Republican Rally.

Saturday night last one of the lar
gest crowds ever seen in Columbia at
a political meeting greeted the speak
ers at the Republican rally held at the
Court House. The speakers of the
evening were Miss Mona B. Price,
Louisville, Mr.. S. H. Kash attorney
at law, Corbin, KY, and County At
torney W. A CoffeY, the latter in his
usual effective and pleasing manner,
introducing the speakers from out Of
town.
Miss Price made an urgent appeal
to the women present, and mothers
in particular, to do their duty by ex-
ercising their right of suffrage, pre-
dieting that much good to the country
at large would result from women
taking an active part in politics
Mr.. Kash discussed current issues
paying particular attention to the
League OF Nations, and arraiging the
present administration for what he
claimed to be a reckless waste of NOR
ey and supplies, during the war.

Lamenlahle Death.

1t was generally known over Russell
county that Mrs. Prudy Phelps, of
jamestown, was in a critical condi-
ton, and that she was conveyed to a
Sanitarium in Somerset for treat.
ment. When she first entered the in
stitution her condition became bet

that there we're strong hopes of her
recovery.
About the middle OF the week COM
plications set up, and she rapidly
grew worse until the end came, on
Monday night following.
The remains were embalmed and
conveyed to her former home, James
town, and on Tuesday afternoon, after
funeral services, held at the Meth

This death is a great loss to James.

able old lady, one who had the re-.
spect of every body who knew her A
true, Christian woman, one who loved
her children and who was true to her
friends, at all times ready to lend a
helping hand to the unfortunate.
She was devoted to the Methodist
Church, an organization in which she
had held her membership for many
years, and was a liberal contributor
upon all the ordinances of the Church.
Mrs. Phelps was left a widow by
Capt. John L. Phelps some years ago,
her husband being a lawyer and
prominent in the affairs of Russell
county, and at her death she was
about seventy years old. To oul
knowledge she is survived by two
sons, Hon. Lilburn Phelps, prominent
lawyer, and Prof. Loren Phelps, who
are honorable citizens, standing high
in the county of their nativity.

A representative Of this paper was

big day and gas was burning in all the
stoves. In fact this old historic town
was putting on city airs. Woodson

An Old Story.

The following was related to the
editor of this paper by Mr.. Oscar Pile,
some years before his death.
In the year Of 1888 or 40 two four
horse teams and wagons drove into
the Tabor neighborhood. There
were three men and their wives and
three or four young women. the wag-
ons being heavily loaded with furni-
ture, the very finest, and bedding.
We can not recall the names they
gave, asrelated by Mr.. Pile, but they
were evidently assumed.
They at once endeavored to rent q
dwelling, but there was not a vacant
house in the neighborhood. Finally
they rented a large barn from man
named White, perhaps the father Of
Mr.. Curt White. They bought lum-
Der and had a floor laid in the build
ing, and also planked the sides, max
ing it comfortable They claimed
they were from one of the Southern
States, and were out prospecting.
After the barn had been made COM
Portable, their furniture placed, the
room being tidily arranged, people in
the neighborhood commenced to call.
They were found to be refined and eds
ucated, very iuteresting conversations
alist. They remained close at home,
and received no mail, and as to who
they we're it did not develop. They
were very quiet, and paid promptly
for every thing they purchased, buy
ing the best the country Afforded
The mystery aroused the whole
countryside, as no intimation Of their
ultimate intentions cropped out. -
After they had been here three
months baby was born to one Of the
young women, DR.. Samuel B. Field
being the attending physician. Three
weeks after this occurrence, the
neighbors noticed one morning that
the barn was empty, not a person
about it. During the night the so
iournsrs had loaded their wagons and
left. The direction they took was
not discovered
Their sudden departure aroused the
neighborhood, and many heads come
together to unravsl the mystery. The
conclusion was finally reached that
the mother of the baby had been be-
traysd, and that she was removed
from her Southern home in order to
hide her shame; that the baby was
placed in a nursery, and that the
Southern town from which she hailed
was not made wise to the occurrence.
We doubt If there is a person in Adair
county at this time who remembers
the circumstances.

There is no enterprise that town

and all residents should get behind

we have had little service, but not
enough to satisfy. A great deal of bust.
ness is transacted here after sunset,
and for awhile it was conduct
ed with some degree of salts
faction, but on account of a
mishap at the plant, the town
has been very poorly lighted, and much
complaint has been expressed. Mr..
Smith, who is the contractor, states
that he has made every effort to get
the repairs Tor his engine, and only
last week they arrived, but a man
from the company has not reached
here to put it together up to this
time Thursday morning) and it is not
known when he will arrive We do
not want to throw stones at anyone,
but we want whoever is responsible
for the present condition of affairs to
get move on him and give Us lights.
We can not depend upon water max
ing the power for the reason that
when the creek is too low service can
not be rendered, and when it is too
high the turben wheel can not run.
If Mr.. Smith continues as the opera
tor, the town should get behind him,
and if some other man should take
over the plant, he should have the
united corporation Of the business
men and those who carry lights in
residences. The present situation is
aggravating, and the quicker it, is
remedied, tie better for all concerned
