RumorS Of Strike Premature.
Rumors of strike in the Jerome

is that the Jerome Verde has not dis
covered anything to get excited about.
At $50 feet the Columbia shaft OF the
jerome Verde passed through a 20
foot ledge Of iron closely resembling
copper glance and at first generally
perts. This ledge dips to the east.
Now the shaft has reached 1850 feet
and q station IS being cut preparatory

For some months the Jerome Verde
has had a diamond drill working In its
ground from the 1400-foOt level OF the
Extension. The drill last week passed
through over 100 feet OF quartz por-
phyry showing more or less finely dis
seminated copper sulOhide. The indi-
cations for the discovery OF a large
body OF ore in the Jerome Verde. with
a little more exploration. are certainly
good.

Put Your Order In Now.

We learn from a representative of
the Buchanan Lyon Company, who
handle the Ford machine that they
expect to experience a great deal of
annoyance this spring and summer by
the failure to get cars shipped imme-
diately after an order goes in There
is such demand for the Ford car
that it is going to be impossible to
have them manufactured as rapidly as
the trade demands From what we
gather there are several persons in Co.
lumbia and quite number who live
out in the county, who expect to buy
machines this season, and our advice
to them is, give the Buchanan Lyon
Company an order now, and by so do
ing your machine will be booked and
will arrive as quickly as possible.
This Local firm caters to the trade of
Adair county, and makes it point to
notify their customers when bargains
are in sight. Remember that if. you
Contemplate buying a Ford, it will be
to your interest to get in communities
tion with the Buchanan Lyon Com.
pany, CappbellsVille, KY, or SanduS
KY Bros, Columbia KY. This last
named firm, who work in conjunction
with the Buchanan Lyon Company,
are now building large garage in Co
lumbia for the purpose of storing ma
chimes, keeping them in drst-cla re-
pair, an experienced macbinist being
in their mploy.
The firm of Buchanan Lyon Compa
ny besides handling cars, have bought
an unusually large stock of buggies
wagons, and all kinds of farm machin
cry, harness, ETC., which they propose
to sell at short profits.

Highly Enjoyable.

Miss Mary Chambers class in eX-
preston, Campbellsyille, gave two
plays at the ALEXANDRIA theatre last
Wednesday evening. The News-Jour-
nal writes as follows concerning it:
The first on the program was play
entitled 1.-THE Tramp's Convention +"
There we're fourteen characters, and
all played their parts well. The jokes
and specialtieS were new and up-to-
date, and of the kind that made the
audience laugh from start to finish.
During the intermiSSion, the piano
duet by Misses Vera Colvin and Vir-
ginia Gowdy could not be surpassed
anywhere Next on the program was
the play entitled 1.-THE Clancy Kids, -
presented by the young girls. This
cast is hard to beat and of which our
little city can boast the best to be
found in the State of Kentucky.
All play ed their roles as professionals,
and we hope to see them present an.
other play in the near future.
The music rendered by Miss Emma
Black and the sNeet voices were en-
joyed by the entire audience, and al
present spent a delightful evening.
The house was filed to its fullest ca
pacity.

Greatest Battle Of War.

London, April II That the Araas
conflict will develop shortly into the
greatest battle of the war was the
prediction made by Maj. Gen. E. B.
Maurice, chief director of military
operations at the War Office, in his
weekly interview with the Associated
Press to-day.
Gen. Maurice declared the present
British offensive was being conducted
according to plans completed IN Feb
ruary, thereby controyerting the
claims of the Germans that their re-
treat had upset the British schedule
and that the Teutonic military az
thorities control the situation.
The British losses during the first
two days of the offensive we're only
half what they had been in the cor
responding time in the Somme often
sive, Gen. Maurice declared.

Mr.. G. T. RaSner a Candidate.

Mr.. G. T. Rasner, who has been
feeling his way for several months, an
nounces his candidacy for Jailer in
to-day's News, subject to the action
of the Republican party. Mr.. Rasner
became a citizen of Columbia twenty
years ago and during all that time he
has been law abiding and has favored
every enterprise that had for its pro-
motion the advancement Of Adair
county. He, at all tines, has been
loyal to the Republican party, sup
porting its nominees in every contest,
and he feels at this time it is not ask
ing too much of his friends to solicit
their support in this contest. Some
years ago he was candidate for the
same position, but was defeated in a
nominating convention by a small ma
jority. He is going TO use his utmost
endeavors to. win in the coming pri-
mary, and he will be truly thankful
for the support and influence Of his
friends. The office of Jailer is very
important, and he promises, that
should he be nominated and elected,
to make a faithful official. He will
endeavor to canvass all the precincts
of the county before the primary, and
all efforts in his behalf, upon the part
Of his friends, will be duly appreciated.

We further stated that Mr.. Gordon

the raise was unjust. They returned

that they had succeeded in getting
the raise reduced to per cent. which
