in the end 1t will probably cost the

It Is understood that Gov. Tener be-

for the aid given in the elimination OF
Murphy may turn this sum over to
the Cubs. In the end, at least, the

Contest Settled.

In the contest proceedings, insti-
tuted by Mr.. W. T. Ottley, against
Judge Geo. t. Hereford, for the Of
flee of County Judge of Adair county,
the defendant won out. A great many
dispositions were taken in the case, on
both sides, which were submitted to
Judge j. G. Carter, who put in several
hours in reading same. Thursday
afternoon he notified the attorneys on
both sides that he was ready to hear
the case argued, and at 7:3O O'Clock the
same day the argument was COM
menced. Judge w. w. Jones spoke
for the defendant, Hartford, and Mr..
&. L. Campbell and Mr.. Ottley ap-
peared for the plaintiff, both gentle
men speaking.
A few minutes after o'clock Judge
Carter rendered his decision. He hand
ed down rather lengthy opinion, de-
Gliding that Judge Hereford was duly
elected to the Office of County Judge.
A record of the judgment was SO
made and Court adjourned.

j. 7. Jones,

We deeply regret the going of Bro.
J. P. Scruggs from Midway. He has
been with US so long that we shall not
know how to get along without him.
In point of service in a continuous pas
torate he is the Oldest pastor in Elk
horn Association. During his pastorate
of eight years at Midway he has done
a most excellent work. The work
under his leadership has prospered in
all branches, and he has made him.
self felt as a man of influence in the
community as we'll as in the church.
He is greatly beloved and honored by
all. He will be missed in the Associa-
ton and in the state for he was ever
ready to share his burden and do his
part in the work. He has rendered
notable service in connection with the
Georgetown assembly, being largely
resposible for its success. Among his
brother ministers he is esteemed for
his genial bearing, his fraternal spirit,
his deep piety and sweetness of spirit.
He goes to Fredericktown, Mo-, the
middle of May. May the Lord richly
bless him in his labors there. Rev

District Conference.

The Conference for the NJ. E. Church
South, Columbia District, was held in
this place. beginning last Thursday
forenoon and continuing until Sum-
day evening. The Introductory SER
mon was preached by Rev. S. K. Breed
ing, of Elkhorn, native of Adair
county.
"A District Conference is business
meeting, as we understandable hear
ing of reports of ministers and del
egates. the making known of the needs
of thevarious churches, and the work
that is expected to be accomplished
before the next meeting of the Louis
vile Conference. There were many
very gratifying reports, and during
the session humber of very interest
ing talks were made by both preachers
and laymen. We have not been given
the exact number of ministers who
were present. Perhaps three or four
from each county in the district. DR..
r. w. Browder, Of RusSellville, who is
noted minister of the Louisville
Conference, put in an appearance and
made number of splendid talks.
The Conference was cordially re-
ceiVed by the people of Columbia, all
the ministers and laymen comfortably
located during the session.
The meetings were presided over by
Rev. w. f. Hogard, the Presiding Ed
er of the Columbia district, the most
untiring worker in the Louisville Con-
ference, who will carry to the next
meeting of the Annual Conference a
very satisfactory report from his dis
trict. He is doing as much for Meth
odism as any man who ever went over
the hill counties of Kentucky, and his
arduous duties are performed in a God
fearing and God loving manner.
Sunday forenoon DR.. r. w. Browder
delivered very strong discourse to a
packed congree ation-one of the most
helpful sermons heard in this town for
many days
Sunday night Rev. M. M, Murrell,
of Monticello, addressed the Epworth
League. making most interesting
talk. There are but few young men
who are coming to the front, as min
lister, faster than Rev. Murrell. He
was born and reared in few miles of
Columbia and His mother lives in this
town. All who are closely connected
with him are justly proud of his prog
ress as minister. His schooling has
not been neglected, and he has the
vim togo forward in his chosen pro-
fession. Rev. Calvin Christie, another
Adair county boy, who has been in the
ministry several years, spoke 20 a
large congregation Saturday night.
He, too, is making his mark, his dis
course showing that he is recognized
as minister of ability. He is a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j, R. Christie, of
Knifley, who pride in the son who is
engaged in such a noble calling. Dur
ing the conference there were seven
ministers on the floor, natives of AdaiT
county.

A gentleman who has been over a
large portion of Adair, says that the
finest wheat crop that ever grew in
the county is about ready to harvest,
and that it would be a calamity for a
rainy spell to set in. He further says
that corn is not suffering, but that
grass is needing moisture, and that
gardens may need rain. Everything
considered, he thinks rain at this time
would be very detrimental.

A Tribute.

Written on the death of Hampton
Wolford which occurred at RoIey, this
county, two weeks ago..
Gone in the pride and the bloom of
your youth,
Called in the dawning of manhood
away,
Gone, but your soul by the river of
truth
Happy and sinless is resting to-day.
Scattered around you are lovely Yer
nal flowers,
Emblems of purity-Silently they
lie,
Bidding us look from this sad world OF
ours
Upward mansions more perfect
on high.
Sad are our hearts that we will see
you no more,
Vainly we would seek by our tender
ing of tears
Your spirits return from that far
distant shore,
Where happy it isEresting through
eternity's years.
And o, as your spirit ;iS happy and
free,
Resting's in Heavens eternal glad
day,
Mourn we not, then, it was best it
should be,
The same hand that ~gaveth hath
taken away.
Gentle and peaceful, o Hampton, be
your rest,
Sleeping so calmly while sadly we
sigh,
Still with our burdens of sorrow op-
pressed
We are resting and waiting for the
day that is nigh.
