Highly Enjoyable.

The people of Columbia were delight
fully entertained at the court house
last Thursday evening. 1t was the
holiday entertainment given by the
smaller pupils of the Graded school,
children from six to fourteen years old,
sixty or seventy in number. all of whom
were on the spot with their nerve. 1t
is remarkable to see so many children
appear upon the stage, single and in
groups, apparently without the least
embarrassment The court house was
crowded with friends of the school, and
to face such an audience, older persons
often tremble, fearing a mistake, but
upon this occasion every boy and girl
was on to his or her job, each part
being played and spoken to perfection.
not an error being made during the en-
tire evening.
1t was certainly gratifying to the
many parents to see their children act
so perfectly, and 1t was certainly pleas
ing to the teachers who trained them.
The Indian play "Hiawatha, was the
last on the program, and it proved
great hit. The following were the
charact RS:
Hiawatha, Alvin Lewis; Nohomis,
Nellie Tarter; Iagoo, Count Suits;
Wah- wah taysee, Margaret Lovett;
Pau-pah- Keewiss, Sindey Dunbar; Chi
blabos, Fl enry Hancock Opeechee
(Robin,) Marvin Sinclair; Owaissa
(Blue-bird, Rollin English; Adjidaumo
Squirrel, Joe Long; Wabasso (Rab-
bit,) William Thompson Four scenes
were represented, Hiawatha's Infancy,
his Childhood, his Hunting and Hunting
feast.
Every child who was in the entertain
ment deserve special mention, but as
there were so many, and our space
being limited, a general notice will
have to suffice.

Last Tuesday evening the rrusic pu-
pills of Miss Ethel Lee Hatcher, assist
ed by the expression pupils of Miss

in the Lindsay Wilson chapel. The en-

before the beginning of the program.
and those who attended felt fully re-
paid for each number given was well
rendered and heartily applauded Misses
Hatcher and Milliken sang ''Till we
meet again., the accompaniment
being played by Miss Annie Hodges
The Bird song given by Miss Mills
ken was indeed treat to all music
lovers Each one of the young ladies
did splendidly and easily convinced the
patrons and friends that they had been
carefully trained and that quite good
deal of work was required in memoriz-
ing of the difficult numbers given by
music pupils as well as expression
Thanks are due Misses Hatcher and

for a very enjoyable evening and here's

Killing in White Oak.

1t is impossible to get the particulars
of killing which occurred in the White
Oak precinct last Sunday afternoon.
The statement that reached this Office
is about as follows:
A son of Mr.. George Order and four
or five other boys were in barn drink
ing. There was pistol in the crowd
and suddenly it was discharged, killing
young Order, no one knowing who fired
it. Another report is that Order was
purposely shot by one of his compan-
ions. The coroner, DIR. C. M. Russell,
County Attorney, Gordon Montgomery,
were notified to come and hold an in
quest, and they left Monday morning.
The Jury in the case stated in its
verdict that young Order came to his
death by the accidental discharge of a
pistol in the hands of John Order. The
proof showed that the boy who was
killed and the one who fired the shot,
were not drinking, and that they. were
cousins and the best of friends.

To My Friends.

At the beginning of the New Year
it affords me much pleasure to announce
to my many true and substantial Gus
toners who have favored me with so
much of their business during the past
year, that l will remain with the same
old reliable firm, who have been in the
wholesale grocery business in the city
of Louisville for 81 years, and if any
firm in the State of Kentucky is in a
position to take great care of the wants
of their customers, it certainly is the
firm of Otter & Co., and / am very
glad indeed to state that I will repre-
sent them in Adair and adjoining coun-
ties during the year 1911, and will APP
preciate liberal share of your bus
mess in the future as have done in the
past. and for the same, | will promise
to do my best in every way possible, to
give entire satisfaction to all.
Wishing you all very prosperous
and happy New Year,
am very truly,

Death of An Old Citizen.


The end came to long and useful
life last Sunday night about 8 o'clock
when Rev. Solomon Nichols died at the
home of his son in law, Mr.. Geo. Garri-
son, near town. The deceased was about
eighty-six years old, and had been a
local Methodist preacher for more than
half century. He perhaps officiated
during his life at more funerals and
marriages than any other man in all
this country.
He was kind, unassuming old gen.
tleman, had a good word for every per-
son he met, every body having implicit
confidence in his honesty. He was a
man who proved his religion by his
daily walk, and his passing brought
sorrow to many hearts.
The funeral took place at the res
idence at three o'clock Monday after
noon. conducted by Rev. B. M. Currie,
and the interment was on the farm.
Peace to his memory.

Bridge at NeatsviIIe.

An effort is now on foot to secure
money, by subscription, to aid in build
ing bridge across Green river at
Neatsville Two petitions are being
circulated in the upper end of the
county, and people are subscribing to
the enterprise literally. Mr. S. H
Newbold, of Louisville, has sent in a
subscription of fifty dollars and Mr..
VIM. Hobson, manager of the Kentucky
Single Tree and Spoke Company, has
subscribed seventy-five dollars. Many
others are giving according to their ca
pacity to pay. The building of this
bridge would enhance the trade of Co
lumbia very materially. and some en-
terprising man should start petition
here. We believe that if liberal sum
is secured by subscription, the Fiscal
Court will do the rest. Think of the
advantages to be derived from bridge
across Green river at the point men
toned, and subscribe to the fund. 1t
can be built if a united effort is inaugu-
rated. 1t is not often that the enter
prising people of Adair fail when they
go after public improvements, and this
project, we believe, can be carried to a
successful termination if we will all pull
together. Give us good roads and
more bridges and our county will pros
per as never before Talk the bridge
and give something to aid in securing
it.
