ton to the News, says: We have had a
very mild winter, but little snow. We
are living in the country. l bought
twenty-f five acres of timber, made 1900
railroad ties; have about 10000 feet of
lumber and 200 cords of mine props;
have sold part of them. get 81. rs per
cord for props, so cents for ties, $35 90
per thousand for lumber. You see
timber is worth something here. l
paid $40. 100 per acre for the timber. We
are glad when Thursday comes. On
that day we get the News and it is like
a letter from home. We are all well.

A BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE.

Prof. P. D. Nelson may well pride in
the beauty and convenience of his new
Stefsife that now adorns the LiI.sey-
Wilson Hill and which has bee,N under
course of construction for the las, three
months, the finishing touches vlaving
been given last week.
The residence was designed according
to Mrs. Nelson's taste-distinct
from any other cottage in Columbia,
but the mechanical part was the work
of Mr.. j. w. Richards, one of Colum
bias most skilled carpenters-a man
who knows where every nail should go,
how every joint should be made and
who is able and willing to mearure up
to the true demands of a drawing. The
house contains seven rooms besides all
necessary closets, bath room and pan
try, it has an unusual porch frontage,
of various angles, which adds material
ly to its attractiveness as we'll as to its
convenience and worth. In every par
ticular the workmanship, of high class
carpentering is demonstrated and stands
to the credit of Mr.. Richards. The fin
ishing touches, from the hand that
yields the brush and brings beauty to
the surface, are those of Wr. 10 A.
Young, who knows his business and
keeps eHetlastingly at it. There is not
a bettela constructed building in Column
bia, and not one that outrivals it on fin
isha rf,onu1aent' to the carpenter. a
fgwer to the painter and desirable
home for the owner.

Hon. Geo. Nell, who has been bask-
ing in the sunshine and drenching in the
sea breezes on the coasts of Florida,
for weeks. has ventured to the interior
of the state where he will spend large
part of his time on the banks of the
bubbling brooks and plucking the deli
cious fruits of that locality. He has
not forgotten many of his friends in
this section and The News is one re-
membered with a large, delicious pine
apple, which is accepted in the same
spirit as prompted its giving. MIR. Nell
is getting along nicely and when the
chilly blasts of winter are over and our
eli ate becomes Floridaized we hope to
see him back in the old home town, i'm
proved in health and happiness.

JOHN B. MONT
GOMERY DEAD.
He Was a Native of Columbia and
WeII.KnOWn Throughout
Adair Comfy.
END CAME LAST SATURDAY MORNING.

The Louisville Times of last Saturday
afternoon contained the announcement
of the death of Mr.. John B. Montgom-
cry which occurred in the hospital in
that city at $50 a. m.
He was admitted to the hospital on
Thursday and rapidly grew worse until
the end came, being afflicted with
complication of diseases.
The deceased was born and reared in
Columbia, his lineage being as good as
Kentucky blood makes, and it was gen.
orally known that he took much pride
in the stock from which he sprung.
His father, Nathan Montgomery, was
prominent in the affairs of this county.
His mother was Winston, sister of
DR.. Dudley Winston, who had State
reputation as a physician. He died in
Nashville many years ago.
The subject of this writing was fifty
eight years old the 18th of last Septem-
ber.. He removed his family, wife and
daughter, to Louisville about six years
ago. He was man of iron nerve, and
was as true to friend as is the needle
to the pole. He was man of decided
convictions and expressed his opinions
freely, and on &C ,ount of this particu-
lar characteristic, he was generally
known over the State.
Like all the flesh, he had his faults.
but his good traits of character made
him many friends, who will regret to
learn of his death.
He leaves wife and daughter, who
are in Mississippi, one brother, T. w.
Montgomery, in this county, and three
sisters in different States.
Peace to his memory.

TWO MULES KILLED.

Last Saturday about the noon hour
Mr.. w. L. Walker, of this place, lost
two valuable mules by lightning. They
were in barn on Mr.. Walkers farm
with two other mules, and what seems
remarkable the mules were in stalls
and the ones that were killed were in
the middle. The stall of one of the
animals was next to the side of the
barn that was struck, and it was not
hurt.

Mr.. T. R. PRICE DEAD.

Last Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, Mr.. T. R. Price. whose home
was on the Glasgow road, three miles
from Columbia, died, having been af-
fiicted for quite number of years, but
only confined to his bed two or three
weeks. He was in his Goth year, and
had been consistent smember of the
Methodist Church since early manhood
About four weeks ago the companion
of his bosom departed this life, and
from the date of her demise the hus-
bands health rapidly gave way until
the end came. His three children. Ru-
fus, W.T.. Price and Mrs Wood Pax
ton were with him in the last days of
his affection, doing every thirg in their
power calculated to afford relief.
The deceased was born and reared in
Adair county, and was member of a
large family Of brothers and sisters,
Mr.. John R Price, of Bowling Green.
Mrs. Tom Coffey, of Nell, and Mrs.
Coleman Finn, of near Midtown, being
three of the number.
When the war broke out he espoused
the cause Of the Union and enlisted
in the 18th Kentucky Infantry, Hob
sons regiment, serving with Gov.
Hindman. G. A. Kemp, William and
Josh Butler and many other Adair coun-
ty boys. AS soldier he was true to
his co)ors; as cevilian, he was an up
right citizen.
The funeral services were held at
Union Thursday forenoon at 10 o'clock,
conducted by Rev. w. H. C. Sandidge,

MAGDALENA BAY. Lower Calf,
On Board U. s. S. Kansas. March 30.
This afternoon had long talk
with Admiral Charles S. Sperry, who
has been selected by the President
to take this Fleet to Australia and
Japan, and back to the Atlantic
Coast. He will be the commander
in-chief succeeding Admiral Evans;
to be exact, he will succeed Admiral
Thomas. who retires In October, and
who has an interregnum OF six or
eight weeks between the abdication
of Evans and the accession OF Sperry.
The interview was held in the Adj
miral's cabin on the U. S. s. Ala
bama. flagship of the fourth divi-
sion, of which Sperry is now COM
mander.

when we started on this cruise, that
you were very i'll, and that this would
probably be your last sea duty"
A quizzlcal. somewhat cynical
smile ove:spread the Admiral's face.
"In the summer OF 1905. when
was member of the General Board
In Washington" he replied. 81 one
day contracted severe toothache,
which spread over my face and made
me both unpresentable and unhappy

he kept me ON my mettle."
The Admiral certainly did not
have the appearance of sick man.
A healthy and handsome tan was on
his face: his eyes. flashed DIR! humor.
and again sparkling intelligence.
His form was upright, spare, and his
walk, when he later went on deck
was possessed OF the springy alert
ness of one who has spent his life on
the ladders of warships.
Off Two Days in China
THAT other time wnen I was on
duty" continued the Admiral, was
on the China station some years ago,
when I was commander of the New
Orleans. One day ! contracted a Sc

executive officer, ! took to my bed for
two days and downed the cold. With
those two exceptions have never

He then became reminiscent and
gave glimpse of what vigorous
successful naval officer must do fol
half a century II he wishes to affair
supreme command.
