Report the Births

In the endeavor to have complete
record of all of the births and deaths
of AGair county, the Vital Statistics
Bureau Of Kentucky has it's repre-
sentative, Gates Young, of Owensbo-
70, KY, making an inspection Of the
various registrars records, and visit
ing all of the physicians, undertakes,
mid-wives and cemetery sections in the
county, with the view to have every
one comply with the law. Heretofore
the county's record has been excep-
tionally poor in the report of deaths,
and Mr.. Young stated that after his
inspection of the county, he would
procure warrants for any one found
violating the law and vigorous prose-
'cutions would follow.
Kentucky's vital statistics law has
been in operation since 1912 and near
ly every county in the State has been
complying with it to the letter, but
the bureau feels that Adair county
citizens have been negligent in this
matter, and will endeavor to secure
the cooperation of the citizens in gen.
eral by publicity and general educa-
tion in the usefulness of the records
sought by the law.
The law is one of the most impor-
tant on the statute books, and it Is
very necessary that Adair county citi-
zens comply with it, as it's enforce
ment means giving the children of the
county their birthright, and may, in
after years, mean money to them, as
it provides a means for their proving
their rights under the laws. 1t now
necessary in many States for all chill
dren to have their birth certificates
before leaving or entering school, and
also before securing employment, and
this will be the case in Kentucky in
the near future, so the Adair- county
parents should see that their chill
dren's births are registered, and also
that all deaths are properly reported.

Jury Disagreed.

For the second time Mr.. W. T. Ott-
ley was tried last week upon the
charge of being implicated in the
changing of the vote in the County
Judges race, in this county, after
the November, election, 1913 The
readers of the News are perfectly IA
miliar with the case, hence we deem
it unnecessary to go into the particu-
lars The jury was out several. hours,
reporting last Saturday afternoon that
a verdict could not be reached. The
jury stood ten for conviction.
The State was representa- by A. A.
HuddIeston and Gordon Montgomery;

Died in Texas.

Relatives of Columbia, we're notified
a few days since of the death of Mrs.
Birdie Strange, the beloved wife of
Mr.. S. c. Strange, which occurred in
Dallas, Texas, Wednesday of last week.
The deceased was daughter of An
drew and Laura Powell, and was born
at Chenille, this county, but was rear
ed in Columbia. Her parents and two
brothers preceded her to the grave.
Mrs. Strange was very excellent
lady, and was married to her surviy.
ing husband, in this place, in 1906 A
few years after their union they re-
moved to Texas where they resided
until death called the wife. Besides
the huband she left four children, the
last one being born day or two be-
fore the demise of the mother. Rela-
tiVes of Columbia take this method of
sending coincidence to the stricken hus-
band and children. 1t was sad death,
especially when you consider the little
ones who are to go through life with
out the protecting care of mother.
The deceased was a devoted mem
Der of the Christian church, and was
about 80 years old.

Judge 1. 81, Thurman, of Spring.
field, came to Columbia last week and
purchased one-half interest in Nancy
Monroe, fine two-year-old combined
mare, from Mr.. R. E. PAUL, and she
is now in training at Judge Thurman's
stock farm. This mare was exhibited
at the State Fair, and was admired by
thousands. She was entered in the
tWo-year-old harness ring and was
awarded second money. She was also
shown in the two year-old saddle ring
and won first money. These premiums
were awarded over many competitors,
the best breed in Kentucky. Judge
Thurman has in his employ an ex-
perienced trainer, and he will see that
this mare has the closest attention.
If no accident should come to her she
will make a record next year that will
cause the horse men Of the State to

Mr.. Walker Absher, man 66 years
of age, died at Pellyton Sunday, Sept.
IL, 1916, of a complication of diseases,
therefore his death was not unexpect-

restore him to health, but to no avail,
and he died as he had liyed-peaceful-
ly. In early life he professed his faith
in Christ and united with the Baptist
Church and lived a consistent Christ
ian till the end came. The family has
lost devoted husband and father, the
community good citizen. He was
honest and Industrious and had de-
cumulated considerable of this worlds
goods. Every body thought well of
him and he will be greatly missed.
He leaves a wife and several chill

SKETCHES.
B. Il. Gilpln.

Twenty years or more ago Mr.. B. H.
Gilpin took up his residence in Camp
bellsVilIe, being employed as sales
man in dry goods store. He followed
this avocation until about fifteen
years ago when he went on the road
as travelling salesman for whole
sale grocery house, of Louisville. He
has been almost constantly CONNER
cial traveller since that date. He
changed houses several times, as more
lucrative offers came, but he did not
fail to give satisfaction to each estab-
lishment for whom he did business
He now represents the Cumberland
Grocery Company, and his territory is
in this part of the State, embracing
four or five counties. He makes Co.
lumbia about every two weeks, and
his face is as familiar here as native.
He has at all times commanded good
trade, the country merchants having
the utmost respect for him, relying
upon his integrity, and do not hest
| tate when he presents his price list.
Socially Mr.. Gilpin is very compaion
able, every body being his friend
About twelve years ago he was mar
ried in Burkesville to Miss Letha Law
horn, daughter of Mr., and Mrs. T.
]. Lawhorn, and about two years age
their first child was born, son, who
is idilized by his loving parents. Mr..
Gilpin and his competitors are on the
most friendly terms, due to the cour
teous manner in which he solicits. He
will probably remain on the road a;
long as health and activity will per
nit, and when he retires we trust that
he will have in store snug sum fol
himself and for those he is most deep
ly interested His form and carriage
indicate that Father Time has dealt
gently with him May the same bless
ings continue with him to the end j:
the wish of this publication, and maj
his trade increase as the country con
tinues its march to prosperity.
