Capt. B. F. Powell Badly Hurt.

Capt. B. F. Powell. who was born
aud reared in Adair county, and who
is remembered by many of our older
citizens, met with a very serious acct
dent at his home, in Lincoln county,
last week. The Stanford Interior
Journal gives the following account OF
it:
"Capt. B. f. Powell, one of the best
and most prominent citizens of Lin
coin county, was quite seriously in
jured last week when a mare he was
holding by a halter became unruly
and jumping against him, threw him
violently against the ground, breaking
a hip for him close to the body. On
account of his age-Capt. Powell is
close to Is years old-the injury is
much more dangerous than if he were
a younger man. Physicians have set
the fractured member, but the injury
is very painful and aggravating and it
is hard for Capt. Powell to obtain
much needed rest. The accident hap
pened at Capt. Powell's home farm,
about five miles west of Stanford, in
the McCormack'S church neighbor-
hood. Members of his family quickly
went to his assistance and he is being
given every attention, but the out
come of such a serious accident is

How to Get d Railroad.

Editor News
l see from your late editorials that
you are advocating the building of a
railroad to connect Columbia with the
outside world, and that so far you
have not had a response. Perhaps
you citizens all feel that a railroad
would be good thing for the town
and county, and especially along the
route, but what are they going to do
about it? Why, we can not and do
not even build and maintain anything
like a good system of public roads, so
how are we going to promote railroad
building, much less build one and put
it in operation. Columbia is good
| inland town, and needs a railroad,
but so long as Columbia and Adair
county give their freight and traffic to
the Louisville & Nashville railroad as
it now does, the town and county will
| be without railroad. Why? Be-
cause this corporation cannot see the
policy of building more road bed and
eQuipping same when it is already the
beneficiary at the freight and traffic
from this section. The mistake that
Columbia and Adair county made
dates back to the building of the pike
to Campbellsville. Whenever this
section awakeS to the fact that it
must direct its freight and traffic IN
some other direction, and give the L..
& N, to understand that unless she
comes after the business she can not
get it, then, and not until then, will
she build road to Columbia. To sum
it all up, there are only two ways for
this section to have a railroad. The
first is, for the people to go to Cum
berland river with their freight and
traffic, build pike to the river, and
get in touch with the Cincinnati
Southern. Then the l.. & N, would
offset this by building road. Second,
would be for the citizens to form a
corporation and build and equip their
own road, independent of the L. & n,
which would eventually be taken over
by the l.. & n, but at loss to the
builders. Any way we would be glad
to see the road built.

that the report Of the amount of meat
that has spoiled IN Adair county, has
been greatly exagirated. The fact is,
that not many farmers have slaught-

lost some joints, and that is about the
size of the amount of meat lost.
