WOODROW CORN CLUB
TO Be ORGANIZED
WILL BE LAUNCHED BEFORE END
OF PRESENT WEEK-GOOD
MEMBERSHIP.

Before the end Of the present week
the organization of the boys corn
club of Woodrow will have been COM
pleted, according to County Agent Nc
Lean. 1t is believed that this will be
one of the livest boys clubs in the
county, and that the membership will
be large. esq
Much interest was manifested in the
boys and girls club work at the meet
ing of the Enterprise community club
held last Friday night, and it was In
dicated that the parents would coop
crate heartily with the county agent
and the school authorities, assisting
this year in the club work.
County Agent Mclean stated that
the cooperation OF the parents OF
boys in the club work is one of the
most important factors in success
Without this cooperation the work is
almost sure to be failure, and it Is
urged that all parents OF boys beeom
ing members OF the clubs get in touch
with the county agent.

CAPT. HI. WHITE
PRESENTED JEWEL
BY odd FELLOWS
FOR MORE THAN HALF CENTURY
HE HAS BEEN A FAITHFUL
MEMBER OF THIS ORDER.
IMPRESSIVE CEREM 0 n Y
Speech of Presentation Made by Sec
retary G. E. Notgrass--White Fam
lily Plays important Part In Estab-
ishment of Order In State.

For more than half century Cap
tain II. l.. White has been an Odd Eel
low in good standing Fifty-two years
ago on the evening of February S, he
was initiated into the mysteries of
the order by Columbia Lodge No. 8,
and last night this same lodge paus-
ed to pay him tribute,
With a most appropriate program,
the lodge presented Captain White
with a jeweled veterans medal. The
speech of presentation was made by
Secretary E. E. Notgrass of the local
lodge. Among the other speakers
was Judge w. C. Salmon, and all of
them paid eloquent tribute to the
years of faithful service CAPTAIN
White has given to this great brother
hood.
Captain White at present is resi-
dent of Franklin, where he is connect
ed with the l.. g N. railroad, but he
formerly resided in Columbia and is
widely known throughout this and ad-
Joining counties. He was at one time
supervisor of construction on the Flor
ence and Sheffield road, with head
quarters, in Columbia. Later he was
with the firm of Anderson Bros. e.
Foster, and still later he operated the
Dixie Theatre, leaving here several
years ago for Franklin, where he has
since made his home
He is now, despite his age, one Of
the most enthusiastic Odd Fellows
in the state, and his family has played
a prominent part in the establishment
of the order in Tennessee. Captain
Whites father was one of the seven
men who succeeded in establishing
the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in
Tennessee. After Nashville Lodge
Number one had been char
tered Captain Whites Faith
or, together with six friends started
the movement which resulted in the
granting of charters to the Columbia
and Franklin Lodges of Odd Fellows.
Columbia Lodge and Franklin Lodge
applied to the Grand Lodge at Balti
more for charters at the same time,
but the application Of the Franklin
Lodge was received short time be.
fore the Columbia application, and
the Franklin Lodge was designated
Number 2, while Columbia Lodge was
given Number 3.
Captain White spent the night in
the city, and this morning was proud
ly exhibiting the beautifully jeweled
emblem of the order presented him
last night, and shaking hands with
his scores of Columbia friends before
returning to his home at Franklin.

FAMOUS MEMPHIS
CHARTER CASE is
SHELTON'S GUIDE
OPINION IS QUOTED BY COUNTY
ATTORNEY IN DECIDING THE
ROAD LAW CONTROVERSY.
CAN'T KNOCK WILKES OUT
For the Same Reason the District
Commissioners Heretofore Elected
Should Continue to Serve Until
Successors Are Chosen.

The following is the full text of the
opinion rendered by County Attorney
Hugh T. Shelton constituting the pro-
visions OF the new road law for
Maury county:
February s, 1921.
Messrs. John Fl. Murphy, J. A, (Doc)
Grove, and c. E. Height.
Gentlemen:
Replying to your request for an
opinion on the following question::
First, whether or not under the law,
known as the Looney Law, you have
any power longer to act as Commits
sioners. Second whether or not you
can legally pay the bills legally in
Cured for roads and bridge repairs
work prior to the passage of the
Looney Law. Third, whether or not
the Superintendent of Work House
can continue in charge of said Work
House. Fourth, who will have charge
of the roads of the County until the
Road Superintendent is elected by the
Quarterly Court in April
Answering your question No. /, you
are advised that inasmuch as the
Looney law abolishes the office of
County Road Commissioners and you
were elected County Road Commits
sioner under prior to said law and the
office you now hold is abolished and
new office with different duties
created, I am of the opinion that you
cannot longer serve the County as
Road Commissioners because there Is
not such an office in the County, and
| therefore advise you not to attempt
to serve as Commissioners longer.
Answering your question No. 2

