took to ride the roller, and while on

the roller and the latter passed over
his body. His left arm was so badly
crushed that it. had to be amputated,

Farmers Union.

Mr.. j. V. Dudley, who is one of the
leading spirits of the Farmers Union
organization, and is also the correspon-
dent of this paper, from Montpelier,
writes US concerning short article
we published last week concerning the
statements of a speaker, who address
ed the Union at Cane Valley. Mr..
Dudley misconstrued our article. We
did not say one word against the opera
tion nor the organization of Unions.
If we were correctly informed the
speaker told the audience to go to
Lexington for their needs in the way
Of merchandise and our conclusion
was, as the Farmers Union had a
store at Cane Valley, it was the one
for local farmers, especially those who
are members of the Union to pat
ronize. We are still of that opinion.
We further believe that the organiza-
ton can sell just as cheap in their
,Adair County stores as can be bought
at Lexington. 1t was an effort to
drive away home trade that the News
objected to and we thought every far
mer would so understand the article
which appeared in the paper last
week
The Farmers Union, in our judge
ment, is encouraged throughout
Adair County, and so far, we have
never heard man kicking against the
organization.
We hope the above reasons for pub
fishing the article last week will be-
satisfactory TO Mr.. Dudley.

Pike to Greensboro.

The people Of Creelsboro and its vi
ciuity are in dead earnest about build.
ing a pike to Chenille, this county.
They are taking subscriptions and at
this time have eighteen thousand
dollars subscribed. They propose to
build the pike to Bryan Miller's store.
which is two miles above Chenille,
but they will not start the work un-
til sufficient amount of money has
been paid in to build it to that point.
OF course it is expected and it is be-
lieved that the Glensfork people will
build to the store. 1t is also believed
that Columbia and the citizens living
along the route from here to Glen
vile will build it to that point. This
pike would connect us with Cumber-
land river. This done all our heavy
freight could be shipped by water to
Creels boro, making our freight bills
about one.haIf what hey are. This
is project worth the attention of the
business men of Columbia, and the
people along the line.

Dwellings for rent are very scarce in
Columbia. People are here every
week, wanting to locate, but they fail
to secure house. The fact is, there
are no vacant lots upon which dwell
ings could be erected. Furthermore,
there will not be any until streets are
opened. The only way for this town
to grow is for the people who own
building sites, is to open their lots
with streets. Nice lots inside the
corporate limits would bring good
money.

Build a Hospital.

A hospital for the benefit Of per-
sons who become afflicted in Adair
and adjoining counties should be es-
tablished at Columbia. We have
competent surgeons and physicians
here, who would take pride in such
an institution, and its convenience
would be great saving to the people.
There has not been year for a long
time but large sum Of money has
been expended in Louisville by affiict-
ed persons, when the same attention
could have been given here at home,
but for the lack of building to care
for the sick. This building would
have to be erected with money SUBJ
scribed as stock, and those who have
looked into the cost of such an insti
tuition believe that it would pay a
good dividend on the investment. 1t
would be move that would require
an effort, but il the sentiment of those
who are able to invest should become
manifest, it will be no trouble TO find
a competent person to solicit the &C.
essary stock. An organization would
have to be perfected aud a board of
directors elected. Such a building is
certainly needed in Columbia, and we
believe it would be a paying invest
ment, as patients would come from
all adjoining counties.

1t has been suggested that on &C
count of the. destruction of the streets
of Columbia that all automobiles be
licensed. Those who advocate the
levying of license tax say that the
motor machines are very destructive,
more Sd than any other kind of We
hicle, and in justice to the property
tax payers, who keep up the streets,
the machine owners, who operate
them, should pay license. The
smaller the car the less the tax seems
to be the idea. This is matter for
the City Fathers to consider.
