The Columbia Stock Market

Adair is evidently good county in
which to buy mules. Stock dealers
have been coming here for years on
County court days, and frequently in
the middle of the week for the purpose
of buying mules. Twenty or twenty
five are purchased and the buyer leaves,
saying that he has ''picked up" all that
were marketable. He will return in
three or four weeks, gather up about
the same number, and so it is year in
and year out. This is also a good mar
ket for fancy horses. many bought and
sold yearly. A good stock market has
much to do with stimulating business,
and the thriftiness of Columbia is due in
a great measure to the horse, mule, cat
tie and hog markets. We have here
local buyers and when farmer brings
any thing of the above lines to town
for sale he does not have to take it
back to his farm.

Judge W. F. 0wsIey's Will.


The Louisville papers of last week
published the last will and testament of
the late Judge w F Owsley, native
OF Cumberland county, but who died at
the home of his son in-law, DIR. H. H
Grant, Louisville. Under the law when
decedent leaves a will it must be
probated, but the provisions of this
paper will not be carried out for this
reason. The will was made in 1900, but
in 1904 or 1905 the heirs, DIR. Grants
wife, w. F. Owsley, Jr, and the child
rem of Mrs. George Baker, grandchild-
rem of the decedent, got together and
by written agreement divided the
estate. Deeds were made and filed and
the whole matter settled.
This agreement will be filed with the
will and there will be no litigation
The reason for this agreement was
that the old gentleman was very feeble
In mind and not capable of making a
will.

The Farmers Institute.

The meeting of the Adair County
Farmers Institute, held last Thursday
and Friday, in the court house, conduct
ed by Messrs W. T. Kane and Geo P.
Rogers, was not as largely attended as
1T should have been. These gentlemen,
who are sent out by the State, are
practical farmers and their lectures
were very interesting and will doubt
less prove profitable to local farmers.
Those who did not attend missed agreat
deal, as they would have gathered ideas
that would have been of lasting bene-
fit The Institute was also addressed
by Gov. j R. Hindman, Judge H. c.
Baker and others.
The object of the institute, as we I'M
derstand, is to lay before the farmers
new ideas in agriculture-show them
how to work their lands, in order that
better results will come from their la
Dor, the very thing that Adair county
farmers need. 1t is nonsensical foolish.
ness for farmers to have to buy seed
each year grown in another State when
they could supply the demand much
easier and cheaper. The farmers OF
Adair county should supply the home
demand with potatoes, cabbage, wheat,
oats, beans, in fact everything grown
upon the farm. Each year the grocery
men of Columbia have to order seec
potatoes and furnish the town with ear
Iy cabbage, and the mills buy the larger
portion of their wheat from home
This should not be the case.
The local farmers could supply the
demand, and we hope they will take in
to consideration these suggestions
and show by their pluck and energy
that Adair county soil can furnish
enough to accommodate home copsump
ton. BY so doing they will profit the N
selves and accommodate the local trade
We will not close this article without
referring to the talks of j. A. English
and K. H. Price on the possibilities Of
Agriculture in Adair county. They are
practical farmers, who know how tt
work and have work done, and at the
same time use their minds to adopt the
best methods and secure the best re-
suits. They told in way calculated te
inspire our farmers, what they had act.

sided. The subject for consideration

ing lived to see the Kentucky river

ing that developed country so much
as the navigation of its streams. He
said that after river was taken over
by the Government to improve,
and having commenced the improve
nent, the Government was obligated to
complete it. He said it was nothing
but equity that the Cumberland river
