entered the Federal army and served
IN the 18th regiment, Capt o. B
Patteson's company, until hostitities
ceased. He was a good soldier and
also first-class citizen, one who will
mot only be missed by his immediate
family, but all who knew him init
mately. He died with diseases Incl
Gent to old age, and in his passing, for
several days he slept his life out.
Some years ago he professed his faith
IN Christ, united with the Christian
church, and was a faithful member
until the summons called him from the
walks of life.
In his association with his fellows.

for every one he met. We never knew
OF Bill Butler, as he was Familiarity
called, speaking unkind words of his
telloWman. Honest in all dealings,
with heart full of love for the com.
panion of his bosom and a number of
devoted daughters, he passed through
the veil, to await the coming of his
earthly loved ones.
Besides his wife and children he
leaves three brothers and two sisters
to our knowledge.
May God comfort them in this hour
of sorrow.
The funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon by Ed. z. T. Will
liams in the presence of a large circle
of relatives and friends, and the inter-
ment was in the Butler graveyard.

any price, and that one way is results

a few manufacturers of food pro-

if their brands do not prove best.
Such firms and their products should
be patronized. Among these are the

10 Our Patrons in Adair County

We have something like twelve hun
dred subscribers in Adair county. and
it is not often that a home man is
asked to pay his subscription, but the
time has come when we must deyiate
from that rule. We need every dollar
that is due the Office, and nine men
out of every ten have good idea how
his account stands, We believe every
one who is behind intends to pay, and
many of them can pay as we'll one day
as another. They are all good patrons,
but large per cent. of them have be-
came neglectful, feeling that we do
not need ready cash to run the bust
ness In that they are mistaken.
Just now we are compelled to pay 100
per cent. more for blank paper than
any other time since the News was
started, eighteen years ago. Just
think, A ton of paper, laid down at
our door, costs 10000, and the ton
lasting only seven weeks. Do you not
think we need money?

Mr.. Edgar Reed, Manager of the
Paramount Theatre, is making ar
engagements to take care Of what is ex-
pected to be the largest crowd that
ever attended a photo-play in Columbia
on July lst, at the showing of the
Battle Cry of Peace" the worlds
greatest photo spectacle. Preparedness
is the basis of the story, a question on
which the greatest men of our nation
agree.
"The Battle Cry of Peace" is said
to be just as much a dramatic story
as wartime spectacle. The story is
described as happy and forceful COM
bination of romance and tragedy with
a liberal sprinkling of comedy and
gayety.
Among the principals in the cast
are: Chas. Richmond, W. J. Furgu-
son, said to be the only surviving
member of the company which played
in Ford's theatre the night Lincoln
was assassinated, and Thias Lawton,
the Louisville actress, who is cast as
Columbia" Former President,
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Garrison,
Admiral Dewey, and other notables
appear in this picture.
This picture will be exhibited in the
afternoon and night, July 1st.
People from out of town should not
overlook the opportunity of Seeing this
show in the afternoon.
