More than thirty thousand dollars
of Liberty Bonds were subscribed in
dividually by the directors Of the Phoe-
nix National Bank at meeting held
in the banking house this morning.
One of the members of the board, who
mas worked increasingly to sell bonds
of the nation, suggested that the di.
rectors each take $4,000 individually
of the Liberty Loan and the sugges-
ton was no sooner made than acted
upon and as result over $4,000 was
secured There was practically full
meeting of the seventeen directors of
this splendid institution.
In addition to the individual sub
scriptions of the directors the bank
will take liberty allotment Of the
bonds, having already purchased the
temporary certificates which will be
exchanged for bonds. 1t has also re-
ceiyed large numbers of subscriptions
through the customers, which will
bring the total subscriptions through
this bank to in the neighborhood OF
$65,O0O or $4,000.

LOCAL BATTERY OF
FIRST ARTILLERY
NOW ALMOST FULL
LAWRENCEBURG AND FRANKLIN
ARE BOTH FAR AHEAD OF
COLUMBIA.
BOYS HERE MUST Be Busy
Probable That They Will Not Have
An Opportunity After Saturday to
Get Into This Splendid Organization
To be Filled Then.

Unless the Maury countians who
want to go with the local battery of
the First Tennessee Field Artillery
bestir themselves without further de-
lay or parleying they will not be able
to get into this splendid organization.
The battery is liable to be filled from
Lawrenceburg and Franklin this week
and all who are now hesitating had
better act without delay.
Already Lieut.. Mcneil and Major
Frierson have enrolled seventy-one
men at Lawrenceburg and Capt. Hen
derson has enrolled fifty-one man at
Franklin. On the other hand Major
Frierson and Lieut.. Cant have en-
rolled only thitry-six in this county.
Maury county ought at least to fur
nish one-third of the 100 men neces-
sary to complete the company. This
will be the last week.
Capt. Henderson and Lieut.. Mcneil
have both telephoned that they ex.
pected to increase the number they
have secured in their respective towns
by at last fifty per cent before Satur.
day night. This would give Lawrence
burg 100 men and Franklin IS, which
would allow for reflections in physical
examinations and then would be suffi
cient to fill the battery to authorized
war strength.
