Membership in
The Red Cross
Shows Increase

Chairman Gilbert Orr, of the Red
Cross campaign for new membership
and funds with which to carry on the
Red Cross work in Maury county dur
ing this year, said this morning, THE
drive for members has been a sue
cess. and that no further efforts on
the part of the workers will be made
to secure new memberships, however,
any person who desires to become a
member OF the organization may do
so by sending his subscription to
Fred Latta, roll call secretary, or
to Gilbert Orr. general chairman.
The campaign for funds has met
with a very poor response, and very
little can be accomplished with the
money now on hand and Mr. Orr has
determined to call meeting of the
executive committee for the purpose
OF ascertaining what further steps
shall be taken in the campaign.
During Tuesday solicitors on the
streets secured many new member
ships, however, the reports are not
yet all in. and it is thought several
days will be required to tabulate the
returns. When this work has been
completed, the information viii ap-

1t is said that there will be some
sensational developments as the re-

That Maury county has not been
immune from the wave of crime and
disorder that has swept over the en-
tire nation during the past year is
shown in the docket of the circuit
court More serious offenses are list
ed than has been the case in recent
years. More killings have occurred
in the county since the last term of
the circuit court than during similar
period in recent years.
The personnel of the grand jury has
excited no little favorable comment.

county and can be depended upon to
do its whole duty in all matters un-

surprising if the number of indict-

those for several terms past.
If the grand jury returns indictments
against dog owners of the county who
have not paid their dog taxes the list
Is going to be long one because
comparatively few of the dog owners
have paid the taxes.
Whether or not the grand jury will
go after the cigarette sellers Is a

Hogs Killed In
Some Sections
Of The County

Believing the present cold wave
will continue for another day or two,
it is reported that farmers in some
sections of the county are killing hogs
today. More conservative owners of
the porkers are waiting until winter
sets in in earnest.
1t is said there are more hogs in
Maury county to be butchered this
season for home consumption than
ever before, as scores of people, who
in the past have been buying their
meat, this season decided to fight the
high cost of living by raising their
own hogs. The experiment has prov
en- success, and the family meat has
been secured at practically no eX-
pense, and the farmers of the county
need not fear famine as long as the
present supply Of hog and hominy ex.
it's.
The weather forecast for Friday is
fair weather, but nothing is said of
continued cold, however, reports from
some western states places the tenn
perature several degrees below zero.
