The sale of the immense plant and
extensive holdings of the Mt. Pleasant
Fertilizer Co., incorporated, to the Vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical Co, is accred-
tied as. one of the biggest deals in the
phosphate industry of Tennessee in
recent years. The deed was fled last
Thursday In the registers Office of
Maury county, the consideration be-
ing given as 100000, but it is under
stood that the liquidation of the af-
fairs of the company in transferring
it's business to the new owners the
stockholders will realize from $175,0O0
to 100000
The Mt. Pleasant Fertilizer Co. was
organized about 1905 and has been
doing an extensive business since
that time, the annual total being given
at from 100000 to $SuO,OOO 1t is
thought that the recent increase in
demand for commercial fertilizer from
the Tennessee field because of the
shipping delays from the Florida ter
ritory win cause an increase to fully
81 100000 this year for the Mt. Pleas
ant company.
Although the plant and business will
be operated in the future by the Vir-

ufacturang department. M. E. Wheel
er of Rutland, Vermont, former presi-
dent and chief stockholder, will retire
from his connection with the COM
pany.
Another feature of the fertilizer
business that indicates growing pros
perity for the company is the realiza-
ton that potash, which for so long
a time has been considered as an es-
sential ingredient of fertilizer, is not
IN fact so important.
The general belief in the need Of
potash for the soil was created by the
propaganda of the German potash pro
ducers who had potash to sell. With
the cutting off of the potash supply
by the war investigations revealed the
fact that it was not potash but phos-
phorous that was most needed by the
soil and that commercial fertilizer
without potash was in most cases as
beneficial as that in which the Ger
man produced chemical was used. AS
this knowledge grows there will be
less demand for the potash porduct
and a greater demand for the domes-
tic kind.

faithful followers of Christ have been
eager to take advantage Of the ia

FAT FOLKS MAY
NOW BECOME
SLIM QUICKLY
Be Moderate In Your Diet.
Breathe Deeply, and
Take TassG0

Fat persons, particularly those
from 10 to 80 pounds above normal
weight will be interested to learn that
they may easily reduce their weight
without starvation diet or tiresome
exercise.
This can best be done by being
moderate in your diet, so that you will
not overtax your assimilative organs,
by getting plenty Of fresh air, by
breathing deeply and by taking tassco
four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from any
druggist in grain tablets, take one
after each meal and one before retir-
ing at night. They cost little, are abb
solutely harmless, are pleasant to
take and are designed to reduce fatty
accumulations in the system where
ever located.
A few days treatment should show
noticeable reduction in weight, the
flesh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health inn
proved, in fact your footsteps should
even become lighter, your work seem
easier and lighter and more buoyant
feeling take possession OF your whole
being.
Every person who is 10 or 20
pounds over normal weight should
surely give this treatment trial
You will probably find that it is Just
what you need.

The wOmanless wedding made a
big hit at the \. NJ. E. Church Satur-
day night. The church was crowded.
This entertainment was worked up by
Mrs. Iona Scott, and Mrs. Minnie
Holloway, two very prominent mem
! bers Of the A. NJ. +. connection. The
| costumes each one wore, were very
becoming and especially the one
worn by Matt Sutton, was most beau
tiful. Matt sure looked good, but Mr..
Butler Martin, the groom, was show
within himself, which was well worth
the price paid at the door.
We would like to mention each
one, but space will not allow, but Mr..

what to do was right there with the
goods, saying nothing about Normal
