A Sudden Death.

The people of the Midtown country
were greatly surprised last Friday
morning to learn that Mrs. Jennie
Caldwell had suddenly passed away
during Thursday night. She retired
in her usual health and after sleeping
several hours she awoke and notified
members of the family that she was
sick, and in about twenty minutes
thereafter she died.
The deceased was about seventy six
years old and was the widow of Mr..
Jerry Caldwell, who has been dead
mary years. She was a lady highly
respected and will be missed from the
neighborhood where she resided. She
was sister of Mrs. Ella Staples anC
Mrs. Margaret Wilmore, of this place,
Funeral services were held at Mill
town Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
conducted by Rev. W. H. G. Sandidge
of GreenSburg.

How to save Your Meat.

A writer in an exchange offers the
following suggestion as to preserving
meat. Those who butchered their
hogs about three weeks ago fear that
the hams and shoulders are injured by
the exceeding warm weather which
has interviewed This is simple plan
pursued with good results. Remove
the salt from the joints and wash them
in water to which has been added two
pounds of carbinate of soda to ten
gallons of water. Allow them to dry
and treat them again to fresh salt,
and put them down in single layers
only, in a cool, well-aired place, until
ready to take up and smoke. Don't
dip the joints, but pour the soda water
on them, using common Scrubbing
brush as you pour the water on until
the salt is all removed. In curing
pork, if you want to make assurance
doubly sure, cover the joints in brine
strong enough to float an egg, for two
weeks then take up and smoke as the
packers do who never have tainted
joints, and then bacon is made princi-
pally in warm weather by the use of
refrigeration.

Verdict for Will.

A dispatch from Frankfort to tina
Courier-Journal of racent date saws:
"A will executed in 1873 by Thomas
c. Purdy, and drawn and witnessed by
Gov. Proctor Knott, was upheld by
the Court of Appeals, which reversed
the Marion Circuit Court in the case
OF Thomas c. PurGy's administrator
VS.. Miranda Evans. The latter was
daughter of Purdy's first marriage
who was taken by her grandparents to
rear before she was 2 years old. Purdy
left all his property, some $4,000, to
his second wife, and her son, A. ID.
Purdy. Undue influence and mental
incompetency were the grounds ON
which the testament was attacked.
but the Court of Appeals said the
lower court should have directed a
verdict sustaining the will.

predict failure, let's remember that
it takes time and patience, and such
things are not done in day or week.

to death. AS have been asked what

The Educational Board of The
Louisville Conference is highly
pleased with the Lindsey Wilson
SHOOT, not only its past and present
work, but its future as well. The
school has never been more fiourishing
and its future seems to warrant the
Board in spending more money. A
brick dormatory for the boys, con-
tanning 40 rooms, is now being consid-
cred and will cost $4,000. The Board
only asks this community to give
500. 1t would be serious mistake
to fail in securing this money, and We
trust that the friends of the school
will not allow it to be done. The
school is doing great work and the
dormitory is necessary for its growth.
sl,SOO of the $4,000 was raised this
week.

II you want to see Columbia grow
and general prosperity reigning
throughout Adair county, lend your
assistance and give of your means to
secure a railroad. Enterprising men
of the town and county are going af-
ter a road, and if corporation will
not build it, the county of Adair will,
not by tax, as that would be uncon-
Stitutional, but by private subscrip-
ton. There are lots of men in Adair
county who are willing to givea, few
thousand dollars each to the enter
prise, and then have money enough
left to live on easy street.
