rella Schmitt in a pistol duel Monday
night in the saloon at 227 Seventeenth

new ROLLER MILL RUNNING.

Mr.. ]. S. Stapp has been quite a
while in getting his Roller Mill equipped
and adjusted to his notion, but few
days ago he announced ready for bust
ness. AS we understand it, the Stapp
Mill is thoroughly equipped for produc-
ing the very best results in the way of
making high-grade mill products. The
time and money required in building
and equipping this mill is no small mat
ter, and Mr.. Stapp is to be congratu-
lated on putting in such valuable and
complete enterprise. While not inside
the corporate limits of Columbia, yet
it is within easy reach and will doubt
less do a thrifty business from the very
start.

jamestown street in the Mctgomery ad-

tors of the Bank of Columbia held last

elected Assistant Cashier. Mr.. Murrell
is young man of unusual business

For four years he served as County
Judge of Adair county and since the ex-
piration of his term of office he has been
very successful in the insurance field.
Mr.. Murrell has a host of friends

The Fiscal Court defeated the propo-
sition to buy and keep pair of well
trained blood-hounds. Mr.. T. c.. Day.
idson, Deputy Sheriff, offered to keep
the dogs without expense to the coun-
ty. While dogs are not accepted as
evidence, yet they would be of great
value in preventing crime as we'll as
catching criminals. In our judgment
it was mistake when the proposition
was defeated.

FAIR WARNING.

1t is not desirable to place accounts
in the hands of a Collection Agency,
neither is it desirable to have thousands
of dollars accommodating on books and
never paid. Every person who takes a
paper ought to pay for it, and not
force publisher to beg for the pay. l
am tired of such methods and will put
out several hundred of accounts unles S
paid within short time. If you owe
for your paper come and pay. Promises
don't pay my accounts and not likely to
square you on my books.

UNITED BRETHREN.
One of the Most Successful Meet
ines in the History Of the
Conference.

The Forty-second Annual Kentucky
Conference of United Brethren which
met in the Presbyterian Church in this
city last week was of the most success
full meetings in the history of the Con-
ference.
Bishop T. C. Carter, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, presided over the session and
despatched business in manner that
was pleasing to all. Rev l. b. Fisher
of Louisville, was elected Secretary.
The attendance of ministers and del
egates was unusually large, and reports
from the various churches show that
this denomination is in very thriving
condition. The membership has been
largely increased, the Sunday Schools
doing a great work, and the church as
whole is rapidly forging to the front.
Throughout the session the pulpits
were filled by able men, and some very
logical and eloquent sermons were de-
livered. On Sunday, Bishop T. c. Car
ter filled the pulpit at the Presbyterian
Church in the forenoon and at the
Courthouse in the afternoon, treating
our people to two excellent discourses::
D. C. w. Musgrove preached at the M.
E. Church Sunday morning, and Rev. l..
g. Fisher at the Presbyterian church in
the evening.
The Conference passed resolutions in
which they were very complimentary to
Columbians for the manner in which
they were entertained; to the Presby-
terian Church for the use OF their
building and to the ministers OF our
town, who rendered every assistance
possible. -
From every viewpoint, the meeting
was success and our people were de-
lighted at having the pleasure OF enter
tanning the body, and assure them of a
hearty welcome if they should again
select Columbia as meeting place.
During a business session it was de-
cided to erect church here. Partic-
ulars will be found in another column.

THE ROYAL WEDDING.
BriIliancy Temporarily Forgotten ir
Terrible Tradedy

Brilliancy Temporarily Forgotten In
Terrible Tragedy.
Thetragic event of the afternoon and
the narrow margin by which King AL
fonso and the new queen of Spain es-
capped death has caused the brilliancy
Of the royal wedding to be temporarily
forgotten, although it was to have in
augurated period OF unprecedented
festivities. Some of the wedding fea-
lures, however, were such as to fix
themselves indelibly upon the minds
of the spectators. One of the prettiest
sights was the tiny Prince Alfonso,
the actual heir to the throne, who ac-
companied the king. The little orphan
of the Princess of Asturias, was clad
in knickerbocllers of white silk and
reached only to the kings waist.
Bride Is Late.
King Alfonso reached the altar long
before Princess Victoria. The lengthy
wait which ensued led many to dread
an inopportune event. The king twice
arose on the throne and gazed stead
lastly toward the door. Hardly an
arms length away was the American
special envoy, Frederick w. White
ridge, who, through chance or design,
occupied the most favorable position
of any in the assemblage. With him
sat Gen. Dalstein, the French envoy,
and alongside of him the envoy of
Morocco, huge Othello swathed in
white, and next Chinese mandarin.
United States Represented.
Republican simplicity never was
more strikingly exemplified The Eu-
ropean courts were represented by
princes, most of them heirs to thrones
while France, the United States and
the South and Central American re-
publics stood out with plain ENJOYS.
AS the ceremony closed King AL
fonso embraced his bride and her
mother. This glimpse of domestic
tenderness as we'll as the democratic
touch given by the presence of many
poor people in the galleries who were
there by the kings request, made the
scene effective, to which melancholy
sequel quickly succeeded.
