To Tobacco Growers.

Having severed my connection with
the Greensburg Loose Leaf Ware
House Co., to accept a position as
sales Manager in a much larger and
better equipped plant of Campbells-
vile, KY. l wish to extend my thanks
to the farmers of Adair and surround
ing counties for the patience shown
me and for the unavoidable hardshipS
they were forced to undergo while
marketing their tobacco in Green's
burg.
The Modern equipped plant with an
immense and we'll lighted sales floor
with prize rooms in connection, each
installed with motor driven hydraulic
presses, will enable us. to handle our
patrons without delay or congestion.
The quarters for farmers and their
stock will be ample and commodious
The management is Sparing neither
pains or money to make and equip
this plant second to none in this Sec
tion Of the State. Every minor detail
that would pertain to the farmers in
terest has been carefully studied and
put into effect.
The force of buyers assure strong
competition and spirited bidding on
each and every grade.
The auctioneer whose efficiency in
his line is State wide and beyond
question, is a live wire and good
judge of tobacco.
Every farmer available to this mar
ket will find me there and as ever
ready and willing to render you my
services or impart any helpful infor-
nation in regard to the tobacco sit.
uatiOn
Trusting 1 may meet many familiar
faces from Adair and surrounding
territory, and shake the hand of hon.

Yours truly,

All Day Meeting at Columbia.
LaFOIIette and Powers Scored.

Last Sunday was devoted to dis
course and patriotic addresses at the
courthouse, the building being crowd
ed from IL M until 4:30 in the af
ternoon.
The first to address the assembly was
Rev. B. T. Watson, pastor Of the Pres
byterian Church, who de ivered a relig-
ious discourse, incidentally referring
to the war and the part our country
was playing in it. The discourse was
logical and delivered with great force,
appreciated by the entire audience
At the close of this splendid address
the congregation was dismissed for
dinner, which was spread Oh the Mil
Ter lot, on Water Street The spread
was magnificent affair, the good peO-
Pile of Columbia and out in the county
having prepared an abundance of the
very best of edibleS for the entire
crowd. At O'Clock the vast thrOng
returned to the court house, and the
first speaker was Judge W W JoueS,
who made q fine address in the inter-
est of the Red Cross, in which he re
cited all the wars in which the Unit.
ed States had engaged in, coming out
on top in every contest. A large mum
Der Joined the society at the close of
his address
Mrs. Annie NJ. Woodall, of the
Lindsey W ilson, followed with a very
appropriate reading which was highly
appreciated, it being rendered in a
manner so distinctly that there was
not stir while the lady was on the
floor.
The next was stirring patriotic
address by Ed. H. Gordon Bennett,
who is an able minister of the Chris
tian Church, now holding a meeting
at Cane Valley. He is a native of
Wisconsin,, but at present is located at
Lagrange, Oldham county, where he
found his wife. He is well-posted on
all the phases of the war, and he tells
his story in most forceful and enter
tanning manner. His language shows
conclusiVely that he is college man,
one who has made good use of his
time, During the course of his ad-
dress he said: "My first vote for a
Governor was cast for Bob Lafollette,
now in the United States Senate, who
at this time is disgrace to civiliza-
ton; that he should be expelled from
the Senate; that he is an enemy to
this country" He likewise scored
Caleb Powers, who he said was going
over the Eleventh district criticising
the Presidents war policy. This he
knew to be fact, as he was just from
the district that Powers is supposed to
represent He, too, he said should be
unseated in Congress.
His speech was
thrilling all through, and when he
closed there was prolonged applause,
The song service during the day was
made up of patriotic airs and they
we're rendered most beautifully by a
number of ladies and gentlemen.
All the ministers in town were pres
ent, each having part.
When the congregation was dis
missed every body was happy, know
ing that the dny had been very much
enjoyed,
