The Department of Agriculture, at
Washington gives out interesting state
ments, backed by figures, as to the
production of tobacco, in average and
value, and in so doing 1T shows Kentuc-
ky long way in the lead over any
other state in the union, and in fact, pro-
ducing about one third of the entire
crop of the whole country. 1t is as
follows. Kentucky has raised 275, 874
acres of tobacco this year, making
total production of 228, 975, APO pounds
an average Yield of $50 pounds per
acre. The average price per pound is
Z cents, making Kentucky,s total crop
for 1905 worth SIG, O28, 279. This is
just about one-third of the value of
the tobacco raised in the United States
the total being 633, O33, 769 pounds
grown; ZIG, 112acres$48, 674, 118. It's a good
showing for Kentucky soil, climate and
energy and if Kentucky was blotted
from the map of production those who
smoke, chew and drink would not be so
well supplid.
Mr., j. X. P. Conover is once more
enjoying the freedom of his good coun-
try home, in the Montpelier section.
Mr.. Conover's time as Jailer of Adair
county would have expired the first of
January but a few days previous lie
turned over the keys to his successor
and retired from the duties of that Of
fee. Mr.. Conover filled his position in
most acceptable manner and his many
friends in this town regret his leaving.
AS straight, conscientious man, the
News desires to state that he fillssthe
bill to letter and our county would be
different country if we had more men
who would measure up to his high
standing.

Greeting.

OTCCJ1tlY.
Brushing aside every miSfit
and failure of the past, passing
all errors and mistakes of the
year just closed, this issue comes
bidding farewell to 1905 and hail
ing with delight the good omens
of 1906. We tip our hat to the
So weeks of the New Year, be-
lieving that within the same is
more good for Columbia, Adair
county and Southern Kentucky
there has ever been pictured in
the advent of a like period of time
within the history of the past.
The pessimist may view with
alarm the rise in values and the
expansion Of business and draw
gloomy picture, but to our mind
these changes only point to a
more active future, with ever in
creasing strength of development
The future for Southern Ken
lucky is bright and cherry. For
many years time has rolled on
with but few changes in the ma
terial development of this sec
ton, but little to cheer the most
progressive, and nothing to in
te activity from other quarters;
nthe move from such condi-
5 gaining Roadway, all the
and the overthrow of crippl-
ID dwarfed opportunities is
entity near at hand. This is a
full of promise, a cline
ID with sunshine and show
opled by the most hospita-
liens within the realm of
artedness, and its real self
hetate, only awaits the in
= cooperation of man and
cal fol..lto bring out its beauty
and worth. The year just closed
ought to give inspiration to the
people of Columbia and strength
en- their ambition for the conflicts
Of 1906. No like period Of time
ever measured more good for Co.
lumbia, but the present foreshad-
ows more real, substantial i'm
provments, 1t is not enough to
content yourself with the senti-
ment expressed in my Old Ken
lucky Home" and "She was bred
in Old Kentucky" but the time
has come when our commercial
interests must be advanced, the
various resources of wealth eX-
banded and the prospects of a
brighter future widened. Every
man wants Columbia to grow. All
are anxious for better conditions
throughout this part of the State.
The whistle of locomotives COM

Drawn of our study young men

meet a cordial welcome from
every intelligent citizen, but the
great breech between desire and
united action is the trouble. We
all want the good, we all want
advancement, but we do not
want to unite in effort and ex-
pense to bring results. Cold-wa-
tering honest efforts and crook
ing fingers at progressive inn
provements have never aided in
lettering public conditions. The
folly of such a course is appar-
ent toall, yetits the indulgence has
been too common, not only in Co
lumbia but throughout this en-
tire section. Money making by
collective system does not help
any country, It is the spending
of money, the creatiopsof things,
