No mention Of Columbia we're

splendid newspaper issued by Editor
Charles :. Harris, and his popular
Associate Editor. Mr.. MurreIl. The
Adair County News is everywhere
conceded TO be one Of the best coun-
try weeklics in the state. Ii has
a nice equipment; the editor owns
his own building, and is a leader in
his community. lie tries 10 give every
man n square deal, and does it, too.
Besides, attending to his paper, Mr..
Harris runs a nice farm near town
where he and his wife and their in

Campbellsville the shipping point
for Columbia, and the back country,
il one OF the Invest little cities we
have seen in long time. The main
business portion of the town was
burned out about a year ago. This
was one Of the best things that
could have happened to the place.
The burned area has been rebuilt
with modern brick business houses,
each with an attractive front, and
all date with their show win
dows and displays. Two good hotels
are found here. one being conducted
by Mr.. J. W. Rice, formerly of Adair
who sees that his guests are always
treated right. Albert Wallace is
another Lincoln county boy. who is
doing we'll in Campbellsville, being
in the undertaking business there.
One of the most prominent lawyers
in that county is ii. S. Robinson.
well known in Lincoln. Mr.. Robin
son. has law library which is one
of the finest to be found in any
small town in the state.
An amusing incident occurred at
the hotel at Campbellsville Friday
night, where Congressman Helm and
we were stopping en- route home. A
Young man who had seen the name
Harvey Helm" on the register,
knocked at the door, and asked us
if Harvey Helm was there. We in
formed him he was, and invited the
visitor ia come in and see him. lie
looked in and glanced at Mr.. Helm
/ and then asked Ia where Harvey
Helm was. We pointed to the Con-
gresham and introduced him as
Harvey Helm of Stanford. but were
informed by the visitor that h.
wanted to see Harvev Helm, of
Montpelier Ga small town in Adair
county, Mr.. Helm was surprised to
learn there was another of the same
name in Adair. and laughingly asked
| the young man ii the other Harvey
Helm looked like him. The visitor
hesitated moment, scanning the
Consressman's couatenance rather
closely. il seemed. and then replied :
"Well. no: don't think he looks
much like you. He's pretty good
looking fellow
Congressman Helm says that he
intends to seek reciprocal relations
at once with the other Harvey Helm.
and will rely on him to carry the
Montpelier section for him this fall.
The biggest man Adair county has
produced in a long time Is Jim Gar
nett, now the able Attorney General
of Kentucky, ut Frankfort. Mr..
Garnett is favorite son of this
county, which has produced 50 many
brilliant men. and is upholding well
the honor of his section. Adair is
always for him for anything he
wants, and he's going to find n
mighty big portion of Kentucky that
way next time he makes race. His
friends bclieve that he will prove
the strongest man the democrats
can name the next time they nomi-
nate for governor. and il they do,
he will undoubtedly find not only
Adair, but the whole Eighth district,
solidly behind him.
There is mighty little Roosevelt
talk among the republicans of Adair
county, aud the delegates to be
chosen at the republican county con-
vention there on April 9th will be in
structed for Taft by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Senator Bradley is
shooting a vast amount of Taft lit
erature into the counties where there
are many republican officeholders.
