DEATH OF MRS.
SUE F. RUSSELL.
AT the Residence Of MIR. ]. M. Rus.
sell Last Saturday at | I'm.

Mrs. Sue Russell died at the residence
of her brother-in-law, MIR. James M.
Russell, in this city, at p. M. Satur-
day morning, from cancer of the
bowels. Mrs. Russell had been in deli
cate health for number of years. suf-
fering frequently with her stomach.
and when confined to her room about
two weeks ago, the physicians decided
that the illness was due to cancer.
The deceased was born fifty-nine
years ago in Wayne county, Kentucky,
and was married to Mr.. Joseph Russell,
of this city, to which union two children
were born, DR.. Chas. M. and Joseph,
Jr., both of whom were with her at the
hour of death.
Early in life she professed her Savior,
joined the Baptist church and could al
ways be found in attendance at its
meetings when health would permit.
Her life was such that it proclaimed
her true Christian, veritable mother
in Israel; going over the land admins
tering to the sick, giving word of
cheer to those in distress, lending a
helping hand to the unfortunate-her
presence was a benediction and her
memory loved by all. The entire COM
munity is in heartfelt sympathy with
the bereaved sons and relatives.
The funeral services were held at
the residence at 9 o'clock, Sunday, by
Rev. A. R. Kasey, of the M. E.
Church, followed by the interment in
the Columbia cemetery.

ANOTHER PEACOCK.
Brings a Fancy Price, Young & COf.
fey the Purchasers.

Young and Coffey, of Columbia,
bought from j. P. Clayton, of Creels-
boro, last week, one of the most at
tractive and fine bred saddle stations
ever seen in this part of the country
for $500 spot cash, and stands Isl hands,
perfect in every point. Shows exceed
ingly fine action, and is as pretty in
every particular as is possible for a
horse to be. In fact he measures up to
the requirements of a perfect model,
and moves to suit the most exacting.
The price paid for him is far above the
average price of good ones of his age,
but we consider him one of the greatest
young horses ever seen in this part of
the country, and besides his purchasers
have the reputation of conservative
buyers. They see a great future for
him, not only in the market, but in the
steed as he carries as high breeding as
any horse in the State. He was sired
by Jordan Peacock, first dam by Potts
Artist, End dam by Red Squirrel. 1t is
readily seen that a more fancy bred
one can not be found in the State, COM
bining the blood of three of the greatest
families of horse flesh.
He will be placed under the care of
Mr.. 10 Coffey, Jr., one of the best
trainers in Southern Kentucky, and if
he fails to prove King of his class in
the show rings, he will fall far below
the expectations of all who have seen
him and know his breeding. The fact
is that he has been purchased to be
used in this community, not to be
placed on the market, and if the peo-
pie fail to recognize his value, it will
be great mistake.

PROSPEROUS YEAR
FOR COLUMBIA.
How the Adair County Capital Has
Jared During 1906.
(By Fred Mclean in the Evening Post.)

(By Fred Mclean in the Evening POSt)
With the close of the year 1906 it
can be said by the people of Columbia,
without fear of contradiction, that no
year in the past quarter of century
has brought such phenomenal success
and prosperity to the little capital of
Adair county.
This prosperous condition of affairs
cannot be attributed to any boom, but
it is just a healthy growth of the entire
town and county that bids fair to con-
tinue on and on until we can be truly
called a city among the ''hills." The
population of Columbia has jumped
from little over 600 in 1900 to 1000 in
1906, and the value of taxable property
has doubled during that period. When
the town Board of Supervisors met a
short time ago they thought it was still
not high enough, so they pitched in and
made raises aggregating over $72, 900.
The valuation of the taxable property
in Columbia as fixed by the Equalizing
Board is near the half-million mark.
The real secret Of the prosperous
condition is that there are two good
schools. From the very time that the
Board of Education of the Louisville
Conference decided on Columbia as a
location for the Lindsay Wilson Train
ing School, the town began to take on
new life, and people commenced to
move in and building began.
By the time the Lindsay Wilson
school was ready to open its doors the
M. & F. school, which was established
here back in the sos. came to the front
in new dress and with many new in
ducements for students.
There are no saloons or places of vice
to distract the minds of students in the
town and the watchword is morality.
The year 1906 in business circles,
according to the statements of the mer-
chants and banks, was the most pros
porous one with them in the past ten
years, and the indications are that 1907
will bless Columbia more bountifully
than the year that has just died.

