Looking Ahead.

1t will be a year from the coming
August primary until candidates for
county offices will be nominated, to be
voted for at the November election,
1917. While the time is some months
in the distance, candidates are pip
ping. Those who seem to be on the
inside say there will be four or five
Republican candidates for County
Judge, and one or more Democrats
will enter the contest. 1t is also said
there will be two or more Republican
candidates who will be before the peo-
pie for Sheriff, and one or two Demo
Gratis. Several Republicans are men,
toned for County Clerk, and only one
Democrat up to this writing. There
will be field full, of both parties, who
will statd for the Office of Assessor
The present incumbent will probably
be voted for to remain as the County
Coroner if he does not decline to ac-
cept the position.
Have heard nothing said as to a
change in the office of County Attor-
ney nor that of School Superintend-

Death OF a Fine Citizen.

Last Tuesday afternoon at $50
O'Clock, Mr.. Reuben Rucker Conover,
calmly and resignedly met his God.
The end came at his home, on the
BurkeSville pike, one mile from the
corporate limits of Columbia. He
died in the dwelling where he was
born and reared, and where he lived
eighty-Six years. When the end came
he was surrounded by his wife and his
two daughters, Misses Mabel and FL
la, his son, Robert, being in distant
State.
1t had been known for several
months that the end was gradually
approaching, hence the family was
prepared for the final dissolution,
knowing that the husband and father
was ready for the summons. For
more than forty years he was con-
sistent member of the Columbia Bap-
fist Church, and while in health was
a regular attendant at the Sunday
forenoon services.
In his long career he was known
and recognized as one of Adair coun-
tvs best citizens, and his death has
brought sorrow TO many homes. Ac-
cording to the Scriptures the death of
"a cody man is life. 1t is only the
changing of habitation - leaving
earthly loved ones to live forever in a
brighter and happier world.
He was the last of one Of the first
families of Adair county, and nearly
all his days were spent upon the farm
where he first saw the light of day.
His steadfast devotion to a life of
unadulterated honesty, at all times
reVerencing the God who made it pos
Sible for him to live comfortable and
happy, should be a pricely heritage to
the surviving companion and three
afectionate children.
The funeral services were conducted
wednesday afternoon, Rev. o. P.
Bush, of the Baptist Church oficiat.
ing. Many relatives and friends were
present. The interment was in the
family burying ground.

Important.

We are not yet out of the woods on
our Railroad proposition. Our COM
mittee is hesitating and will continue
to hesitate as long as people hold back
on the right of way.
1t is essential that the right of way
be donated.
Our people have so strained them
selves to get up the $50, 900 bonus that
they are unable to pay for the right
of way. Midtown has selected them
a route and have secured the right of
way nearly through Adair to the
Green county line.
The Cane Valley country should see
that the way is open to the Taylor
county line.
1t is too much to ask of our COM
mittee that it should become respon-
sible for the right of way in any part
of Adair county.
This right of way proposition is all
that is in the way. Sign up, gentle
men, or else we may fail at last.

ESCAMBIA WOMEN SHOULD BE
INTERESTED IN THE FAIR.

Ihere IS much cause Tor c0ngratu-
lation that the Woman's Department
of the Escambia County Fair will
again be conducted under the man
agement of Miss Fannie Caldwell,
who far several years has been at
the head of this department of fair
work, creating an interest among the
women of the county which has added
very materially to the success of the
fair.
The farmers of Escambia Copnty
have not suffered as heavily from
the recent storms as have the farm
ers of many other sections of the
United States, but the losses have
been considerable, nevertheless, and
it behooves the women Of the county
to do all that is possible towards MAX
ing the fair a success.
What can be accomplished by the
women on the farm has been wonder
fully demonstrated through the work
of Miss Lonny Landrurn, agent for
Escambia County, whose canning club
work and lessons in domestic science
have become of so much Importance
to the women of the county. What
Miss Landrum has taught. to the girls
of Escambia should be shared by
them with others, and the work they
will do for the fair is no less impor-
than the work which the other women
of the county, and especially the
women of Pensacola, should do to-
wards making the fair a success.
To many who enter articles at the
fair each year, the important feature
is the premium offered for the work
in which they are interested, but this
is by no means of paramount i'm
portance, but on the contrary is the
least thing to be considered.
Every woman of the county should
enter at least one article at the fair
and every effort should be made to in
sure this article being of the high
est quality. For it is quality that
should be the main consideration in
the exhibits at the fair, and not the
number of articles on display.
If every woman in the. county would
consider it her duty to make at least
one exhibit at the fair, and to see thai
that exhibit is Of the very highest
character, the Wonan's department. Of
the fair would reflect not only credit
upon those who enter for the prem,
iums, but would rebound to the inter,
est of Escambia county and West
Florida, and do very great part ~
wards tS .air's success.
