brothers in the saddest hour OF
their life. She was loving lit

knew her. and will be missed by

have no hope, for she is safe
with Jesus and is reckoning to
loved ones to come and join her
around Gods eternal throne
where there will be no more

sickness was one of suffering,
although every effort was made
to relieve her pain but to no
avail. The tie is broken and she
has gone to the realities of that
great beyond. 1t is such a sweet
thought for her loved ones to
know she is at rest wish Jesus
and sooner or later they all can
join her around Gods eternal
throne with an unbroken band.

Columbia population should reach
10000 mark in the the next ten
years. Adair county lands ought
to again double in value by that
date and sell for 500 per acre
and still be profitable to pur-
chaser. Our 100 miles of roads
must be doubled in that time and
develop every neighborhood in
the county. 1t can be done if
we do not falter under present
tendencies. One of the most
threatening agencies of disrup-
ton to our furthur advancement
seems to be who will be our NOM
inees for county offices. Alas,
only a dream. We have reveled
in the realm of possibility, not
actuality, and the conditions
above mentioned could be the
happy heritage of the people Of
this county if only willing to
reach out and do what we are
amply able to do. A century
hence, may the good people who
will breathe the balmy air of
this cline be in possession of con-
ditions equal to the foregoing
Its only a dream, but life should
be more than a dream.

Adair county was represented

of Kentucky, being tw enty miles
from a rail road with almost i'm

borders, for eight months in the
year. Under those conditions,

her citizens seemed content and
happy, and but little inclination

entire section was Indifferent to

ment, Columbia, likewise, was
drifting with her surroundings,
for it is out of the ordinary and
beyond the power of a town to
grow and prosper in a sluggish
community. The two are insep-
erably connected, the one de-
pendent on the other. In those
days a few public spirited men
were to be found who could not
be content with the trend of pub
lie improvements or the limited
opportunities to develop a pros
porous business but they were
hopelessly in the minority and
bore, as best they could, the
drag Of events, looking forward
to an awakening of the people.
For years after feeble protests
were made against such condi-
tons, and the little band of ag-
itators had almost lost hope,
nothing occurred to tickle their
fancy or to increase their zeal.
Thus it was from year to year,
from decade to decade. Now

propositions with the average
citizen until accomplished, and
since then every body wondered
why this was not done many
years ago. That small body of
men who organized and secured

of railroad stock, secured right

ry as great benefactors, and yet
this could as well been done
| twenty-five years ago. Then
how did we get our 100 miles
of fine roads? A few years ago
The News blazed the way for
good roads, urging their building
by selling county bonds. That
seemed to be extreme folly when
presented, and many opposed it
by an appeal to passion and pref
udice, and for a time the editor
received many severe criticisms
which seemed to please many
sturdy farmers in every part of
the county. The seed was sown,
many falling in the fertile soil of
intelligent brain where reason
played its part in solving the
proposition, developing into our
present magnificent roads at a
very small annual cost. Those
who feared that rs cent road
tax to support the bonds would
prove a fearful burden and dis
courage the people, now find the
very opposite. Since we have
the roads, since Columbia has
doomed by solid industries and
become a thrifty little city of five
thousand, and since the farmers
on every one of our beautiful
roads have been aroused, farm
products have increased two-fold
on the same acreage. New
fences displace old ones. Old
houses are being repaired, and
many new ones being erected.
Since people Of progressive in
clination are coming from other
parts of the country, buying
small farms at double the price
Of land under old conditions,
since they get more money for
their products and market for
one-half the expense. Since all
these things fears have flown,
and the supposed burden has
proven a blessing. Leaf by
leaf the roses fall, drop by drop
the spring ran dry" The
dreamy farmer, the town pessi-
mist could not see advancement
in borrowing money and building
roads, but now the mist has dis
appeared since miles and miles
of beautiful roads stretch out
from Columbia in every direction
and the merry hum Of industry
is inspiring music to all. Mud
despatched vehicles are seen no
more. A one horse load pulled
by four mules has passed to the
beyond. Land values are still
advancing and the farmers, chief
benefciaries of the roads, are
wearing smiles with bank ac-
counts ccumul ting. Our
schools have taken on new life
and both town and county holds

past, were forced to go to more