FRUIT GROWERS
OF COUNTY WILL
meet SATURDAY
TO DISCUSS PRUNING AND
SPRAYING OF TREES AND BUY
THEIR SPRAYS.
PRUNING SEASON is AT HAND
orchardist Murphy Does Not Expect
Big Yield of Apples This Year
Even II the Weather Shrould Be Fa-
vorable--Peaches In Danger

Fruit and vegetable growers OF the
county are called to meet at the Of
fees of the county council OF agri-
culture on next Saturday at o'clock
for the purpose of discussing spray
ing, care of archards, etc. The call
for the meeting was issued by lsaih
C. Murphy, one of the leading orch
ardists Of the state and who has been
asked by many of the growers of the
county to advise them with regard TO
spraying and pruning fruit trees. There
are some vegetable growers who will
also want to order sprays.
The pruning season is here now
and pruning should be done before
the end of next month, especially with
young trees. Owing to the very warm
weather of the winter the first spray
ing should also be done earlier than
Is ordinarily the case. 1t is probable
that the first spraying should be done
this year before March 15. The tree
will be further advanced than usual.
Mr. Murphy stated this morning
that he did not fear any damage at
this time from freeze SO far as ap-
pies are concerned, that the trees
could stand zero weather, but that
such temperature would be abso-
lutely fatal to the peach crop, in fact
he doubted If the peaches could stand
temperature of ten degrees above
zero as they were SO far advanced
as a result of the very unreasonable
weather.
Regardless of the weather Mr.. Muir
ply does not expect a very heavy
yield of apples this year. He says
that this is due to the abnormal crop
Of last year.. He has examined the
evidences of buds In his own orchard
and the trees that made such phe-
nomenal yield last season indicate q
crop of about one-fourth that size.
At the meeting on Saturday plans
will be made for ordering the spray
materials for the fruits OF the county.

years. Articles, representing almost
every line carried in the city, have
been placed on the dollar bargain day

Culeoka school is responding to
the appeal for funds for the relief
of the starving peoples of Eastern

From reports received by County
Agent Mclean it is indicated .hht the
meeting of the community club OF
Culleoka, to be held at 2 O'Clock on
Saturday afternoon at the store
room Of the Culleoka Produce Com,
pany, will be one of the most largely
attended meetings of the year.
Farmers of that section are taking
great interest in the work Of the
club, and hope to have one OF the
livest organizations in the county dur.
ing 1921. Officers will be elected for
the ensuing year, and agricultural
plans will be gone over in detail, both
by Mr. Mclean and by speakers from
that community. 1t is not unlikely
that the meeting will be addressed by
President Joe Frank Porter, of the
county council of agriculture, and pos
sibly other directors of that organi.
cation.
Especial stress will be laid upon
the organization OF the boys and girls
clubs, and it is believed that the corn
club of Culleoka will get away to a
flying start. 1t is not unlikely that
some farmer of that section will make
an offer similar to the one made by
nr
Mr.. Murphy, of the Enterprise COM
munity, in which he agreed to fur
nish each member of the corn club

another prominent farmer of that com.
munity, has signi6ed his intention of
purchasing from the boy who secures
the highest yield on his acre, his en-
tire crop at $12.5O per barrel. These
liberal offers, and splendid co-opera-
tion upon the part of the farmers of
the community are proving great in
centive to the boys, and this can be
done, it is believed in the Culleoka
community.

INDICATIONS ARE THAT COUNTY
WILL CROSS TIE GOAL AT AN
EARLY DATE.

With the response that is being
made through the schools and church
es it is expected that before the end
of the month Maury county's full quo
ia of $4,000 for European relief will
be raised. Already II Is estimated
from the reports that have been made
that not less than half OF the sum
has been raised and several schools
and churches that are interested are
yet to be heard from. 1t Is necessary
that these funds should be procured
with as little delay as possible for the

Hoover 1t will take $33. 100000 to save
the children of Central Europe during
the coming year.
