In our report of April IL, 1920,
we showed that in making distri-
button of 1919 an excess amount
in the sum of $383.S2 was distrib-
uted by Miss Harris, in error, and
recommended that such amount be
deducted by Mr.. Washburn, the
present superintendent from the
distribution to be made by him IN
1920, and that same be applied
upon the above balances shown to
be remaining due, leaving an
amount remaining due thereon in
the sum of $1,6OO.42 as shown on
the foregoing page.

following payments have been
made by Miss Harris upon above
balance; and further, that she has
made assignments of amounts due
her to apply on same as follows:

BIG INCREASE IN I.
ALFALFA CROP
MAURY FARMERS TO SOW GRIM
SON CLOVER AND ALFALFA,
SAYS COUNTY AGENT.

Farmers of Maury county are now
breaking land for the sowing of Grim
son clover and alfalfa. County Agent
Mclean says thousands of acres OF
land in this county will be sown with
clover and alfalfa before fall. Mr..
Mclean is urging that every farmer
in the county SOW at least small
field in either Crimson clover or al
falfa. This not only increases the fer
tility of the land, but also provides
winter pasturage for stock.
h The county council slogan for the
year is Alfalfa in every community
of the county," and from the increas-
ing orders for crushed limestone, it Is
evident that the propaganda of the
council is meeting with approval at
the hands of the farmers. County
Agent Mclean will be glad to order
lime for farmers who desire it, and
he urges that orders be placed as
soon as possible, as shipments are al
ready far behind.

REWARDS PREACHER
FOR EARLY MARRIAGE
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF DR.. ROB.
lsoN, WHO Welded COUPLE
HALF CENTURY AGO.

There is at least one wife in Maury
county who after welded experience
of forty-eight years is worth more to
her husband than the original cost, a
most gratifying fact in these days OF
plentiful divorces. A short time ago
Rev. w. NJ. Robson, the well known
Cumberland Presbyterian pastor, was
hailed by an old man and his wife in
the buggy with him. Addressing the
preacher the traveller said: Forty
eight years ago you married me to
this good woman. AS a mark OF my
appreciation here is little present
for you" And he handed Mr.. Robson
a five dollar bill. In all of his fifty
years experience as a minister moth
ing like this had ever occurred. This
is pretty good evidence that appreeia-
eion for the best thing in life. good,
devoted wife, still may be found in
these times when marriage is too
lightly treated.

Facilities Are Needed.

Harlan, Porter & Walker, one of
Columbia's most progressive hardware
firms closed deal late Wednesday
afternoon whereby they become own
ers OF two store buildings in the south
east corner of the square.
One of the buildings, for number
of years occupied by Calendar & Co.,
was purchased from C. d. Park and
the other was purchased from w. p.
Morgan. This firm has been using
the Morgan building for several years
as an implement room, but owing to
the enlarged growth of the business it
has become necessary to have more
floor space and they have been rent
ing the large warehouse on East Sew
enth street from Moore & Sons, and
this necessitated the keeping of one
man practically all the time at that
place.
ii. A. Porter, one of the members

plans for the remodeling of the build
ings had not been perfected, but at
least for the present it would be so ar
ranged that they would communicate
with each and that eventually they
would erect large warehouse upon
the site taking nthe vacant lot in
the rear of the Park building which is
space of 70x90 feet Both of these
buildings are two stories high with
easements and with the two buildings
it is believed that the firm will be
enabled to keep their implement busi-
ness under ore roof and nearer the
head store.
When asked if the present store
would be moved from South Main
street, Mr.. Porter stated that it would
not, but that he hoped some time in
the future to erect magnificent store
and warehouse on their new property.

pROOEEDS GIVEN GOOD WOMEN
Sale Of Car Load of Fine Grade Ewes
And Pure Bred and Graded Rams
Here on Next Monday Promises to
Attract a Large Crowd.

One of the features of the big
sheep sale on next Monday at the
stable or r. F., Mules & Sons will be
the auctioning of pure bred Hamp-
shire ram for the benefit of the Kings
Daughters hospital. Mr.. Blastock
and his associates in this sale have
given to the good women who manage
the hospital one of the finest bred
Hampshire rams that will be brought
here. This ram will be sold at
public auction on Monday during the
sale and every dollar of the proceeds
will go to the hospital.
The women who are responsible
for the sale are appealing to their
friends to assist them in making this
ram bring his full worth. The money
Is very much needed by the hospital
since only $4,000 of the $4,000 for
which an appeal was recently made
was secured.
This sale on Monday of car load
of fine grade ewes and pure bred
bucks is attracting a great deal of at
tention and is certain to be largely
attended. This is one of the finest
consignments of sheep ever made to
this section, and coupled with the
fact that Maury county farmers have
just had an unusually profitable year
with sheep makes the demand excep-
tionally good. Mr.. Blastock who has
consigned the sheep to Columbia is
one of the largest importers OF Hamp-
shires in the county. Together with
his brother he operates the celebrated
Walnut Hill farms in Kentucky and
has large sheep interests in Idaho in
England and in Australia.
Representatives of the American
Hampshire breeders association, the
Kentucky sheep breeders association
and the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railroad will attend the sale.
The sale is being held under the asus-
pices of Maury county live stock as
sociiation.
