A VOICE FROM FAIRPLAY.

l desire to say that l am proud of
the Adair County News. Itlstimulates
our boys, nearly all of them engaged in
some kind of enterprise.
have visited other counties recent
ly and was asked what makes Columbia
grow so rapidly. It is because the
people of Adair county want town.
l love our town and the people of Co.
lumbia love the country. We all in
tend to work together for advancement.
Our county is full of spectators. Tim
Der men are as thick as wildcats in the
mountains of Arkansas, and they are
given hearty welcome. There are no
better business men than can be found
in Columbia and Adair county, and the
ladies, God bless them. are as hand
some as pictures. The hospitality of
the county can not be surpassed. So
let us push forward until Columbia be-
comes thriving city and the county
throughout the most enterprising in
the State.

SMOOTHNESS In MOMANhOOD and
GIRLS.

A young lady approached me the
other day and requested that l write
something smooth about the ways of
girls and women. Of course l couldn't
refuse, and told her I'd do my best,
although l haden't studied up on that
subject for some little bit. The first
thing l did was to get piece of glass
and put my paper down on it. She ask
ed me why did that, and I informed
her, so that the writing might be
smooth, whether the words were or not
She seemed to not understand my
meaning, and departed from me with a
puzzled look on her face. Now when
a boy goes to writing smooth about
girls and women he must be one of
those good natured fellows that doesen't
take offense at anything, because if he
is high-strung a giddy girl may say
something that might throw him GU: of
gear at any time. AS we are talking
about smoothness in women | will re-
late an instance that occurred to me in
this town not long ago. was solicited
to come to the home of certain wo-
man in the southern part of the city to
practice my profession on interior dec
Grating. During the progress of the
job, when / reported for duty one morn
ing, she cried out just as soon as l got
on the front veranda: ''What made you
so late this morning." She frightened
me at first, but when pulled out my
regulator" l assured her that was
only minute and AZ seconds behind the
promised time, but she seemed not to
be, satisfied still, and kept fussing
around. So / told her to make cal
culation, at so much per hour, and de-
duct the lost time l minute and AZ
seconds from that amount. She also
looked like she had been struck with
an iceberg and left the room hastily.
This is what call a smooth woman,
with the rough side turned out. On
the other hand was engaged at an
other place in this town, and the young
lady would ask me to wait until about
8 or o'clock before l began work, and
in the afternoon would quit at 4 or 5.
She never did question my time or
make any remarks about my work., She

feet. Several bootleggers were arrest

will be tried in the Federal Court. Be-
fore his coming, it is said, it was but
little trouble to get bottle of liquor at
any time. Now, we are told, it is al
most impossible to secure it. A dar-
key was asked on the streets few
days ago if he knew any person who
had whisky for sale. His answer was:

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister. lawyer. journalist.
physician. author or business man is
forced under pressure OF modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactlve use Of the brain.
Analysis OF the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate OF potash,
separating It from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen. and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day. II we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know tnat the phosphate Of
potash. as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built. It will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
Of the drug shop. for nature rejects 1t.
The elemental mineral must be pre-
sented through food directly from ma
lures laboratory.
