The News from it's beginning

The News from it's beginning,
has taken the initiative in near
ly every proposition that has
been agitated for the advance
ment of this part of the State.
1t has not failed to point out
what appeared to it the line of
public action looking for the adj
vancement of Columbia, and the
welfare Of Adair county in par
ticular. Up to date it has re-
joiced in the successful termina-
ton of many propositions that
have added much to the material
interests Of both town and coun-
ty, and it has likewise seen some
of it's most cherished hopes
placed on the cooling board Of in
difference, or considered imprac-
tical by the people whose inter-
ests it has so earnestly espoused.
Just now this town and this
county should consider several
propositions that have heretofore
been presented, and which must
be adjusted by the people, or
permit a long period of depress-
ion to wipe out the advantages
heretofore gained. The News
does not attempt to be prophetic,
but il any man can see a bright
future in inactivity and monde
velopment of our resources, then
the News is blind to conditions.
The last few years have been a
period Of activity, and our COM
munity has out done all others in
Southern Kentucky. We have
built bridges, improved our pub
lie roads, and have taken steps
to build two important macadam
roads that mean much for the
county. Columbia seized the OPP
portunity to secure one of the
best schools in the State, and to
drive awaHsHbef slumbers that
paralyzed the usefulness Of an
othe rys To-day we have two
The Adair County news., 1908-01-08

schools full and overfowing, as
it were, and the population and
value of property doubled within
the last five years. Look over
the town, view the county, fig
ure efforts and results, and come
out through our columns with
your conclusions. The News
tenders it's space, or a reason
able portion Of it, to any public
spirited citizen who is not con-
tent with the shadow that dark
ems our j m m e late future.
While we are here to aid, as best
we can, yet it is not our desire
nor our purpose to continually
insist on certain lines that seem
good to us. We must all prosper
together, or suffer the same COM
mon fate. It appears. however,
that something must be did,"
or something will do itself.
Think about a stitch in time.

entirely new stunt nthe dazed 4, 900
spectators who were witnessing the
ruthless treatment OF their pets.
McGraw began this assault on bad
ball by yanlSing Dummy Taylor OF
the batting order and substituting
MerlSle. In that eighth inning Mer-
kle, even after he scored, was still In
the game untl1 such a time as his
successor should be sent to the bat
or 10 the rubber. Naturally Il was
expected II there was another chance
for Merkle to bat in the round, he
would be allowed TO try 1t again, al
though there was no particular reas-
son to believe that such an exlgency
would arise. But II did, and that's
where McGra wsprang his new stunt
Instead of sending MerSle to bat a
second time. he sent In Herzog to
bat for him, thus. establishing a pre-
edent OF having a man that had bat
ted for another man having a man
bat for him. making the score reads
''Merkle batted for Taylor in the
eighth; Herzog batter for Taylor in
the eighth.
