ton of the Methodist church.
The young lldies undertook the
decoration and lacked some of
paying whole amount. Every
body will feel interested to help
them in this worthy enterprise.
Al Martin is the store-keeper

off the current events that
transpire in the neighborhood
and rehearsed by the gossipers
and loafers that congregate
about the store. Those who
have seen it played elsewhere
say it is remarkably good.

Diversified Crops.

There is no doubt but what

making mistakes in the past by
failing to diversity their crops.

lieve that you can taze a farm
that raises 800 bales of cotton,
sell that cotton at l2! cents per
pound, seed at 25 cents per bus
hel, then buy your feed stufs,
ETC., it would be bad farming in
the end. If our farmers would

THE SUBSTITUTE

For days Dolly Langston had
been ,cooped up IN the house, as
though she were but "a prisoner,
although she had the privilege of
the library. and was served at
meal time just as the Other, mem
bers of the family.
John Langston, banker. and
master of, men, had set out to
compel his daughter to give up
J her love for Dwight !. Emmett,
who, though the son of wealthy
parents, seemed to have Inherit
ed little inclination for making
money and alarge incliuation for
making merry.
1t was no little surprise to the
girl when her father came home
one evening and Immediately

you must hurry"
Glad of even this chance to get
outside the house, and hopeful
that she might catch a glimpse of
the man she loved, Dolly hasten
ed her preparations.
In a short time the machine ar
rived and the two walked to the
street. CHANGING at the Chauf

scrambling to his feet. But be-

shot from him like bullet and he
could only shake his fist at the
driver, who looked back, and even
the goggled face seemed to be

chauffeur by the arm, but he paid

Death at Greensburs.

Mr.. E. B. Leachman. who was known
to great many Columbians, who was
a prominent citizen of Green county
died in the suburbs of Greensburg last
Saturday morning. He had been in de
clining health for several months, but
his death was sudden and shock to
the whole community. He had one
daughter, Miss Leontine, in the Lind
sey- Wilson, and his daughter, Miss
Brownie Leachman, was visiting here
when her father was taken seriously
i'll. The two daughters were notified,
and they left for his bedside at once,
but the end came before they reached
home. Everybody here is in sympathy
with the surviving members of the
family, especially with the two daugh-
tiers, who are great favorites here
The deceased was a gentleman of
high character, prominent in the affairs
of Green county, and his passing has
made the world poorer, bringing heart
felt sorrow to a loving wife, devoted
children and to many friends. May
that peace that passeth all understand.

wish of this paper.

ETHEL SUFFER-
Whe Was the Beloved Wife OF Rev.
J. ". Weldon, Died in this
7 Place Last Thursday at
1890 O'clock.
REMAINS CARRIED TO HARDIN COUNTY

The residents of Columbia were
shocked and the deepest sadness spread
over the entire community last Thurs
day, just after the noon hour, when it
became known that the subject of this
writing was dead, the end having come
at 1890 o'clock, p. m
About ten days before the messenger
came Mrs. Weldon became the mother
of girl baby. 1t was most generally
believed that she was doing nicely until
the first of last week. and on Tuesday
her condition became alarming, and
Wednesday night physicians and friends
gave up all hope. She died happily in
the presence of her father and mother,
husband and number of friends.
The deceased maiden name was
Ethel Suffer and she was born and
reared at Stephensburg, Harden county,
ten miles from Elizabethtown. In
September, 1910, she was happily mar
ried to Rev. j. W. Weldon, and short
time after marriage she and her hus-
band went to Montana, where the lat
ter had charge of Church for one
year. In 1911 Rev. Weldon was trans
ferred to the Louisville Conference,
and last September he was assigned to
the Church at this place. His work
here has been crowned with success,
more than sixty additions to the congre-
cation in the short time he has been the
pastor.
The most trying hour, however, of his
life has come, the removal of his young
wife by death. She was lady of most
excellent christian character, gentle in
manners and most lovable in DISPOSE
ton, and her taking was distressing to
her many lady friends of C,olumbib who
had learned, in a short time to loke her
and who delighted to be scom-
pany.
There is the tenderest sympathy felt
here for the husband, the father, moth
er and all other relatives.
The little babe that came to bless the
home, will never know mothers love,
but if it survives it can be taught the
many Christian virtues possessed by
the departed patent, @nd when It's
Esprit takes it fight, it will know the
mother in the CELESTIAL city beyond the
skies.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church Friday morning at
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. W. F. Ho'
gard, assisted by all the local pastor:
and at the close the family started with
the remains to Hardin county. The
church was filled beyond its seating ca
pacity with sympathizing friends
There were many floral designs.

you hear uneducated men saying that

could increase the attendance, if they
would devote much of their time to
