THAT conclusion holds true today
and 1t is coEclusiyely proved by the
official statistics that the principal

public control.
The same data alsofreflect the re.
latively high development of the medi

UNKNOWN MAN IS
DEAD NEAR TRACK
BODY CT PERSON ABOUT SIXTY
YEARS Or AGE FOUND SOUTH
OF CITY.

Old, penniless, an outcast almost
at this glad season, some unknown
man was killed near the track Of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad on
the main line about two and one half
miles South of Columbia on Sunday
morning. The body was discovered
lying near the track at about o'clock
on Sunday afternoon by the track
walker. An inquest was Immediately
held by Justice of the Peace Allen
Holt, acting as coroner. The jury
simply returned verdict that the old
man came to his death by means un.
known to the jurors, that his body
was bruised and one arm broken. 1t
is the theory of those who have seen
the body that the man was probably
walking along the railroad track
when he was struck by L. & N train
No. 3.
The man was about sixty years of
age and had absolutely nothing on
his person to identify him. His sole
possessions were little bag and six
teen cents in change. He had spent

tributed in the City.

One of the most beautiful and prac-
teal charities of the Yuletide was the
big Christmas tree of the Elks of Co.
lumbia, given at the lodge rooms on
Saturday afternoon. This annual event
of the Elks is the red letter occasion
of the whole year. 1t alone makes
sufficient answer to why an Elk?"
There were some 325 little children
made happy by the tree.
To the little girls, dolls and hose
and handkerchiefs were among the
gifts, while the boys got handker-
chiefs and hose too and neckties and
toys and everyone received a big sack
of fruit and nuts and candies There
were about fifty sacks of nuts and
candies left after the distribution
from the tree and these were taken
by the committee to the poor children
of the city who had been unable to
attend. Other presents were also
likewise conveyed.
Everything was done with perfect
system and not a single child was
overlooked. The scene was an inspir-
ing one and the childish glee over
the goodness of Santa Claus more
than recompenses the committee for
its arduous labors in the cause. The
following had charge of the tree: DR..

mas was never enjoyed. 1t is certain
that there has never been soberer
one in all the history of the county.
1t is likewise true that there has new.
er been a quieter or more peaceful
one.
Reports of dIunks in the county are
exceedingly scarce All of Christmas
day there was just two arrests by the
police, both for drunk and disorderly
and the county officers made only
four for the same otfiense and of these
two for assault and battery. This is
total of six arrests in the county,
out of a population of forty odd thous-
and. So far as can be ascertained
there were no drunken brawls, no
shooting or cutting scrapes or other
untoward incidents so common at this
season in the years gone by.
1t was a glorious Christmas. The
people in the county were prosperous
and spent their money freely but
they spent it for substantial things.
Comparatively speaking little was
expended for liquor in the county.
There have never been more Christ
mas trees or Christmas entertain
ments. Nearly every church in the
county made some provision for the
distribution of presents and many of
the schools did the same thing Fam
lily trees were numerous also.
