Graded School Opens.

8 Columbia's much talked of Graded
ASchool opened auspiciously Monday
morning. The old M. and F. College
hill swarmed with pupils at an early
hour and they continued to come until
by the time of the opening exercises
the space provided by the school board
was already at premium. All the
members of the board and many pat
rons of the school were present to wit
ness the launching of an enterprise
which promises much for the commune
tvs future welfare.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. j. r. Crawford followed by an
address congratulating the community
and pupils on the future possibilities of
the school. He was followed by Mrs.
Georgia Shelton and Messrs. Lowe and
English, members of the school board,
all expressing their interest and best
wishes for the new undertaking. Su-
perintendent, w. M. Wilson, then
made an interesting talk in which he
outlined something of the work and
scope of the school. He closed by in
Producing the members of his faculty,
al being present excepting the LIST as
sistant, who has been detained for a
few days on account of illness.
Mrs. Sophia Gibson, Lexington, KY,
a teacher of some years successful ex-
perience, is to be in charge of the 1st
and End grades. Miss Arrelda Roberts,
Verona, KY, will have the 3rd and 4th
grades and the teacher yet to come,
with Supt. Wilson, will have charge of
the remaining grades. The faculty has
been carefully assembled from ex-
perienced material that have already
proven efficient in their chosen field.
The prospects for a successful year
seem bright. One hundred and twenty
six pupils were at the opening and this
would indicate that the enrolment will
reach the hundred and fifty mark for
the first term. The earnest purpose of
the schools Board of Trustees and
faculty to give to the community a
echool of merit should challenge the
Earliest support of every lover of
Education. The school has come to
stay and it should be a pride of the
county.

The many inquiries for small farms
in this section, is good indication for
better methods of production and to
our mind will eventually make Adair
county produce what it is capable of
yielding, The large farm, without
capital, often proves a burden rather
than a profit while the small farm is
improved and gives in return fair
dividened after all expenses have been
paid. Occasionally there is necessity
for a farm of more than the average
in size, but such is an exception and
usually measures its returns by the
skill and management of its owner. A
few acres we'll prepared, thoroughly
cultivated, with the weak spots streng-
thened each season, will give far better
results than double the number on the
haphazard plan. The evidence of bet
ter farming, of smaller landed estates,
is becoming more pronounced every
year. In a country like this no man
can hope to become wealthy purely by
farming but every one has within his
reach of energies a good living and a
moderate bank account besides. There
is plenty of room in Southern Kenturky
for three times the present number of
good farmers, and it will be blessing
when such an increase in the productive
powers of our country becomes reali-
ty. Buy small farms, and the best
machinery, build up instead of wear out
and you will add to the happiness and
wealth of mankind

Retiring Pastors.

Rev. A. r. Kasey, who has been the
pastor of the Methodist Church, this
place. for the past four years, deliver
ed his parting sermon to large con-
gregation last Sunday forenoon. We
do not believe that we state it too
strongly when we say that he is the
most popular preacher who ever had
charge of the Methodist Church here
He is man of ability. strong force
full speaker, and in social converse, a
gentleman whose company is sought.
He has done grand work at Columbia
built a church house and has been the
means of doubling the membership of
his congregation. That such a man
will be missed goes without our saying
NOT only by his own flock, but by the
entire community. At the closing SER
vice there were special songs, rendered
in a very inspiring manner. This week
Rev. Kasey will be with the Church at
Tabor.
Sunday evening Rev L. T. Reeves,
pastor of the Baptist Church, preached
his farewell sermon to an immense au-
dience. The Church building was filled
to its capacity, in testimony of the es-
TEEN in which the retiring pastor is
held here. His text was 81 shall be
Satisfied when I Awake in His Like
nessv IT. WAS nathatica1lv w0rdad
discourse, very entertaining, the speak
er being given the closest attention
throughout. Mr.. Reeves is very much
liked here, and his departure will be felt
not only by his Church, but by all those
who had the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance. He has only been the pastor
here for few months, the death of a
brother necessitating his resignation.

Ru SSeIl Kinnaird Dead.

Last Thursday morning, at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart
Kinnaird, near Nell, this county, the
subject of this notice peacefully closed
his eyes in death. He was about %
years old and was known to a great
many residents of Columbia, he having
often visited here. He was a nephew
of Mr.. ]. o. Russell and a brother of
Mrs. James Menzies. He was a very
polite young man, one who had many
friends. The funeral and interment

and friends being present. He was a
victim of stomach trouble and was sick
several months.

Amateur Burglars.

Burglars entered the post-office at
Monticello on the night of the 18th and
undertook to blow the safe with nitro
glycerine. Entry was made by break
ing window, and tools stolen from a
blacksmith shop were found lying be-
side the safe. The charge of glycerine
was too light, and only resulted in
slight damage to the building, and fail
ed to- start the door. The miscreants
evidently became scared and gave up
the job. Bloodhounds have been sent
for and will be put on the trail to-day.
The job is evidently Ope of amateurs,
as no drilling tools were used.

Rev. T. L. Hulse, who is the Presid-
ing Elder of this district, will likely
not be changed by the Louisville Con-
ference which will convene at Hender-
son next week. He is a very able
divine and the people of the district
do not want him removed. We do not
know Rev. Hulse's feeling in the mat
ter, but as himself and family are very
much liked here, we trust that they
will not be required to remove their
residence.

Two little boys of this place got into
a difficulty on the square one day last
week and one of them received severe
lick on the head. Neither one of the
boys have reached their 10th year, and it
is not often that kids of such tender age
hurt each other, even if they do scrap
occasionally. We were sorry to learn
of the result of this mixup, and hope
that the little fellows have made friends
and have resolved to never again turn a
play into fight.

busiest period is seed time and harvest.
Of the two the harvest day, ordinarily,

Mr.. Caleb Powers delivered his lee
ture, Fright upon the Scaffold and
Wrong upon the Throne" last Monday
to an audience of about two thousand.

the hardships endured by Mr.. Powers
during his long confinement in prison.

is largely the favorite of the Republi-

will have a strong following in this end
