DEATH FOLLOWS
APoPLExY
Samuel A. Jones, WeII.KnOWn Trav.
cling Man Dies in Louisville
Thursday Morning.
HE WAS A NATIVE OF HART COUNTY

Mr.. Samuel A. Jones, who had trav-
eled out Of Louisville for the past twen-
ty-five years, and who was well-known
in Columbia, died at the Gait House in
that city last Thursday morning at
o'clock. He was stricken with apoplexy
the Sunday before and never regained
consciousness.
Few travelling men in Kentucky were
better known than Sam Jones. He has
travelled out of Louisville for more than
twenty years, having represented sew
eral of the big wholesale grocery
houses. Several years ago he became
associated with Charles w. White,
president of the Louisville Coffey Com
pany, and together they established
that concern. The company's head
quarters are located on Sixth street,
between Main and Market streets.
Mr.. Jones was forty five years of age
and was native of Hart county. He
came to Louisville when quite young
man, and had lived there continuously
since He was member of the we'll
known Jones family of Hart county,
which sent number of its representa-
tives to Louisville, all of them becom-
ing prominent business men. Sam P.
Jones, president of the Commercial
Bank and Trust Company; Gideon G..
Jones and Charles W. Jones, of the
Jones Vinegar Company, are consins,
while c. P. Jones, who is in the gro
Gerry business at Twelfth and Delaware
streets, is brother. His mother, Mrs.
Albert Jones, lives in Hart county,
while Berry Jones, another brother, is
prominent business man of Munford-
vile.

For Union Revival.

1t has been suggested by some Of the
interested church workers that the ap-
preaching Hendrix and Carter meetings
advertised for the Presbyterian church
should be union meeting enlisting all
of the local churches. There is no
known reason why this should not be
done.
These Evangelists are accustomed to
conducting such meetings in much
larger communities than our own. They
have had remarkably good success
everywhere. Preaching an earnest,
simple and direct gospel message they
soon win their way to the hearts of
the people.
Mr.. Hendrix is the preacher of the
combination and an exceptionally inter-
esting one. Not profound but full of
the gospel of hope and good cheer. He
abounds in manliness and sunshine un-
til he has been styled the Sunshine
Evangelist.
Mr.. Carter in one of the best known
gospel singers of today. He sings with
great power and effectiveness and is a
splendid organizer of the singers of the
community. He uses the Winona
Hymns, one of the latest and best COL
lections for revival purposes. Should
the plan for union meeting seem best
for our town, then should every Christ
ian man and woman get busy, for much
careful preparation shonld be made.
God gives his blessings as we are in
readiness for them. Certainly, with
the beautiful fellowship existing among
our churches there should come a CO.
operation in service that will bear a
rich harvest of souls. Let the matter
be freely discussed and such a conclu.
sior reached as shall honor the Master
and strengthen His Kingdom in our
midst j. Russell Crawford.

Voted in Seventeen Presidential
Elections.

Mr.. A. H. Marshall, of Campbells-
vile, made his regular trip to Columbia
last Friday. A News man engaged him
in conversation Saturday morning, and
our talk drifted to his father, j. A.
Marshall, who makes his home with his
son and who is now eighty-six years
old. "Father is in reasonably good
health for one carrying the weight of SO
many years" said Mr.. Marshall. 'He
takes great interest in politics, and
has voted in seventeen Presidential con-
tests, voting the Democratic ticket
every time" The old gentleman is a
man for whom every body has the ut
most respect. He has been a devout
Methodist since early manhood, and
has been a Jealous Mason for more
than half century.

Opening Week Postponed Until
Week Of April 5th to 10th
Inclusive.

At the request of quite a number
Mfg's who are very anxious to make
displays and demonstrations of their
various lines during the opening week
announcement of which was made in the
News last week for March 18th, but
not being able to make necessary prep
arations at this time, The Buchanan
Lyon Co. Inc. Campbellsville, KY, have
decided to postpone their opening week
until April 5th to 10th inclusive, at
which time they expect to have every
thing in fine shape for one of the grand
est displays and demonstrations on
every line they carry that was ever
made in Central KY. See their ''ad'' in
this paper every week which will ex-
plain fully the inducements they offer
their friends and patrons in this and
adjoining counties to attend this open
ing. They are certainly making every
effort to make this banner week and
it will certainly pay you to make an
effort to attend if for only one day.
Don't forget the date, April 5 to 10
inclusive.

Tuesday, the End day of this month,
Mr.. Matthew Armstrong, who was
well-known in Columbia, died at his
late home, on Crocus, in Cumberland
county. just over the Adair line. The
deceased was between sixty-fve and
seventy years old, and had been a
victim of infammatory rheumtism for
many years, but the immediate cause
of his death was pneumonia. He was a
very tall, well proportional man, and
on public day was readily recognized,
head land shoulders above every body
else. His coffin was made in this town,
it being Z feet inches long. He was a
Federal soldier during the war. serving
in the 18th Kentucky cavalry. He is
survived by number of children, his
wife having died several years ago.

will greatly miss him.

Graded School Case.

Hon. ]. w. futile, special Judge of
the Adair Circuit court, in the case of
Trustees of Columbia Graded Common
School against Town of Columbia, &C.,
who heard the case on demurrers some
time since, has delivered written
opinion upon the question raised by the
demurrers. The effect of this opinion
is that the election upon the question
of establishing and maintaining the
graded school was regular and valid,
and that the school has been thereby
established.
Further, that the plaintiffs were cleo
ted and are the trustees of said school
and as such have the right to the pos
session, use and control of the common
school property in the Graded school
district, including the common school
house and lot in district No. 20, and
that the trustees of the town of Colum.
bia hold only the naked legal title to
the property in trust for common school
purposes, and have no beneficial inter-
est therein.
That the Trustees of the graded
scnool are entitled to have the same
sold and the proceeds applied to the
purposes of the Graded school.
The court sustains the demurrers of
of the plaintiffs to each of the para
graphs of defendants answers and
counterclaim, in effect holding that the
defendants have not by their pleadings
presented any defense to the plaintiff s
action or shown any cause why the
election is not valid and the school es-
tablished.
Upon further hearing of the case the
parties may be PERMITTED to amend
their pleadings and raise other issues,
but so far as questions have been raised
the trustees appear to be fully sustain
ed by the opinion of the court.
The opinion is quite lengthy, showing
careful and comprehensive consideration
of the questions presented and passed
upon.
