Two weeks ago there, was a CHATEAU
qua in Columbia and it was supported
almost exclusively by residents of the
town and by people living out in the
county. Notwithstanding it received
but little patronage from adjacent
towns, it paid out leaving surplus of
one hundred dollars. Columbia is
prospecting and the reason for her ad-
Vancement is that envy does not rank
in the bosom of its citizens. AS proof
of this statement, Campbellsville now
has Chautauqua in progress, and on
last Saturday more than two hundred
persons who live in Columbia and out
in the county were in attendance.
See the difference?

Mr.. G. c Bates, of Jamestown, is a
Republican candidate for Jailer of
Russell county, and is active in the
canvass. While in jamestown, last
week, he informed a News man that
his prospects for the nomination were
fiattering. He understands how to
conduct canvass, and we predict
that he will see every Republican in
Russell county before the primary.
He goes upon the idea that in order to
run successful race is to meet the
voters, telling them face to face the
principles for which he stands. Mr..
Bates is running upon very inviting
platform which we will publish a lit
tie later. In the meantime he courts
investigation. believing that the Re-
publicanS of Russell county will con-
clude that he is the man to nominate,
and should he be the choice of his
party, he promises that no man who
supports him will ever be given a
cause to regret his action, as he will
do his duty, treating all prisoners ex-
actly alike.
