NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The Cuban rev.

a month and half of existence, ended
its career yesterday Colonel Charles
M Aguirre, head Of the junta, was busy
yesterday packing up, preparatory to
sail next Saturday for Havana. He
had intended going last week, but was

The exodus Of Cubans from this city

Columbia Organized with u
Members.

Mr.. T. S. Michigan, of Louisville,
KY, Dist. Manager of the Woodmen
of the World, who has been in our town
for the past week, working in the int
crest of the Order, has met with great
success. He instituted a camp here,
Friday night, the 10Th inst, of 81 mem
bers, composed of some of our best cit
liens and he says that before he gets
through, he will have camp of SO good
substantial men. Mr.. Michigan says
the charter is still open, and those
wishing to take advantage of it should
do so at once.
This camp is to be known as Michigan
Camp, that being the name selected at
their meeting. Mr.. Nelligan is highly
elated with the honor conferred on him
and it is but natural that he will give a
great deal of his time to the camp that
bears his name.
The following officers of the Camp
were elected:
John w. Flowers, Consul Commander.
Geo. T. Flowers, Advisor Lieutenant.
S. L. Powell, Banker.

it great future. The Camp meets to-

COLUMBIA ADAIR KENTUCKY o.
GOOD FEELING PREVAILS.
The People are Ready and Want the
Fiscal Court to Act.

We have talked to quite number OF
Adair county's best citizens and tax
payers within the last three weeks con-
corning the improvements that should
be made in the county in the way of
bridges and roads, and so far we have
found every man on the progressive
side of every proposition. The good
that the people have and are deriving
from the bridges already built, and the
small portions of good roads made with
in the last year or two, together with
the tremendous amount of mud holes
where solid roads were not made, is
calling attention to the Importance of
more bridges and better roads. The
tax payers are willing to put kup for
such improvements, but are not will
ing to pay heavy tax unless. solid.
substantial improvements are realized.
The Fiscal court should weigh well
both of these questions and set the
standard of attainment high. A full
levy for road and bridge purposes will
create fund, if properly applied, for q
years, that will build all the bridges
needed and make many miles of pike
where the people will cooperate with
the county in this important work. If
we are to have better roads we must
apply stone, and the crushing of the
stone is the most serious proposition
with the people. If the Fiscal court
will purchase rock crusher and oper-
ate it where the people are willing to
spread the stone, then new life and en-
ergy will assert their hatred for mud
holes, and new era will be brought
about, but if the people are not aided
in this manner, then we cannot see the
use of spending much money fooling
with the roads.
The whole story is briefly summed
up as follows; three or four more bridg-
es are badly needed; every part of the
county has bad roads; the people are
thoroughly awake to the Importance of
both the bridges and roads and are will
ing to be taxed to get them.
The Magistrates and County Judge
have been elected to protect and adj
vance the interest of the county, and if
it is their opinion that these improve
ments will do it, then it becomes their
duty to span the streams and blot out
the mud holes.
The time to begin is this year and an
uninterrupted pull of four years will
show the worth of this move.
