dressed very large audience at the
court house last Monday afternoon
in the interest of the Democratic State

the county to hear him. In the fore
noon he was kept busy shaking hands
with old associates and talking ofsinci-
dents of long ago.
Before Mr.. Hardin began speaking
the Columbia Brass Band played sever
al stirring airs, and when the music
ceased, the speaker was introduced in
appropriate language by Mr.. Rollin
Hurt.
When Mr. Hardin arose to make his
address he was greeted in true Ken
lucky style. In beginning Mr.. Hardin
paid beautiful tribute to his old home
after which he took up national issues
which he handled for about ten min
utes. Reaching State issues he spoke
for three quarters of an. hour, making
a strong speech for the Democratic as
pirants to office from Governor down.
He was given the closest attention. his
speech evidently doing good. There
were number of Republicans in the
audience who listened from first te
last with great deal of inter est,
When Mr.. Hardin concluded Mr.. l..
c. winfrey, Dem rdc candidate t.

ITS FUTURE EFFECT.

Has it occurred to you that the hold
ing of the Louisville Conference in
this place has given Columbia the very
best advertisement it could possibly
get. Over two hundred preachers and
laymen from various sections of the
State were here, and with one accord,
they stated that they were especially
pleased with the entertainment they
received, and were delighted with the
appearance of the town. Many were
surprised to see the amount of business
that is daily transacted in the place..
The News personally met number of
ministers, who took especial delight in
boosting" Columbia, her enterprises
and hospitable citizens. In talking to
one minister and in answer to the ques-
ton, "Have you all got comfortable
honest" he said: ST have been a mem
Der of Conference a good many years,
and Columbia and Campbellsville have
displayed more genuine hospitality than
any towns where / have been since /
became a member of the body" This
was gratifying statement, and when
we took into consideration that these
kind words will be spoken by many of
the ministers, or expressions to that
effect, all over the State, we feel sure
that Columbia has been benefited by
having Conference with us.

THREE. THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
Appropriated to BuiId.a Pike from
Columbia to. the Green
County Line.
LOOKS LIKE THE ROAD IS ACERTAlNTY.

The Adair County Fiscal Court, all the
magistrates present, voted three thous-
and dollars to be expended in building a
pike from here to the Green county line.
The appropriation will build the bridge
across Russell's Creek, and it will be
no trouble to raise the funds for grad
ing-and graveling. Representatives of
the other end say that the county of
Green will build the road to the Adair
line. 1t looks like a go, and before
many months we may expect to hear of
every thing being in tangible shape. The
building of this pike should stimulate
those who are anxious for one to the
Cumberland river, and they should
work with renewed energy.

Rev. j. F. Claycomb, preached his fare
well sermon at the Presbyterian church
last Sunday forenoon. His subject was
Nov, men see not the bright light
which is in the clouds. The ideas ad-
vanced were that all things worked for
good. He cited many serious happen
ings in ancient times and many of re-
cent date, that subsequent years proved
that they were for the best. A good
congregation heard him. In the begin
ming of his discourse he stated that his
leaving Columbia was not on account of
the salary he was receiving, nor his
treatment here. He had no complain
to make. His departure was solely to
better prepare himself to preach the
Gospel.

FIREMEN DISTURBED.
Last Night by Some One Turning in
False Alarm-A Fineable OF.
fense and Perpetrators
Better Look Out.

The fire boys were disturbed last
might by a false ala.m turned In by
some one on a telephone or from ono
of the telephone exchange Offices.
The alarm sounded about 1890.
just as the boys and horses were get
ting to sleep. The Gre boys say the
alarm came in from the old tele-
phone station. The department is
connected with both stations and
either exchange station can turn in
an alarm Of fire. 1t is Il great dis
advantage and trouble 90 the fire
boys To have to answer false alarm
and for the bell to tap during the
night. The council has seen fit to
place fine on tbs oncnsc and any
one to have willfully turned in a
| false alarm Is subject to fine.
Chief Slaughter said in speaking
of false alarms that of course in
many instances false, alarms arc
turned in when 1t Is thought there Is
fire, but they are turned in by
those who do not think of the trou
Bile and expense it is to make the
| run.
