Reached Jeff too Late.

The following item appeared in the
Louisville Evening Post last Thurs
day:
T W. Dowell, of Adair county. KY,
arrived in the city last night, and was
in consultation this morning with Pros
ecutor George C. Kopp and Capt. Mike
Wall, Chief of Police, in the effort to
find some way of furnishing Albert Ed
wards for running off with the formers
daughter, Miss Theresa Dowell, to
whom Edwards was married in Jeffer-
shortly before noon yesterday,
by Magistrate Oscar Hay An affida-
Wit was made by Carl Dawson that the
girl was nineteen, but her father says
she is ''going on fifteen. He would
like to make charge against Dawson
Of perjury, but was informed that the
principals to the marriage would be
equally guilty with Dawson, as each
made affidavit to sin. liar effect. MIR.
Dowell said he did not know Dawson,
but thought he was some fellow the
others had picked up for the purpose of
making the affidavit. If he could find
him in Kentucky he could make
charge against him of enticing female
from her home, it was stated at police
station
Dawson was supposed to have &C.
companied the girl and Edwards from
their home when the license was issued
yesterday, and his word was taken as
sufficient backing for the statement of
the girl. The father, when he discov-
er the couple had eloped, notified the
Louisville police, but apparently did
not think of JeffersonYille, and word
concerning the pair came after they had
been married. Mr. Doweli said he did
not know where the couple went after
their marriage.

The Everlasting Light.

| We would like to mention more in
detail the Christmas Cantata given at
the Methodist church by the choir and
others Dec Goth in order that those of
the general public who were not there
may have some idea of the unusually
fine music treat they missed. We are
the more pleased to mention it again
since we have been able to get pro-
gram of the evening from Miss Crock
EFT, and also since we have some
reason to hope we may have the
pleasure of listening to another one of
these delightful cantatas Easter.
This was about the finest combina-
ton of choruses, quartettes, duets and
solos ever presented to the people of
Columbia in the way of singing. wheth-
er secular or sacred. 1t was under the
direction of Misses Crockett and Mil
liken. Organist and choir director at the
Methodist church. The singers were
Miss Milliken, Miss Crockett, Mrs.
Rosenfield and Mrs. Russell, sopranos;
Mrs. Wilson, Misses Myrtle Myres,
Elsie Coy and Ollie Crockett, altos;
Messrs. Montgomery. Vance and Null
link, tenors; Messrs. Flowers. Moss,
Barger, bassOs; organist, Miss Alice
Walker.
The program was about as follows:
No. Introduction. organ voluntary.
No. 2" Break forth into joy" BASS
solo and chorus.
No. 3"He shall feed His Flock Quar-
tette by Misses Milliken and Ollie
Crockett, Messrs Moss and Flowers.
No " The People That Walked in
Darkness Soprano solo and chorus
for women's voices.
No 'Thy Light is Come - Chorus.
Nos Bethlehem Soprano solo by
Miss Milliken with chorus accompai-
ment.
No. Hail to the Lords Amounted"
--chorus.
No. THE Virgins Lullaby Con-
traltO solo by Mrs. Wilson with quar-
tette accompaniment.
No. Groom in My Heart for Thee"
Soprano and alto duet by Misses
Crockett and Milliken.
Nc. 10 IA leluia"- Final chorus.
Of these there were two especially
beautiful, the solo by Mrs. Wilson and
the soprano solo with women's voices.
All the others ranged so close up to
these, tho that it is almost an injustice
to select any one or two numbers and
say they were best. Miss Crockett and
Miss Milliken deserve great credit for
their perseverance in getting up so fine
and appropriate program of music at
{ at the happiest of all seasons of the
year, Christmas They request US in
| these columns to thank all those outside
their own choir, who assisted them in
the singing, and especially to thank
Miss Alice Walker, who did her part
| so well as organist.

Run Over by an Automobile.

Richard Hubbard. who lives near
Cane Valley, this county, was in Louis
vile last week to sell his tobacco In
crossing the street at Fifth and Jeffer-

thought that he was dangerously hurt,
but later developments proved that he
was only slightly inju.ed. Judge Wal
ter P. Lincoln was driving the machine
and he was the first person to reach
the injured man, and helped to assist
him to the hospital. Mr. Hubbard will

Attendance At Graded School.

Below is given the names of eighty
pupi of the Graded School, who have
not missed day of the four months
ending December 22nd, since enrolled.
We have about as many more, whose
names are here given, that have missed
only one or two days The average
daily attendance of the school this year
is greater than last year. The enroll
ment will be greater this year than last
We are striving hard to have regular
attendance and good work from our
pupils and our efforts are meeting with
flattering success. We urge the parents
to see that their children are present
every day, for every day that pupil
misses is handicap to him 1t makes
work harder and finally causes loss of
interest
The first month of the new year be-
gan with several new pupils, and the
prospects are that the attendance this
month will be the best of any month of
the school thus far. We thank you for
the splendid cooperation you are CIV
ing, and ask that it continue.
