Adair County Should Wake Up.

The people of Green county are busy
at work on the pike from Greensburg
to the Adair county line, and at the
progress now being made they will
complete their contract during the Sum-
mer and Fall. Adair county will only
have about seven miles to build to meet
this road, and no time should be lost in
arranging to begin the work. The Fis-
cal Court has already made an appro-
priation of So, 500 for this work, and
considerable sum, as we understand,
has been individually subscribed, and
what has not been subscribed win
have to be raised. 1t is an enterprise
in which our people should feel a deep
interest, and we trust. that num-
Der of live men will at once get to
business. A pike from here to Green's
burg would not only be feeder to Co.
lumbia, but would help the county
generally. Adair's part of the road can
be build without hurting the county or
the individuals who subscribe to it, but
if we fail to act we will be the losers.
Talk the pike and get to business.

Only a Cat.

Last week some Drummer, or some
body else, lost a beautiful grey kitten
at or near the residence of MIR. J. N
Murrell, and while the cat is of great
use and has q value not estimated, yet
Mr.. Murrell is perfectly willing for the
owner to call at an early day and take
back the lost or strayed to its home.
Whether or not this maltese creeped
from sample case of the Knight of
the Grip or was lost in the ordinary
way of transportation on the Stanford
road is unknown, but it's rightful
owner should call and receive it.

ing its new quarters and does not ap-

Valley. Rev. VIM. Dudgeon performing
the ceremony. Early in the afternoon
Mr.. Sullivan and Miss Young, in COM
pany with other young people, drove

long courtship, and while the union was
surprise at the time it occurred, it
was generally predicted that it was a
coming event.

wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan, trust
ing that their plighted love will grow
stronger; that prosperity may be theirs,
and that they may live to a good old
age.

The School Law.

The article in the Adair County News
from Judge Baker on the New Nthool
Law, has discouraged some of the citi-
zens who have led the fight for the
College here, some have not taken it so
seriously. While there are few lawyers
who are more esteemed by the people
as Judge and lawyer than he, yet
there has been opinions by other dis
tinguished attorneys differing from him
and the Court of Appeals, will perhaps
have to pass upon the questions which
have arisen from this law before any
construction of it is accepted by the
people. Should majority concur with
Judge Baker in his construction of the
law, the Legislature might perhaps be
prevailed upon to repeal or amend the
Objectionable features of the law in such
way as to bring about the deserved
results. Or it might be that other
changes might be made so as to remedy
the wrong. Don't let us give up the
project, but go ahead and surmount the
difficulties. -Greensburg Record.
We learn from Judge Baker that he
sent copy of his recent article in re-
gard to the establishment of a graded
and High School to the Superintendent
of Public instruction, and asked if such
school as was proposed would meet
the demands of the law. In answer the
Superintendent says:
81 have your favor of June 3Oth, with
inclosure for which thank you. This
article is timely, and your school will
meet the purposes of the law"
Judge Baker in his article said the
county could not avail itself of either
of the private schools at present estab-
ished here, as they were each under
UNCONVENTIONAL control. He rests this
statement on Sec. 100 of the State Con-
stitution which reads:
mo portion of any fund or tax now
existing, or that may hereafter be
raised or levied for educational pur-
poses shall be appropriated to- or used
by, or in aid of any church sectarian
or UNCONVENTIONAL school,. -

There is only one little patch of this
in the county-on Damron creek, where
within the area of the Clinton a maxi
mum thickness of 1870 feet of it is
exposed in the immediate vicinity of
the creek under the more Clifty Clin-
ton. 1t is composed of shaly limestone,
purer limestone whitish in color, and
some shale. When thin bedded the
limestone are often sandy and ripple
marked and suncracked showing that
they were laid down along the flood
plains of some vast stream near its
mouth; which stream was subject to
periods of inundation alternating with
very low water stages. 1t was during
these low water stages that the sun
dried the limy and sandy muds and
cracked them; the next inundation fill
ed in the cracks and covered the ripple
marks with mud which did not unite
with the previous formed layer and
hence preserved it intact with all its
surface markings.
