Flower Garden.

There is nothing more attractive to
ladies and also to men of delicate and
refined taste, than beautiful flower
garden. Last week the roses at the
home of Mrs. John D. Lowe were in
full bloom, the varieties being numer
Gus, and the odor arising from them
sweet and fragrant Many living in diff
ferent parts of town made iJ point
to see the attractive display. These
flowers were cultivated by Mrs Lowe
and her Two daughters, Misses Mary
Lucy and Leonora, who have proven
themselves ladies of exquisite taste.
At this season of the year home
minus flo wers, indicates that the del
icate hand of a woman has been toe
busy in other affairs, and that the
most beautiful plants, the ones that
make the residence attractive to the
eye, have been neglected.

he proved to be quite an orator and
very fluent speaker: He denied
that he was candidate for Congress
on his record as y private soldier in
the World War, but stated that he
would not exchange the experience
that he received from priVate's
standpoint for any oricer; that he en-
listed to obey orders that while in the
service he would have blacked the
shoes of Col. Rip1 or Capt. Swope had
he been ordered to so do. Now be was
10 a position to give some orders him
self, and that when the primary was
over Judge Gilbert and Co'. Ripy
would take back seats, and when the
November election was over he would
have the scalp Of Capt. Swope dang
ling at his side. He referred to Capt.
Swope as the ''post card edition %
The speech was oratorical, forceful,
and in our judgment made the speak
ser a great many votes.
In justice to Col Ripy' We will state
that the only reference he made to
his army record was a compliment he
paid the men who were under him.

A Letter From Bro. Watson.

A private letter from Rev. B.. T.
Watson will be of interest, especially
to the people of Columbia and in the
boundary Of Union Church.
Since reaching Providence, KY,
his mind underwent a change. The
manse at Providence is yet, to be
erected and it would take all summer
to build tr. He says:
II received very fiattsring call
from Lewisburg, Tenn, and on
on account of the many conVsnisnces,
1 think the change should have been
made. At Lswisburg they have a
newly fitted manse, with all modern
accommodations, the finest of water,
nice peach orchard, good garden
grapes, shade trees and blue grass
yard. The proposition accepted in
creases my salary aud 1 am given
four weeks vacation each year.
Lewisburg has a population of $500
and pixies leading from the town in
every directioA.
THE Church is made of pressed
brick, trimmed in stone, with base
ment and Sunday-School room.
MRS Watson has returned from the
sanitarium greatly improved. She
gained ten pounds and sleeps much
better. Since her return we have
been to Princeton, KY, spending sew
eral days with Mrs. Wstsons sister
Mrs. Young"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Watson send
their best wishes to their Columbia
friInds.

SATURDAYS SPEAKING.
All Three Of the Democratic Can
didates for Congress Make
Addresses.
AUDIENCE LARGE AND VERY ATTENTIVE


hundred and fifty voters quit the
plo> and laid down the hoe long
enough to hear the three Democratic
candidates present their claims for a
seat in Congress.
Mr.. Gordon Montgomery, who was
the Chairman Of the meeting, made
splendid short address, giving the
present Governor of Kentucky Keen
rap for failing to keep the promises
he made the people before the No
vember election: that he promised to
lower the taxes: that they were high
or than ever before known in Ken
tucky, and that instead Of doing
away with useless offices he had cre-
ated more, thereby increasing the
burden already upon the people. In
closing his remarks he introduced
Col. Frank L. Ripy, Of Anderson
county.
The Colonel took the stand and said
khat1t afforded him much pleasure to
speak to an Adair county audience,
many before him he met several
weeks ago, upon a former visit. He
did not think that the prohibition
question should have been brought
into the canvass; that it was a dead
issue, having been settled by State
and Federal amendment; that if we
are to be a law abiding people, the
manufacture and sale of ardent spirits
vas at an end. He did not think the
question should be discussed until af-
ter the platform of the National
convention has been written and
adopted. He stated that he was per-
fectly willing to stand upon the prin,
ciples snunciatsdsaAs-Saa Francisco.
The Colonel also spoke of national is,
sues, praised Woodrow Wilson and his
magnificent administration, and de-
nounced the tactics used by Senator
Lodge and his followers in the pres
ent Congress Altogether he made a
good, clean speech, and added more
names to his string Of voters in thi!
county.
Mr. Montgomery then introduced
Judge Ralph Gilbert, of Shelby coun
ty, who took occasion TO pay a high
compliment to Columbia and Adai
county for the splendid public mer
she had produced, men who wer,
prominent in the affairs of the State
He said that he had been a farme

tobacco, and that he was familia
