GAce the opening Of the Lindsey
Wilson Training School, mere than six
years ago, the most prosperous
months have been from the first Of jan
uary until the close of the term. The
management is making an effort to

provements have been made con the

ed. furnishing ample room for all who
viii come, and the main building is
heated with steam, making it the most
comfortable institution in South Eastern
Kentucky. The principals, Messrs Neil
son and Moss, are assisted by a COM
petent corps of teachers, teachers who
are experienced, and the discipline is
perfect. 1t is a most excellent school
for boys, young men and young ladies,

NUMBER 4
Railroad Prospects.

Mr.. Mansfield, one of the firm of a
construction company located, at India
napolis, reached Columbia last week
according to appointment and went
over the route from here to Green's
bnrg, the objective point, in company
with W. R. Myers, N. M. Tut and T.
R. Stults. He was well pleased with
the country traversed and thought the
route feasable for either a Trolley line
or steam road. He was well pleased
wieh Columbia and her surroundinds.
and was surprised at the amount Of
business transacted annually and the
amount of freight received and depart
ed from the town each year.
He was convinced that we needed
quicker transportation and said that
road could be built from here to Green's
burg, and that his company would un-
dertake the contract if the people
along the line would show friendly
disposition by taking stock. When
asked what he thought Adair county
would have to do in order to secure
the road, he said stock to the amount
of $50, 600 would secure it. The matter
has been discussed about town, and it
is the opinion of financiers that $4,000
can be raised by subscription. So at
this time the prospects for a road is
good if the people will do their part.
The amount the people will subscribe
will not be donation but will be pre-
ferred stock. After looking over the
situation at Greensburg, Mr. Mansfield
left for indianapolis where he will
make up estimates and report to the
people here in about ten days. When
his report reaches Columbia a full
statement of the situation will be
made.
