The Pike from Here to Green COun'
ty Line.

The people of Adair county now have
an opportunity to take part in an en-
terprise that will be of lasting benefit
to the whole citizenship, build up the
county, making the route from here to
a railroad station shorter, thereby cur
failing expenses in every line of trans
portation. This pike will create COM
petition. the same as two stores, two
mills or two enterprises of any charac-
ter. Competition is what makes bust
ness. We want to see Adair county
get in the swim, and we believe this
pike will be the means of putting her
on the high road to prosperity.
1t will be seen from the order of the
Fiscal Court which follows that some
thing like ten thousand dollars will
have to be subscribed in stock and when
the sum of ten thousand dollars has
been raised by the people the Fiscal
Court will take stock to the amount
of $4,000. Can the stock be raised? We
believe that it can and that it will only
be very short time until the certainty
of the pike can be announced.
We only have about seven and one
half miles to build, and many believe
that less than fifteen thousand dollars
will do the work. The bridge across
Russell's creek will not cost exceed
ing $500, and in our judgment the
road will enhance the value of property,
not only along the line, but through
out the county.
This will be toll pike but the rate
will be lower than most pixies charge.
Is the pike from here to Campbellsville
paying? Less see. In 1905 it declared
dividend of IL per cent; in 1906 it de-
clared a dividend of Is per cent; in
1907 it declared a dividend of 6 per
cent after building a SIS, 900 bridge across
Green river. Will the stock in this
pike pay? We believe it will, and we
want to see several energetic men
start at once to raise it.
The pike from Greensburg to the
Adair county line will be completed to
the Ebineezer church by Christmas.
The following is the order of the
Fiscal Court of Adair County:
In order to secure a good turnpike
road from Columbia to the Green county
line at point to intersect the Green's
burg pike, be it
Resolved, That. when bona fde sub
scriptions have been made for at least
two thirds of the stock necessary to
build and complete said pike in good
first-class condition from Columbia to
the Green county line, with bridge
over Russell's creek, then the county
Judge is authorized to subscribe for
one third of the stock necessary to
build and complete said pike a
bridge provided the total amount of
stock necessary shall not exceed SIS, 600
and the amount so subscribed for by
Adair Court shall not exceed $1,000.
This is in lieu of all subscription to be
made by Adair county.

The Christmastide Lesson.

The Christmastde celebrates the
birth festival of our Lord. The in
carnation of Christ is the central
thought in the history of the world
His birth has exalted the poetry, the
music and the art of the centuries. 1t
has changed all social customs and re-
ligious rituals. Il has given a new
glory to human life and Il new trend
to eternity. This is the time when all
bitterness should be forgotten, all fam
lily feuds reconciled and all life glori-
fed. God grant that the day may
speedily come when the song of the
angels celebrating the birth of the
Christ may find its fulfllment through
OFT the whole world
Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will toward men,
