NEW YEAR GREETING.

extend our good Will and wishes
to the many true and loyal
friends and patrons of The News, |
as has been our custom at the
beginning of each new year.
For more than thirteen years The
News has been in existence, and
during that time we have en-
deavored to make it of material
worth to this section of the
State, as we'll as give the current
happenings. In other words it
has been our desire to contribute
to the industrial, moral and ed
vocational advancement, and in
every instance we have espoused
the movement of lettering pub
lie conditions. The town has
grown, business has improved,
and more pride and enthusiasm
evidenced in the management of
Adair county farms. These con-
ditions certainly are not claimed
as the sole result of The News,
but in a fair measure it is re.
sponsible for some of the awak-1
ening influence that has changed
conditions and brought better
results. Our policy from first
issue to this date, has been one
of progress and liberality, and as
long as its present management
exists, will so remain. We are
proud of the advancement made,
during the time our efforts have
been used in newspaper work,
by the people of Columbia and
Adair county. We also feel
proud Of the fact that the most
friendly relationship now exists
between Adair county people and
those of adjoining counties; and
there are no visible lines of sep
aration or evidence to show any
divisions. The people of Adair,
and those of the counties that
touch her borders are the salt of
the earth, so to speak, linked in
to one great family that knows
no friction, and all for the well
fare and advancement of South
ern Kentucky. Throughout this
entire section The News has it's
friends, and in return it hopes to
give as true and loyal service in
the future as in the past. The
editor does not claim any special
merit on his part but credits the
present standing OF The News to
his efficient co-worker and tru-
ly, co-editor, Mr.. ]. E. Murrell,
who can get news items of inter
est out of every wrinkle on the
face Of mankind, and who has
for the last twelve months, beer

tumwa July IA, 1912, aged II years, %
days. She was stricken suddenly with
heart disease and death overlook her
while in her home with her griefstrick-
en- mother and little sister. Although
she had been in poor health for over
a year, she seemed to be gaining a lit
tie and when hope seemed the brightest
she was called to home where there
is neither pain nor sorrow. God needed
another jewel for his crown and called
our darling from us to a higher throne
where all is Joy and bliss and she will
know no more suffering.
She left a home that was happy and
which now is sad and lonely. There Is
a vacant place which cannot be filled.
She will be sadly missed in her home
where everyone's first thought was for
Avis; she will be missed among her
school mates, by her teachers and
from her Sunday school. where she
was loved by all. Her little body was
carried to its last resting place by six
of her hearbroken Sunday school class
All that doctors and loving relatives
and friends could do was done for Avis,
but God saw fit to call her to her heav
emily home. He knows best; his WILL not
ours, be done.
She leaves to mourn her early death
her heartbroken mother, three brothers
and two sisters, and many other rela
tives and friends. The funeral was held
Wednesday, July II, from her home
where scores of friends and relatives
gathered to show their love and esteem
and extend their sympathy to the be-
reaved family. She was laid to rest by
the side of her father who preceded her
five years ago. The flowers were many
and beautiful. silent tokens of the love
all had for Avis-COntributed.
