Jamestown Loses a Prominent
Citizen.

Last Friday night at the IL O'Clock
hour, MI. G.. Frank Jones, who was
one of the best known men in Russell
county, crossed over and is at rest on
the other side. He was born and
reared at James town and never lived
elsewhere, and was about seventy
two years old when the end came.
His wife was Miss Belle Atkins, Sis
ter of Mrs. Kinnie Murrell, this place.
She died about sixteen years ago,
leaving four children, three daughters
and one son. One of the daughters
died about ten years ago, the other
three were at his bedside and also Mrs.
Murrell when the dissolution came.
The deceased was for many years
deputy clerk for the county clerks
office and the circuit clerks office.
For great many years he was drug
gist in jamestown, and while in that
capacity he became acquainted
throughout the county of Russell, his
store being headquarters for the coun-
try people when they came to town.
Some years ago he divided his real
estate equally with the three living
children, and since that transfer he
made his home principally with his
daughter, Mrs. o. d. Smith. A por-
tion of his time was spent with his
other daughter, Mrs. Elmer Wheat,
and with his son, Mr.. Abner Jones,
who lives at Burnside.
When a young man the deceased be-
came member of Jamestown Mason,
ic Lodge, and soon after he was
made Master Mason, he was elected
treasurer of the Lodge and held that
position when he died.
He was man who will be greatly
missed, as the name, frank Jones, was
familiar to every body throughout
that section.
The funeral services were held Sum-
day morning at 10 o'clock. After the
religious exercises the Masonic Fra
ternity was in charge.
The interment was in the town GEM
etery and the attendance was very
large To the children and grand
children and all other relatives, this
paper sends its deepest sympathy,
trusting that God will comfort them
in their great loss.
Floral designs were sent in by many
friends and they were beautiful.

Sad Parting.

There were many moist eyes in Co
lumbia last Tuesday afternoon when
thirty-six of our young men bid adieu
to home folks and friends and left for
Camp Zacaray Taylor at the call of
our country. At the sound of the
bugle the young men assembled in
the Parlor Circle Theater building
and marched to the Courthouse where
a mass meeting was held. The minis
tiers of the churches of Columbia, Rev.
Piercy, Bush, Schad, Watson, all
made speeches appropriate to the &C.
caSion and since Ed. Williams was
absent ED. Huffaker represented him.
Also addresses were made by Prof.
R. r. Moss, Judge w. w. Jones, W.
A. Coffey and ]. n. ConoVer. A large
f1ag-the stars and stripes, waved in
the breeze, and america" was sung.
1t was meeting that showed appre-
citation on the part of our citizens,
love for the cause, sympathy and good
cheer for the young men who are to
fight the battles for freedom. No set
of young men are responding to the
call of our country with more vim or
better nerve than those of Adair and
there is not a fear that a truant will
be found in her full quota. They will
do their duty in battle as they have
done at home. 1t is but natural that
the parents of the young men who are
called to serve our country under the
selective service law, feel sad when
the parting hour arrives, but sadas the
parting may be, and as much as we
may regret the world condition and
the part our country was forced by IN
bearable circumstances to take, the
fact remains that duty must be done,
victory achieved and anent
peace secured for all nations. There
is a vast difference between hope and
reality, between desire and actuality,
what we cherish and what we hate.
The people of this country love peace
and hate war: they cherish and love
freedom, and abhor and resent enslave-
ment to others. They know the cost
OF freedom through the history of the
colonies: they know its cost of MAIN
tenance by the sacrifices of the rebell-
ion. To-day we face condition, not
OF our choosing, not of our desires, but
condition thrust upon US and must,
and is being met with all the powers
of the country's resources. When our
young men have crossed the
waters and have proven powerful fac
tors in silencIng the guns supporting
autOcracy. When they have dis
charged their duty to home and the
world then it will be a glorious return,
glorious victory, and the weeping
mothers will be shouting saints of a
peace vouched safe for future gener-
ations. There are no tories in this
! section, none who are resisting duty.
The young men of Adair have the
nerve, courage and patriotism and
while We regret the world war in
wolves our country, mothers and IA
theirs, bid them do their duty, and
may God bless and protect them
from harm and danger.

Mr.. Paul Waggeners who is farming
this year has been up and doing, judg-
ing from his crops. 1t was a pleasure
for the News man to inspect Mr.. Wag-
gsner's crops one day last week, and
especially to find diversified operation
that will contribute to the needs of
the American people. He has asplen-
did acreage In extra good corn, more
than an acre in Cannon potatoes that
promise large yield, field of buck
wheat for the swine, a number of
acres in peas, and small tobacco
crop. All his crops are fine and show
to have been properly handled except
the Burley, which seems to be of the
small variety. At any rate Mrs. Cen
over, his aunt, has been fortunate in
securing his services as a farmer, and
he has demonstrated his ability to
handle the earth as we'll as his fellow
men in the sale of De Lux Calendars.

Good Floor for Poultry
, House Is of Importance;
, Concrete Best Material

! The floor in the poultry house Is
worthy of more consideration than II
usually receives, as a substantial fooi
Is necessary to keep the flock warm
and dry as well as to exclude rats ano
moisture. The wooden floor costs
more than concrete if you place the
concrete without hiring skilled labor
and the concrete is perfectly warm
when covered with a deep litter and ii
can be thoroughly cleaned whenever
the litter s removed.
The dirt floor is the least desirable
of all floors in a poultry house as when
the house is cleaned a portion of the
dirt will be removed and in the winter
1t is difficult to obtain a supply OF
clean dry dirt. Rats easily dig into the
poultry house when the dirt floor is
used and as the rats burrow up
through the litter it is sometimes diff
cult to find out where they enter with
out cleaning out quite a portion OF
the litter or hunting a long time fol
their place of entrance. Board floors
are of curse necessary in colony
houses which are to be move fire.
quently, but the concrete floor is now
considered by practical poultrymen to
be the only safe and substantial man
ner of building the floor in a modern
poultry house.
The concrete foundation for a poul'
try house can be made at least eight
or ten inches above the ground and II
should then be filled with at least
three inches of tightly packed cinders
or coarse gravel. Over this place the
concrete mixture in the proportions OF
one part of cement to six parts OF
gravel and spread it out with a plas.
~terer's trowel to a depth of two inches
The mixture will spread better ii
plenty of water is added during the
mixing and it is quite sloppy. Before
the first cement mixture has set cover
the surface with a half-inch layer OF
a mixture containing one part cement
to three parts of coarse sand instead
of gravel. A foundation of this height
allows the sill to be above the fiooi
and this prevents rotting. 1t is also
best to tile the ground under the
poultry house unless it is very well
drained and when on a well drained
site thing will take away the moisture
that lies just under the surface of this
soil as well as the surface water and
in that way the house is given an ideal
situation as far as drainage and per
manent foundation are concerned.
