BIG -FOUR" SETS new ]
PACE IN D|SPOSINGs OF
BIG PEACE PROBLEMS
JOSEPH H. COURTNEY
WAS NOTABLE CHARACTER
DEATH REMOVES FROM COUNTY
MAN OF STRONG INFLUENCE
FOR PUBLIC WELFARE.

One Of Maury countys most notable
characters and prominent citizens was
claimed for realms Of eternity when
Joseph H. Courtney, native of Ireland,
former legislator and many years a
member of the Maury county court,
passed away Wednesday at his home
in the Bigbyville community. Mr..
Courtney was almost four score years
of age and had resided in the Bigby-
vile community continuously since
coming to America from Ireland at the
age of three years with his mother.
Mr.. Courtney represented Maury
county in the general assembly during
the memorable session of 1898 He
also served many years as member
of the county court from the old Sew
enth district. He was an elder of the
Hopewell church, Associated Reform,
Presbyterian, and was man of the
highest integrity and conception of,
citizenship He was twice married,
but without children and leaves no
blood relatives in America. His first
wife was formerly Miss Helen Gordon,
a niece of Judge Wright of Memphis
and an aunt of Mrs. Clifford Adkisson
of this city, and his second wife was
formerly Mrs, Mary Ettta Scott, both
of whom preceded him in death.
The life of Mr.. Courtney was one of
deep impression upon his generation
and times. Before the infirmatives of
age prevented his active particiuation
in public affairs, he was man of wide
influence and always he waste be
found on the side of those things that
stood for the welfare of his communi-
ty, his county, his state and his ma
tion.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed Friday morning at II O'Clock from
the residence by the Rev. c. B. Belts,
pastor of the Hopewell church, and
the interment will be at the Matthews
cemetery near the Thurston Neely
place The following friends will serve
as pail bearers: Albert Mattheys,
John c. Galloway, John Craig, Lowery
Craig, Jonas T. Amis and Billy Max
well.

Get READY FOR
WELCOMING BOYS
OF 115TH 7. A.
SIMILAR DEMONSTRATION TO
THAT OF WEDNESDAY BE CIV
EN- THEM AT COLUMBIA.
WON'T ASK THEM 70 PARADE
Maury County Well Represented In
This Regiment-Immense Crowd to
Greet Home Coming Heroes II Fair
Weather Prevails.

With the boys of the 114th Field Ar
tillery home and duly welcomed,
thoughts OF Maury countians are now
turning to members of the 115th Field
Artillery who are due to arrive here
soon. 1t is certainty that If the
same kind OF weather prevails when
the 115th boys arrive as that which
favored the demonstration Wednesday,
there will be another immense crowd
at the station to welcome the home
coming heroes.
If word of the coming Of the 115th
boys is received in time the Red Cross
canteen committee will make the same
preparations for them as were made
for the Hath and all other citizens
will take the same interest in the well
come demonstration Maury county is
well represented in this regiment.
There is one thing the boys can rest
assured Of, they will not be asked to
parade when they reach Columbia.
Enough has been learned about the at
titude of the men toward parades for
the people of this city not to insist
upon them parading here. All the
people of this county want is an oppor-
tunity to see them and to welcome
them. II they are tired of parading
they will not be asked to repeat the
ordeal here.

HUNDRED DEAD IN PATH
OF STORM THAT SWEPT
TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA
SUNSHINE AND RAIN
BOON TO THE FARMERS
ALL NIGHTS DoWNPouR WILL
GREATLY HELP CROPS OF
COUNTY.

A drenching, soaking rain, that
came down throughout the entire
night of Wednesday VIII prove a big
boon to the farmers of the county.
While the county was not suffering
from a drought, it had commenced to
need good rain very much. Pas
lures are far behind for this season
because of the cold and dry spring.
The unusually warm weather of the
past three days had prepared vegeta-
ton to respond rapidly to warm
rain. Pastures, wheat and gardens
will grow rapidly now.
Although it has been unusually dry
in the county the farmers have made
good use of the opportunity to- work
with the result that much Of the corn
crop is already in the ground. Prob
ably higher percentange of the corn
crop has been planted at this time
than the average for several years
past. However, there are many farm
ers in the county, no matter what the
weather may be, who will not plant
corn before May /. Doubtless more
than half the crop is planted after that
date.
Unfortunately the dry weather last
year killed much of the young clover
but farmers who were fortunate
enough to get stand" now have one
of the most pleasing prospects for
fine hay crop that they have had in
years. Due, however to the bad sea-
son last year the hay crop of Maury
county will be short this season As
a result of the failure of clover and
grasses an unusually large acreage of
beans and peas will be sown.

PLANT SOY BEANS WITH
CORN FOR H0GG|NG DOWN
THAT IS ADVICE OF COUNTY
FARM DEMONSTRATION AGENT
TO MAuRY FARMERS.

Every farmer in Maury county
should plant soy beans or peas in his
crop this year, If he intends to use
the crop for hogging down. That is
the advice of County Farm Demonstra-
tion Agent e. A. Mclean.
Beans are preferable, according to
Mr.. Mclean, because they will stand
more roughing during cultivation than
will the peas. Beans should be plant
er at the same time as the corn and
in the same row. If the planter has no
bean or pea attachment, after planting
the corn change the plate and go on
same row with the corn, taking special
care not to plant the beans more than
one inch deep. If the ground cakes
after planting the beans and corn, use
a spike tooth harrow or 14-tooth har-
row, so as to permit the beans to come
through.
One bushel of soy beans will plant
six acres where corn is planted. The
corn should be no thicker than "a
inches, so as to give the beans good
chance.
Soy beans are as hardy as corn and
can be planted as soon as the ground
warns up.
Get balanced ration by putting
beans in corn" says Mr.. Mclean.
"You can see the hogs eat the beans
for awhile, then they will turn to the
corn and alternate from corn to
beans"
More fat in a shorter feeding period
can be put on by planting beans or
peas in corn. Get lined up with the
hest hog feeders and put soy beans OF
peas in your corn this year.

Il am gratified at the assurances
that have already been given me by

citizens generally, but to put the loan
over, and it would not do, with the
magnificent record Maury county has
made, to fail, it is going to require the
united efforts of every patriot in the

mirably as chairman in previous

Every citizen of this government

incurred in defense Of our homes and
our liberties. A default in an obliga-
ton of our government would be ca
lamity to all alike and is not to be

be exceedingly attractive and will be-
tax free. They will mature in few
years and will be an admirable invest
