Not only was there a full attend ance, of tho members of the court this morning but the crowd of interested spectaators was so large that it was necessary to hold the sessions in the circuit court room. There were large delegations present from McDowell, Culleoka, Mt.. Pleasant and other points in the county to cheer the reso lution for school improvement. The school bonds will be used at the following schools as set out in the rec ommendations made, by the committee consisting of Supt.

' In the midst of the debate Squire Orr evoked, round after round of ap plause when he urged court to square ly face the issue and take care oi tho educational; neods of the county, it was a brief but polntod argument and after, the demonstration that follow ed there was no doubt as to the result. COUNTY AGEUTS ARE VERY RUSY 111 WORK CLUBS SEVENTY-SEVEN MEMBERS ARE VISITED AT THEIR HOMES DURING THE WEEK. HIGHWAY STORM FAILED TO BREAK BEFORE JUSTICES SOMETHING LULLED THE TEM PEST THAT RAGED ERE MEM BERS HAD CONVENED.'1 1 THREATS OF AN INJUNCTION Believed, However, That the. Size, of the Bond Necessary to Obtain a Fiat Has Deterred Resort to This Meth od of Stopplnf Road. Will an effort be made to enjoin the execution of the highway contract made last week by the commission at Nashville by citizens and taxpayers of Maury county? That'was the question that was discussed almost to-the ex elusion of all others by the unusually large crowd that was here Monday. There is no question about a number of citizens having seriously, conteni plated this action and they are- still working on plans to circumvent' the construction of the road at the price of $35,000 a mile, but the concensus of opinion seemed to be that the burden of making the necessary bond in or tier to obtain a ffat or injunction was too onerous and that the contemplated Buit has been abandoned,; ; , ,, Contrary to what everyone expected the road contract was not mentioned in the court Monday. Before the court met several of the members had posi tively declared their intention to pro' sent a resolution directing the county judge and the trustee tinder no cir cumstances to pay out or deliver "any of the funds arising from the sale of bonds. Others had declared an Jnten tionto vote for a resolution declaring that never again weujoythc county court make provision for(the construe tion of state and federal ajd roads Others were ready, with speeches to bitterly denounced the state highway commission for alleged deception' in the awarding of the contract. The at mospheie-around the court house and fle, jyaepnfabs of, ,t.he,, members of the court was literally charged with suppressed . excitement. Every .'one Was expecting an explosion. In some way and for some reason not explained a change came over, the members who had been threatening dire things to, tire road program for the count adjourned with qnjylpne reference to the "boulevard." Squire Carr, of the ninth district, was just "biling" to get the contract before the court, but his simple questlpn of "How about the bouelvard?" pending a1 mo tion to adjourn was not sufficient to give any parliamentary status to the issue. The members of the court breathed a real fervent sigh of relief when Judge Whitthorne declared tho motion to adjourn -carried, Squire Can's voice being alone in opposition That was rather remarkable too that a member from the Columbia 'district should be most rantankerous in oppo sition to the construction of the high way. CHUjESE.STUDENT HEARD AT CULLEOKA Mre. Yul, a Chinese student at Pea body College, Nashville, delighted and entertained a largo audience rt the Methodist church at Culleoka on Sun day, afternoon. Miss Yui came under the auspices of the Woman's Mission ary society of the church and she dis cussed most intelligently the condi tions in the Far East and made a strong appeal for support of the mis sionary, efforts of the church.

The boy elected a chair man and secretary and made plans for the year, including community ex hibits and exhibits in the. county agri cultural fair. Dinner was furnished hj!,' the Citizens Bank & Trust Co. of Murfreesboro, after which they were given a free ticket to the picture show by the manager of the theatre. The boys agreed that it was a big day and that they would have an attendance of members at the next club meeting." A. B. Harmon, Montgomery county, held two successful meetings. "The agricultural club of Sango met last Thursday and had 100 per cent at tendance," says Mr. Harmon, and his report continues, "all tho boys agreed to do their part and voted they would be present at each meeting and have the'", boat , record possible this year.

Twelve head were bought and will be distributed to the boys by the 1st of May. These calves came from the herd of Senator To3d and are excellent individuals. I think we will make a credible showing this year."
