AN OLD CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY.
Mr.. Henry N. Smythe, Peacefully
Crosses Over The Dark
River OF Death.
A HIGHLY RESPECTED OLD MAN.

The life of Mr.. Mr.. Henry N. Smythe,
which had been honorable from his
youth to old age, came to an end last
Thursday morning at O'Clock He
was born in Whitley county, KY, May
ID, 1928. and became citizen of Colum-
bia forty eight years ago. During all
these years he never removed from his
hrst location, and until recently he was
remarkably. healthy man, contented
with his wife and children about him, to
whom at all times he was perfectly de-
voted. Many years ago he made a
profession of his faith in Christ, united
with the Baptist Church, and was con.
sistent until the final dissolution. An
honable and highly respected life for
more than a eighty-three years is a
priceless heritage to leave the compan-
ion of his bosom and his loving children.
He was very proud of his children,
and it was very gratifying to him to
know that he lived to see them all edu-
Gated, able to care for themselves.
He was perhaps known to as many
people in Adair county as any other one
man, and the intelligence of his passing
will be received with sadness through
out the county.
Religious services were conducted at
the residence Friday morning at 10
o'clock, by Rev. d. H. Howerton, pas
tor of the Baptist Church, and the in
torment was in the city cemetery. A
great many friends were in attendance.
Having long since made preparation
to meet his God, and knowing that his
sons and daughters were able to care
for themselves and their, mother, the
deceased could have truthfully said:
Il would not live Away,
| ask not to stay"

WILL SHOW UP SOUTH.
Southern Railway Will Make an At
tractive Exhibit.

The Southern Railway will make
an attractive exhibit showing the ag-
ricultural, forest and mineral re-
sources and manufactured products
Of the Southeast at the Appalachian
exposition, to be held at Knoxville,
September II to, October /, 1911.
This exhibit will contain handsome
displays of cereals, cotton, tobacco,
legumes, vegetables and fruits, and
especial attention will be given to
forest products and manufactured
specimens of woods. The exhibit will
show in a comprehensive way Che
possibilities and advantages OF the
Southeastern States and should prove
a powerful advertisement for the Sec
tion as large numbers of visitors are
expected at the exposition from points
outside the Southeast.
At the same time the exhibit will
serve the very useful purpose Of call
ing the attention of the people of
the South to the great opportunities
which exist in their own country. This
is feature which the management OF
the Southern Railway considers OF
the highest Importance. as nothing
can have a more powerful effect In
discouraging emigration from the
South to less favored sections than
a thorough knowledge Of the South
and the many reasons which make
this the best section Of the country
in which to live and prosper.
