Art Notes.

Hardly generation ago young
persons desire to study art was re-
garded with misgiving and uneasiness
py parents. Naturally and rightly,
most parents are practical. They de-
sire first of all that their children shall
select suce an occupation for life as
will give them an assured income and a
competence; and to make profession
Of art meant at that time to earn ones
living by painting pictures, with per-
haps some help from teaching.
A different view prevails to-day.
Throughout the East, at any rate, and
in some of the Western cities, there
are art schools, which are turning out
as many graduates each year as the
smaller colleges; and nearly all the
graduates find profitable positions.
The reason for the change is the
broader way in which art is regarded
at the present time: the closer relation
ship between art and industry. Many
a young man or young woman who
could never have made a living at
painting or sculpture is earning a good
salary as furniture or wallpaper or
pottery designer, or as a teacher Of art
in the public schools.
Although the United States has made
great advance in this direction, it still
has far to 60. A visitor to the South
Kensington Museum in London saw a
man patiently copying some carving.
He asked the craftsman what his OBJ
ject was. The man told him he was
employed by a niture-manufacturing
firm in Michigan, and had been sent
abroad to make these studies for repro
duction.
Sir Purdon Clarke, the new director
of the Metropolitan Museum of New
York, says he believes that it ought
not to be necessary for American arti-
sans to go abroad in order to study the
artistic side of their work.
The Adair County news., 1905-12-20

On January the LIST, Mr.. 10 Coffey
and sons, Messrs. w. A. and 10, will
retire from the Bank of Columbia.
Their connection with this institution
has been of long and uninterrupted
standing and in every move it has bears
their impress and labors. AS we un-
derstand it this move is made purely
from business standpoint an the part
of Mr.. Coffey and sons and that nothing
but the friendliest feelings exists be-
tween them and the Bank directors.
1t is their intention to establish
another Bank in Columbia at an early
day and to continue their relations with
the business people in this and adjo;n-
ing counties. The amount of deposits
and loans made by the two banks of
this town indicate that there is business
for third one and thus believing the
above named gentlemen have decided
that it would be to their interest and
not detrimental to the Institution with
winch they nave so long been connected,
to establish business of similar ma
ture.
Mr.. John w. Flowers has been elect
ed Cashier of the Bank of Columbia,
and will assume the responsibilities of
that position the first of January. Mr..
Flowers is young man of fine business
qualities and within short period he
will familiarize himself with the bust
mess and everything will move smooth
ly on. At this hour, we have not re-
ceived information as to who will assist
Mr.. Flowers in the clerical work of
that old, reliable institution.
The News predicts good for all par
ties and truly desire to see it accom-
plished in the maintaining of the old
and the establishing Of the new.

An ESSAY On Habit.

A story is told of an English school
master who offered prize to the boy
who should write the best composition
in five minutes on "How to Overcome
Habit"
At the expiration of five minutes the
compositions were read. The prize
went to lap of nine years. Following
is his essay:
'Well, sir, habit is hard to overcome.
If you take of the first letter, it does
not change abit. If you take off an
other, the whole of it remains. If you
take off another, it is not wholly used
up; all of which goes to show, that if
you want to get rid of habit, you mus
throw it off altogether. Selected.

Obituary.

Hattie H. Smith was born
April. Z, 1873, professed religion
at Midtown, in Feb, 1888, during
a meeting held by Revs. Payton
and Sandidge, was married to w.
e. Smith, Dec, %, 1897, and
died Aug. 3, 1905.
Her life was that of a true and
faithful Christian, a devoted
wife, a loving mother and a kind
friend. AS she neared the end of
her journey, she was asked if she
realized her condition, and she
said Yes and it is alright" She
called each one of the family and
babe them an affecaionate fare
we'll. In her last talk to her hus-
band she said "You never gave
me a heartache." She then call
ed for her little children, and as
the loving, motherly heart was
beating its last strokes, she gave
them a few words of admonition,
prayed Gods blessing on their
future, pressed a last kiss on
each cheek, and fell asleep in
Jesus.
Her funeral was preached by
the writer, at her home, and she
was laid to rest till God shall call
her forth on the great day.

residence of the brides parents, in
Midtown, Mr.: Frank Cobb and Miss
Hettie P. Tut were united in marriage,
the Rev. w. H. C. Sandidge officiating.

ly bearing recommend him as true
gentleman, worthy of the respect and
esteem which he enjoys from large

Herald problem Answered.

The Louisville Herald asked it's read
ers to solve the following problem
''How cold is it when it is twice as cold
as>two degrees above Zero" Fearing
that the Herald's readers could not give
the solution, we publish it in the News
in order to get the knotty question be-
fore the people and to aid the Herald in
it's effort to get knowledge. Just as
certain as it goes in the News, so GER
tain it will be read by competent people
and bring results, so here is the solu-
ton as figured out by Mr.. S. P. Stapp,
a young man who is a schoolteacher at
Rowena:
Sc degrees-temperate heat, when
degrees above zero shows decrease of
81 degrees, twice that amount would be
1O8 degrees below temperate, 1O8 de-
grees-56 degrees, equals So degrees
below zero.

But little preparatin has been made
for next years crops in this part OF the
State, although we doubt whether there
can be found an intelligent farmer in
this part of the State, who does not re-
cognize the value of early preparation
of the soil. Land prepared now will be
easier cultivated, will make more grain
and better quality. Break your oats
and corn ground just as early as posi-
BILE and the freezes of winter will be
worth great deal. If not already
convinced of the value of early break
ing, just try small piece of ground
and you will not regret it.

VexatiOuS Cow.

Some time ago Mr.. ]. N. Murrell
bought cow with young calf by her
side the purpose being to have plenty
of milk for the winter season. Every
thing went lovely for short time when
it was discovered that the supply was
often reduced and sometimes wholly
gone. Investigation proved that she
was using her own product, and then
some devices were attached to prevent
her from getting the milk. Everything
failed until last week little tallow and
a good dose of quinine was administer
ed which proved the key to the situa-
ton, and she now comes up with her
full portion of milk.

n Good ENTERPRISE. .

We are informed by the proprietor of
the Columbia Steam Laundry that their
business is building as rapidly, aud
even more so, as they expected. Their
machinery is kept busy six days in

part of the time at night. At present
hey give regular employment to eight
hands and occasionally it is necessary
to use extra help. The quality of work
turned out is good but their experience,
as it gIows, is beneficial in this respect.
The fact is that the operation of this
plant is worth much to the town and
merits the unstinted patronage of the
people.
