Larger than Before.

1t is not often in repeating an enter
tainment that the second audience
proves to be as large as the first, but
those who saw Miss Fearless & Co.,
last Friday evening, largely outnum-
bered the first audience. All the
players were in fine condition and the
story was most admirably given, not a
mistake during the entire evening.
The composition is both humorous
and pathetic. and the manner of ren-
dition is what makes the company
exceedingly popular. The receipts of
last Fridays entertainments was be-
tween $50 and $40. The Company ex-
poets to visit neighboring town soon.
The same Company will make its
appearance at Greensburg Friday
evening. The residents of Greensburg
and citizens out in the county should
not fail to see it.

Don't Fear for the Bible.

Any attempt to undermine the BIZ
BILE will be unsuccessful in the long
run as the Bible is Truth. A we'll
posted Bible student does not tremble
for the Ark of God for he knows that
when the stars have burned out and
the Universe has had millions of
birthdays that the Word of God will
be unimpared by time Almost all
''the Sciences want to have their
fling and rush of for while into the
far country" where they dip into the
swine swill of unbelief but ever and
anon they come back to what the Old
Book says, confessing their errors
The best thing for anyone's mental,
moral and spiritual we'll being is some
real Bible study. There is welcome
awaiting you at the Bible Study
Glass at the Baptist Church every
Wednesday evening.

A DiriyD.ed,

There was very mean trick perpe-
trated on the inmates of Mr.. Solomon
McFarIand's family last Tuesday
-.nieht.-.ME-. MeEarlaHd lives near the
Campbellsville pike, about 81 miles
from Columbia. Short time after
supper Mr.. Mcfarland and his son-in-
law, Mr.. Edgar Royse, went hunting.
They returned late and found the en-.
tire family, consisting Of six children
and three grown women very sick;
some of them could hardly breath.
After working with his afflicted chill
dren for some time, Mr.. Mcfarland
learned that q short time after he
left for hunt, very offensive and
sitting odor spread all over the
house, and for awhile the inmates
thought that they could not live
Upon an investigation it was found
that the odor was blown into the
dwelling where a pane of glass was
out of the window. The members of
the family did not recover until " ed.
nesday morning.
Mr.. Mcfarland. has no idea who per
petrated the foul deed, but he says hi
would pay goodly sum to be put or
the track of the guilty parties, leading
to their arrest and punishment.

Here is something for our people
who patrouize mail order houses in
Chicago, Cincinnati and New York
to consider. Our home merchants ara
your friends and In every transaction
you have with them or may have, you
will be treated as a neighbor and
friend. II you should ask for a lit
tie time on the bill you are in quest of,
they will gladly accommodate you;
and Furthermore, they will sell you
goods for less money than you can get
them from Chicago, Cincinnati or
New York. You look over a eata-
logue and the prices seem inviting,
but you do not take into considera-
ticn the express charges nor the post
age on same. Furthermore, you do
not see what you are buying, and in
nine cases out of ten the articles you
order do not come up to reputation
given, We have at all times found it
best to stick to home people, and we
hope that dollars to mail order houses
will cease.
