WATER SUPPLY
WILL Be Pure
IN SHORT time
FlREMEN CONTINUE WORK OF
PUMPING OUT DEAD ENDS OF
CITY WATER MAINS.
WAGING WAR AGAINST TYPHOID
Expected That Notice Will Come In
Few Days That City Water is Again
Fit for Human consumption-Plans
Made for Future.

The work of pumping out water,
believed to be contaminated with ty-
phoid fever germs, from the city wa
ter mains continues. Each night the
fire department is busy running the
pump on the dead ends of the mains.
Mayor w. o. Cherry said that this was
the only way to get rid of the contain
mated water.
The reservoir and filtration plant
has been thoroughly cleaned, officials
announce, and it should be but few
days now until the city water supply
is again pure and wholesome, pro-
vided the contamination came from
the filth in the reservoir and filtra-
tion plant, and not from the river. In
the event it is found that the typhoid
germ found In the water came from
the river, other methods must be
found for believing the situation, and
in this it Is likely that the state de-
partment of health will be called upon
to cooperate, but officials are conf
dent that the contamination did not
come from the river, but directly from
the filth found in the reservoir,
Users of city water are highly in
dignant that the water supply of Co
lumbia should have been allowed to
get into the condition found by DIR.
Olin West in his analysis, which
showed a serious contamination of
typhoid germs. Users of city water
are demanding that some steps be
taken Immediately by the board of
mayor and aldermen to prevent the
recurrence of such conditions, and it
is not unlikely that at the next meet
ing of the council committee will ap-
pear to assist by suggesting some
remedy.
1t has been suggested that the city
order the reservoir cleaned at GER
tain stated intervals each year under
the personal supervision of the health
officer, who shall be held accountable
for the condition of the water. More
drastic measures have also been sug-
gested.
Mayor Cherry stated that although
he could see no reason for the delay
on the part of the water and light
company, which had jeopardized the
lives of hundreds of Columbians, that
the condition had been remedied, and
that he believed that such negligence
in the future would draw the heav-
lest penalty.

Thomas C. Webster, of the eighth
district, has been appointed a mem
ber of the county board of equalizers,
vice Horace Armstrong, resigned
Mr.. Webster is one of the extensive
farmers of the Cross Bridges section
and thoroughly understands property
values.
Some interesting facts develop be-
fore the county board in its examina-
tion OF witnesses. For example occa-
sionally witness appears and frank
ly declares that he paid very much
more for a piece of land than it is
worth and that it should be assessed
far below. sometimes not over half
what he paid for it. There have not
been as many complaints before the
board as one had expected.

IMMENSE CROWD
AT OPENING OF
D|MPLE'S PLANT
PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER cOUN.
TY ACCEPT HOSPITALITY OF
PIONEER CREAMERY.
ABUNDANCE OF CREAM SERVED
Tremendously Increased Demand for
the Products of Concern viii Re.
suit From Actual Demonstration of
Superiority of Their Manufacture.

Hundreds of people, men, women
and children, drawn from all parts of
the county, attended the formal open
ing of the Dimple Ice Cream & Cream
cry Company today. From the open
ing hour at 10 o'clock until 2 O'Clock
there We're steady streams of people
vending their way on foot and in con-
veyances to the plant there to partake
of the products of the company and
see how wonderfully we'll equipped it
was.
Every arrangement had been made
to make the visitors comfortable and
to show them through the plant They
were met by reception committee
composed of the women stockholders,
as follows, Mrs. T. H. Mangrum,
chairman; Mrs. James |. Finney, Mrs.
Walter d. Hastings, Mrs. Lee Foxall,
Mrs S. Roy Hardison, Miss Mary P.
Ridley Mrs. l. r. Sowell, Mrs. H. T.
Sellers and Miss Eliza Russell. They
were assisted by the wives of the
stockholders.
Every visitor was served with just
as much ice cream of any flavor that
was asked for Each was given SOU
venir. There We're pencils for the
men, fans for the@omen and pictures
for the children.
From the refreshment booth the
visitors were taken back for an in
spection of the plant. They saw a
churning of seven hundred pounds of
butter taken off. They saw every de-
vice known to science that will min
imize the danger of any lurking germs
and insure absolute purity, sanitation
and cleanliness insthe handling of the
products in operation. Every one was
enthusiastic in praise of the plant
1t appeared to be the very last thing
in such an institution. Nothing has
been left undone to make it a perfect
one of it's kind. la
That the opening will tremendous
ly stimulate the demand for "Dimple'
products cannot be doubted after hear
ing the comment of the visitors when
they saw how wholesome and clean
and tasted of its milk and cream.
Manager J. B. Lowell was delighted
He beamed upon the hundreds of Wis
itors who sounded his praises and
those of the equipment. He acqui-
esced in the universally expressed
opinion that this pioneer in the cream
cry business of Maury county would
tremendously stimulate the develop
ment Of the dairy intrests Of Maury
county and through that channel add
to the fertility of the county's farms
and the wealth Of its citizens.
In addition to the people from over
the county there was a large number
of visiting retail dealers of the compa-
ny's products from the surrounding
towns. They came from Pulaski,
Lawrenceburg, Athens and other plac-
es. For these and number of other
visitors delicious luncheon was serv-
ed at o'clock, consisting of all the
products of the concern, barbecued
meats and the necessary accessories.
Incidentally it should be remarked
that the crowd that attended the open
ing drawn from every part of Maury
county was further evidence of the
compelling power of Herald publicity,
the medium used to advertise the
opening.
