The Greensburg Pike.

Mr.. ]. A. Dulworth, who is the
President of the Greensburg Pike. was
in Columbia last Monday. Mr.. Dull
worth is very much interested in con-
Meeting Greensburg and Columbia y
pike. He informs the News, weather
not interfering, that the pike from
Greensburg to the Adair line will be
completed by July or August. In fact,
it is practically finished now to Has
kinsville. The Green county people
understand that Adair county agreed to
meet Green at the Adair line. They
want definite expression, and it is
suggested that representatives of the
two counties meet at an early day and
come to tangible understanding.
This is road that will be valuable to
Columbia and Adair county. 1t is not
cut to pieces, and it would be smooth
sailing for automobiles, and direct
road to the railroad.

disagreeable weather Rev. John n.

Greensboro Tobacco Market.

Burley market improved. Dark to-
bacco decidedly stronger.
Over 100000 lbs sod last Saturday at
prices from So to S25. Farmers we'll
pleased less than l per cent rejected.
Buyers for all the large concerns were
present and bidding was lively. We
now have buying representation from
all the Trusts who are standing by
this market and we feel sure of a good
steady market.
Bring your tobacco to US in good
dry order and well graded before ieav-
ing your barn. Don't forget that wet
bacco has no value, especially at this
to season.
We advise marketing tobacco right
along as it is very plain that tobacco
sell much lower in summer order than
winter order and we only ask you to
review the market past two years for
the proof of this assertion.
Bring your tobacco to your HON e
market, you will not only get more
for your tobacco but you are building
a wall of protection that means much
to those who wish to continue to grow

My. dear Editor
Will you not through the Adair
County News, express to the people
Of Columbia our heartfelt appreciation
Of the tenderness and love extended to
US who came back to the home of our
forefatherS Oh the saddeSt of missions:
yet having the mate satisfaction of
knowing We were acting in accord
ance with her desire, that is. tenderly
placing cur beloved grandmother be-
side him who had preceded her these
many years, and amongst those whose
lives had been a living testimonial of
their mothers goodness and faith.
Many years had passed since we had
looked OH the scenes of our childhood:
familiar cOuntenanceS to our infant
vision no longer smiled their welcome,
yet their places were Supplanted by
the younger generation whose friend
illness and kindliness warmed our
hearts, and made each and every one
OF US proud of the land of our nativ-
ity. A score of years have passed
since our fathers sought other res
licences. yet Columbia now and has al.
ways been Home to them and Home
to their children and their children's
clNdren. When your es t ewm d
townman paid loving tribute to his
childhood friend, his remarks only
testified to the belief we had always
cherished, the passing away of a
Christian character; consecrated
life; noble woman. To have known
her was to love her The world is in.

seven year sojourn here

We need first of all, an intelligent
fixed plan, and some one-not some
hundred, whose business it is to see
that the plan is carried out. This duty
under the present law rests on the
County Road Engineer. He is given
the charge of the public roads and
bridges, and it is his duty under the d.
rection of the county court, to lay out
the county roads into sections not ex-
ceeding two miles in length, specifying
what he shall deem necessary for the
Improvement and keeping in repair
each section, &C., and to see that they
are put and kept in as good repair as
may be within the means at his COM
mandi We would be glad to see what
is known as the liking drag" intro
duced into the county, and a section of
road worked according to that plan.
1t has been very successful in many
other places, and we see no reason why
our soil is not adapted to its use.
Any one can make the drag in an
hour or two. and believe if we grade
up our roads, and do the necessary
ditching. and then use the drags as d.
rected, we will have gone a long ways
in solving the road problem.
1t is worth the trial, and we COM
mend it to the consideration of our
Rood Engineer, and to the court under
whose direction he acts.

Strange but true, death came to a
little mouse in Mr.. J. f. Montgom-
ery's crib, last Friday morning, in a
manner never before heard of and
which surprised many of the young
mans friends who would have reflect
ed his statement but for his well
founded reputation as truthful,
matter-of-fact man. AS we get it,
Mr.. Ray Montgomery went to the
crib early that morning and found a
garden rake in the floor of the crib,
a mouse was on the iron socket, acting
queerly, t1ouncing up and down in an
alarming manner. He watched it for
some time and finally gently gave it a
little tap which put it into the land
from whence no man returns. Pick
ing up the rake the mouse was drawn
with it, and while enroute to the
house to exhibit the courteous trap it's
tongue gave loose and the show was
over The mouse had evidently
placed its tongue to the rake and the
zero weather held it.
