Have you ever thought how
rapid would be the growth of
Columbia and what great i'm
provements would take place on
the farms in this county if a rail-
road was built to this little city
The fact is that the spirit Of en-
terprise is manifested in every
section of the county and year by
year improvements are being
made regardless o f costs and
disadvantages. but i f shipping
facilities were only what the av-
erage railroad gives, the develop
ment would surprise the most en-
thusiastic. Within the last few
years land values have nearly
doubled while no improvement
has been made for marketing
products. Columbia likewise has
kept up with the average town,
even surprising many railroad
towns, in substantial improve
ments and yet the same old way
of gettingZin and out remains.
If the people Of Columbia, and
Adair county had the advant-
ages of a good railroad the next
ten years would advance values
and bring developments both in
town and county that would I'M
press this entire part of the State.
Just now we have hope that a
road may be built and believe
that the people of this section
will gladly give the encourage
ment necessary. Too long we
have been Indifferent to our own
advancement. w e have been
too we'll contented with our sur
roundings. The time of unrest
has come, the ambition of the
people are demanding better
things and under such conditions
we ought to move forward and
build the road now under consid-
aration

Obituary.

Oh 4NON' 4, 1OOO, CI1O OOdCIl all
gel visited the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. N. Coffey and claimed
for its victim their loving daugh-
ter, Laura, age 16 years 2 months
and 3 days. She had been dread
fully afflicted for several years,
and all that loving hands, friends
and physicians could do was done
but to no avail. She was very
bright and the idol Of her parents
heart. But weep not dear par
ents for Gods Will is done not
ours, and sheis around Gods eter-
nal throne reckoning father and
mother to come on and share with
her, the eternal joys of chat
bright world.
Then we sadly say:
We miss thee, Oh! we miss thee
We miss our darling's face,
No matter who is present
There is none to fill her place.
One of sweet affection
One we love so dear
Was loved by all connection
And all who knew thee here.
We miss thee, yes we miss thee
At morning noon and night
We miss thee here and everywhere
Thy sunny face so bright.
We miss the silvery prattle
When evenings hours have come
And long for thy dear presence
To cheer our lonely home.
We miss thee, yes we miss the
But in heaven thou art at rest
No angel there is brighter
Among the pure and blest.
No sounds of sweet laughter
Or angels pure and fair
Are found in the hereafter
Than our Laura who is there.
So grieve not father and mother
In heaven where all is well
She comes with the first to greet us
With joys their tongues to tell
Of joys more pure in heaven
Of love the Savior told
And how the angels hearken
To the lamb within the fold.
So we must spare our darling
To God and angels fair
No soul more fit for heaven
Than our Laura who is there.
She was laid to rest in the fam
lily graveyard at Mt. Pleasant.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. G. r. Abrel in the pres
ence of a large number of friends
and relatives. Her gresrest joy
was singing. She had been singing
almost all her Life, but she has
ceased to sing in this world and
is now singing with the angels
on Gods etern ais shore.
