Decoration Day.

Memorial or decoration day was OBJ
served at number of points in Adair
county last Tuesday. At Mt. Carmel a
large audience assembled and a number
of patriotic speeches were made, Rev.
B. M. Currie and Mr.. G. P. Smythe, of
this place. being two of the speakers;
and Rev. VIM. Black, of Cane Valley
The music was good and there was
dinner in abundance. There were many
beautiful flowers which were placed
upon the graves of departed heroes and
departed civilians
The crowd who assembled at Bear
Wallow was large, and the day very ap-
propriately observed. There were
speeches and songs and a bouutiful
dinner.
The residents of Columbia met in the
city cemetery at 4 p. m, and after the
graves had been decorated there was
song service and very beautiful ad-
dress by Rev. j. R. Crawford, pastor
of the Prest yterian church. He cited
many instances of the Civil War, the
bitterness it engendered, and the
GROWING elimination of peace. He
read from manuscript, written in most
choice language, delivered in a most
entertaining manner. He referred to
the joy brought about by the signing of
peace papers. and the rapid progress of
the South since hostilities ceased, until
to-day with pride we can boast of the
grandest and most prosperous country,
North. South, East and West in the
world. He took UP Generals 10 Wheel
er and Fitzhue Lee, Confederate Gen.
erals, who distinguished themselves
upon many battle fields, and the pa
triotism they showed for the stars and
stripes when the war with Spain came.
He closed by admonishing his hearers
to live close to God, assuring them that
by so doing a crown in heaven awaited
all those who loved and feared the
lowly Nazarene
The song service for the opening and
closing was led by Rev. d. H. Hover
erton; Master of ceremonies, Governor
j, R. Hindman; benediction, by Ed. z.
7. Williams.

A most beautiful and successful
Children's Day service was observed
at the Union Presbyterian church on
last Sabbath. The program rendered
was exceptionally good for occasions of
its kind and every one taking part re-
Elected great credit on the committee
in charge. Superintendent VIM M.
Wilmore should be proud of his excel
lent working forces. The attendance
reached the high tide for which the
place was famous in other days. While
the dinner for abundance and SUI
perior quality was hardly ever excelled
in that or any other neighborhood. The
Sunday School and church interests at
Union seem to have hopeful future.

Horse Thief Captured.

On Wednesday night of last week a
fine sorrel mare belonging to Mr.. j. R.
Buchanan, who lives near New Market,
was stolen and as Emmett Sturgeon was
seen the previous day in that vicinity
he was at once suspected of having
stolen the valuable horse.
Mr.. Buchanan telephoned to Lebanon
to have circulars printed offering a re.
ward of $25 for the recovery of the
mare and S25 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the theft.
These circulars were sent by mail all
over tho lower end OF the State. Mon
day afternoon he was arrested near AL
bany in Clinton county, not far from
the Tennessee line. He had PISSED
through Columbin and jamestown and
and at the latter place had tried to sell
the mare. His actions appeared sus-
picious and after leaving jamestown he
was seen to cut the telephone wires
The Sheriff of Clinton county was mott
fled and with posse started to meet
Sturgeon.
When Sturgeon saw the officers ap-
preaching he attempted to escape, and
a number of shots were exchanged be-
fore he deserted his horse and hid in a
dense woods. From papers he attempt
ed to destroy, his identy was ascertain
ed.
A warrant had been issued here for
his arrest and the officers at Albany
were notified to hold him. Wednesday
morning Mr.. Jim Benningfeld, of New
Market, left for Albany, to convey to
the officers, the warrant for the arrest
of Sturgeon and to bring the mare
home.
Emmett Sturgeon is bad character
and he and his father George Sturgeon
have been source of great annoyance
to the good people of the New Market
district. Both have often been indicted
and fined and imprisoned. The father
is now under indictment for stealing
timber and Emmett while awaiting trial
on several charges, escaped from Jail
here few weeks ago. He is a brother
of Clarence Sturgeon who was hung in
Louisville few years ago for murder,
having killed three men.-Lebanon Fal-
con.
Mr.. j. R. Perkins, Deputy Sheriff of
Clinton county, in company with Mr..
Benningfeld, reached Columbia late
last Thursday afternoon with the prison
er and stolen mare. Sturgeon was
lodged in Jail, and Friday morning their
journey to Lebanon was resumbed.

Republicans Versus Democrats.

When democrat goes into the polling
place of a Republican primary election
and stated that he Is republican for
the time being, in order to get in vote
for his republican friend or relative to
help defeat some poor deserving fellow
for nomination to office, l want to
say that such democrats, be they few
or many, are not true to their faith
and are engaged in the poorest piece of
business that they ever undertook In
their lives. A republican has got no
business in making democratic nominal
tions, and Democrat has no right to
participate in a republican primary, un-
less provisions are made for them to
vote, and when member of one
political party attempts to take hand
in making the nominations of the oppo-
site party by swearing or stating he
will support the nominees. That man
just simply states falsely, that is if he
is true to the principles of his own
party, and he is willing to take upon
himself the responsibilities of solemn
oath, and disregard it, in order to de,
feat some one whom he does not like.
If am permitted to retain the strong
convictions of the old time faith through
life which now seem to be a part of
my nature, you will observe me in the
place where belong at all times
do not think l shall wish to inter-
fear with the plans of my Democratic
friends, or attempt to have any voice
whatever in making their nominations,
and want to assure a few of them at
least, that they will never have the
pleasure of voting against me in a
republican primary again.
Therefore this is all l shall have to
say concerning the past, and argument
caused me to say this, but if the Lord
is willing for me to remain on earth in
future years, there are some matters
which may receive my attention, that is
if certain things come to pass, and are
made manifest. My leisure time'during
the last two years has been occupied in
taking es'and l have quite volume
of them already for future reference.
