world, in the form of men, who, when
they see their fellowmen attain unto a
little success or portion in life, they
will jump on him and fight him down
and do every thing in their power to
his hurt. Such men know not their
Christ, they are hypocrites and liars
and the truth is not in them.
Such able expositions of the burning
truths contained in the Bible as the one
delivered by Rev. Kasey upon this oc-
casion should cause men to examine
their own hearts and see whether or
not they are living in accordance with
Johns view of the matter. The dis
course was powerful, logical and con-
yincing, and the depths of its meaning
is unfathomable. 1t is not my purpose
to make meritorious mention of any
person unless believe he or she to be
deserving of such, but when a man has
power and force of character sufficient
to say what he believes is true and
right. then think he deserves credit
and praise. F. Mel. )

BURNING TRUTHS.

The large congregation at the Christ
ian church last Sunday forenoon GER
tainly heard sermon worth listening
to. The Rev. A. R. Kasey, of the
Methodist church, was the speaker,
and tor almost three quarters of an
hour he held the attention of his au-
dience in way that was almost mar
velous. 1t may be an astounding fact
to great many persons, but according
to the Bible there are large per cent.
of liars in the world to day, who have
not the truth in them and these liars
are not all outside the church either.
John puts in this meaning. ."Any man
who saith he knows God and keepeth
not his commandments. is liar and
the truth is not in him." 1t is indeed
strange thing to see some meh live
lie and act lie every day, on the out
side among their fellowmen. when with
in their very souls they know that Gods
word tells them very plainly that such
is the case.
Rev. Kasey's comparison of worth
less hound dog to great many men
was very appropriate and better IL
lustration of the subject could not have
been portrayed. The old lazy hound
that would not run or let any of the
rest of the pack get ahead of him be-
cause he would Jump on them and fight
them back, can be applied to men every
where and a great many right here in
Columbia, as for that matter. There
are lots of two legged hounds in the

FEESE.--WREN.
Mr.. E. R. FeeSe and Miss Edna
Wren Married in Louisville
Wednesday, July 81.
QUITEANUMBER OF FRIENDS PRESENT.

The COurier-J ournal of last Thursday
contains the following announcement of
the marriage of two young people well
known here:
The parlor of the Willard Hotel was
the scene of a unique wedding at
o'clock last night. The principals were
Ellie Feese, well-known young man
of Columbia, Adair county, and Miss
Edna May Wren, ward of the Ken
lucky Children's Home Society. The
marriage was elimination of court
ship begun when both the bride and
groom were mere children.
Miss Wren, who was taken in charge
by the society when she was an infant,
had been placed in the home of R. L.
Newly, leading citizen of Adair
county. She remained with the Newly
family until Mr.. Newby's death, which
occurred few months ago. At that
time the family was broken up and
Miss Wren was again taken in charge
by the society and cared for until her
marriage last night
Mr.. Feese, whose wife she became,
followed her to Louisville, and after
proving to the society his worthiness,
gained the Institutions consent to the
union
A moving incident, and one proving
her deep appreciation of the society
that has cared for her since childhood,
and especially her high regard for
George L. Sehon, State superintendent
of the society, occurred just at the close
of the marriage ceremony. When the
words of the presiding minister pro-
nouncing the couple husband and wife
had been brought to close the young
woman hurriedly left the side of her
husband and impressed fervent kiss
upon the lips of Mr.. Sehon. The mar
riage was witnessed by number of
friends of the bride and groom, among
whom were score of guests of the
hotel. Mr.. and Mrs. Feese will make
their home in Louisville.

]. McSCOTT
ASSASSINATED.
lie Receives Fatal Wounds Saturday
Night at Helena, Ark, Dying
Sunday Afternoon.
PARTICULARS CAN NOT BE LEARNED.