BANK OF COLUMBIA.

In another column will be found a
statement of the Bank of Columbia at
close of business December 31st. By
reference to it you will find a showing
that shows it's strength which has been
acquired by correct business methods
through period of many years. 1t is
the oldest Bank in this part of the
country, and through all its history
has been fortunate in having an able
board of directors, and splendid cler-
ical force to meet the demands at the
counter. At present Mr.. Jno. w.

WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Build a Pike to Greensburg or
CreeIsboro-..The Need Very
apparent.

Since the Green River bridge burned
the people of this section are realizing
where they are. With almost impassi-
BILE roads to Greensburg and Greensboro,
and no way to get freight from Camp
bellsville, great expense and inconven-
fence are being experienced, and as the
Winter progresses the seriousness of
the situation will be more fully real
lied Just how soon the pike will be
restored to its usefulness by the build
ing of bridge or the establishing of a
ferry, no one seems to know, and ac-
cepting the most plausible theory, that
of finding a bridge company with a
structure of right dimensions, it cannot
be built for several months. At any
rate present conditions ought to teach
uf all how important it is for Columbia
and Adair county to have more than
one outlet. From Columbia to Green's
burg it is 10 miles, From Columbia to
Greensboro it is about the same dis
Ftance. The people of both sections are
understood as being anxious to join in
ne building'of pike to Columbia, but
accomplishing the building of either,
i'll require organized effort on the
rt of our most enterprising citizens.
I'VE had good road to Greensboro, it
lld save the people of Adair county

# we had solid road to Green's

18th nothing but the best feeling for
lpbellsville and the company that
ls the pike, Columbia and Adair
1ty ought to see the Importance of
ching a competitive source for
bping, and get out of the present
dation. A pike to Greensboro would
obably be worth more to the county
d to Columbia, than one to Green's
arg. River freight is far less than
abroad. The government will soon
fave the river navigable the entire
Tear, yet we can not reach it. Again
I'VE say, wake up dear people, wake up,

BRAINS BLOWN OUT, BUT RECOVERING.

Big" Christmas gun met with very
dangerous accident. The gun was load

physician replaced the brains, sewed up
the wound and Karnes is now on the

Called to the Passionate Of the
Christian Church at Phoenix,
Arizona.

Rev. l.. Williams, who has been pas
tor of the Christian church in Carroll
ton for several years past, has accepted
a call to the Christian Church at Phoe-
nix, Arizona. This church, we under
stand is the strongest Christian church
in Arizona Territory. Phoenix is the
capital of the territory, and in 1900
had 5, 544 inhabitants. Rev. Williams
should feel it high compliment to be
called to this pastorate. He has al
most become one of us Carrolltonians,
and none of us feel like saying good
bye to him. He has labored long and
well in our community, and made his
impression on our whole people. He
has fought good fight, and will leave
enjoying the love, respect and conf
dence Of all our citizens. But for his
efforts in season and out, the Chris
tian church, which is now one of the
neatest buildings in our community,
would never have been remodled.

Ed. Williams is the son of Ed. z.

votion to his work is well-known here.
We rejoice with his many friends at
this we'll deserved promotion.

PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.

One of the undisputable evidences
that the growth of Columbia, in pop
ulatiOn and in business, has been rather
rapid and substantial is the fact that
the Columbia post Office has been made
Presidential office and the salary of
the post master fixed at LOO This
change is based on the receipts of
the office, and in 1905 only lacked
small amount of getting in. Last
year the receipts measured up to the
full requirements.

AS we understand it the old price of
$1.50 stage fare from Columbia to
Campbellsville has been re-established.
This is not excessive for good accom-.
modations for that distance, but 25
cents canoeage across Green river does
not strike the average person as phil
anthropic, or even remotely related to
that great injunction, ''Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you. ="
The fact is that it appears to be mod
ern financing on the quarter basis. 1t
won't last century.
