late home, in Campbellsville, Horace
e. Baker, succumbed to the inevitable
and passed over the river of death.
he was afflicted for more than year,
a victim of heart and stomach trouble,
and his demise was not surprise to
his children and friends He was a
son of Samuel NJ. and Mary t. Baker
and was born, reared and educated in
Columbia, leaving here for Campbells-
vile when he was about twenty-eight
years old. A year or two after he be-
came citizen of Campbellsville he
was married to Miss Mary Montague,
a daughter of the late Judge r. S
Montague, and to this union eight
children were born, four SONS and four
daughters. The children are all liy-

Mason in this town in his early man.

a citizen of Campbellsville, he became
a Royal Arch Mason. Had he lived
until the 10th of next July he would
have been sixty-four years old.
He leaves quite a number of rel
atiVes on both his fathers and moth

county, all of whom will be made sad
by learning the intelligence of his
passing. The interment was in Brook

wife, the Masonic fraternity officiat-

Musins On The Old Year.

Another year! Another link! Fare
we'll old year! IT'S true you brought
some pain, some tears, but you proved
kinder than most years in being free
with joys. Think, wrongs have been
righted that had cost tears and pain.
Some kind, dear friends were won,
some lost. Some friends once lost
have been found. We can hardly re-
alize that the end has come. If we
should feel sad and discouraged at this
parting, let US only count our blessings.
Our Heavenly Father knows what is
best, and His care for US is not merely
general, but is most minute. 1t is a
profound satisfaction that Gcd knows
all about US, and however we may be
misjudged or misunderstood, He will
rightly judge US and we will be ten
derby loved and cared for by our friend
the Father of US ALL Farewell old
year. l am resigned to part with
you. All hail the new! Let this be
one most sincere resolution for the
new year:
'If any little love of mine
Can make one life the sweeter,
If any little care of mine
Can make one step the f1eeter,
If any little help may ease
The burden of another,
God give me love and care and
strength
To help along each other"

Editor News:
The passing of another year i'm
presses me with the thought of many
years ago when 1 grasped the hands
and received cordial greeting of many
devoted and valued friends more than
''forty years ago." "Time, remorse-
slime, "has made many changes, and
with it's irresistible force has carried
along its path many noble friends who
now sleep in their silent tombS This
is a slime for memory and for tears y
1 ask myself why is it that 1 am left
and friends of my youth are gone.
/ now reside in cottage nearby
where 1 was born and reared, but the
friends of my early days are gone.
Many of them are buried on an emf
hence overlooking the placid waters of
Green river, to which place 1 often go
and view with sadness the little
mounds that contain their remains.
l look for cheer and go to dear old Co.
lumbia and do not find it. / do not
meet Nat Gather, genial and Iowa
BILE man, nor Capt. Ed RUSSELL, one of
the best friends of my Youth, Judge
Zach Wheat and many others.
And in later years do Z see Judge
James Garrett at whose office / gen.
orally made my headquarters, and l
will say that he was always my coun-
Sellor and friend. But may be too
serious, and will close by inserting the
following from the Poet which have
seen verified:
"When young life's journey began,
The glittering prospects charmed my
eyes,
I saw along the extended plane
Joy after joy successive rise,
But soon 1 found it was all dream,
And learned the fond pursuit to shun,
Where few can reach the purposed
aim.
And thousands daily are undone.
1 will add that 1 will soon be eighty
years old and live near W. R. Knif1ey,
Democrat on my right, and P. P. Yves
ley, Republican, on my left, both OF
whom are ready and willing to succor
me if requested.

To Tobacco Growers.

The Greensburg tobacco market
closed Dec 23rd, with a strong mar
ket, on both Burley and Dark tobacco.
Up to this date we have sold one-half
million pounds of tobacco, at an
average price on hurley of Sc. 20 and on
dark tobacco at an average of s5.14
per cwt
We will reopen on December 28th,
and continue daily sales as long as
there is pound of tobacco in the
country.
We are looking forward for better
market after the holidays, on all
types of tobacco, however, we have
had strong market, when the grade
of tobacco is taken into consideration.
There has been but very little good
tobacco put on the market yet, conse-
quently it is hard proposition to get
good average on inferior tobacco.
Bring US some Of your good tobacco
and help US make good market, We
are in position now to give our Gus
toners prompt service, and thereby
the farmer can save expenses by get
ting unloaded and marketing his to-
bacco in short time.
Bring US your tobacco and we will
furnish you experienced hands to help
you unload and grade. Give US trial
once and if you are not satisfied with
your prices, you may reject your to-
bacco, and we will furnish you a good
place to prize it, and it will not cost
you one cent.

Attending SchOol-Where?

1 noticed our County Superintend-
ent advised US to attend the State
Normal last year, and it is a good one,
too No doubt about it.
Actual investigation convinces me
that it would be, not only cheaper,
but actually as good for US to attend
our Home Normal and High School as
the State Normal.
This home schooling, Il am speak
ing of AdaIr directly,) would help all
financially by the pupils money being
left at home Not for argument, but
/ believe when we shall have done all
the work our nearby schools offer,
then is the time to enter the State
Normal
From little "bit" of experience as
County Examiner, 1 feel sure our
Adair county trained folks will COM
pete fayorably with any from what
ever institution
Let US not, undervalue Adair coun.
tvs talent. If you go to school else
where remember we have good schools
at home.
Very Truly,

The Fairy Land Entertainment
given by the pupils of the Graded

part. The children were all small,
but they played their parts to perfec-

ed with their happy expressions and
cute acting. 1t was Christmas story
in which Santa Claus was well brought
out. The children were drilled by
Misses King and Clark, teachers of

Reed & Miller 10 Quit Business.

Everything indicates that there will
be but few changes in the business af-
fairs of Columbia at the beginning OF
the New Year, only one business
changing hands. The hardware and
grocery store which has been run for
many years over the firm name of
Reed & Miller will change to Barger
& Co., Ed. f. J. Barger, his two sons,
Ores and E. B. Barger having pur-
chased the stock and the inventory
will be taken this week. Reed g.
Miller are frst-class business men,
and have built up a large trade
throughout the county and their re-
tirement from the commercial affairs
of Columbia is generally regretted.
Neither Mr.. Reed nor Mr.. Miller are
in good health and that is the only
reason they offer for quitting business.
The gentlemen who will take charge
are men of character, good business
men, who have a general acquaint-
ance over the county, and it is pre-
dicted that the store will maintain
its high standing, and that the new
firm will receive liberal share of the
trade of Adair county.
Mr.. II. N. Miller will continue as
manager of the Columbia Telephone
Company, and there will be no change
in the location of the exchange.
