William P Ridley, of Clifton Place
and John NJ. Gray. The wheat was
purchased at $3.50 per bushel, the

i1ere. Together Messrs. Ridley and
Tray had stored in the elevator of the
Columbia Mill G. Elevator Company
S425 bushels. They received a check
'or s21,061.S3. This wheat had been
stored last summer by the owners in
he elevator and was therefore fres

LARGEST SHIPMENT

FIVE HUNDRED FINE ANIMALS
BROUGHT HERE FOR THE
BRITISH ARMY.
STAMPEDE THROUGH STREETS
One OF The Handsome Lots Of AMI
mails That Have Ever Been Brouqht
Into the City-Some for all Depart
ments of Army.

More than five hundred British army
horses stampeded Saturday afternoon
when large force of men were at
tempting to drive them from the Co
lumbia Stock Yards to the concentra.
ton CAROLS on the Pulaski pike.
Dr. Blakeway, the English officer in
charge of the horses and mules at
this point, with large force of men
had turned the horses out and they
were proceeding out South High
street when in some manner they got
stampeded and turned backward.
Those who were left behind were
thrown into state of panic almost
when they looked up and saw the
seething mass OF horses come rush
ing down the street to the stock yards.
The gate to the large entrance hall
to the yards was thown open, but ii
was soon filed, and the horses came
on and soon the little yard to the en-
trance of the stock yards was filled
and the horses were crowding down
upon the men trying to guard the en-.
trance onto the railroad, but the force
was so great that about one hundred
of the animals broke through and
rushed down the railroad track and
flying through some of the principal
streets OF the city, on into town, but
were headed off and finally driven
back to the stock yards.
One Of the animals in the. crowdina |
at the mouth of the High street under.
pass or more Familiarity known to the
Columbia people as the rat hole,'
broke by one of the guards and rushed
on inside of the enclosure, and onto
the concrete wall, he later tried to
turn round and fell into the hole,
distance of about fifteen feet, onto the
concrete pavement below, crushing
one of his hips and receiving injuries
internally, from which he died few
minutes later. The horse that fell in
the underpass was a handsome black
animal and weighed about 1,400
pounds.
This shipment of horses is the lar
sest ever received here and was one
of the handsomest lot ever seen in
this section. Several animals in the
lot weighed as much as 100 pounds
each. 1t is estimated that they are
worth on an average of 5000 each,
making a total valuation of more than
100000. These horses will be held ! |
here awaiting orders from the Eng. r
nsh government. They will be later r
shipped to Newport News and from c
there to England and on into France,
where they will be used for heavy y
artillery purposes. |,
