THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
Is Issued by Gov. Beckham in
Accordance With Usual
Custom.

frankfort, KY, Nov. 14.-Commor.
wealth of Kentucky, Executive De-
dartment:
"That the people of Kentucky may
properly observe our country's most
hallowed custom, I hereby appoint, in
accordance with the action of the Pres
ident of the United States, Thursday,
November 20, as day of Thanksgiving
and prayer throughout the Common
wealth.
ION that day all business should be
suspended; the eager pursuit for wealth
should cease; the restless struggle for
profit and gain should give place to
quiet and peace. while grateful peo-
pie in their usual places of worship
shall give thanks to generous and
merciful God, who has so richly blessed
us. Our people have prospered beyond
all precedent, our nation in little over
a century has sprung into position of
power and might beyond the boldest
dreams of its founders, and today COM
mands the admiration and respect of the
entire world. In material wealth we
are without an equal. Nature has law
ished upon US her choicest bounties.
The sunshine of peace and contentment
sheds it's genial light upon a happy
land. To deserve and retain these
things, due recognition should be CIV
en- to the Divine source from which
they come.
SIN place of boasting of our great
ness let us humbly praise and thar k
Him to whom we owe all. The strength
and welfare of our republic, the en-
durance of its splendid institutions, and
the progress of our Christian civiliza-
ton, must depend upon the spirit with
which our people can observe the pur-
pose Of this day and recognize our obi
cations to the providence of God. In
celebrating this occasion, let US remem-
Der that no service of song and no words
of eloquent praise are so expressive of
gratitude to the Almighty as are deeds
of charity and kindness to the poor and
helpless among us.
'In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of the Commonwealth to be here
unto affixed. Done at Frankfort this,
18th day of November, 1906, and in the
115th year of the Commonwealth.

INCREASE In
POPULATION.
Of More Than Three Hundred Since
1906.

Miss Daut Marcum, City Assessor
and Census taker, has completed the
taking of the census and finds that
within the corporate limits of Columbia
there are 975 inhabitants, an increase
of 321 since 1906. AS above stated this
list is strictly within the Incorporation
and does not include quite number
who reside barely outside the lines.
We take it that if the limits were ex-
tended quarter of mile, something
like 800 names, possibly more, would
be added to the census list.
This is an excellent record for our
town and we feel justly proud of the
showing, especially as Columbia has ex-
perienced no boom. but simply good,
healthy growth.

MRS. CHARLOTTE
PATTERSON.
Formerly Of Adair County Died Near
Moody, Texas, November 10th.

Mrs. Charlotte Patterson died at the
home of her adopted son, Mr.. John Kill
man, near Moody, Texas, on the 10th of
this month, death resulting from the
infrmatives of old age. She was 70
years old and was born and reared in
tais county where she enjoyed the good
will of all who knew her. Many years
ago Mrs. Patterson and her husband,
Mr.. E. ]. Patterson, removed to Texas
where he died some 10 or IL years later.
Since that time she has spent part of
her time in the lone Star State and a
part in this county. For the last three
or four years she made her home with
her nephew, Mr. G. H. Nell, of this
county, but again went to Texas last
Spring. She was in a feeble state of
health when she left the last time and
had just recovered from a severe and
sudden spell of sickness. Mrs. Patter-
son was lady highly respected and
woman of extraordinary will power and
determination She had sufficient money
to live easy and left a few thousand
dollars to go to relatives.

GONE TO MEXICO
Another Good Family Leaves Adair
For the Far West.

Some time ago Mrs. Matte Vance
and two of her children, and Mrs. Mar
garet Browning, her aunt, left for New

the 9th of this month, Mrs. Elizabeth
Murrell left to join Mrs. Vance in her
Western home, but to spend few days

10th, she was joined by her son, M. M.
Murrell, her grand son, W. M. Vance,
Miss Susie Mourning, her sister, and
Miss Martha Smith, who accompanied
her on her long journey. Only Mr.. T.
A. Murrell, assistant cashier of the

HON. c. c. McCHORD.
A Hearty and Just Endorsement Of
Good Official.

The Business Mems Protective Asso-
citation, of Bowling Green, on Nov. 2,
passed resolutions of endorsement,
highly complimentary to Hon. C. c..
McChord as Chairman of the Railroad
Commission of Kentucky. This resolu-
ton means that the business people of
Bowling Green endorse Mr.. McChord
so thoroughly that no other candidate
for his position need not apply in that
part of the state. We have never heard
criticism of his official acts from any
one and there is not doubt but that
he is able, well posted and honest in
the discharge of his duties. His place
would be hard to fill by an inexper-
fenced man.

ROY L. ROUNDS SUCCESS.

Prof. Roy L. Rounds, one of the
county's best known and most success

charge of the new Commercial depart
ment and to assist in the Normal work.
Prof. Rounds has made careful prep
arations for giving instructions in these
branches, and with his characteristic
fidelity to duty will no doubt succeed.
Already there has been a number of
applications for the department and
the outlook is flattering for a good
opening. This department will open

Mr.. Rounds is son of Mr.. and Mrs.

young man the business world is
clamoring for to-day.

from the Maine Central's new Air Bresk
car, which has just been completed at
the Waterville car shops. This car
carries all devices necessary to demon
strate the use Of the air brake and goes
from station to station for the purpose
of familiarizing the engineers and train
men of the Maine Central system with
its use. The entire outfit weighs 30 tons
something like three times the weight
of the average passenger car. Mr.. b. /.
Brown was in charge and while here
gave two demonstrations for the benefit
of the Maine Central employees. This Is
not new custom with the Maine Cen

depended on the Air Break car belong

having a car OF their own.
