Mr.. Geo. R. Akin, of Sparksville. was
in town a few days ago and reported a
most remarkable play of lightning. He
stated that the bolt struck a telephone
wire on the Rock Lick line and almost
literally burned it up for a distance of
two hundred and fifty yards. Only a
few pieces of the wire were found and
they not more than two or three inches
in length. The telephone posts were
not damaged in the least. He also re-
ported that the farmers in his locality
had tAreshed their wheat and it is of
fine quality and an average turn out.
The corn is looking fine, the whole
earth full of Irish potatoes, sweet po
tatoes growing nicely and no body COM
planning, believing that the Father
above sends the rain and the sunshine
in His own good time and that he
knows the needs of the people.

Lights On.

The people of Columbia were vary
much gratified last Wednesday night
when the electric lights were again
turned on. The proprietors of the plant
have put in new machinery, and every
thing connected with the enterprise is
much better than it has ever been. The
plant, as our readers understand, he's
been removed from the roller mill to a
lot near the square, new buildings erect
ed in which it is installed. More power
was badly needed and that deficiency
having been supplied, we confidently
believe that first-class service will now
be rendered. People who are not TAX
ing lights should at once have their
dwelling and business houses wired.

The Institute.

The Adair County Teachers Institute
was held in Columbia, beginning Mon
day morning August 1st, continuing to
Aug 9Th, 1910, with Prof. Alexander
and Prof. w. ]. Craig, of Bowling
Green, instructors. Prof. J. V. Dud-
ley took charge of the music with Miss
Laura Smith organist. Mrs. j. w.
Walker Secretary, with Miss Estelle
Willis assistant Secretary
The institute was one of the most in
teresting ever held in Adair county, the
instructors being ready at all times to
interest the teachers and visitors with
discussions or addresses. We would es-
pecially mention the lecture given We'd
nesday evening by Prof. Alexander on
Values, and Thursday evening by Prof.
Craig on Education, both of which
measured up to the highest standard
and were very much enjoyed by all
present.
These instructors are teachers in the
Western State Normal School and this
county feels that they have done much
in the way of educating her sons and
daughters in the last few years. We
have had but few men in our midst who
worked with more determination in try
ing to lift those around them to high
er ideal, than did these men The peo-
pie of Adair county should appreciate
their untiring efforts in trying to i'm
press upon the teachers of this county
the responsibility of the child's wasted
time during the six months whether in
school or out of school.
Prof. ]. S. Dickey, of Bowling Green,
was with the teachers for day or two
in the interest of his school, making
some very touching talks and Mr.. j.
Tandy Ellis delighted the audience with
few very select readings which were
enjoyed very much.
A great treat for the institute was
the ''cold ice lemonade made in the
shade and stirred with spade" which
was presented by Messrs Walker Bry-
ant and Gordon Montgomery. Our
worthy Superintendent, Miss Pearl
Hindman put forth every effort to make
the institute pleasant as well as prof
liable one for the teachers of Adair
county. May success always attend
her efforts so well. The contest be-
tween the teachers of Adair county on
the following subjects were won by the
following: Penmanship, Miss Estelle
Willis; Spelling, Ben Jeffries.

We learn from the Louisville market
that grass cattle are coming to the city
freely and they are selling anything
but satisfactory to the shipper. Such
cattle have been declining with the
market regularly ever since the first
of June, and it don't look like the bot
tom has been touched yet. The reason
so many shippers are losing money on
this class of cattle, is that they simply
don't know how much the market has
declined, not only this market but every
market in the country.

why women like the baldheaded
man 1t is somewhat difflcult to define.
II may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
sical. Past the follies and frivolities
OF youth.
Usually successful.
A man Of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one Is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks 80 clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when It

Chicago, Ill.-A threat of the police
to prevent the parade of the strik-
ing garment workers was not car
ried out, and $4,000 men and women
marched through the downtown
streets in the snow. A guard of 1000
police lined the way to prevent riot
ing.
The mercury stood at only few
degrees above zero and the strikers
apparently planned to use the wealth
er to excite sympathy.
Peace apparently took wings when
the settlement plans were rejected,
The strikers declared that since they
had held out this long, they intended
holding out until a closed shop was
granted. This, the manufacturers re-
fuse.
Many Of the strikers are facing
starvation, as the funds are almost
gone.
