WHAT HAPPENED TO JIMMIE
COON.

WHEN all the little animals heard
w that awful yell in the stone house
of the porcupines, they trembIed with
fright, for they thought Mr. Wolf
or Mr.. Red Fox must be on the war
path.
It didn't sound like Jimmie Coon's
voice at all. Little Peter Rabbit was
all for running home. He was
frightened nearly to death, but Ted
dy Postum held him by the left ear
and whispered to him: Gust wait
minute and see what is the matter,
for if you run you may run right
into the arms of Mr. Wolf"
So little Peter settled right down
under bush, and Teddy Postum
looked into the house of Mr.. Por-
cupine,
What was going on in Mr.. Porcu-
pines house?
Jimmie Coon stood in the hall or,
rather, he jumped up and down for
his vest was filled with the sharp
barbed spears of Mr.. Porcupine and
Alphonse.
No one would ever have thought
that Jimmie Coon had such an awful
voice My, how he could yell
AS soon as GULLY Porcupine saw
that the visitor was Jimmie Coon, he
felt dreadfully sorry Off he wouldn't
have hurt Jimmie for the world. He
tried to pat Jimmie Coon on the back

AND AN ICE PLANT
MOVEMENT LAUNCHED TO SUP.
PLY PRESSING NEED IN THAT
COMMUNITY.
PRELIMINARY MEETING is HELD
VIII Have Committee to Make Survey
and ascertain the cost of installing
the Plant-Number of Springs Are
Considered.

An ice and cold storage plant at
CulleOka before next summer is a
strong probability. A meeting of sew
eral of the leading citizens of that
community was held Friday night
and plans for selling the stock in such
an enterprise were discussed. It's
benefits were brought forcibly to the
attention of the community and every
one present agreed that such a plant
would not only prove boon to the
entire community but would be a prof
table investment
Culleoka is not only the great can
teloupe producing section of the coun-
ty, but from the station there go the
largest shipments of poultry and eggs
of any station in this section, except
ing Columbia. 1t is in the very center
of great egg and poultry producing
region. The need for ice and cold
storage there is great. 1t has been
exceedingly difficult this summer to
obtain sufficient ice for the needs of
the community and frequently people
have had to do without.
number of the citizens and farm
ers were interviewed today and prac-
tically without exception they agreed
that they would take stock in the en-
terprise. 1t is planned to secure a
small sum with which to ascertain the
cost Of the plant. A number of springs
are under consideration for obtaining
the necessary water supply and sur
veys will be made to determine the
feasibility of using them

HERALD ADS BROUGHT
TOO MANY APPLICANTS
MRS. GEORGE BUYER DECIDED
SHE WOULD KEEP HOUSES
SHE HAD ADVERTISED.

81 never expect to advertise any
thing else in that Herald" said Mrs
George Buyer, of North High street,
to her son-in-law, Jim Underwood,
after she had advertised two houses
in the city and farm for sale. Then
she explained that she had been "wor.
ried to death" by people applying tn
her to buy them. 1t was constant
ring of the telephone or knocking at
the door after the little classified ads
appeared, said Mrs. Buyer.
So many people wanted to buy these
houses that Mrs. Buyer decided that
if they were that valuable and desir-
able she would keep them herself.
This incident demonstrates again
the value of Herald classified ads rs
well as the great demand for houses
in Columbia.

FOUR THOUSAND PAY
POLL TAXES IN COUNTY
PROBABLY 5000 VOTERS ARE
QUALIFIED IN ELECTION ON
CONVENTION.

Approximately 1000 persons have
paid poll taxes in Maury county and
are qualified to vote in the election
for or against calling a constitutional
convention on September 4. The
time within which poll taxes could be
paid to qualify for this election ex-
PRED on last Monday. The lack of
interest in the election i, shown by
the fact that during the past week
only three persons paid poll taxes and
they were negroes. a.-..
There are probably a thousand vot-
ers in the county who are qualified to
vote without the payment of poll
taxes, being over age. This means
that there are 5000 qualified voters.
but the highest estimate of the proba-
BILE number to vote does not exceed
half of that. There is simply no in
terest whatever in the election.

E. p. Turner, manager of the Smart

announced this morning that he had
bought an exceptionally large quanti-
ty of the newest styles and models
of ready-to-wear. Mr. Turner said
that he found trade conditions in New
York congested because of the labor
situation. Shops that had sufficient
supply of material were operating
with about one-third their usual force
and were unable to employ more
forkers at any price. Strikes and
continual shifting of the workers have
kept the manufacturers in hot water
and they would not promise immedi-
ate deliveries.
Mr. Turner said that the Smart
Shop would open about September /,
but that the exact date would not be
announced until a sufficient stock is
received to make a good showing He
said that he had decided TO make a
test of the trade here by buying a
stock of ready-to-wear that is che

prices ranging from low to the high

After long rest the Columbia fire
department has been given a series
of fires to handle beginning at the one
at the Hodge building, southwest cor
ner of the square, Wednesday night
and ending with a blaze on the roof
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, South Main street, early this
morning. A cottage owned by Walter
McCandless and occupied by the fami-
ly of John Howell, was badly damaged
by fire at 1890 last night and false
alarm at the Johnson Machine Shop
on Tenth street was turned in few
minutes later.
The fire at the Howell home started
in the kitchen and had made consider
able Roadway before the fire engine
could reach the scene. Most of the
household furniture except that in the
kitchen, was saved, but the house
was badly damaged throughout
Sparks from this fire on the roof
on the Cumberland Presbyterian
church next door are supposed to
have caused the blaze that called out
department again at o'clock. Slight
damage was done to the roof of the
church before the department got
there. The church roof had been
thoroughly soaked before the engine
left the fire at the Howell home, but
it is thought that a smouldering spark
remained to start the blaze later in
the night
