Spirited Rivalry.

For the last quarter the Columbia
Baptist Sunday School has been an
active body, and as result, the at
tendance has almost doubled, and the
interest still growing.
Besides having a most popular and
active superintendent, Prof. Chester
field Turner, the rivalry for,the ban
ner proved d strong feature in arous-
ing the active workers Efor: increased
attendance. For a year or .mOre the
banner has been in possession, OF Mr..
JON. Conover's class, composed of
men, and was there by merit, but Mrs.
Mary Bigg's class gradually grew,
stronger, and finally determined to
enter the contest for lts,,zpossession.
Notice was served on class number l,
that it must get busy or surrender TO
number 2. 1t accepted: the challenge
and became active, but lost the honor
and prestige it has so long held. AS
soon as this was known, last sSunday
by the Secretary's report, Mr.. aConover
in short speech full of oongratula-
tions, but somewhat threatening re-
capture, delivered the aforesaid ban
ner to class number ?. In response,
and in accepting the honor won, Mrs.
Biggs showed due appreciation of the
work done by her class, and served no.
tice in no unmistakable language that
the banner would continue to ghOat
over her class. While the rivalry was
spirited, it was conductadlIwith due
love for the great cause Of Sunday
School work, and has accomplished
much good. Such contest is healthy,
and we trust that the good work will
continue. This is the first contest
between the ladies and gentlemen in
this laudable work, and the activity,
persistency and power of the ladies
please have given them the victory,

Cane Valley Loses a Good Citizen

Last Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock,
Mr.. Joseph r. Rice, who was one of
the best citizens of Cane Valley, this
county, crossed to the other side in
full hopes of a blessed immortality
having made profession of his faith
in Christ and joined the Baptist
Church in his early manhood, living
consistently until the end.
The deceased was son of the late
Frank Rice and was about forty-si2
years old. His affliction was of long
duration, being a victim of cancer, oi
the stomach.
He will be greatly missed, not only
by his wife and children, aged mother
brothers and sisters, but by the en-
tire community.
The funeral services were held Fri
day morning, many relatives n q
friends attending. The interment was
in the Cane Valley cemetery.
Besides his wife and four children, his
mother, two brothers and two sisters, he
leaves a large circle of relatives. His
wife was Miss Wilson, sister of Mr.
Geo E Wilson, this place. Mrs. Brack
Massey, Columbia, and Mrs J. W.
Sublett, Cane Valley, were his sisters.
The brothers left are MessrS Frank
and Eugene Rice, Campbellsville.

great loss.

to the Pellyton (No. 15) road district
as they can use it up there and have
secured more benefit from it's use than
any other part of the county.
For the county at large | would
recommend that the county buy for

The system in the management of
the roads as now in practice l regard
as an inexcusably expensive one.
The business of the county, should, |
think, be administered along economi-
cal lines the same as that of an indi-
vidual.
When we need a little lumber, nails
or other material for the construction
or repairing of bridge or culvert, we
are forced under emergency to go to
some one who can supply us with the
needed article and contract to pay
therefore in most cases a rather ex-
orbltant price for sometimes, asin the

ticle having the same charged to the
county, the party furnishing the same
havieg to wait from to II months to
get his pay and may be loSe2 or days
time in getting his cliam allowed by
the fiscal court. All of this adds to
the expensiveness of the system and is
paid for in the long run by the people.
In this connection 1 would suggest
that you empower your Road Engineer
if you can trust him financially, and
if you cannot you had better get one
that you can, to lay in supplies OF
needed road material in each road-dis-
trict, said material to consist of lum-
Der or other mrterial for culvertS-
