INVITATION TO
COUNTY AGENTS
FORMALLY EXTENDED BY VICE
PRESIDENT ANDERSON OF
BOARD OF TRADE.

AS predicted in The Herald an ef-
fort will be made to have the next
meeting of the county agents of Mid
die Tennessee held in Columbia, Vice
President William F. Anderson, Of the
Board of Trade, today sent the follow
ing letter to Prof. J. M. Dean, the
supervising agent for Middle Tennes-
see:
PROF. J. M. Dean, Columbia, Tenn.
My dear Mr. Dean:
"On behalf of the people of Colum-
bia and Maury county, I am writing
to ask that you use your influence to
bring the meeting of the county agents
Of Middle Tennessee to Columbia this
spring. We will have abundant hotel
accommodations for them and it will
be pleasure to the Board Of Trade
and the citizens of the city and county
to give them evidence of our genuine
pleasure at having them here. We be-
hoNt tlidI q SCpblOu III hC
will be of mutual benefit; that they
will, in trip over part of the coun-
ty, which we expect to make it posi-.
BILE for them to make, receive some
benefits from their stay here. Again
it was in Maury county that in many
respects most remarkable progress in
advanced farming was made during
the past year. Not only that but 1t
will be just as convenient and just as
inexpensive for the agents to come
here as it would to go to Nashville.
Il assure you on behalf of the
Board of Trade that your efforts in
this direction will be appreciated. -
Very truly yours,
WIN. F. ANDERSON. /
