EARL R. EPPERsON
Visits Columbia and Entertains
aLar&e Audience.

1t was very gratifying to the citizens
Ut this place to have had the subject of
this writing with them last Wednesday
evening. He was here in response to
an invitation from Mr.. j. o. Russell,
for whom he was named, to deliver an
Grafton, the subject being, can Ever
Present Problem. The Presbyterian
church was filled to its utmost capacity,
and when the speaker went to the
stand he was given an ovation.
Judge H. C. Baker, in a few we'll
chosen words, introduced young Epper-
son, and for twenty minutes the speak
er entertained his hearers with his SUBJ
ject matter-labor and capital. Mr..
Epperson is only nineteen years of age,
but he delivered, oratorically, a most
captivating and logical speech, and
since its rendition many compliments
have been paid the young man. He is
ambitious and has entered upon a life
of usefulness, determined to make his
mark for good in the world. There is
an old adage, 'There is room at the
top" and young Epperson has started
up the ladder of fame, his friends be-
ieving that he will eventually reach
the summit.
Earl R. Epperson is a son of Mr.. W..
p. Epperson, deceased, who was born
and reared in Adair county, and who
for number of years was a business
man in Columbia, and who numbered
his friends by his acquaintance.
During Mr.. Epperson's stay in Co.
lumbia he was a guest of Mr.. j. O.
Russell, and had the opportunity of
meeting many relatives he had never
before had the pleasure of seeing. He
returned to Center College Friday,
with the best wishes of the people of
Columbia and Adair County.

DELIGHTFULLY."-
ENTERTAINED.
We're the Residents of This vi.
cinity Tuesday and Wednes.
day Evenings Last.

The entertainment at the Presbyteri-
an Church last Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings were all that the most enthu-
siastic friends of the M. and F. High
School could have expected or desired.
On Tuesday evening the leading feature
was an elocution contest by a class of
young Misses for gold medal, given
by Mr.. ]. o. Russell, of this city, and the
music was rendered by Miss Hughes
in most entertaining manner. To do
justice to each contestant would require
too much space and would SAVIOR too
much of boquet pitching. The fact is
that no class of the same age ever ap-
peared before an audience in this city
with as as few defects, and as many
meritorious points. Each and every
one seemed to go to the bottom of
their subject and unroll its beauties to
a large and appreciative audience.
While only one could win the prize, and
while Miss Mary Miller was the win.
ner, yet the other young ladies should
feel that they made great strike in.
winning the merited applause of such
an intelligent audience. Miss Mary;
Miller can likewise congratulate her
self as well as enjoy the honor which
the medal bears, and which was won in.
one of the hardest and closest contests
of merit and talent ever waged in an
elocution contest in this town. The
medal was awarded by Mr.. Gordon
Montgomery in a most entertaining
manner.
On Wednesday evening the exercises
consisted of music by Miss Carey
Hughes and Readings by Miss Taylor,
and from beginning to close was high
ly appreciated by the many present.
No critic could pick flaw in Miss Tay-
lors Readings, for where humor, pa
thos or sublime sentiment was init
mated, she brought it out in living form
and beauty. The many manifestations
of approval and appreciation by the
large audience is sufficient guarantee
of the true esteem for Miss Taylor as
an elocutionist and teacher. The mu-
sic rendered by Miss Hughes was clas-
steal and measured up to the highest
and fondest hopes of her many friends
who have been watching her rapid ad-
vancement with great interest. The
many pieces of difficult composition re-
quiring considerable time to render,
thoroughly convinced the many who
were fortunate enough to hear her,
that she is skillful pianist with but
few equals.
Thursday evening Prof Ohlenmnacher
gave a grand concert which was highly
appreciated by many lovers of high
class music. At intervals during the
evening Misses Taylor and Rowe favor
ed the audience with Readings.

COLUMBIA ADAIR COUNTY KENTUCKY WEDNESDAY, 1906
COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS
BEFORE.

I notice in the columns of your last
issue an article from our old friend and
townsman, ]. C. Yates, of Bradfords-
vile, in which he manifests much inter-
est in the welfare of this community,
touching a business proposition now on
for action, all of which our people have
read and still after all, headstrong and
determined, we have decided to move
out of the old beaten paths and keep
with the spirit of the times, and wheth-
er Gradyville and this fertile section
will meet with failure remains to be
proven. In all her past the white flag
has never been hoisted, and year by
year her conditions have improved.
l think am justifiable in stating that
failures do not come this way. Not
only are we going to establish bank,
bnt there are other things in the indus
trial world that will be brought out in
the mar future. The next step in
which there is union of sentiment and
action, is the putting in of water works.
We have ample water as good as earth
affords, and we are going to put it un-
der control. The spring on the old
Creel Yates farm will supply the water,
while a gasoline engine will pump it to
a reservoir or stand pipe on top of the
hill back of the mill, and from that
point it will be distributed with all the
force necessary to fight fire or for any
other purpose. There is some talk,
and / hope to see it materialize, of
putting in an electric light plant. We
have the power and can afford to meet
the expenses for the convenience it
would give. The fact is, after we get
our waterworks, fully believe that
we can organize and put in a small ice
plant. It is the opinion of number of
our best citizens that a plant of this
kind would pay here. Midtown, Co.
lumbia, and number of other places
would buy our surplus, and it need not
be surprising to hear of such a step in
the near future. AS an individual, l
very much appreciate the interest
manifested in our section by our old
friend, and it affords me pleasure to in
vite him back tn the old home to share
in the growth and business expansion
that Gradyville is now entering.
