KANSAS LEFT OUT.
Failed for Once to Capture All the Of

Col. John Redmond, division com
Kansas, spent Sunday in Topeka the
guest of Lester Watrous, on his return
from the national encampment at
Omaha.
Mr.. Redmond is very much disap-
pointed over the results of the election
which simply blotted Kansas from the
map as far as the good offices were
concerned.
For the past six or eight years this
state has practically selected the Off
GERS of the order or dominated their
election. But this year the east com
bined against Kansas and by shrewd
manipulation changed the order of
things.
Mr. Redmond went on to Wichita this

The Prorerhial GrOund.H

Last Wednesday. Feb. 2, was
"ground-hog day." and at noon, it is
said, his hogship came out Of his
hole to inspect the condition of the
weather. Some say he saw his
shadow, and some say he didn't;
there were few scattering clouds,
but the sun was shining brightly In
some places. If he did see it, so the
old saving goes, he returned to his
hole to STAY six weeks longer, and
we are to have wintry weather Tor
that length of time; if the weather
was cloudy, however, and he aid
not see his shadow, he will remain
out and the backbone of winter
will be broken. Take it as you
please, but it is advisable not to lay
aside winter clothes yet.

Columbia Can Have One at a Very
Small Cost.
To EDITOR HERALD:-As is
known to many of your readers the
committee of the General Assembly
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church has decided that the Or
nhans' Home and Industrial School
of that church shall be located in
Columbia; with the single proviso
that Columbia and Richland Pres
bvteyy subscribes in money and
land $4,000.
This Home and Industrial School
will be the only institution of Its
kind in the whole denomination;
and while it will be under the nOmi-
nal control OF the General Assem-
blv of the Cumberland church, so
far as Columbia and Maury County
is concerned it proposes to accept
all worthy applicants, regardless OF
church relations or affiliations; that
is, while having the General Assem-
bly, to manage its affairs ana tne
whole church to contribute TO ltS
support, it will offer the widow ana
orphan and homeless children OF
our community place they can
call "Home," and where they Will
receive a moral and christian train
, ing.
The committee on behalf of the
! General Assembly is composed OF
! some of the best legal, business ana
mini sterial talent In the church |;
. men who are devoting their time
: and talents freely to this work; and
they assure us that wherever they
send their financial agent be Is
: meeting with marked success; that
: although only small portions OF
: Tennessee and Alabama have been
: canvassed, they already have In
. sight SIC, 900 to begin the work, ana
. that they have every reason to be-
lieve that in a short while after the
J, work is begun on the Home they
= will have for endowment ana I'M
> provement purposes, 100000.
, Now the question comes, can we
! afford to let this opportunity pass
!. Every nickle of subscription rails
,. ed in Columbia will be spent rlgh
~ here, and we have guarantee tina
!. $4,000 additional will be placed
v here by the committee, as soon a
i our $4,000 is raised; this in itself
as business proposition, shoulC
e. appeal to every citizen of our com
at munity.
