SURFACE CLOSETS TO
Be ABOLISHED NOW
CITIZENS WITHIN SEWER AREA
MUST MAKE CONNECTIONS
w WITHOUT DELAY. .s{.s

Residents who have not yet abolish
ed their surface closets within the
area supplied by sewers are solemn
ly warned by both the state and city
health boards that they will suffer the
full penalties of the law unless they
do SO at once. There are number
OF citizens who have made the neces-
sary connections but who are still
keeping surface closets for the use of
servants. These will not be tolerated
any longer, it was announced today.
The state board of health has writ
ten the city board of health calling, at
tention to certain conditions in the
city and urging campaign against
the fly. 1t is obvious that it is diff
cult to fight the fly with the surface
closet, therefore the city's ordinances
must be enforced The state board OF
health, 1T is announced, will see that
the law is observed The local author
tiles feel that sufficient time has been
given everyone in which to make sew
er connections and to abolish surface
closets and no further margin is going
to be allowed
This is health measure, it was stat
ed today, that is backed by both the
state and local health boards. Sum-
mer will soon be here and surface
closets in the central portion of the
city, where population is congested,
are not only offensive, but they are a
positive menace to the health of the
entire city.

THREATENED DR0UGA
COPlOUS DOWNPOUR WILL
PROVE OF IMMENSE VALUE
TO ALL CROPS.
GREAT AID TO the OATS
Both in Grasses and Grain Crops and
In Condition Of Live Stock There Is
Little to Be Desired Now by Farm
ers of Maury.

Copious rains, worth thousands
upon thousands of dollars to the farm
ers of Maury county, have fallen dur
ing the past twenty-four hours, effec-
tually breaking a drought that was
threatening to be serious. The lands
are now thoroughly soaked and farm
ers will not longer be delayed in plant
ing by reason of the unavoidable con-
ditions of their soil. Lands that We're
sown to winter cover crops and pas.
tured can now be turned and planted
to corn.
Pastures have been renewed and
young clover and grass that had been
endangered by too much dry weather
will grow rapidly. The gardens are
already noticeably responding to the
rain
Wheat and other small grains, par
ticularly oats, were suffering from a
lack of rain. Many of the oats fields
Of the county were bitten in the recent
cold weather and this rain will do
wonders for them. 1t will also prove
big help to the young corn.
Wheat prospects continue to be
splendid, although in the past few
days there have been indications of
some deterioration. Too much hot,
dry weather at this stage is not
healthful for wheat.
Taking all conditions, however,
into consideration and the farmers of
the county have never had less to COM
plain about. Cattle and hogs and
sheep are all doing splendidly COM
ing through an exceptionally mild win
ter in fine condition to go on grass.
