Mr.. III. X. Taylor who clerks in Mr..
Frank SincIaIr's store, is responsible
for this statement, which he says is
true: Just now many turkeys and
geese are being driven to the depot
at Campbellsville, and unless the feet
of geese are protected they make
slow progress. Mr.. Taylor said that
experienced poultry drivers shod their
geese before starting to the market.
The parties to whom he was talking
said they never heard of such thing
and asked him to explain. He did so
as follows: "Before leaving with your
geese get bucket of tar and a smooth
plank, pour the tar on the plank, chen
pick up the geese one at time, set
ting their feet in the tar, turn them
loose and in short time thick coat
of dirt will form, and the fowls can
walk to Campbellsville before it wears
off. Without doing this the feet of
the geese get sore by the time they
travel few miles and they have to be
taken up and hauled"

We learn that the pOst-office depart
ment at Washington has taken the
good roads proposition in hand, and
its action is having good effect in
some parts of the country. 1t is known
that star route carriers deliver mail
along their respective routes to farm
ers. 1t Is reported that in one section
of the country people who failed to
get their mail promptly, made COM
plant and were notified from Wash
ington that they would have to build
better roads before the star route car
riers could take the time to deliver
their mail. Better get busy in this
part of the country.

A Mistake.

A mistake was made when the town
council refused to purchase rock for
the streets at price that would justi-
fly crushing the stone and by so do
ing really forced the sale of the
crusher. Gravel and sand make good,
but short life roads, and in the end
crushed stone is cheaper. 1t is our
Judgment that Columbia would fare
better to use stone instead of gravel
and that it would be good business to
buy a cruSher for it's own use.

Thanksgiving.

Lippincott, speaking of Thanksgiv-
ing says:
Thanksgiving is the day when every
one says he is thankful, and wants to
eat turkey to prove it. Ifyou haven't
anything else to be thankful for, you
are not turkey.
Thanksgiving day was first observed
py the Pilgrims, who were thankful
that thew, had five grains, of corn
apiece. In these extravagaut times a
man wouldn't be thankful if he had
ten grains of corn-which shows con-
cluSively that we are prosperous
The trusts are doing a noble work in
remedying this evil condition.
People have various unreasonable
reasons for being thankful on Thanks.
giving day. Some men are thankful
they took a wife, and some are thank
full they didn't take two. Bachelor
maids are thankful they are not "bor-
rid bachelors" and a married woman
is always thankful that her husband
has a good wife. 1t is easy to be
thankful if you go about it right.
But the thing people are most thank
full for is their money-even though
they came by it honestly. The more
man has, the more thankful he is
that it isn't less, and the less man
has the less likely he is to be thankful
because it isn't more. Be thankful,
therefore, that you haven't too much
to be thankful for. Turkey tastes all
the better for coming but once year.

The Graded School boys, who went
to Monticello to engage the Graded

the score being 46 to 4 in favor of the
Monticello boys. A return game will

Near Columbia.
MANY FRIENDS ATTENDED THE FUNERAL

Possessing a most friendly DISPOSE

she met, made Cecil Shreves Hurt, the
beloved wife of Claud Hurt, one of Co
lumbia's most popular young women
She was friend to everybody anC
everybody was her friend, hence hel
death brought great sorrow to hel
home town.
The end came in st. Anthony Hos
pital, Louisville, last Friday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock, where, a few weeks be
fore, she had submitted to an opera
ton. Her husband, relatives anC
friends had but little hope after sht
went under the knife, as her decline
was very perceptible from day to day
until the final dissolution. Her hus
band was with her almost constantly
after she went to the hospital, and fol
several weeks before her demise hel
brother, Mr.. Sam Shreves, and hel
cousin, Miss Amanda Butler, were
daily present, and many friends called
to make inquiry.
If the writer remembers correctly
the deceased was born in Taylor coun.
ty, and short time after the death OF
her mother, who was Miss Johnston,
before her marriage, a sister of Mrs.
Josh Butler, who lives near Columbia,
she came to the home of the latter to
live, and was loved and tenderly cared
for as one of the family until her mar.
riage to Mr.. L. G. Hurt, which oc.
cured about fifteen years ago.
After their union the couple went to
housekeeping in the husbands resi-.
dence on Greensburg street, this place.
Mrs. Hurt took much pleasure in en-.
PERTAINING her friends: every one who
visited her were made to feel perfect
ly happy-her pleasant disposition
bringing sunshine to those who were
in her presence.
While she and her husband owned a
comfortable home in this place, for
the past several years they lived in
Louisville, and for a time conducted a
boarding house, the wife looking after
the guests, the husband, the most of
the time, being collector for a sew
ing machine company, but later con-
nected with the city street car COM
pany.
The remains reached here Saturday
AFTERNOON, many friends calling to
take the last look of the one they
dearly loved in life.
The interment was in the Butler
graveyard Sunday afternoon, large
circle of relatives and friends being
present. There were many beautiful
floral designs.
The religious exercises were con-
Quoted by her pastor, Ed. Il T. Will
iamS, who PAID high tribute to the
life and character of this beloved
young woman, whose stay upon earth
was thirty-seyen years, and from girl
hood doing all the coed she could.
This paper is in sympathy with all
those who so keenly feel the loss.
