A Brilliant Address.

Rev. Geo. H. Crowell, President
elect of Logan College, Russellville,
delivered the baccalaureate address
before the student body and gradual
ing class of the LipdSey-Wilson, at
the Methodist church, last Sunday
forenoon. The building was crowded
to its capacity and many chairs were
occupied.
The address was brilliant, showing
that 1t required time and much re-
search in its preparation, and was, de-
livered in a very forcef1l manner. If
the students who were sitting in
front of the speaker were not inspired,
language will not move them. The
advice given the student body was
told in an earnest and plain manner,
the entire audience being electrified.
In fact, it was one of the best bacca-
laureate sermons ever delivered in Co
-lumbia, and when finished the speak
er was complimented by all in attend
ance. The special music by the choir
was unusually good.

Mr.. P. P. Wesley, who lives in the
Little Cake precinct, has been a can
didate for School Superintendent of
Adair county for sometime, and in
this issue of The News he makes his
formal announcement. Mr.. Wesley is
a Republican and his candidacy is sub
ject to the action of his party. He is
a farmer and teacher and is also one
of the public spirited men of the
county. He has stood for every prop
osition looking to the internal ad-
vancement Of Adair, believing that if
we ever prosper to any great extent
we must get out of the ruts. He is
we'll educated, perfectly familiar with
the school laws of Kentucky, and he
feels that he could fill the Office of
County Superintendent to the perfect
satisfaction of all teachers and pa
irons of the schools. His fidelity to
the Republican party has been as true
as is the needle to the pole, working
for the success of his party nominees
in every election. He feels that he is
not asking too much of his friends in
calling upon them for their support
in this contest. Should he be nomi-
mated, he promises to canvass every
nook and corner Of the county, using
all honorable means to win at the No
vember election. His district is be-
hind him, and he urges his friends
throughout the county to become &C
tive in his interest. As for himself,
he will not be idle from now until the
primary.
