There is paper in this land,
You bet it's hard to beat;
1t has eight pages every time
And is issued once each week. 4
1t, all the dailies, represents
Except the yellow ones,
Nothing is found in it's contents
Unwholesome for little ones.
1t, from all sections, letters gives
And thus we get the news,
OF who is sick or gone abroad,
From Maine to Vera Cruz.
It's column of Land, Stock and Crops
Is record of sales.
It's readers thus get everything
While non subscriber fails.
1t mentions all who go to town.
1t gives the births and deaths
And marriages are mentioned, too,
In all this great Commonwealth.
1t, all Improvements, advocates
In town and country too.
Please read it's columns every week,
/ know it, advice is true.
In politics, it standeth high,
It's voice is shrill and loud
And onward is it's battle cry,
Till of victory we are proud.
1t loves to hear the rooster crow,
1t sure will scotch a wheel,
Or fire it's gun, though cannons boom
Upon this. our battle field.
Ten thousand homes it soon should reach
For members to peruse.
It's name? Well that no secret is,
It's The Adair County News.

our community.
The spirit Of building new and
repairing old houses seems to pre-
vail in both home and church.
The good Methodist bretheren
have erected a beautiful new
church in the little village of
Bridge Port which adds greatly
to the appearance of the town.
1t will not be dedicated until next
Spring on account of wishing for
good weather. The minister in
charge, Rev. George Breeding,
whom we regard to be well wor-
thy his calling, filled his regular
appointment within it's walls last
Sunday.
Also, the good Baptist people
are repairing the old union church
house on the hill which when
completed, will be nice, COM
Portable building. There will be
regular preaching the LIST Sunday
and the preceding Saturday in
each month by our worthy pastor
Rev. w. J. Levi, who has been
with us for five years.
Mr. Thomas Pickett has erected
new and handsome residence on
his farm which is much appreci-
ated by his wife and daughtes.
Mr.. Riley Compton, w. w.
Harris and others have added
new rooms to their homes that
make them more convenient and
look better.
Uncle Robert Browning, one of
our oldest citizens, who is turn
ing in his 76 year, retains health
and strength to a remarkable de-
gree. He is able to do light farm
work, attend to all the chores, at
tend church and can ride to town
a distance of 6 miles, and return
the same day.
Aunt Betsy Pulliam, one of our
good old mothers, is very low
with pneumonia. While having
the attention of her family ply
stefan and careful nursing of
loving children and husband, yet
her recovery is doubtful. She
bears her suffering with great
patience and is willing and ready
to answer the summons.
Aunt Nancy Cassaday, another
example of piety and religion,
who is clinging to the faith in
Christ, is patiently awaiting her
summons. She is suffering with
a combination of diseases subject
to old age and will be greatly
missed in the home and commun.

YOSEMITE.
A terrific rain and wind storm
i passed over this section Monday
night 18th, blowing down trees.
Rev. H. M. Shouse and wife
entertained the officers and teach
ers of the Baptist Sunday School
on the 18th.
Mrs. R M. Sharp and Mrs.
Helen Carter went to Burnsides
Wednesday to visit Mrs. Dump
Carter and other relatives.
Our people are wonderfully
elated with the flattering pros
poets of a railroad through the
county.
Roads here are simply in a de-
plorable condition, the turn pixies
are no better than dirt roads.
In many places four horses are
required to pull less than a two
horse load.
Our new Sheriff has been kept
busy since he come into office.
He has been on the run day and
night.
Mrs. Laura Lee, of Cynthiana,
has charge of the intermediate
department of Middlesboro Nor
NAL college and is giving general
satisfaction. Mrs. M. H. Judd
has charge of the primary classes.
Several of our citizens went to
Liberty Monday to see our new
Judge perform. LATE is not a
great improvement over Judge
Rains in point of good looks but
as to manner Of conducting his
courts we are not prepaid to say
as we have not been present at
any of his sittings.
The case of Mrs. Veil Halter
against John Hogen in the quar-
terly at Liberty Monday resulted
in verdict for the defendant. The
suit grew out of the sale of a
horse and has been quite costly
one as there was some rs wit
nesses summoned to court Mon
day.
Several of our teamsters have
been notified by the Lincoln
county road superior that they
have by unusual heavy hauling
damaged the turn pike road from
the easy and Lincoln line to Nc
Kinney and that they will be re-
quired to repair the injury by

There is some considerable kick
ing being done but it seems to
, US like kicking against the pricks.
The law which is a new one to
, most people here is being dis
, cussed in all of it's phases, and
some Of the opinions advanced
by the most learned would cause
|, Blackstone and even Boylestone
to sink into insignificance. Some
claim that no such law disgraces
our Statute while others contend
that if there be such a law it
was intended for corporations
and not individuals.
These are only a few of the
very many opinions advanced
and those mostly interested spend
considerable time discussing the
means Of defeating the much
hated statute, while their teams
are enjoying a much needed rest.
The attempt by the Lincoln
authorities to enforce the law
has about put a stop to the bus
mess of leaning. Those who have
not been served with notices
seem to be afraid to cross the
line less they be caught and

the hue OF the pOngee gown shown IN

over in shaded embroidery of the same
coloring- Near the top Of the bodice
front this embroidery runs up on a
band of white pongee, which is headed
by a lace tucker above the slightly
low-cut neck.
Lace ruffes on the shoulders fall upon
embroidered sleeves. These are loose
and terminate in q pun OF chiffon over

Around the neck OF the gown is a
bertha IA three sections connected by
straps. Next the neck it is plain. and is
narrow all around with a crescent shape
In front and rufhed edges
The decorated bodice front continues
on down the front OF the skirt. which
is scanned. The extension OF the bodice
front forms a panel between the ends
OF a wide girdle. These ends are turned
back from IL, and trimmed on each side
with ribbon ruching and fancy buttons.
In the back the girdle ends In a ruching
like a rose with an ornament in the
center.
A circular skirt is trained and finished
with a dOuble-headed ruffie. The top
part is an outstanding knife pleating
pat on with a scalIoped effect above
wavy ruching which follows its outlines
and covers the top edge of the fiounce.
The coordination OF knifs-p -pieating with
an old-fashioned kind OF ruching is very
quaint AMI charming.
This gown may, OF course, be made up
less eXpenEiVely BY omitting the em-
brOideTy upon the bodice. in which case
designs in Tuching might serve to give
a decorative effect.
