NOISY WELCOME
GIVEN new YEAR
by PEOPLE HERE
uSHERED IN WITH SHRlEks OF
WHISTLES AND THE RINGING
OF MANY BELLS.
PARTIAL HOLIDAY IS OBSERVED
Banks and Postoffices Closed With the
City and Rural Carriers Getting
Day Off.--OtherWise Business Pro-
ceeds as Usual.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
With the shrek of whistles, the
ringing of bells and the roar of fire
crackers, the wild noise Of automobile
cut outs wide open, the New Year
1921 was given noisy and cordial
welcome in Columbia this morning.
AS soon as the court house clock
struck the hour of midnight an engine
in the railroad yards emitted whis.
tie that probably lasted for three min.
utes. When the last plaintive notes, a
sort of requiem for the old year, had
died down, there was moments lull
and perfect bedlam of noise let
loose 1t kept up Tor several minutes.
Many virtuous citizens who had retir-
ed early, just as they would on other
nights of the year, were awakened
from their troubled dreams with the
sub-conscious feeling that something
had gone wrong with the universe,
They did not know exactly what it
was, while others had the impression
that the town was burning up. A mo-
ment's reflection, allayed these fears
and the true cause Of the confusion
appeared.
Aside from the watch night parties
81 a
and the celebration at midnight the
day is observed here just about as any
other day of the month. The banks
and postoffices are closed, but other
wise business is proceeding about as
usual and those perterious individ-
uals who APPARENTLY never take vaca-
ton, the bill collectors, are just as
active today as though New Years was
the commonest. occurrence in the
whole calendar of days.
The entire postoffice force here and
elsewhere In the county is having a
vacation, a deserved one, too, for they
worked all Of Christmas day when the
rest of the folks were eating turkey
at home There is no mail delivery
either in the city or county. The
stores APPARENTLY had about the usual
amount of business. Stock taking is
generally over and the bushes Offices
were busy casting up figures for the
past year.
There will be the usual number of
social affairs today to usher in the
New Year and a few dining will take
place with others to follow tomorrow,
but by Monday all the folks in this
section will be fully recovered from
more in the humdrum of life.

COUNTY OFFICERS
BUSY PLACES As

TAX PAYMENT GETS OFF WITH

Hundreds Swarm to His Office for

From Mondays Daily Herald

From Mondays Daily Herald)
The temple of justice was the
scene of great activity this morning
All day long the Offices at the court
house were crowded to capacity with
farmers in town to pay taxes to secure
automobile license and to transact
other official business.
Perhaps one OF the busiest Offices
was that Of Trustee j. Ross Burns,
the tax books, which should have been
opened in October, having just been
received, were opened for the pay
ment of taxes, and all the morning
farmers stood in line waiting to get
to the window. During the day hun
dreds of dollars were collected, and
it is believed that the rush will be
continued as some two months less
thansthe usual time has been given
for the payment in taxes in this coun-
ty, due to the delay of the state board
of equalization in certifying to the
Maury county assessment. No extern
sion from the usual date of Delinquent
cy will be extended this year for the
payment of taxes, and necessarily this
will add to the eleventh hour rush at
the Trustees Office.
Still another Office OF the court
house unusually busy today was that
of County Court Clerk Lipscomb, who
together with deputies was kept con-
stantly on the go issuing 1921 automo-
bic license, merchants lice Use, etc.
The office of County Register Pogue,
which ont the first day of January,
1920, was almost swamped in an ava
lanche of business, was somewhat
quieter today.
Taken as whole, the business
transacted today did not evidence any
feeling of business depression" of
which so much has been said, and so
little has been seen.
