It goes without saying that it is

but to sacrifice the one for the other
is to barter the real jewel for the
past brilliant There can be no har-
mony among such people
No sympathy, whether he be called
by the sacred name of helpmeet or
the uncertain cognomen of friend
The best friend man can have is
his wife. and marriage is the mold
into which the highest friendship is
poured
The true secret OF success in mar
riage is that the wife is the best
friend or chum or pal" her husband
has Why shouldn't she be? She
shares his sorrows. why not his joys?
1t is not an uncommon thing that
the man weds the sweetheart of his
childhood, the playmate of his boyish
days, when, hand in hand. they
rOamed together and no boy chum
could tear them apart.
Puppy love Is suppanted by the
great transcendental love that ce-
ments a lifelong intimate friendship.

Of this and his desire for its contin-

The man who holds his tired hard

wife who can share 1t with her hus-

There is an argument for incompati-

Railroad from Columbia to Stan:
ford.
(Stan ford Journal,)

Considerable interest has b e e n
aroused in this part of the State over
agitation begun at Columbia, Adair
county, for railroad to touch that
huStling and prosperous little city and
as an outlet for the vast resources of
Adair county. Nothing that could be
done for Adair would do more toward
promoting the business, industrial and
farming Interests of that county and
community.
Prominent business men of Lincoln
have suggested that steps be put on
foot looking toward securing the
building of a railroad from Columbia,
Through Adair county, building north,
east crossing Casey county and tapping
Liberty and on through the Green
river valley to Mckinney and thence
on to Stanford. 1t is pointed out that
a very rich section would thus be
opened up to development, which is
now remote from railway transporta.

veys have been made previously Of this
route and the engineers reports have
always been most favorable.
That the people of Adair caunty are
earnest in their desire for railway facil.

Obituary..

Mrs. Ida F. Payne, wife of John
Payne, died at the Capt. Payne home,
near Denmark, in Russell county, on
December the 9th, 1913.
Her body was laid to rest in the
family grave yard at the Payne place.
She was the daughter of William
Vaughan, now of Russell Springs. She
was born Jan. 18th, 1874, and reared
near Rowe's X Roads. She would
have been 40 years old had she lived to
18th of JAM, 1914.
She was united in the Holy Bonds
of marriage to John Payne April 18th,
1884. One brother, two sisters and
her mother have preceded her to the
home beyond, and one sister and one
brother survive her. She was convert
ed in her youth and united with the
Methodist Church at Mt. Pleasant,
RuSsellcounty, but was member OF
the Methodist Church t Russell
Springs at her death. She was a wo-
man of fine character and of most
cheerful and genial disposition, and
made friends of all those with
whom she came in contact. She ex-
pressed herself as ready to meet her
Lord when it was His will for her to
go. She had been afflicted for Is
months or more. She underwent an
operation last spring and a number of
gallStoneS were removed.
She never recovered her health, and
died with a complication of troubles.
Her husband was very much devoted
to her and did all he could for her re.
covery. May the Lord help the hus-
band to carry out his promise to be-
come a Christian and prepare to meet
her in the sweet bye and bye.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Payne home by the writer anc
Ed. G. w. Montgomery, her pastor at
Russell Springs.
May the Heavenly Father deaI
gently with the aged father who is
left behind for a short time, and al
the relatives and friends whom she
loved so dearly is my prayer.

Will Leave for Catlettsburs.

In few days Mrs. Pearl Harris,
NEE Miss Pearl Hindman,) who has
been the County School Superintend-
ent for the past four years, will bid
adieu to her Adair county friends and
will leave for Catlettsburg, where her
husband resides. There is not doubt
but she has made very efficient of
ficer She has been attentive and has
had the courage to stand for the right
upon all questions coming before her.
Her decisions have probably made a
few enemies, but her critics have had
no just reason to complain. In fact, a
Superintendent of Schools can not
please every body, hence there is but
one way for a person holding said Of
fee to act: Follow the letter of the
law, and take little cenSure if it fol-
lows, knowing that it will not hurt.
Mrs. Harris will be missed from CO.
lumbia, and we take pleasure in COM
mending her as lady of culture, a
member of one of Adair county'S best
families, to the good people of Cat
lettSburg.

To enamoured are some people with
the idea Of buying in any other than
their own town that they hesitate to
buy even spool Of thread of their
local merchant, and there are men who
will send away for twenty-five cent
whip which they could have bought
without the cost of a cent for postage
from a local merchant. And these are
the people who talk about their town
being dead. Verify the Wise Man
was right when he said; "The eyes of

Christmas Dents.

Don't tell people that you do not
expect to receive any presents. You
know you do.
Don't forget that the clerk who has
been working many long hours for
many long weeks is human.
Don't if the present you are sending
was expensive, fail to remove the price
tag.
Don't hunt the price marks on the
presents you receive.
Don't wait till Christmas for the
purpose of being kind.
Don't let your left pocket know
what your right pocket gives for
friendship for love or for charity.
Don be grouchy merely because
some delivery boy happens to punch
you with the corner of a box that is
twice as large as he.
Don't let yourself suppose when you
crowd into the place where Christmas
shopping is being done that you are
the only one who is in a hurry.
Don't present your Christmas gift
as if you were comforting a favor.
Don't give merely for the purpose
of creating the impression that you
are generous.
