ness of e Hours.
KNOWN TO A GREAT MANY COLUMBIANs

DR.. Jackman was born in or near
Greensboro, in Russell county, Ken
lucky, April 2, 1874; and there he lived
the greater part of long and most
useful life. In the capacity of practic-
ing physician. be was well known
throughout several counties in all of
which he will long be remembered, both
as the attentive doctor and the kind
friend. The passing generation and the
one now in its prime will alike mourn
the death of one of those whom no one
was more esteemed by those who knew
him.
For many years Mason, the funer-
al services were conducted under the
auspices of that order, and the remains
inferred in Elida cemetery.
The deceased is survived by widow
and 3 sons, all of whom were present
at his death. To the survivors, his
friends extend the hand of sympathy,
parting in silent understanding.
There is no Death, what seems so is
transition,
This life of mortal breath,
Is but suburb of the elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"

The Light Plant.

The people of Columbia were very
much gratifed last Friday night when
the electric lights again come on after
the town had been in darkness for six
weeks. Messrs Ballard & Murrell, the
owners of the plant, sent the dynamo
to Louisville where it remained under
the care of a skilled electrician for one
month. When it was returned it was
the means of furnishing stronger and
brighter lights than at any time in the
past. 1t is an admitted fact that Co.
lumbia can not we'll get along without
an electric light plant, and it is also
the general opinion of this community
that every family who is able should
support the enterprise. The proprie-
tors have been at considerable expense
and they are soon to make a greater
outlay Of money in building an electric
house in which to keep, the plant, and
they should be met with prompt and
substantial encouragement. We hope
that those who are not taking lights
will apply for them at once. 1t is an
enterprise that must be supported, an
enterprise that the business men and
citizenship generally can not do with
out.
