The sale Of real estate in Columbia
and vicinity still continues with
steady advance in price, which shows
that the people from other sections, as
well as our own, are realizing the real
worth OF location in a progressive
town. Last week Prof. Ballard, of
Russell county, bought property here
and will soon be citizen of the town.
DR.. Miller and family will leave the
country in short while and make
their home in Columbia occupying the
residence bought by Mrs. Miller last
Saturday. They come for the purpose
of educating their children.
Several good citizens of other Sec
tions informed us while at the fair last
week of their desire to secure a good
farm in this county. Some manifested
a desire to come to Columbia. Good
schools, progress in methods on the
farms and the general moral standing
of the people generally are becoming
known and being appreciated. Real
estate is yet far below it's real value in
this town and county when everything
is considered. Mark this down and see
if it proves correct.
Mr.. S. c. Pemberton, of Horse Cave.
the well-known stock dealer, took an
occasion while at the Fair to say COM
plimentary words about the Adair coun-
ty News, a paper that he has been a
subscriber fora number of years, and
who called to renew. Said he: ''It is
the best paper take and l am a sub
scriber for many" At this juncture
one of his friends who resides in Cum
berland county, came up. ''Do you
take the News?" said Mr.. Pemberton.
''NO. would like to have it, but am
taking so many papers. ''Put him
down for year. said Mr.. Pemberton
and if he don't pay for it / will" A
statement like the above, coming from
a gentleman of Mr.. Pemberton's stand
ing, is highly appreciated by this publi-
cation.

POISONED BY A PIN;
HIS DEATH FOLLOWS
Peculiar Circumstances of The Pass
ing of Jacob Billet in Hen
ry County.

Jacob Billet, who died at his home
eight miles north of Kewanee. came
to his death by most peculiar cause.
Some time ago Mr. Billet unconscious
ly swallowed a small brass pin. The
little homestead necessity gave him
no trouble until early this week, when
he commenced to complain of severe
pains in his bowels.
Physicians were summoned and at
first were baffled. being unable To ac-
count for the patients suffering. Mr..
Billet continued in great agony. be
ing unable to take any nOurishment
without experiencing eXcruciating
pain.
1t was finally agreed to perform an
operation hoping by SO doing to ascer-
tain and remove the cause of the suf-
fering. The surgeons knife was used
and the little brass pin was taken out
1t was found that the pin had poisoned
the mans bowels and in spite of the
fact that the direct cause of the ma
tents suffering had been removed Mr..
Billet sank rapidly.