Last Sunday morning, about 8 o clock,
a dispatch from Helena, Ark, reached
Columbia, directed to Mr.. James Gar
nett, and signed ]. P. Burks, which
read:
81. M. Scott fatally shot, come at
once"
Mr.. Garrett was not at home, being
en- route for Pineville, and during the
day nothing else was discussed. About
five o'clock in the afternoon the Sec
ond message came, stating that Mr..
Scott died at 2:3O o'clock.
Monday Judge w. w. Jones, for the
family of the deceased, wired Mr..
Burks to have the body shipped to this
place, and it will probably reach Camp
bellsville this Tuesday, night.
Mr.. Scott was a well-known news
paper man and at the time of his assas-
nation was City Editor of the Helena,
Ark, World. He was also well-known
in this section of Kentucky, having been
a writer on the Columbia Spectator and
the Mountainer, which was published
at Somerset. Like all the flesh, he had
his faults, but he was a kind-hearted
man, ever ready to lend his assistance
to those in distress. He was honest in
all his transactions, meeting his obliga-
tions promptly. His untimely and man.
ner of death was generally regretted
here where he had large number of
friends. He leaves a wife and one
child, son about five years old.
All the information we have is con-
tanned in the following dispatch:
Little Rock, Ark, Aug. "A spe-
cial to the Gazette from Helena, Ark,
says: ]. M. Scott, city editor of the
Helena World, was found on the side
walk this morning at 2o'clock. Two
bullets had entered his head, and, al
though he lived few hours after being
found, he was unable to make a state
ment. So far, no clue to the assassin
exists.
A month ago an attempt was made to
kill Mr.. Scott. He was attracted to
the rear of his office by noise, and on
approaching to ascertain the cause two
shots were fired at him. He began
firing in return, and his assailanus fled.
He was not able to identify them.
1t is generally believed that the kill
ing was due to personal quarrel, and
that it had no connection with the cru
SADIE of the World on the police depart
ment some months ago, which forced
the resignation of the chief of police,
who afterward attempted to commit
suicide.

FARMERS MEETING.

AS the season of the year has
come when the farmers can take
a days lay off occasionally, |
think it would be well to have a
meeting of the Farmers Insti-
tute, and reorganize and take a
new start. The State is spend
ing a good sum of money in send
ing out practical farmers to ev-
cry county in the State to hold
Institutes to instruct the farm
ers along agricultural lines. AS
some of these men will be in Co.
lumbia October Bird and 4th to
hold an Institute, | think we
ought to try to get our farmers
interested, so as to give them a
good hearing, and thus help to
advance the agricultural inter-
ests of Adair county.
therefore call a meeting Of
the Adair County Institute to
meet at the Court House Satur-
day, August 10, 1907.

A UNIQUE SOCIAL.

The Ladies Aid Society of the Pres
byterian Church conceived a novel way
of raising church funds, and Tuesday
night of last week, at the home of Miss
Minnie Triptett, large number of the
residents of Columbia were made &C.
quainted with the idea.
At 8 o'clock the home and yard were
brilliantly Illuminated, and one hour
later there had assembled fully one
hundred young people, and many older
persons of the community.
AS the guests arrived, they entered
the parlor where they were met by a
committee of ladies-Mrs. Geo. w
Thomas, Mrs. w. E. Bradshaw, and
Miss Minnie Triplett, who inspected
their wearing apparel, taxing each ac-
cording to the value of their garments.
The fines varied from one cent to five
cents, and the average to person was
about twenty cents. In that way, and
the amount the fortune teller, who
ioOhCO uiuCOuo, dliu VIII was ioSoLCu III
tent few yards from the residence,
received, the ladies raised over thirty
dollars. After every body had been
taxed, and had been made acquainted
with their future prospects, Mrs. Geor-
gia Shelton being endowed at that time
with the faculty of knowing what is
coming in the lives of each individual,
Miss Margaret Todd rendered piano
solo faultlessly Misses Martha Han
cock and Lima Rosenfield sang beauti-
fully, and Misses Katie Murrell and Nj
ma Marcum recited admirably.
Misses Nellie Follis, Elizabeth Coy,
Mollie Flowers and Mary Triplett did
themselves proud at the lemonade and
punch bowl stand.
Taking it altogether, it was the most
enjoyable entertainment given in Co.
lumbia for years.
The members of the Columbia Brass
Band volunteered their services, and at
intervals rendered some of their very
best selections. To them the ladies of
the society desire to express their
grateful thanks.

Black Russian Oats and Glover.
a. l.. BrOOkS.)

AS | am getting many inquiries ask
ing about the Black Russian oats,
will answer those questions through
the columns of the paper and save
me many hours of writing. F1rst,
they are, | believe, the largest ana
heaviest yielding oats grown any
where. So many ask what they yield.
If | would mention their highest
Weld | know of, some would SOW on
poor land and would say | misrepre-
sented them. Their yield this year
was 671b bushels per acre on white
land. | will let the people guess
what they would yield on good land'
They grow with three grains in one
mash on extra good land, and two on
land not so good, and only one on
moor land. If they are soWn early
in fall they grow very rank, some,
times over foot high. One fall ana
winter | pastured 30 head OF hogs
and all my band of Shropshire sheep'
In the spring | took the stock OH.
Then the oats made a heavy ylelu'
The shocks were 50 thick in rows
that a team could not drive through
them in places. :.
The question is asked how late III
the spring they can be sown. IL pc
fore March first they will make oats
hut not SO heavy yield. But IL sowh
late in spring they will make pasture
oil summer and winter and make an
extra heavy crop the next season
