Mr. Willbanks has performed
the duties of the office fearlessly

and now asks the support of the
voters for re-election in October,

ful and tearless officer.

Small Fire Sunday Night.
About 8 o’clock Sunday night
the residence of W. A. Henry
caught lire, and had it not been
discovered just when it was it
would have proved disastrous.
The fire was discovered in a
closet near the center of the
house before it gained headway
and was soon extinguished.
The only theory as to the ori¬
gin of the fire is that a rat struck
a match and ignited some rags
which were in a basket, as no
one had been in that part of the
building.

Place that J. L. Fincher dropped
dead on the front porch of his
residence in Dalton Friday morn¬
ing, He had many friends in
Murray who will regret to learn
of his death.
The man who changed bridles
with me, court week, will do me
a favor by returning mine and
getting his. I suppose it to have
been a mistake, but whoever got
it knows the difference now and
where his own is. Truly yours,

SOUTHERN BRINGS

brought back to home banks.
The deposits amounted to $600,
000 a month.
It is understood that the de¬
posits will be kept in Georgia
banks under a plan worked out
by Chairman McLendon, of the
state railroad commission and the
Southern railway. It is under¬

officials ot the Southern railway

PLANS OUTLINED
FOR TOUR OF BRYAN
Important Conference Of Leaders
Is Held In Chicago For Dis¬
cussion of Speaking
Campaign.
Chicago, Sept. 8.—Preliminary
to the invasion of the east by
William Jennings Bryan, mem¬
bers of the Democratic national
committee had a council of war
and for several hours studied
over the plans that have been
devised to bring the Democratic
cause to victory. While the
national committeemen were in
session there were conferences of
the advisory and finance com¬
mittees and late today all three
committees joined in a general
conference in which Mr. Bryan
took a leading part in delibera¬
tions.
While no definite announce¬
ment has been made, it is gen¬
erally believed by national com¬
mitteemen that the effort to
have Mr. Bryan take the stump
during the entire month of Oc¬
tober will prove successful.
With the announcement that
Mr. Taft will make a speaking
trip through the middle west and
the east, the Democratic leaders
bilieve that the fight should be
forced all along the line until
election day and to that end Mr.
Bryan should continue his speak¬
ing trips until the campaign
ends. National committeemen
from the far west are trying to
prevail upon Chairman Mack to
send the candidate to the Pacific
coast states, but whether Mr.
Bryan will make the long west¬
ward swing will depend in a
great measure oil plans made for
Mr. Taft’s stumping tour.
Chairman Mack and other
members of the committee are
not a little concerned over the
question whether Mr. Bryan’s
strength would enable him to
to duplicate the arduous cam¬
paign of 1896, though Mr. Bryan
has said that he is willing to do
whatever the committee feels is
to make an effective
fight.
National Chairman Mack"said
that the conference today- would
be confined principally to an in¬
terchange of ideas of the various
committeemen of the plans drawn
for the campaign and that Mr.
Bryan would offer his advice and
counsel before their adoption.
The responses to the call for
money, has, according to Colonel
Wetmore, head of the finance
bureau, been very gratifying.
Painted of Trenton
Proctor, Vermont, Sept. 8.—
Guido Horvath, a Hungarian ar¬
tist, has completed here, after
years of careful work, study and
research, a mammoth painting of
“Washington at the Battle of
Trenton.” It is claimed to be
the largest single picture on any
subject ever produced in this
country. It is 210 feet long anc
eleven feet high.

GREAT MUSICAL EVENT
A Chorus of One Hundred Voices to Give
A Grand Concert Organized And
Trained Under The Efficient
Leadership of Prof. Hart.
What promises to be the great¬
est musical event ever offered to
the people of Murray county is
now being organized by Frof.
Hart, who has been holding a
number of musical institutes in
this vicinity.
The id^a in the organization of
the chorus is to select^he best
talent from nearby localities and
form it into one compact musical
organization.
Singers will be selected from
Spring Place, Chatsworth, Eton,
Oakland, Fuller’#, Sumach and
elsewhere.
The place for rehearsals will be
in tiie large auditorium of the
Lucy Hill Institute at Spring
Place, where there is a large
stage. The hall is well ventila¬
ted and will be an ideal place for
a large chorus.
The first rehearsal will taKe
place at the hall on Saturday af¬
ternoon Sept. 19th, and last from
1:30 to 1 o’clock.
Good results should come from
this chorus. All will admit the
need of better music. By ma¬
king use of a better grade of mu¬
sic, such as anthems, choruses,
glees, etc., as we understand
from Prof. Hart, will be done,
those who form a part of the or¬
ganization will,take back to their
home church, Sunday school or
class, musical ideas which will
elevate the standard and form A
taste for better music.
We learn that should the re¬
sults hoped for be attained per¬
haps more than one concert will
be given.
The Murray News wishes to
give its support and encourage¬
ment to all efforts along educa¬
tional lines and good music is a
Dart of our education system.
