Case Reversed.

In the case Lille Harden VS. Omie
Harden, tried in the Adair circuit
court, and decided in the lower court
in favor of the latter, was reversed by
the Court of Appeals The case is as
follows: Virgil A. Harden, a young man
twenty years old, procured policy of
three thousand dollars on his life and
named as beneficiary his wife, Lille
Harden, At the time he took out the
policy he had not been married, but
was engaged to be married to Miss
Lille Wheeler. One month after the
policy had been issued he was married
to his Alliance, and on the day after he
was married to said Lille Harden, he
was taken sick and died eight days
thereafter. His mother Onie Harden
claimed that-on the day before he died
he called his wife and in the presence
of his mother, stated that he wanted
her This mother) to have one-half of
the insurance money
The circuit court held the statement
made by the mother was sufficient to
change the beneficiary. Whereupon,
the case went to the Court of Appeals
and that court decided in favor of the
wife, that she was entitled to the
whole of the insurance. Gordon Mont
gomery represented the wife and Jones
& Garnett the mother.

had the misfortune to lose it last Fri
day morning. The truck left here
loaded with lathes, and while it was
passing through the Buchanan lane, in
Taylor county, it was discovered to be
on fire, caught from back fire. There
was no water convenient, and it was
impossible to eXtginuish the flames
and it was soon consumed, and also the
load of Iathes. The Gruck, when new,
cost 5000. 1t was insured, as we
are informed for $500. The latbes
were owned by Mr.. Eugene Wething-
ton and Norman Morrison, clear loss

Bishop Denny.

One of the most logical addresses
delivered in Columbia for years came
from Bishop Denny, of the Southern
Methodist Church, delivered at the
Methodist church last Sunday evening
on "Christian Education" He was
greeted by large audience and given
the closest attention throughout. He
is speaking over his territory, telling
the people the danger that is now
confronting the world on account of
infidels and atheist who are en-
ployed in many of the large colleges
as instructors. He made many state
ments, based on facts, that were
alarming, and there is not a doubt
but he was correct in his assertions
He urged the Christian people to be-
come aroused, as to this great danger
that is confronting the nation as 60
His Church is active
and unchristian teachers will not be
nor tolerated by Southern

It Is a Shame.
.ester, KY.

If the ffiocers of the law had visited
the alley back of Russell & Co.'S store
and back of the News Office, last Mon
day week, county court day, they
would have been convinced that liquor
was brought to Columbia, sold and
drunk, as not less than twenty men
were highly intoxicated, running
their horses up and down the alley.
One man fell from his horse and was
hurt so badly that he had to be hauled
home. It is a shame that such con.
duct, under the noses of the officers,
should be tolerated. Men who per-
sist in becoming publicly drunk, care
nothing for the law, but If they were
jerked up and given the severest
penalty, it might teach them a lesson.
Furthermore, the officers who will
keep a watch, make arrests and have
offenders conduct investigated, will
have the backing of the good people of
the entire county of Adair.

ence to bid them God speed.
Mrs c. NJ. Russell was in charge of
the music.
