The Lebanon Enterprise publishes
the following truthful paragraph
"The man who saves something every
year is on the road to prosperity. 1t
may not be possible to save much. If
not, save little. Do not thing that
a dollar or dime is too small sum
to lay by Everybody knows how
little expenditures get away with
large sums. A few seem to know that
the rule is one that works both ways.
A dime spent here and a dollar spent
there soon makes a large hole in a
mans income, so do dimes and dollars
laid away soon become a visible and a
respectable accumulation. In this
country any man can make himself in
dependent or keep himself under the
harrow for life, according to the way
he saves his small change.

Death Of Cassius Hood.

The passing of this well-knowr
young man was not surprise to his
many friends, as he was afflicted with
pulmonary trouble, and had been al
invalid for more than year. He wal
only about twenUy-seven years old
He realized his condition and las,
year he went to North Carolina, hop,
ing to ,prolong his years, but there
was no improvement, and a few
months ago he returned to his home,
remaining in his room until the end
which occurred last Wednesday morn
ing at o'clock.
The funeral was conducted Thurs
day morning at 9 O'Clock and the in
terment was in the Cox cemetery, a
large circle of sympathizing relatives
and friends being present.
The deceased was the second son of
Mr. and Mrs. Greed Hood, and was
born and reared where he died, three
miles out Of Columbia, on the Camp
bellsville pike.
The deceased served in the World
war, and the hardships he encounter
ed in the army probably shortened
his life.
He was patriotic, loved his country
and was willing to die for it. 1t was
while he was in the army the surgeon
of his regiment told him that on ac-
count of his failing health, he could
secure for him his discharge. Cassius
fatty refused, saying that he entered
the army to serve, and that he had no

row.
He was young man of sterling
character; and was favorite of the
young people in his neighborhood,
He was preceded to the grave by
sister and his father, their deaths oc-
curing only a, few months ago.
May the blessing of God comfort
the surviving members of the house
hold is the wish of every body in the
neighborhood. Cassius could not get
we'll. and as he was ready for his Mas.
ter's call, they should rejoice that he
is now free from suffering, and that
after awhile there will again be a
united family. t@ ">

Over The Top.

The drive for $1,000 by the Metho-
dist people of Columbia Church, for
Educational purposes, was concluded
last Sunday night after one weeks
work. When the subscriptions we're
added it was found that $500, so had
been raised, $3.50 over the amount
asked, and there are yet cards of sub
scriptions to come in. Rev. Bennett,
pastor of the Church said Sunday
night that it took less work to raise
the above amount than any drive he
was ever in. In Southern Methodism
$33. 900, 900 was to be raised and there
is not a doubt but more than that
amount will be raised.

A tremendous crowd of people as
sembled at Pollard's Chapel last Sun
day, the occasion being the dedication

which the new building now occupies.

with, and many of the older people
were out to hear him. From that day
he took up local work, and for mum
Der of years he has been a prominent
minister in the Methodist Church,
serving congregations in different
parts of the State. For the past
fifteen years he has been in evange.
listic work, and hundreds have been
converted under his preaching.
The people in the neighhorhood con-
cluded that Rev. Davis was the pro-
per minister to dedicate the new
church. He was invited to come, &C
cepted, and on last Sunday he faced
something like thousand people who
gathered in grove near the building.
After a debt of over three hundred
dollars was assumed, Rev. Davis, in
most interesting discourse dedicated
the new church at the service of God.
After the sermon, dinner was an
nounced, and such an abundance of
food, consisting OF ham, chicken, NUT
ton, fresh pork, and many different
kinds of delicacies were never before
spread before an Adair county audi
encs. 1t was great day of rejoicing,

metropolis Of the state, but with all
her advantages, he is never happier

pie of his home county.

Russell & Co.

There is law against the "cutout. "
Listen and see il you do not hear one
every ten minutes in the day, and up
to twelve o'clock at night. There is
also a speed limit in the corporate
limits of Columbia which is violated
every day. 1t is common for automo.
biles to go out and come in on Burkes-
vile street at the rate of thirty miles
an hour. If this law is not enforced
there is great danger of child or
children being killed. Children,
whose homes are fronting the street,
are often at play on the highway, and
when they are busy in the sand, no
thought of danger enter their minds.

My Impressions Of Columbia
Editor News
Dear Sir,

Lear Sir,
As per your request to write letter
to your valuable paper, on some sub
ject, and thinking the matter over
1 thought would draft up a few
lines. about your splendid little town
of Columbia L have travelled very
extensively throughout the principal
cities of the United States, including
small towns and hamletS, but l want
to say, you have one of the best little
towns here, that I ever visited. In
the first place you have the best side
walks that you will find anywhere in
the country. A residentor can leave
his threshold, and walk to any part of
the little town, without getting his
shoes soiled. There is plenty of shade
on all the streets, some beautiful lit
tie homes, which all the Columbia PEG.
pie are interested 10, pretty lawns,
beautiful flowers, surrounding each
little home. am a close observer,
and one thing in particular 1 notice,
you don't see any debris, such as bar
rels, boxes, and old papers lying around
any place. The sanitary condition of
the town from my observation be-
lieve is irst-class. The people of the
town are Of the incest kind. They
greet you with friendly good morn
ing, and they all show the good old
southern hospitality. I have had sew
eral invitations to visit some of the
best farmers, and influential men in
the county. In conclusion 1 will say,
that 1 am enjoying my visit in your
midst, and hope to remain for the
rest Of the summer. 1 also had the
pleasure Of driving, with horse and
buggy to Midtown, which consider
very pretty little place. 1 enjoyed
the trip very much. / am contem-
plating making good many of these
drives, if the weather and road con-
ditions will permit. l find that COM
modify, such as provisions, produce,
clothing, and other necessary articles,
are as cheap here in Columbia, as you
will find in Louisville. l could quote
you some articles that are cheaper
and throughout, fine lot of business
men, who. are satisfied with a small
profit, and don't want great big mar,
gins, like you find in other towns.
You also have two irst-claSs banks,
and the officials will at all times ex-
tend courtesy to all its patrons. 1
could write Of great deal more of
the nice treatment, we have received
by all the people out here among
Gods nature and the kindness and
courtesy myself and wife have re.
ceiEed- We are enjoying our visit
very much, and will always hold a
wafm spot in our hearts for "Colum-
bia and its nesidentors."
