The Adair County news., 1919-04-09

Columbia, was shaking hands
with our people one day last
week.
We all regret to note that two
of our best citizens of this part
Of the county are going to leave,
Messrs. u. N. and E. S. Whit
lock, of Bliss. They are both
up-to-date business men and
have been a great help to this
county in progressing every
thing that is for the county.
They have bought farms in
Marion county. Mr.. Ed and
family will leave in a few days
for their new home and his
brother will move later. We
certainly can commend these
good peoples to any community.
We are glad to note that our
community at this time, is clear
of flu, whooping cough, measles
and all other contagious diseases
so far as we know, and our reg.
ular services, preaching and
Sunday school work will be
pushed. We have recently
learned that our two Sunday
schools, that were held at our two
churches, one in the morning
and the other in the afternoon,
have consolidatedIand there will
be only one Sunday school in
our city as we get it. The school
will be held three months at the
Methodist church, using Metho-
dist literature while at the Meth
odist church::and next quarter at
the Baptist church, using Bap-
fist literature. We trust this
change in the schools will be for
the best interest of the commu-
nifty at large, and we will be
able to get more people interest
ed and have a much larger at
tendance.
Rev. B. T. Watson will preach
a Easter sermon at Union on
the resurrection, the third SUM-
day. If you want to hear a
good sermon, come out on the
third Sunday. There will be
some preparation for: decoration
of the church, preparatory for
Easter.
Something like four months
ago, while your reporter was out
| in his lot, where he had several
hands slaughtering his hogs, he
dropped from his pocket a very
valuable gold watch, something
he appraised next to his help
mate, and as soon as it was as
certained that his watch was
gone, every hand was called
from labor, and a diligent search
was made for every step that
was made by him and the lost
property could not be found.
While it was gone four long
months and no one ever heard
of it. the valuable watch came
up very mysteriously one evening
last week in a very public place
