ON ROAD FIVE DAYS
FROM swan CREEK
MUDDY ROADS AND ACCIDENTS
MAKE TRAVEL A SLOW MAT l'
TER FOR CAMPERS. 'os

Weary and worn, after five days on
the road, Serb and Davis Pogue and
bob" Upshaw returned last night
from Swan Creek in Hickman county,
where they had been camping for sew
eral days. They report heluva time
getting back at all. The first trouble
came when the fan belt of the car in
which they were driving made it's es
cape in some manner. Every half
mile Lizzie" would get over-heated,
ard 1t was necessary to stop and cool
off-but they did not give up the ship
for four days, progressing inch by
inch until they struck bad roads
when down went an axle or two. and
these had to be repaired-so the car
was abandoned. and the boys "taxied"
into the city last night, sunburned and
mud spattered, tired but happy.

Money is nothing but stored up

Mr.. Caldwell paused bong enough to

success. IF man don't like to see
dirt fall over the wing of plow, he
is not worth living. And three good

added. These statements coming in
rapid succession, as they did, brought
forth the most spontaneous burst of
applause that the convention had ex-

SELLS FOR GOOD PRICES in
AUCTION WEDNESDAY.
BULL POGlS TOPS THE SALE
Purchased by j. Benson Redding, of
CulIeoka, for $725, After Stiff Bat
tie With Marshall County-Some
Bargains, Knocked Down.

Nineteen head of registered Jer-
seys from the herd of Mora B. Fariss
were sold on Wednesday at an aver
age of $208 head in one of the best
sales of registered Jersey cattle ever
held in the county. The top animal
of sale was Mr.. Fariss's bull Poeis
99th of Hood Farm 5Oth. This animal
alter spirited bidding was sold to j.
Benson Redding, prominent young
farmer of, Culleoka, for $725. A Mar
shall county dairyman ran Mr.. Red
ding close race.
The top COW OF the sale was Land
seer of Fairview Second, sold to Man
son & Sugg for $500. They are of
Rutherford county.
Twenty-nine head of Joseph Balan-
FAINT, OF Culleoka, in the same sale
averaged Sill each, the top of this
sale being Culleoka's Beauty which
brought $500. The bull from Mr.. Bal

bargains that he will ever secure.
Charles P. Hatcher had three head
in the sale for which he received an
average of sos.
The sale was success, although
there were some cows and heifers
that went entirely too cheap. Bar
gains were piled up by several of the
buyers. The sale was we'll attended,
there being buyers here from various
parts of the state and bids received
from other states. The University of
Tennessee bought three head for use
in the dairy herd that is to be estab-

A gratifying feature of the sale
was that the major portion of the
best cows remained in Maury county,
although several mighty good ones
went to other counties of the state.
But the great young bull will be a
fixture in the rapidly developing dairy
section of Culleoka
The sale was cried by Col. James
