Some of our readers make it a
practice TO visit the Minnesota state
fair every year. That exhibition will
be held August 3lst to September
5, 1908, at dates which do not
conflict with our own state fair
at Huron. Those who visit Min
neapolis at that time will find many
attractive places to visit besides the
state fair. One place of great inter,
est to the raiser of grain is the Cham
Der of Commerce. There you will
find one of the grratest grain markets
of the world and a busy day on the
chamber floor is a sight that will in
tercst anyone. The lakes and parks
are being constantly improved and
il you have visited those places In
years past, you will find many new
points of interest this year. Mime
apolis is bound to be, in the near
future, one of the greatest summer re-
sorts of the United States. Millions

OF dollars have been invested in her
park and lake resorts. Another place
OF great interest which should not
be overlooked by anyone visiting the
Twin Cities is the state capitol build
ing at st. Paul. This is said by those
who have travelled extensively to be
the most beautiful state capitol build
ing in the United States, and one OF
the handsomest buildings in the
world. There you will find the
choice marble from every country OF
the world and decorations by the best
Of artists. But we have neither the
power nor space in which to describe
that magnificent structure. The
lover of art will find another attrac.
ton in the art gallery of Mr.. t. b.
Walker, of Minneapolis, who has a
grand collection of genuine paintings
by the masters of the world. This
gentleman is a lover of art and has
made this collection for the pleasure
it affords him. No charge is made
and the visitor is at liberty to remain
as long as he pleases.

The writer is In recelpt OLE iet'ci
from our friend and former towns
man, M. III. Whaley, now of Morrison,
Oklahoma, stating hat their home
had been blessed with a daughter
who arrived Sunday, July 10Th. Both
the mother and child are doing nicely,
and. while his writing is a little
wobbly, showing considerable excite
ment on his part, we believe M. h..
will stand the shock in good shape.
De Srnet friends will all rejoice with
them in this happiness that has come
to their home.
Word was received the past week
that Rev. Henry Preston was married
at Chicago , o q lady from Philadelphia,
Pa, his old home. We have no
particulars of the event except that
the ceremony was performed by
Bishop Mcdowell, assisted by Bishop
Spellmeyer. lhe happy couple are
now in Iowa on a visit to some of MIR.
Preston's friends. The reverend
gentleman evidently intended this as
a surprise for his De Smet friends,
and he succeeded well, too. There
will be a hearty welcome in store for
Nh. Preston and his bride.

The Greensburg Pike.

No cause can progress without earn
est, intense devotion. Christianity
would soon disappear but for it's Jealous
advocates. So it is with every move
looking to the advancement of COM
munity, the development of people
and the lettering of conditions. The
News does not want the Greensburg
pike killed by Indifference. 1t is too
important to this entire community to
be lightly considered and it's advocates
must keep alive it's great worth. The
county has made a liberal proposition,
but none too broad for its own good and
now it must rest on energy, the deter
mination and ability of the people in
the section through which it is to be
built and the business people of Column
bia. It will be fearful mistake to
allow this to fail. Talk it to your
friends, study it yourself and don't al
low it to fall asleep. The road is need
ed. the people are able to build it. 1t
cannot fail to be good investment.

AT THE PARSONAGE.
MIR. Sam F. Barbee and Miss Cora
Pickett Married Thursday Eve.
ming at 7 O'clock.
THE UNION WAS GENERALLY EXPECTED.

Last Thursday evening Mr.. Sam F
Barbee and Miss Cora Pickett drove to
the residence of Rev. A. R. Kasey
where they took the marriage vows in
the presence of a few relatives and
friends. Congratulations followed. This
marriage was not a surprise to the
friends of the contracting parties, ii
being understood that the union was
soon to take place.
Immediately after the ceremony the
happy couple repaired to the home OF
the groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S.
D. Barbee, who live on Campbellsyille
pike just beyond the bridge, and where.
for the present, they will reside. The
groom is an Industrious young man and
is quite popular with his many friends.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Junius Pickett, who reside on
Greensburg street. She, too, is popa-
lar with the young people, and will be
greatly missed by the younger set.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Barbee have
reached twenty years of age. We
trust that their days may be long upon
the earth, and that happiness may at
tend them in all their undertakings.

