Failed TO Contract.

The Fiscal Court met last Thursday
to receive bids for building the bridge
across Russell's creek at the Birk ford.
Mr.. Spain was here, representing the
Champion Bridge Company, and he sub
mitted bid of $1,000. Another gen.
tIeman, who represented some other
company was here, but he did not sub.
NIT proposition. A proposition, by
letter, was received from another CON-
pany, the bid being less than two
Thousand. The Court retired and con-
suited few minutes, afterwhich mo-
ton prevailed rejecting all bids for the
present. We take it that the County
Judge and County Attorney will make
thorough investigation, and at an early
day. the contract will be let.

A New Railway Project.

Tennessee capitalists, mainly resi-
dents of Gallatin and neighboring towns
have secured charter for an electric
railway from Gallatin to Stanford Oh
Somerset, KY.
The projectors are said to have beer
at work on the enterprise for severa
months and to have as many as foul
routes under consider alton for the road,
which is designated in its charter as the
Cumberland Valley & Interstate Rail.
way. In the final selection they will be
guided largely by the amount of popu-
lar interest that is manifested in the
territory affected.
The road is projected through Sec
tion of Kentucky that is greatly in
need of better transportation facilities.
In the area between Gallatin and Stan
ford there is block of eight Kentucky
counties, all of which are without rail-
roads. These are Monroe, Metcalfe.
Cumberland, Wayne, Clinton, Adair,
Russell and Casey. Any road built
from Gallatin to Somerset or Stanford
would be likely to penetrate at least
two, and probably more, of these coun-
ties. They embrace country that is
rich in diversified resources and that
presents an inviting field for the invest
ment of capital. In no other section of
the State is there so large territory
inconvenientIy situated with respect to
railroad facilities. There have been
numerous efforts heretofore to induce
the building of railroads into this re-
gion. but none of the ambitious projects
set on foot has made material progress.
1t is scarcely possible that the devel-
opment of this inviting area can be de-
layed many years longer. The move
ment in Tennessee is inspired by men
who know the possibilities of the coun-
try through which it is proposed to
build the road audit is to be hoped their
enterprise will be more fortunate than
those which have gone before.-Couri-
er-J Journal.
There may be something in this pro-
ject, hence it would not be out of place
for the people of Adair county to get
busy.

A. c. Ronald, Clerk,
By Henry F. Cassin.

On Wednesday April II, 1911, at the
home of Mr.. and Mr.. Julian Long, Mr..
Owen Mckinley and Miss Stella, their
eldest daughter, were happily married
at 2:30 p. m. in the presence of rela-
tives and friends, by Rev. D. T. Tarter,
in his most solemn and impressive man.
ner The BRIDE was handsomely gown
ed in white silk and wore a brides veil
with orange blossoms, and was indeed
very beautiful. Miss Pearl Murray, of
Sewellton, bridesmaid, and cousin of
the bride, was gowned in an up-to date
manner forming a most beautiful and
charming personality, while the groom
and best man, Mr.. Ivle Woodbridge,
We're gayly attaired to suit the events
of the occasion.
Miss Long is charming young lady
and having wide circle of friends,
was quite popular among the young
people of this community. She will be
greatly missed The groom is a sober
young man of sterling character and
worth, and prosperous farmer.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by
MIR. Woodbridge and Miss Murray, left
for Russell Springs, the home of the
groom's parents, where repast was
served and to receive parental blessing.
May their lives be long and happily
spent together, and no difficulties arise
to mar their happiness or blight their
future, is the wish of the writer. X

Side Walks.

Is the city council of Columbia
not going to extend the concrete
sidewalks within the town limits2
The citizens residing on the turnpike
beyond the bridge which spans Russell's
creek, are of the opinion that such need
ed and important improvements should
not be discontinued so long as they
have not Jared like the citizens living
on the three other main thoroughfares
of the town. On jamestown street,
Greensburg street and Burksville
street, concrete sidewalks have been
built to the town limits, but on Camp
bellsville street the citizens have not
been so fortunate. After a long time,
and with much imploring and begging,
the late board of Trustees did finally
pass an ordinance requiring a side walk
built by the property owners as far out
as the Russell creek bridge, which has
been complied with, and for which we
people on that end are thankful, but
are those citizens owning property be
yond the bridge on the exempt" list?
If they are not, why should they not be
required to build sidewalks just like the
ones living on this side of the bridge
toward town? We invite the members
of the new council to walk out that way
some time when the roads are muddy
and see what we have to contend with
in getting to our homes, and if after
investigation they feel we should not
have any sidewalks, very well, but if
they thinS we should have them, an ex-
tension to the town limits is all we ask.
There is another sidewalk that ought to
be built in the town. 1t would be a
credit to Columbia, as well as to Indi-
dictate the progressiveness and public
spirit of the city council. That walk
should begin at the intersection of the
Campbellsville turnpike and the street
leading to the Lindsey-Wilso school,
and extend up to the school building
We ask consideration on these needed
improvements.

Important Notice.
April, 18th, 1912

April, 18th, 1872
To the Citizens of the Town of Columbia
The time has come for every citizel
to see after his premises. The healtl
of the people is the greatest blessing
to every community. The health o.
the people is promoted by looking aftel
the little things. A clean town is al
ways healthy town. In perfectly
clean town, there are no flies or mos
quitoes. If there are no flies or mos
quitoes, there is no sickness of the
kind spread by these pests. Malarial
troubles are spread altogether by mos
quitoes. Typhoid fever and consump-
ton are spread largely by the house fly.
If the people will begin in time, begin
now, the house fly Can be prevented
from breeding.
Screening the houses is the beginning
of safety. Keep the manure from &C
cumlating in the stables. If it is haul
ed out and scatterd over the ground ev-
cry week, there is no danger. Do this,
or sprinkle little coal oil over the heaps
every day. In this way you will stop
the flies from breeding, and save your
selves and your horses from a great
deal of unnecessary annoyance. Keep
the flies out of your privies, either by
screening the vaults, or by covering the
contents with lime, or ashes or fresh
earth every day.
These things are little troublesome,
but it pays in the long run. Then, be
sure and keep your rain barrels covered
so that mosquitoes cannot lay their eggs
in water. The eggs Of mosquitoes when
Matched are wiggletails, and wiggle-
tails when developed are mosquitoes.
You should not only keep your rain bar
rels covered, but have no tin cans or
other vessels lying around catching
water, and giving the mosquitoes a
place for laying their eggs. The old
fashioned ''shak in ager" has been
nearly entirely eliminated.
You see none of it these days. This
is the result of the war that has been
waged against the mosquitoes. By a
conference with the Board of health,
and the Board of town trustees, Sat-
urday the q, day of April has been set
apart as a general cleaning up day,
when every citizen is expected and d.
rected to clean his premises. Let the
filth be put into barrels or boxes, and
placed on the streets where the wagons
which will be furnished by the town can
get them and haul them away. Every
old lumber pile in state of decay must
be removed. No paper hereafter must
be thrown into the streets or on the
public square.
U. L. Taylor, Health Officer of Adair
county, W. R. Myres, Mayor of the
town.
