mother with her daughter whom she
had not seen for. nearly twenty years
ad who was thought to be dead all
that time is unfolded by Jonas H. Err
win, superintendent of the 'Maury

one than the ones that are written by

Some twenty years ago, when the
daughter was a small girl. and the

Maury county's newly completed

Chief Engineer Gloster that he had
travelled through Minnesota, Indiana,
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-

state had he found such a splendid
road as right here in Maury county.
The same thing is being said by the
hundreds of tourists travelling from
the North to the South now. and when
these tourists return to their homes,
Maury county ana Columbia will
receive much splendid publicity at the
hands of these travellers, who will

County Agent NJ. V. Keger, assisted
by A. l.. Jordan, marketing specialist,
division of extension, assisted the
farmers of Hawkins county in selling
1,109 pounds of wool comparatively
recently.
The wool was consigned by So farm
ers. About half of it graded as clear
and brought II cents: light bury. il
cents; medium bury, lie; and hard
bury, Sc. The Springfield Wooden
Mills, which has purchased large
part of the wool sold comparatively
in the state this year, submitted the
best bid and got the wool. This was
the first cooperative wool sale ever
attempted in the county and the farm
ers were highly pleased with it. 1t is
estimated that from 21s to &c more
per pound was secured for the wool
than would have been received other
wise.

COST OF TUITION
MAURY SCHOOLS
AT ROCK BOTTOM
ONLY ABOUT So PER PUPIL PER
MONTH FOR THE EIGHT
MONTHS TERM.
WHAT THE SCHOOL BUDGET SHOWS
Between Eighty-Five and Ninety Per
Cent of All the Cost Goes for the
Payment of Salaries to Elementary
Teachers.

(From Wednesdays Daily HERALD
Even with the advance in the teach
ers salaries and the other improve
ments that have been made. in the
schools of the county in the past few
years, the tuition cost for the pupils
of the elementary schools of Maury
county is not much in excess of $15
per term. The total budget of the
rural elementary schools of the coun-
ty as fixed by the county board of ed
ucation and approved by the county
court is $107616 and there is in round
numbers 1000 pupils in the schools
so that the tuition cost for each pupil
per month is around two dollars.
OF the budget of $107 GIG between
eighty-five and ninety per cent is
paid out for salaries of teachers, that
item being $9O,5S6. The cost of super
vision including the salary of the
county superintendent, the supervisor
and expenses of the board is less than
$4,000 per annum as shown by the
budget.
Next to teachers salaries, the heav-
lest item of expense is for fuel, lights,
ETC., which is fived at $4,000. The
third item is $4,000 for maintenance
Of plants, reairs, requirements, etc.
Insurance on the buildings owned by
the county costs S1,5G0 per annum,
while transportation of pupils calls
for $1,000 This is where schools have
been consolidated and it is cheaper
and better to haul some of the pupils
than it is to carry on the separate
schools. The enumeration Of the
school census costs $500 and a similar
sum is paid for the salaries of JAM.
tors.
1t is believed that the schools OF
Maury county are operated as eff
| GENTLY and as. economically as any in
| the state. This was among the first
counties in Tennessee to have a uni
form eight months term in every
school.

INCREASED PAYMENT
OF DOG TAX seen
FEAR OF INDICTMENT BEFORE
GRAND JURY HAS STIMULAT-
ED PAYMENT DURING WEEK.

(From Mondays Daily Herald)
With the approach of the November
term of circuit court there has been
a substantial increase in the payment
of the dog tax. 1t is apparent that
the owners of dogs in the county have
delayed the payment of this tax just
as long as possible, but are fearful of
the action of the grand jury. Owners
of CANNES have been repeatedly warn
ed that the dog law is to be strictly
enforced, and if the tax is not paid
drastic methods would be employed
in its collection. 1t appears that this
method will take the form of indict-
ment, and those who have evadedS or
postponed payment may feel the
heavy hand Of the law after the grand
jury is convened.

TO CHANGE BED
OF CREEK AND
SAVE BRIDGES
NOVEL PLAN MAY BE ADOPTED
ON ROAD FROM HAMPSHIRE
TO MT. PLEASANT.
QUESTION BEING INVESTIGATED
Believed That Money Can Be Saved
Now and That Elimination Of the
Bridges Would Be Permanent Saw
ings to the County.

From Saturdays Daily Herald)
To change the bed or course of a
creek rather than erect two bridges
to cross it. This is the proposition
that is engaging the attention of the
road department of Maury county and
one that will be investigated thor
oughly before any bridges are con
structed.
1t will be recalled that several
months ago the county court in quar-
terly session, ordered the construc-
ton of two bridges over Baptist
Branch in the tenth district and on the
highway running from Mt. Pleasant
to Hampshire. The road superintend-
ent and county judge advertised for
bids for the bridges and received
them. However, in the meantime,
parties in that section declared that
the course of the creek could be so
changed as to eliminate both bridges
and offered to do the necessary work
for the cost of the bridges.
Judge Whitthorne and Superintend-
ent Wilkes then proceeded to hold up
the contract and investigate, for OBJ
viously if this could be done it would
be better for the road and in the end,
by eliminating two bridges, save the
county money. The bridges are rath
err close together, the creek making a
bend that throws it across the road
and then back again. The question Of
changing the creek or building the
bridges was submitted to the quarter
ly court last Monday by Judge Whit
thorne and Superintendent Wilkes
and court directed that the contracts
for the bridges be held up pending
a further investigation as to the cost
and feasibility of the change in the
creek and the entire elimination of
the need for either of the two bridges.
1t is believed that money can be say
ed the county by changing the course
of the creek and the road improved
at the same time.
