GET TOGETHER.

Several members of the Columbia
Band are away from home for the
Winter, consequently the boys are not
taking as much interest as usual. This
is not as it should be. All who are in
town should take advantage of every
opportunity to practice and perfect
themselves in the art of music. Spring
will soon be here and with it the absent
members, and by united effort the Co.
lumbia Band can so improve as to make
it the leading organization in Southern
Kentucky. Get together boys and
practice, the citizens of Columbia are
proud of you and stand ready to lend
assistance when need.

IMPROVEMENT OF
THE CUMBERLAND.
Locks and Dams To Be Construct.
ed...A Great Move For
This Section.

The improvem ent of the upper Cum
berland, which is now in progress and
for which an additional appropriation
has just been approved by the National
Congress, is of far more Importance to
the people of Adair county, we think,
than has been apprehended by the ma
jority of our readers. For this reason
we are giving space this week to mat
ter that will somewhat enlighten them
on the subject.
1t is known to many that Lock is
in process of construction that will af-
ford slack water from Burnsides to a
! point some fifteen miles above Rowena.
The shoal at Rowena is the next point
on the river where Lock is called for
by the report of the Civil Engineers
who surveyed the river for the Govern
ment. But it is currently reported that
the next below the one being construct
ed is to be omitted, and that the next
below Rowena is to be constructed with
the funds appropriated by the present
Congress. This means that work will
be begun shortly on Lock somewhere
not far from the town of Greensboro.
Of course, another will be placed not
far from Burksville, and so on down
the stream. When these shall have
been completed, this waterway being
open to navigation by any one who may
seeft to launch boat upon the river,
we shall have the cheapest possible
means of getting to market; and, should
we secure a swifter way of reaching
the market, this will always operate as
a wholesome check on unreasonable
freight rates, which is a matter of the
first Importance
Now, it goes without saying that the
Southern Railway and the l.. C N.
Railway are not operating their lines
in the spirit of charity organizations;
nor is either of them ready to turn over
to the other the immense business of
this district without an effort to retain
a fair share of it. Nor yet would they
be willing to see the tonnage of Adair,
Russell, Clinton and Cumberland float
off down the river to Nashville without
making an effort to catch at least a
part of it for Louisville and Cincinnati.
So, it does not require much sagacity
to perceive that, to test the love of
our rival suitors, Louis and Cincy, we
should set our cap for Nashville.

TAXES AS AN
Investment.
Nothing Else Brings So Large Re.
turns for Money Invested.

King Georges tax on tea is admitted
to have been unjust, and no doubt the
Colonists had ground for the most Wig
orous remonstrance they could make, if
not for the acts of the ''tea party of
Boston harbor; but the incident has
worked harm to the American people
in that it has foatered the notion of its
being virtue to oppose taxes. The
Colonists opposed taxes that were lev
led on them without their consent.
They held, very properly, that taxation
without representation is unjust. Right
minded people of our times, including
women who are property holdery, are
still of this opinion; but the prevalent
sentiment against taxes per Sc, is un-
reasonable, short sighted, and very
harmful. Look at the matter. Re-
consider it fairly.
There is no other money a man pays
out for which he gets so large a return;
and this is true after all due deductions
are made for the misuse of public mon
ey. Take your school tax, for example.
How far would the amount of school
tax paid by the average citizen go TO-
wards employing a tea cher to devote
three or four months in the year to the
education of his children? Or your road
tax. How far would the amount of
road tax the average citizen pays ex-
tend to construct and maintain the
roads he travels? But let one ask him.
self what he gets in return for his
State, County and City taxes. To Sc
cure one in the peaceful possession of
his property and in the pursuit of his
business, he needs the services of a
learned and upright Circuit Judge to-
sgether with all the officers and equip
nnent necessary for the holding of his
Court; he needs the services of a whole
college of learned and upright Judges
who may be ready at any time to re-
viev and correct the decisions of the
local guardian of his legal rights; he
needs the services of a general Magis-
trate whose duty it is to police the
whole State with the assistance of CO.
laborers in every neighborhood in the
Commonwealth; and, before he can
have all of these, he must have sher-
iff to collect taxes far and away be-
yond and besides his own. So much for
his State taxes. And the like may be
said of County and City taxes. Money
paid as taxes becomes the citizens
best investment.

OVER $4,000 FOR EGGS.

The S. H. Grinstead & Co., poultry
dealers purchased during the month of
January, 1880 dozen of eggs. This
includes about 5000 dozen sold them by
Mr.. Sam Lewis. Mr.. Durham, one of
the managers for the Grinstead concern,
tells us that this breaks all records for
January. The Is, $50 dozen eggs means
that about $4,000 was left in Adair
county. The hen is mortgage raiser
and should receive more attention from
our farmers.

A Girl Private Secretary.

The new private secretary to Phila-
adelphia's reform mayer is a slip of q
girl. Her name is Margaret Fosrderer'
her age is only twenty-five, and whe,
she stepped into the position that gen.
orally goes only to diplomats or sstute
male politicians, she was the first VIC
man who ever filled like place in
Pennsylvania.
Besides being very young Miss Foer-
dArer is very pretty, and-take notice
she is not a woman suffragist. She
is the kind of girl who runs TO intelli-
gence without being mannish.
Primarily the position of private
secretary requires tact aud practical
knowledge. Miss Foerde-er's prede-
eessor had these qualities developed so
thoroughly that all of them have step
ped from the So, 900 job in the mayors
Office to positions paying from $4,000
to $4,000 year. When Mayor Weaver
appointed the girl to the place left va
cant by George A. Welsh's rise he said:
"She's got the tact, and she got the
knowledge. She can deal with men.
If she wasn't g,rl l think she might
be mayor some day herself"
