The Old DeeStriCt ScheWI.

The people of Columbia and vicinity
had the pleasure last Friday evening of
witnessing 1.-THE Old Deestrict Schewl"
which was given at the courthouse
under the management of Miss Jennette
Clark. There were about thirty in the
Schewl, ranging in ages from forty-five
to seventy, but they represented child
rem from six to sixteen. The whole
play was amusing from start to finish
and it was very much enjoyed by the
many who were present. The court
room was well-filled, and the receipts of
the evening were fifty-four dollars and
seventy cents. Much credit is due Miss
Clark for getting up this very amusing
entertainment. The acting was to per-
lection and the costums were beyond
the clouds.

The Reason.

Merchants throughout Adair county
perhaps do not understand why business
houses from q distance sell so many
goods by mail. 1t is very easily ex-
planned. Mail order houses are constant
ly sending out attractive advertise
ments, giving their prices, claiming
that their goods are first-class in every
particular. The prices look good to the
consumer and an order is forwarded.
Now the merchants of Columbia and
Adair county sell better goods and
cheaper goods than can be received
from any mail order house, but they
must tell the people in order to COM
pete with the foreigner. The Adair
county News is read by every rep
resentative family in all this country.

One of the most delightful events Of
the season, was the Leap Year Ban
quet, given by the young ladies of Co
lumbia on Thanksgiving night at the
Hancock Hotel.
The invitations, which were writer
in verse, were quite unique and very
original The girls carried out the
"leap year" idea and called for the
young men at theier homes at the ap.
pointed hour in automobiles, acting
very successfully the ''gallants'
throughout the evening.
The parlors and hall were tastefully
decorated in holly and mistletoe and at
a late hour the guests repaired to the
Dining room, which was very artistic
ally arranged, the color scheme green
and red predominating. The table was
lighted by candelabras holding red and
green candles. The place-cards were
miniature hand-painted turkeys.
An elaborate six course menu was
served, and with each course an appro-
pirate toast was given by the different
young ladies, in very charming man.

were:
Misses Jones, Myers, Elliott, Shan
non, Rowe, Holiday, Hancock, Butler,

Gov. Hindman and
His Hunting Pants

That men must pass through fiery
trials was recently demonstrated by
one of our townsmen. A short time ago
Gov. j. r. Hindman conceived the idea
of having some extra warm pantaloons
made for the purpose of fox hunting
He went to store and bought splen-
did fieeced lined bed blanket, had his
measure taken and the pantaloons made
out of the blanket, it being doubled. In
other words it was blanket outside and
inside with the broad stripes up each
leg. The first hunt thereafter was on
cool night and the Governor was as
warm as his imagination could picture,
but after the fox was full under way
and the hounds making the woods ring,
his feet became cool and, therefore, a
fire was built-a good roaring one. For
getting the tendency Of his beautiful
pantaloons to fire, he approached close
to the blaze, but some of his associates
in the chase warned him of the danger.
Within few seconds he had caught
and was contending with the blaze that
was rapidly climbing up his stripes, but
the aid, quick and strong. of Messrs.
Price, Tarter and Bailey extinguished
it. They stepped short distance away
to better hear the Emusic" leaving the
Governor to enjoy the heat. when
suddenly the second alarm was turn
ed in and the entire fire brigage rush.
ed to the scene of trouble. The blue
blazes were twisting all around his
newly made trousers and going up al
most in leaps and bounds, but again
they were overcome without a schorch to
the Governor. His trousers, however,
losttheir fleece and beauty and the Gov
ernor lost confidence in them, so much
so that he will never use them again.
The fact is, as we understand, it was
an exciting double experience and
demonstrated too fully the Governor S
original idea that f1eeced lined blankets
would make hot pantaloons.
