At the Parsonage.

Last Monday forenoon Mr.. R. I. Par
rot, of Campbellsville, and Miss Sarah
Tandy, of Bliss, drove to the Methodist
parsonage, in this place, and were
married by Rev. A. R. Kasey.
The marriage was evidently sur
prise to the BRIDES parents, as Miss
Sarah spent Sunday night with
Miss Alice Murrell, who lives a few
miles east of town. When Miss Tandy
reached Columbia Monday morning she
was met by her intended husband, and
an agreement was soon reached to visit
the parsonage and have the rites solem-
nized. Soon after the ceremony the
couple left for Campbellsville.
The groom is popular young man
and is employed in the Mantz Roller
Mill in his home town. The bride is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. R. L. Tandy.
and is one of Adair county's best young
women.
The News extends it's best wishes,
trusting that happiness will attend Mr..
and Mrs. PARROT all along the journey
of life.

Highly Appreciated.

We highly appreciate the interest and
service of the many correspondents
who help to make The News paper of
interest to the people of Adair and adj
joining counties. Some of them have
been identified with it so long that their
failure to get in good newsy letter
would be keenly felt by those particu-
larly interested in the community from
which they write. We are otter re-
minded of the good service our cores
pondents are giving and rarely ever
hear of a criticism which is evidence
that the great bulk of the people ap-
preciate the service rendered. Within
the last year only two complaints
against our large list of news gatherers
have reached this office and we now
call attention to the most serious one,
that of reporting that which did not
occur and in some reports of showing
prejudice and disproval when such re-
ports should not be clouded. The cor
respondent who cannot confine his re-
ports to facts, or who cannot give the
happenings without evidence of bias is
not needed nor wanted and when such
reports have been received will be in
vestigated, and, if found true, will be
discharged. We want full and fair re-
ports. Each correspondent stands to
his community as The News does to
this entire part of the state. Your
position is responsible one, one in
which you can accomplish good for
your section and we trust that each and
every one highly regards it. Give the
happenings that should be published,
especially the good, and stear clear of
political and religious controversies.
The News is seeking to accomplish
good, to awaken hope and ambition and
to give fair and honests reports. No
correspondent not in sympathy with its
work or who is so narrow and preju-
diced as to misrepreseut must give
placeto one who will give the unvarnish-
ed truth.

Bad Accident.

Last Wednesday night Mr.. Thos Bry-
ant reached Columbin from Campbells-
vile, having team, his wagon loaded
with fertilizer. In defending the hill
from the square, leading out the James
town road, his horses became blinded,
it is supposed, by the large electric arc
light, and from the further fact the
lines got crossed, and Mr.. Bryant
could not manage them. The horses
went down the hill at rapid gait, and
just before reaching the bridge, turned,
the wagon running into the deep cut,
throwing the animals against the Adult
ment. One of the horses was instantly
killed and the other one considerably
hurt. Mr.. Bryant was not injured. 1t
was very good horse that was killed.

MIR. BECKHAM'S REMARKABLE
LETTER.

We have received from Mr.. Ed
ward Beckham, OF Philadelphia, a
truly remarkable letter. Mr.. Beck
ham is thoroughly identified with
the white race and his structures are
at times severe. He INDUCES in
language that would be considered
insulting were 1t not for the earnest
ness with which he drives home
many OF the truths that his truly
remarkable letter contains. He is
evidently worried over the outlook
and he sees dire disaster ahead for
the Negroes of this country unless
some eloquent colored man, with the
oratorical ability and wisdom of the
late Frederick Douglass rises up and
breaches a new crusade in behalf of
the rights and privileges of this en-
franchised people.
MIR. Beckham has laid down prem
ises that are defective. He evident
~ has consulted the speeches OF the
Negro-haters in the United States
Senate perhaps, rather than the
United States statistics upon this all
important question. When nv
BecKham presumes to state that
white men in the Southland clotbe
and feed the Negroes and their fami-
Hes he is sadly in error. from the
TACT that labor creates all wealth
