OLD time COL UMnIAN
MINGLES WITH FRIENDS
CHARLES CECIL WAS ENGAGED
IN BANKING BUSINESS HERE
OVER FORTY YEARS AGO.

Charles Cecil, Of DlnVille Ky, who
was hore to attend the funeral Of Mrs.
W. g. Whitthcrne, has retained to his
home after spending two or three
days minglin9 with Old friends here
Mr.. Cecil formerly lived in Columbia
being cashier of Major lngram's bank
back in the seventies. He left here in
1878 for Danyille, where hel has S.nce
resided. He married an older sister
of Judge Whitthome and daughter Of
the late Gen W. c. Whitthorne, foi
so many years representative in con
gress. During his stay in Coumb a
as banker Mr.. Cecil was exceeding
~ popular and his old friends gave
him a most cordial greeting. In Ken
lucky he has engaged in banking and
farming. Every Tennessean who has
attended Centre College has warm
spot in his heart for Mr.. Cecil and
Mrs, Cecil for they have found their
charming home a home for them also.
During the forty-three years since Mr.
Cecil moved away from here time has
been kind to him and he looks many
years younger than his long business
experience would make him.

There are a few herds of Guern-

ly have justified the expectations OF
their owners.
But from Commissioner Magruder's
experience and observations it is
clear that the Jersey is pre-eminently
the dairy COW for Tennessee. The
climate Of the state its water. the
grass and lime in the soil all bear q
resemblance to the native home OF
the Jersey and experience has demon
strated that the finest Jerseys in the
world can be developed in Maury
county.
Mr. Magruder was especially pleas
ed with the development during his
term of Office of the dairy industry in
Maury county. When he came into
Office less than four years ago the
county had practically no commercial
dairy interests. Now it ranks among
tho best of the state and the industry
is growing all the time.

During the coming year more atten-

girls club work in Maury county than
ever before. 1t is expected that the
membership in these clubs will be
double or treble that of the year lust
ending.
At a splendidly attended and most
enthusiastic meeting OF the Santa Fe

to continue the boys and girls club
work during 1922 and to increase the
membership of the clubs, and this
campaign for. new members will be

community organization, when the
success of the drive will be reported
The boys corn clubs of the county
during the present year have done
splendid work, as was shown by the
recent report Of the county agent. The
boys produced corn yields nearly doub-
le that of the average farmer, and will
enter the contests again next year to
profit by their experience of this year
Shortly after the first of the year
County Agent Alternately will begin
the organization OF new corn clubs in
every section of the county, and will
try to put new life and enthusiasm into
the clubs now in existence.
In addition to the organization of
corn clubs, it is the idea of the county
agent to get the boys and girls inter
ested in pure bred live stock and live
stock clubs will be organized.
Club work will be extended to every
section of the county next year, and

for their disposition. The largest re.
quest for an appropriation for this
purpose is for Il bridge over Baptist

An appropriation Of $1,000 will be

If the weather is not too bad the
bridge building program in the coun.
ty of superintendent Burke Wilkes
will completed by the first of the
year. He expects between now and
the first to finish the bridges at Culelo-
ka, at Cross Bridges and at Isom.
This will complete the bridges that
have been authorized Ly the county
court, except those over the Hamp-
shire and Mt. Pleasant road across
Baptist Branch and the building was
held up pending a decision on wheth-
er or not it would be better to change
the bed of the creek rather than build
the bridges
During the past year. the county
road superintendent has constructed
some seven bridges in the county and
they have all been Of concrete besides
Il number of concrete culyerts that
have been constructed. Many Of the
wooden bridges OF the county have
been repaired and painted In fact
Maury county has carried on during
the year the most ambitious bridge
building and repairing program that
it has known in recent years.
Another fact worthy of note is that
Superintendent Wilkes and County
Judge Whitthorne have let every con
tract for the year at less than the
amount appropriated by the county
court eftecting Il savings Of several
thousand dollars. The work has all
been eXpeditiouSly done, and there
have been no complications except
ut the bridge over Bear creek near
Mt. Olivet church. The bridge has
been completed but it is sort of sus,
pended in mid-air or rather will re

it, There has been DISAGREEMENT
among the citizens with the su-
peritendent over the location of the
bridge and in consequence the agree

1t is expected that several bridges

that God sent His Gift into the world
when it was night? This statement
of facts is not only true regarding the
darkness upon the face of the earth,
but it would have been true had it
said, There was night in the lives of
humanity. And this night brought
fear and mistrust, greed and selfish
ness, hate and murder in the hearts
Of men, which was wrecking society
and bringing swift and sure distruc-
ton upon the world. The coming Of
the Christ as Gods Gift to the world
has been The saving and transforming
personality in human life these nine
teen centuries. II He had not come,
ere this, humanity would by its own
weight of immortality, sin, and crime
sank into oblivian. His coming has
served to keep alive the principles Of
fectitude and right which has saved
the world thus far from its death.
But listen. Unless the world takes
more seriously the Christ, His minis.
try, and the principles He espoused,
and seeks to put in practice those
principles, and to ememplify His spirit
in solving all its problems socially
and commercially; not only between
individuals, but between classes and
nations, as well, this world cannot ex-

national and international can be solv-

Again another asks, "What about
this Gift? What does it express ?"
First-It expresses the love of God.
"For God so loved the world, that He
gave his only begotten Son, that who
soever believeth in Him shall not
perish, but have everlasting life" st.
John 3:16.
And Second]y-lts an expression Of
hope. Listen to st. Paul in 1st Tim
othy IL, can Apostle of Jesus Christ
by the commandment of God and the
Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hone"
and again in Col. 1:27, we read
"Christ which is in you the hope Of
glory"
Thirdly-its an expression of saliva
ton. Our text puts it like this: "a
SAVIOR which is Christ, the Lord"
Without this gift, there is no saliva
ton. This Gift accepted and received
through repentance and faith will
ave each individual and the whole
world. Should we not then celebrate
this glad Christmas day by opening
our hearts and lives wide and invite
the gift of Gods love and the Gift Of
Hope and the Gift of Salvation to
come in and abide with us. Then in
deed shall we be able to share in the
glory song of the heavenly host prais-
ing God and saying, "Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace, good

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
