that date Rev. Gillian became one of
the foremost ministers of that denomi-
nation in this section He was closely
associated in this work with the late
Rev B. A Ingram known to all settlers
as one of the great preachers of Drew

campaigns were held throughout the
country by these two men and much
good done by them.

A New Service For
Dermott

Mr.. S. B. Williams. Chief Photogra-
pher, United States Naval Air Service
(Discharged), has decided to locate IN
Southeast Arkansas. and is making
appointments for work in Dermott
His specially is Home Portraiture.
and he is fully equipped for this work.
This is the branch of Photography that
is steadily growing in popularity,
especially for children. because of the
greater ease of having the pictures
made, as the studio comes to you IN
stead of you having to go TO the studio
and because the pictures are made IN
natural surroundings.
1t is the case with everyone that when
pictures are made in their homes they
.Aare more at ease, and in this way the
usual stiff and unsatisfactory pictures
are avoided
Another point in favor OF Home Por-
traiture Is that ii gives the ARTIST a
chance to make al his work different,
as the furnishings of the homes are all
different, and in this way no two pictures
can resemble "a they do in studio pie

must be used.

The Greensboro Pike.

Messrs. G. W. Bledsoe, f. NJ. Flatt
and D. G. Allen, Greensboro, were here
last Wednesday, in the interest of a
pike from Columbia to their town.
This is a project that is worth the in
terest of the people of Adair county.
If we can get this road to Cumber-
land river, all our heavy goods could
come to Greensboro by boat, giving US
a much CHEAPER freight rate, and be-
sides it would help Adair county in
many other ways. Creelsboro pro-
poses to build it to Miller's store, and
they are in dead earnest. Something
like $4,000 has already beeni by
the citizens of the Greensboro section,
and they are anxious for Adair county
to get busy. II we want to grow. and
the opportunity is presented, we ought
to accept it, We hope some of ,oul
enterprising citizens will. take this
matter up and push it.

The Baptist Campaign has Its IT,
feet on the seminary.

Indirectly, yet because of the need
of trained leadership that is now be-
ing shown, the Baptist 10 Million Cam
paign has found one of its results al
ready in the number of preachers who
matricMated at the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Louisville at
its opening on October L. Altogether
there were 400 enrolled-classes with
123 of these ladies for the Woman's
Training School and about 80 wives Of
the preachers, but making total Of
about 23O preachers, which is the lar
gest number for three years. Educa
tion is one of the aims for this Cam.
paign and in Kentucky q per cent
will be given to education, which is
next to the highest percent, as 20 per
cent is given for missions.
This member taking a theological
course is very encouraging sign as
the Campaign will call for more
trained leaders than has ever been
needed before.

Waiting Results.

Some weeks ago Russell Karnes, of
this county, who was il Louisville,
went to the garage of Mr.. W. S. Ham,
ilton, in the city, and asked for car,
stating that he wanted to go to Leb-
anon to see his relatives. He paid Mr..
Hamilton fifty dollars for the hire of
the car and left, to return at a given
time.
C. A. Baranger, who is a Jefferson
comfy patrolman, was given the cir
custances, and was told to be on the
hunt of the car, after Karnes failed to
return to Louisville. He learned that
Karnes did not stop in Lebanon, but
came to Adair county where he sold a
Car to 10 Ed Karnes, and then took
his departure from the county.
Mr.. Hamilton, who is the loser, and
Mr. Baranger reached here last We'd
nesday night, and Thursday morning
Hamilton identified car in posses
session o. 10 Ed Karnes as the one
that Russell Karnes drove from his
garage. When the number of the Cal
was examined it proved to be different
from the one that was on Hamilton:
car when it left Louisville. While hi
was satisfied that the car belonged tt
him, he could not swear until he got
further information from the factory
and left for that purpose, and will re
turn in few days.

Farmers Union Picnic.

Notwithstanding it rained almost
constantly during the afternoon of
last Saturday, large crowd attended
the Farmers Union Picnic at Zion
Church. A large number of those in
attendance gathered in the forenoon,
and the church and school building
were used in the afternoon.
There were several splendid address
es, former Governor Lansdon,
of Kansas, delivering the princi-
pal discourse. He is practical far
mer and he furnished the Adair coun-
ty growers with much valuable infor-
nation, and all that he said was high
ly appreciated. The President of the
Association was also present and he
delivered some valuable information.
Local farmers also talked.
There was an abundance of dinner
consisting of the very best the coun
try produces. The music was delight
full, rendered by the Cane Valley
Brass Band
The inclement weather considered
the picnic was success. The mem
bers of the Union considered the il
formation impaired by the principa
speakers as very valuable, and tie,
feel that the local organizations o
Adair county have been greatly bene
fitted.

Open Streets.

Columbia can not grow faster Ln--
less territory is bought and streets
opened, and che corporate limits ex-
tended. Many beautiful streets could ba
opened if the territory could be secur-
ed. For instance, if street was
opened from the Greensburg road, be-
low Mrs. Lena Paull's residence to the
Glasgow road, more than a hundred
building lots could be laid of. This
move would depend altogether upon
the action of the property holders
If they are willing to sell the improve
ment could be started, as there ara
many who would be glad to buy lots
and build. The ones who own the
ground could perhaps get more for it
by selling in lots than any other way.
