Farm Lands.

Why farms are selling so high 10
Adair county is discussed In nearly
every groupe Of men you meet, and
various reasons are given. but to our
mind the most potent one Is this: Il
is not known that farm lands are sell
ing too high, but it is known that in
recent years more money has been
made at farming than any other Oc-
cupation, and farmers have Just be-
gun to realize how profitable land is.
Tobacco and other products have been
bringing big money in the last few
years, and cultivators who have not
been working their land as they should
have become stimulated by seeing the
high prices that their nelghbors have
been getting and they have gone to
work in earnest. For instance, a man
buys farm, say for 5000, goes to
work and pays for il within three
years with products off the farm. Is
that not good financieriDg? The in
dustry of others is what is causing
men to pay what seemingly is high
price, when in reality they are getting
their moneys worth.

oil Outlook.

Mr.. D. P. Weeks, formerly of Dan
vile, KY, but now making his home
in Columbia, KY, and President Of
the Frico Oil and Refining Company
returned to Columbia Thursday to
take up permanently the work Of the
above Company. Mr.. Weeks In talk
ing of the oil prospects of this county
seems very confident that our Com
pany win hit oil in paying quantities
near the town He says he has pretty
well looked over the territory, and has
never seen better prospect for oil.
He states that his aim will be to give
this territory thorough test out and
has made arrangements for drilling
machine to come in as soon as the
Company has as much as six
thousand dollars in the bank here.
The machine will be able to be able
to 60 at least two Thousand feet If
necessary to find the oil. Arrange
ments have been made for the placing
of considerable stock of the Company
in the North, as soon as the Company
has had the proper support at home,
and it will be the policy of the Com
pany to employ every method possible
to prevent any loss to any stockholder,
therefore If no oil is found in Adair
county, enough money will be with
held to secure production in Wayne
county in proven oil territory. Speak
ing of Oil stock Mr.. Weeks was in
Wayne county last week and witnessed
the coming in of very fine we'll be-
longing to Company in which he is
a large Stockholder, and says that one
week ago this stock was not actually
worth twenty-five cents on the dollar,
and today it is considered worth three
dollars as this we'll will put this com.
pany on good dividend paying basis,
and if he had bought this stock on the
terms that the Trico Company stock
is being sold, he would have his iwholt
investment back within the inext
thirty days. The "News" is far from
jumping at conclusions, or putting
anything in its columns that will mis-
lead its readers, but in iuftice to our
selves and our readers we feel, thai
we cannot too strongly endorse TIT
Trico Company, and insist that al
who can afford to put some money il
and lets see what we have here W,
all know the men behind the Com
pany and know that our money viii
be spent iudiciously, so let's get be
hind the company and start a vel
drilling.

Death Of Walton Reed.

Mr.. Walton Reed, who was the old
est son Of the late Rev. Geo. J. Reed,
who was q well-known minister Of the
Presbyterian Church, and for many
years the pastor Of the congregation,
this place, died at the home Of his
sister, Miss o. NJ. Reed, last Wednes-
day night at 7:45, In the sixty-eighth
year Of his age, being sixty-seven in
the month of December, just passed.
The deceased had been a resident
of Columbia since the fall of 1854, his
parents removing from Shelbyville,
KY, to Columbia at that time.
When he was about four years old,
he had a very severe attack of typhoid
fever, the disease leaving him in a
very pitiful condition, though he was
able to work about his fathers farm
and residence until about eighteen
months ago.
He was known to every body in Co.
lumbia and its surroundings and ev-
cry body had the profoundest respects
for him. He was independent, hav-
ing q competency, and contributed
literally to the Presbyterian Church
and upon its ordinances, from youth
up, having made a profession of his
faith in Christ, uniting with the con-
gregation when small boy.
He was strictly honorable, and had
no patients with law breakers.
His familiar form will be missed
about this place, but the one who will
miss him most, is his sister. Miss o.
tavia, who was constantly associated
with him for number of years.
His two nephews, G.. r. and Edgar
w. Reed, we're very attentive at his
bedside for weeks and nights before
the end came. Their devotion to
their afflicted uncle is commendable
and has been very noticeable. The
deceased every wish was gratifed,
and when his spirit left this world Of
sin and sorrow, his sister, nephews
and friends had the satisfaction OF
knowing that they did all that they
could.
The funeral services were held in
the Presbyterian church Friday fore
noon at 10 o'clock and were conducted
by Rev. B. T. Watson, his pastor
There were many beautiful flowers.
The interment was in the city Gem
etery.

This is the OH Age.

From throughout the world comes
the cry for increased petroleum. As
the advantages Of oil as fuel becomes
more and more recognized the demand
increases. Figures complied By sta
tisticians show the oil consumption In
the United States exceeds the supply,
and in addition to this foreign coun-
tries are calling for our products.
Manufacturers threatened with coal
shortage are inquiring Of oil ccmpa-
mics for specifications on cost chang
ing equipment, and for prices for a
fuel supply. Already many eastern
manufactures, also other large con-
Germs, have substituted oil for coal
and the late coal strike has acceler-
ated this displacement to such an ex-
tent that prices for crude oil are ad-
vancing by leaps and bounds.
AS the advantages for oil as fuel be-
comes recognized its use is being rap
idly extended, and once an industry
uses fuel oil for its power requirements,
it will never return to coal.
Never before have prospects been
so bright for oil development in the
United States, as at present, and
prospecting oil companies should be
one of the best and safest invest
ments for not only those Of small
means, but also men of large capital
as we'll.
An opportunity is offered our local
people at present to assist in the oil
development of Adair County by buy
ing stock in our HOME COMPANY,
and every dollar you invest. in same
will be kept here and expended in
drilling operations right at your
door where you can see and know
what is being done with your money.
Such development will not only mean
much for the investors individually
but also for the community at large.

1t is very gratifying to know that
Adair county has escaped the flu thus
far this winter. At this time Colum.
bia is exceedingly healthy and the
schools are in a prosperous condition,
and the business of the town is good.
This time last year the flu was in our
midst, and there we're many deaths
throughout the county, and the raw
ages of the disease did its work
throughout the State. Is not good
health and prosperous conditions
generally something for which to be
thankful? Should we not thank the
Giver of all that is good and His loving
protection? Ministers often ask for
the unexpected. Do not pray for
something you do not expect, but re-
turn thanks for the good he has done,
and ask him to continue his blessings.