A terrific fight occurred at Cane
Valley last Sunday forenoon between
Sylvester Murrell and Ruel Hutchinson.
Both parties were brought to Columbia
in the afternoon Sunday by Deputy
Sheriff Clarence Page. While neither
party was seriouly hurt, they were
both considerably cut in the head, the
weapons used being rocks. We ap-
preached Mr.. Murrell in order to learn
what brought about the trouble. but he
refused to talk, and the parties who
came to town with him and Mr.. Hutch
ison said they did not know. They will
be given trials this week. Learner
Johnston was also mixed up in the
difficulty. All the parties were before
Judge Hancock Monday. They were
fined S. each, made friends and left for
their respective homes, all no doubt
sorry that the trouble occurred.

Game Laws.

AS it is a wellknown fact that many
unknowingly violate the Kentucky
game laws, The News gives below the
time it is lawful to shoot game:
Quail, pheasant and wild turkey, from
Nov. Is to Jan 1.
Rabbit, from Nov Is to Sept. Is
Squirrel, from Nov. Is to Feb. 1, also
June Is to Sept. Is.
Duck and geese, from Aug. Is to
April 1.
Woodcock, from June 20 to Feb 1.
Doves from Aug. 1 to Feb 1.
Snipe, at any time.
1t is unlawful to shoot any thrush,
meadow lark, finch, martin, swallow,
woodpecker, red or blue bird, catbird,
or any other song or insectiverous bird
Possession of animal or bird within
prohibited time is evidence of guilt.
You are not allowed to shoot, hunt
or fish on inclosed grounds without
consent of owner. Violators are sub
ject to fine of from SIS to $25.
1t can be seen from the above that
quail. rabbits and squirrels can not be
killed until Nov. 10, and, it is hoped,
that our farmers and others will see
to it that the law is enforced, should
it be violated. Hunters from town,
and many of our country boys, could
in very short time kill all the game
in Adair county, if they were per-
mitted to shoot at any time they
pleased.

Mr.. David Beard, charged with sell
ing liquor, was tried in the Federal
Court at Louisville last week and &C.
quilted. Mr.. Beard is the postmaster
at Cane Valley. this county. The
charge against him grew out of issuing
money orders for parties made payable
to liquor dealers, as we understand
Mr.. w. 7. Elder, who was the post
master at Atichson, Taylor county, was
tried for appropriating post Office money
for his own use, then replacing the
amount. He was convicted, and unless
he is given a new trial he will have to
do some time in government prison.

Have We an Oil Trust Among Us?

In talking few days ago to mer-
chant of Dunnville, learned that the
Standard Oil Company furnished oil to
the merchants of Dunnville, after haul
ing it from Junction City2a distance of
thirty miles, at 81 cents per gallon, de-
livered in their tanks. They then sell
it to their customers at IL cents. Now
in Columbia l do not know what the
merchants pay for it, but / do know
that the people pay 20 cents for it, and
it is not likely that the Standard Oil
Company would charge more for their
oil when they have to haul it only
twenty miles. If the merchants buy it
at 81 cents and sell it for twenty, it is
very extortionate, and if they charge
the merchants here more than they do
at Dunnville, it is something our peo-
pie ought to look into.

of one of its most active, devoted and
lovely members on Wednesday night
at 1920, October Ia, 19O8-the passing
of Miss Mary E. Wilmore, the affec-

M. WSAore. Her death brought great
sorrow to our societies, and while her
presence will be very greatly missed,
we rejoice that she is now a shining
sunbeam in the celestial city of God.
We will not again hear her sweet voice
in this land where sorrow is continuous
~ coming to our homes, but we can go
to her. Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of our
beloved little sister our Society and
Band has lost one of its best members,
one who was dearly loved and whose
death brought grief and distress to
many hearts
2. That we offer our tenderest SYM
pathy to the bereaved parents, brothers
and sisters, knowing that they have
sustained an irreparable loss-a lovely
daughter and an affectionate sister.
8 That this preamble and the resolu-
tons be spread upon the records of our
societies and copy sent to the family
of the deceased.

and Sunbeam Band wear the usual
badge of mourning for 80 days.
