TO PERPETUATE NAME
OF ASHTON'S MILLS
r. L. (TlP) ASHTON DlSMANTEL-
ING AND RESTRICTING CORN
MILL-FLOUR MILL.

r. l.. Ashton is dismanteling the
John B. Ashton corn mill which he
purchased from his brother and is re.
erecting it in the war house west OF
the old mill property, which building
has undergone thorough overhauling
for the reception of the machinery.
Mr. Ashton bought the corn mill
and the warehouse property and will
continue to operate the mill under the
old name of Ashton's Mills. In addi-
ton to the corn mill which he expects
to have in operation by the first of
June, Mr.. Ashton will stall an old
burr mill stone for grinding wheat,
and will operate the mill upon the
old plant, the same as our grand
fathers used to do. Take your turn
of wheat to the mill and an extra
sack for the bran and shorts, and the
grinding will be done on the old plan
of taking one-eighth toll.
Mr. Ashton will manufacture the
same brands of meal and flour that
the Ashton Mills have been manufac-
turing for the past fifty years. The
mill will be operated by power from
one hundred horse power electric
generator that is being installed by
the Southern Cities Power Co., the
new owners of the old mill site and
the dam and water rights. The re
mainder of the power not used by the
mill will be carried to Mt Pleasant.

MIL ALLEN SHIPS
FIFTY CAR LOADS
CATTLE IN 50 DAYS
WITH AN AVERAGE PRICE OF S4,-
900 EACH TO FARMERS AND
GROWERS OF COUNTY.
Tom Curry Of Carriers Creek Sells
Six Heads at an Average OF $3.50
Per Head-county Making Great
Progress In Beef Type.

M. e. Allen gave his check few
days ago for $577.5O for two steers
which was possibly the largest check
ever given in this section Of the coun-
try for two steers or beef cattle of
any kind.
These two particular steers were
red shorthorns and weighed 4125
pounds. The price paid per pound
was IA cents. They were pronounced
absolutely toppy tops.
Mr.. Allen also bought six head of
red shorthorns, Herefonds and Au-
gus steers and beef heifers from Tom
Curry of Carriers Creek for which he
wrote check of $9,0O1, an average
of $3.50 to the animal. The other two
steers brought $2SS.75 each.
The Curry cattle averaged about
100 pounds each and the price paid
per pound was 1874 cents. This was
all practically young stuff which had
been fed and was all Of high class
type of cattle.
During the past GO days Mr.. Allen
has shipped fifty car loads of cattle,
at an average price to the growers
and feeders of $4,000 to the car. An
average car load Of cattle is about
twenty-five head and for the fifty
cars at an average of $4,000 each, rep
resents to the farmers a total of
$500, 900, which is an average price
per head of about $16S.
Most all of this cattle in these fifty
cars have been fed on corn and in
every instance where they were corn
fed, large herds of hogs were run with
the cattle so as to give the feeders
sold off about 200 head of hogs that
were fattened with the cattle for
which he received fifteen cents per
pound, making net profit of about
$4,000 off the hogs.
AS it will be seen from the figures
given above Maury county is improv-
ing in the class of beef cattle that
are being grown The most of these
cattle were all of the shorthorn, but
all were of either Thoroughbred type
or the herds had registered bulls at
the heads.
For the past five years Maury coun-
ty has been making some wonderful
strides in the growing of beef cat
tie. There are now at present more
than one hundred herds of registered
beef cattle of the different species in
the county, and those who have not
the thorough bred registered herds,
have the registered bulls at the head
of their grade herds, which in many
instances has proven to be equal to
the thoroughbred herds
The old idea of attempting to breed
and sell Jersey bulls for beef is
rapidly 1adlng into oblivion, and the
time will soon come when all of the
Jersey bull calves will be sold off foy
veal and the Jersey will be used only
for her milk and butter, for which she
has no equal. When this is said
it is not intended to cast a re-
Election upon the Jersey, for there is
nothing pretter on four legs than

addition to these, large number of

And everything is filed to overflow;

While Uncle Sam will rub his hands

THINGS WE SHOULD EVER
REMEMBER

We should remember that we are
not engaged in war as wars have
been known in the past.
This war bears no resemblance to
the Revolutionary War, to the War
of 1912, to the Civil War or the
Spanish War. 1t is not a war in the
sense that they were wars. They
were wars for great principles, wag-
ed by civilized human beings.
In Europe we are fighting not a
war as wars have been known. We
are community trying to stop a
gang of assassins, of cutthroats, of
rapists and looters from carrying
into effect the destruction which for
helf century they have been plan
ming.
We are not fighting soldiers as sol
diers; we are trying to overcome
lot of assassins and rapists who
started out to destroy civilization and
conquer our community and all the
world in order to murder, to .enslave
and to loot all other people.
Never let us for one moment think
of Germany and of it's armies from
any other point of view, because un-
less we see the situation in the true
light we shall not fully understand
that peace with an uncrushed Ger
many would be peace with gang
Of murderers and outragers and rob-
bers, and would be a disgrace to all
civilization.
Does a community which has been
attacked by gang of murderers and
loeters and rapists accept their offer
of peace terms in order not to punish
the criminals and not to make the
families of these criminals suffer?
Does a community when it has
caught the red-handed murderer or
the rapist say, "We must not pun
ish him because his wife and chill
dren would suffer-"
Does a community when its po-
icemen and it's citizens summoned to
their help have been done to death
by gang Of cutthroats and robbers
accept from these criminals an offer
of peace provided they return part
of the loot, leaving them free to
wreak their vengeance upon the same
community in the future, and count
the mercy shown merely as pusillani-
nous, neurOtic sentimentalism or as
plain cowardice, lacking moral cour-
age to punish the evil-deer?
Criminals know that they will be
punished if caught; they know that
any pity which would forbid their
punishment is contrary to the laws
of God and the experience of human
ity. Then enter upon their scheme
of murder and robbery with their
eyes open, taking the chance of death
for the hope of loot.
Germany is in exactly this situa-
ton. It's people know that they are
murderers, highwaymen, robbers and
outragers who took the chance, hop
ing and fully expecting to bring
home the spoils. They entered joy
ously, hilarioUsly upon the campaign.
They cared not how much suffering
other people had to endure; they
cared not how many millions they
murdered. These things moved them
>ot. All they were after was rob-
~, individual and national, and no
,me was great enough to shock them
Z it brought thea nearer to their

On These Three Truth.
% You have the whole world
against you. Your Government af-
ter the smashing defeat of last June,
has lost all hope of victory. Today
one million and 100000 Americans
are fighting in France. By Septem-
Der they will be 100000. And Am
erica is building double the number
of ships that the few German sub
marines succeeded in sinking.
(2) Your poor crop will hardly
last enough to give you poor bread
for the next few months, but next
winter you will suffer as you never
suff cred before, because Germany has
taken for herself nine-tenths of the
grain of Roumania, Russia, Galicia
and great part of your own crop.
(3) After the treaties of Brest-Lit-
owsk and of Bucharest, after the way
Russians, Roumanians, Ukrainians
and Firms have been and are being
betrayed, no one can believe in the
good faith of the Governments of
Austria and Germany. That is why
the Entente wll5never make peace
with the existing governments of
Germany and Astria-Hungary.
On the other hand:
The Entente is ready to make
peace with a free German people, and
with the free people of Austria-Hun-
gary, Germans and Magyars includ-
ed, the moment their military oligar-
chies have fallen, and are no longer
in a position to let loose other wars
or bring disaster to the world or to
yourselves.
This peace will be peace of free
dom, of work, and of reciprocal res
pect.
