With the dispersal sale of the Ew

ber i!S the famous Ewell Farm will
cease its career of fifty-one years as
a great breeding farm for pure bred
live stork. This has been one of the
most famon:i breeding farms in. Ten
nessee, for it was here that the first
Importation of pure bred Jerseys
came to thtrs section. It has boon not
ed for its fine live stock of all kinds
and especially Jerseys and race
horses. .
Percy Brown, the owner, sold the
farm -this year to It. 11. Walker, of
Athens, Ala., who in turn subdivided
and sold it to several purchasers who
get possession on January 1. Mr.
Biovvn wilt therefore finally dispose
of his Jerseys and in addition his pure
bred Dorset sheep, hogs, his horses,
mules and Welsh and Shetland po
nies. There are thirty-six head of Jer
seys catalogued for sale, all of them
registered and all U. S. accredited as
respects health. With the develop
ment of the dairy industry in Maury

be spirited competition to get posses
sion of these Jerseys. The other
stock to be sold will add to the inter
est of the sale.

Says Last Session of Tennessee Con
ference Was One of Best In Its His
tory Business Was Handled With
Dispatch.
The Rev. J. W. Cherry, who leaves
Friday for Gallatin, where he goes to
begin his pastorate for the Methodist
church has addressed the folowlng
communication to The Herald:
To the Editor of The Herald.
The last session of the Tennessee
conference was one of the best in Its
history. There was the best of feel
ing, business was dispatched rapidly,
and tjje attendance Upon the confer
ence on Sunday was sajd ' lo have
broken all records. The churches
were full of people and it was a good
day for Shelbyville.
I have been sent to Gallatin, which
is a good and most pleasant church,
viewed from any standpoint. I have
been congratulated upon my good for
tune. It offers me a great field for
service and I am grateful to God and
to the church for the opportunity pre
sented. My successor, Dr. W. B. Taylor,
has long been one of the leading men
of the Tennessee conference, and has
filled high and important places, in
cluding McKendree, the Nashville dis
trict and the Columbia district.
Through the years'! have.received
many courtesies . and- kindnesses
from him, which I can never forget
in this or any other world. I shall
pray most earnestly that his minis
try in Columbia may" be abundanlty
useful and successful.
This is a great hour and one In
which the church is undertaking great
things; let all the Christian people
of Columbia pray that there may be
a great turning, unto God here and
that the Kingdom of Christ may be
wonderfully advanced.
r I leave Columbia, with love for ev
ery human being in it. I shall never
cease to pray for this community as
long as I live upon the earth. For the
expressions of kindness and appreci
ation fioni the people of my own
church, and from others, I am grate
ful. I desire to express my appreciation
of the fact that The Herald has pub
lished my church notices and by pub
lishing ray sermonettes has given me
an opportunity to preach with my pen.
May God bless Columbia and all the
people here and may the wickedness
of the wicked come to an end and
righeousness prevail.
I wish for The Herald and all con
nected with it the very best of suc
cess. . J. W. CHERRY.

BOYS SACRIFICE
FOR THE HOSPITAL
GIVE U TOYS. IN ORDER TO
BRIGHTEN THE CHILDREN'S
WARD OF INSTITUTION. , '
Three small, boys, aged, -seven to
nine years, recently found a substan
tial sum of money on the street. They
advertised but were unable to locate
the owner. Visions of all sorts of
toya that they could buy with the
money floated before their eyes when
it was suggested to them that it
would be a fine thing to buy books
for the children's ward of the King's
Daughters hospital. Without a ques
tion they accepted the suggestion and
heroically made the sacrifice and pre
sented the books. The King's Daugh
ters are very proud not only of the
gift but even more of the example of
self-sacrifice which these boys set
and which Is worthy of emulation.
With a greatly strengthened team,
since the overwhelming defeat at
the hands of the Hume-Fogg High
School, the Central H.ph School foot
ball aggregation ' will leave in th
morning for Nashville "where a game
with the heavy Central High of David
son county will be played.
Since last Friday's game Captain
Hardison has been putting his team
through a gruelling jiracticc, and ap
paren'tly the local squad is In better
condition than at any time since the
beginning of the season, and a hard
fought game in the territory of the
enemy 13 expected.
It was expected at noon today that
the Synod of Tennessee, which haa
been in session since Tuesday even

On Wednesday, afternoon a long .
