shown in shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, and foreign language, and prospective students in these courses are anxious to begin work at the earliest possible date.
 Present day efficiency in the in dustrial world render commercial training highly valuable asset to both men and women, and it is the purpose of the night school to offer thorough instruction in this line, at the least possible cost to the stu dent. The cost per pupil will neces- sarily depend upon the size of the class, and the lists are therefore be- ing held open to permit registration of all interested.
 All charges made will be applied upon the actual running expenses of the school The night school is in no sense a money-making institution, but course of instruction for those who are ambitious enough to take advantage of the opportunity offered.
 Registration in the citizenship de partment of the night school now numbers eight. Four more names are necessary for presentation of 8 petition asking for establishment of a Citizenship school
 This department offers splendid opportunity for securing to persons of foreign birth, the advantages of admission to the United States az citizens, an advantage which current history makes increasingly import ant.
 If you are seeking opportunity for advancement, greater efficiency, and broader knowledge, now is the time to register in the night school, either in the general department, or in the citizenship department; in either of which you will be given every assis. tance.
 The thoroughly equipped new school building of the Juneau public schools will be at the disposal of the night school students, and plans will be made to secure the fullest benefits of this arrangement All persons over the age of sixteen years will be welcomed.

companies will put down at least
eight wells in this county this spring
and summer. 1 am expecting a drill
ing outftin the next ten days if it
can possibly get here. 1t is very
heavy and the roads must be in good
order to get it here from the railroad.
There is no doubt but the county of
Adair will be developed, and 1 feel
sure that oil his here. Our first well
will be drilled on Crocus creek. There
are other companies who are coming
to Adair and will put down wells"
Mr.. Showers is very enthusiastic

for many years, and his opinion as to
territory is worth something. II oil
should be found here in paying guam

SUDDEN DEATH.
". |. Meader, WeII.Known Here,
Drops Dead at CampbeIIs.
vile.
FUNERAL SERVICE, SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Last Friday afternoon about 800
O'Clock, the citizens of Columbia were
notified that VIM. Isaac Meader, who
was reared in this place and lived
here until he was about twenty. six
years old, had suddenly died in the
suburbs of his home town, Campbells-
Vile.
The deceased had left his residence
and gone to a vacant lot that he own
ed on the Spurlington road, just out
side the corporate limits, where he
was having some work done. He left
the lot and went into the grocery
store, owned by Harmon White. He
called for cigar, lighting it, he re-
marked to Mr.. White "that he was
sick and for him to catch him, that
he was going to fall" Mr. White
went to him, but before he could be
lowered to the floor Mr.. Meaier was
dead, The alarm was given and the
body was removed to the residence of
the deceased, amid the tears and
screams of the strickened family.
w. |. Meader was born in Camp
bellsville about sixty years ago. His
father, Daniel Meadel, was a native
of Scotland and was a sculptor by
trade. He was married to Miss Mar
tina Barbee, of this place, about the
year 1854, and short time after this
marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Meader took
up their residence in Campbellsville
where the deceased was born. While
yet an infant his parents returned to
Columbia to live and it was here that
W. |. Meader resided until he was
about 26 years old, as stated above.
When quite young man he married
Miss Laura Gaines, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. F. P. Gaines, of Taylor
county, and with his young wife he
continued to live here for some time,
but in few years after their union
they removed to Campbellsville where
he resided continuously until his
death.
From boyhood he was an ardent
Democrat, taking an active part in
every election. About eight years
ago he was elected Circuit Court
Clerk of Taylor county, filling the DO.
sition for six years satisfactorily. He
was also an enterprising man, ever
ready to contribute of his earnings to
any move looking to the betterment
OF the community in which he lived.
Some years age he made a profes
sion of his faith in Christ, united with
the Christian Church, and for some
time before his demise was an officer
OF the congregation.
The funeral services were held Sum-
day afternoon, conducted by his pas
tor, ED. ". G.. Montgomery, who
paid high tribute to the life and char
acter of the deceased
Religious services over, the re-
mains were bourne to Brookside Gene
terry where they were deposited.
The deceased leaves a wife, two
daughters and one son. He also leaves
a sister, Mrs. Della MCGEE, of Somer-
set.
The sympathy of Columbia is ex-
tended to the family, trusting that
God will sustain them in the great
loss.
The funeral was attended by quite
number of relatives and friends of
this place.
The deceased was a good provider,
having $1,000 life insurance, hence
whatever debts he may have left can
be paid and his property saved for his
wife and children.
