tional institutions wears off, their ia
cilities are forgotten and our children
are sent away, what becomes of our
schools? If when we get sick a physi-
clan is always ordered up from Burkes-
vile, how will our doctors live? Sup
pose every time man wanted hair
cut or a tooth pulled he waited for the
stated visit of a peregrinating barber
or dentist, how could our BARRIERS and
dentists meet their obligations? What
would our publishers do if when our
business men wanted calendars or other
advertising they religiously went to the
Courier-Journal, and we all refused to
take our county papers, but got our
local news by way of Louisville?
In word, what would any of US dc

the stranger that this is where Column

A few years ago the head of a semi

too selfishly absorbed to discover that

If you will kindly permit me a little
space in your columns, will give you a
few facts and figures about Montgom-
cry County, Ohio.
Your paper comes regularly, and gives
me the news from home, which / enjoy
very much to read. The farmers are
very happy over prosperous year.
Corn will average about 60 to 70 bushels
to the acre, and sells from 90 to so
cents bushel. Wheat averaged from
25 to IS bushels per acre, and sold at
rs to 80 cents per bushel. Hogs are
selling between S. and $685. per 100
pounds. Butter and eggs sell from rs
to 40 cents.
Dayton is city of over 100, 600 peo-
pie, and furnishes a good market for
the produce of the farmers. It is a
great manufacturing city. The four

to make it grow" These were the
words of a man in a small western
town. The reason given for stagnation
in business was, that the farmers pat
ronized other towns, and that the peo-
pie in general freely used the mail or
der book.
81 have been away from Columbia
for four years, and the change now
see convinces me of the value of dill
gent effort against whiskey."
''The most orderly Christmas in
years.
Zone of the very best towns in Ken
lucky"
These are statements from substan-
tial men-citizens of our town and
others.
We are entering on new year, our
schools on new term, and if he takes
time to think, every good citizen will
set himself resolutely for the growth
of Columbia in every respect.
1t was the writer's pleasure to have
read lately in a paper that circulates well
throughout the State an article on the
desirable features of Columbia.
''Chief among these features were
mentioned the moral tone of the town
and the faithfulness with which law
lessness was being prosecuted. And,
while this vigilance has wrought great
good, and our officers are worthy of
commentator, every honest citizen S
influence is needed in way that does
not call for specification here. The
number ofssrwhite men has decreased
who are willing to be classed with the
lowest element of lawless negroes.
The writer agrees that any place OF
business still under the very strong
suspicion of encouraging the use or
vending of intoxicants should receive
the hearty contempt and quiet opposi-
ton of every man who is for the up
building of his town. But there are
men in Columbia who are clean in bust
ness, profession and Office, and public
spirited without the stencil Of graft.
Such men should receive our support,
for they make for the permanent pub
lie veal
But in every community there are
the selfish, and we all are in danger of
forgetting our neighbor.
One illustration of this is the fact Of
how easily the interests of our home
merchants are overlooked. Some indi-
viduals and institutions by foul manipu-
lation are enable to escape their share
of taxes and the general burdens of
society, but the merchant usually has
to bear his part, and yet of all men
possibly he receives the least consider
alton.
In nearly every community there is
growing up the mail.order practice, and
already small cities and rural districts
have built up in large cities establish
ments with millions of dollars of capital.
Developed to the limit this would
mean the total ruin of any town. Sup
pose every time any body wanted any
kind of merchandise he ordered it from
Chicago, what would become of our
merchants? If every time sack of
flour or foot of building material was
needed it were ordered from Minneapo-
lis or Nashville, what would our millers
do7 IF every time one Is 80 fort,,no+o

factory of the world, and am glad to
be one of its 5,400 employees. 1t has
pay roll of $500 week or 81, OO0,-
600 per year at present, and good pros
poets of doubling this in the next five
years. One of the N. C. RS, best
known features, is the extensive well
fare work, which it does for it's en-
ployees and for Dayton. 1t has a re-
lief association composed of employees
who pay 10 cents per week. and draw
So per week in case of sickness, and
SIP in case of death. A physician is
furnished free of charge. Trained
nurses are kept at the factory during
working hours, to take care of any
small injuries that may heppen to the
employees. The plant consists of 13
fine. buildings, with floor space of 80
acres. One of these buildings is We'll
fare Hall, used as a dining room by
those who are employed. A good
warm meal is served for Is cents. A
SIS, 900 pipe organ will be installed JAN
uary LIST, 1907. The noon hour will be
heightened to hour and Is minutes.
Good entertainments will be given free
to the employees during the noon hour.
The seating capacity of the hall is
about 5000. 1t was used by the Re-
publicans last Fall for their State
Convention. A field is furnished by
the company for the boys of the COM
munity to learn farming. Prizes are
offered for the best gardens, and the
boys can have all they raise. These
gardens are models of up-to-date
trucking, and are in charge of trained
! gardeners. Our base ball team won II
straight games last Summer, and were
beaten on the 18th game by a nine
from Covington, KY. The company
maintains a complaint and suggestion
department, which receives any COM
plants or suggestions offered by the
employees. If a suggestion is adopted,
81 is paid to the person who gave it.
At the end of three months prizes
ranging from SIS to $50 are given for
the best suggestions received during
/ the previous three months. $4,000 sug-
gestions were received this year, and
several thousand of them were adopted.
One suggestion which they received
and adopted, saves the company $50
every day. The factory is surrounded
by beautiful flowers, vines, shrubs and
lawns, whict are kept in perfect condi-
dition. One bath in Winter and two in
Summer are given the employees on
the company's time, together with
soap and towel. These are a few of
the many things the company does for
its employees.
The company started about twenty
years ago with two men and a boy.
The present success and size of the
plant is due largely to the efforts of it's

 The many friends of Rev. w. C.

It is customary for the Methodist ministers to remain not lorger than four years at any one church and Rev. Watson will close his fourth year as pastor of this church this month. It is therefore hardly probable that he will remain here longer.
