Lands WILL SOON
LAY ASIDE CAVEI,
Says He Will Be Glad When He Car
Go to Bat for Baseball Clear
to the Handle.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Judge Kene7aw
| Mountain Lands Will soon lay asiA.
his gavel and go to bat for basebaII
with his hands clear down to the
handle.
"when man gets to a certain ga

"I won't be giving up the bench he
cause 1 don't like it.
1--WE enjoyed using the court rave1
lot.
"But I will take up baseball worl
exclusively because I love the game I
want to do everything in my power n
make it clean.
AT the time accepted the position
as baseball arbiter I felt that I could
handle it with my bench job.
1.-THE time is coming when TT have
to make a change. When that TINA
comes I'll put away the gaveI and go
to bat for baseball altogether"
The judge hurries from his court
room to baseball headquarters and
from there to the ball park.
He doesn't miss a game when either
the Sox or Cubs are at home
His eyes snap with youthful pep AZ
he watches the players warm up. He
is a fan from the tips of his toes tc the
top Of his gray hair.
During the few months he has been
basebalrs supreme dictator the Judge
has proven his ability to handle the
highest salaried job in the game
$50, 900.
Not once have his decisions been
questioned.
Magnates, who before lands took
office were constantly quarreling, fol-
lowed him like lambs after he put on
his baseball toga.
Lands settles perplexing problems
as quickly and as judicia1ly as he
does the crime cases he hears daily
in his court.
Just as he has applied horse sense
to settling peoples troubles he has ap-
piled it to baseball.
There is a right and a wrong side
to baseball quarrels ard the car has
batted a thousand so far.
AS long az he remains on the bench
he will get a salary of $500 for his

worth every cent of the $4,000 and

How long Lands viii remain IN IA

They are hard business men. In thu

so long as he fits into their scheme OF
affairs

Did Not See Ills Double.

Several months ago Clint Curry, a
colored man Of this place, who is full
of humor, went to Newcomerstown,
Ohio, to better his condition. He was
gone about two months, and when he
alighted from the mail car, on his re-
turn, he was met by Lagan Bomar, of
his race, who is getting along in years,
who addressed him thusly: "Got back
has your" eyes, 1 thought would
come home and see my wife and child
rem" "Arhar, you had better stayed
Where have you been anyhow"
"Well, Uncle Loge, 1 have been to
Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Day
ton, and many other large places I
have seen all kinds of men, whitemen,
Germans, French, Italians,
men with teeth and men with teeth,
but did not see anybody that looks
like you"
Whereupon Loge raised his cane and
Clint took to his heels.

Passing Of An Old Citizen.

Last Saturday morning, at O'Clock,
Mr.. Creed Hood, who lived on the
Campbellsville pike. three miles from
Columbia, succumbed to the inevita-
BILE and crossed to the other side.
He was "a years old last March and
was well.known to a great many peo-
pie of Adair county, having been born
and reared near where he died.
When the civil war broke out he es-
poused the cause of the South, enter
ed the Confederate army and served
until Lees surrender at Appomatox
He served in Morgan's command.
When the war closed he returned
home and commenced farming. He
was good, substantial citizen all his
life, and was kind and sympathetic
man, one who will be greatly missed
from the neighborhood.
The funeral was held Sunday, a large
circle of friends being present. Bur-
ial was in the Cox graveyard. Our
sympathy is extended to the SORROW
ing wife and SONS.

Why MOI?

The old turnpike idea of building
roads, and collecting toll from the
travelling public was not bad one, al.
though it seems to have gone into dis
favor these latter days We are not
certain that we ought not to 60 back
to it, if we are to have roads fit for
public use in this section
After all, it was not unreasonable,
and it furnished way to keep the
roads in repair. 1t accords with the
old axiom that the dancers should pay
for the music.
To build roads without some means
Of up-keep will always prove a failure
and result in loss. The toll is not an
unfair way to provide for the repairs
Now, having said this much we
wish to inquire why is not possible
to have toll road between this point
and Creelsboro? And why it would
not be very desirable for both places?
1t would give the latter place an
outlet during the summer months for
freight, and all the year for travel,
and it would open up to Columbia the
rich Cumberland bottoms, and freight
by way of the river from Nashville
and Cincinnati during the winter
months. 1t would add immensely to
the intermediate country in wealth
and convenience all the year round.
Every body would be benefited, and
nobody hurt by what would be put in
such road.
Another thing, the link between
Greensboro and Albany would in time
be supplied, and we would then have
a direct line between Louisville and
Chattanooga.
Greensboro would certainly grow in
to thriving village as it would be
the main shipping point on the upper
Cumberland.
Why can not this road be built?
Shall it be done, or shall we contin.

Dairy Needed.
against.

We know of no enterprise which
would pay better than dairy estab-
lished near Columbia, and it is little
strange that some one has not taken
it in hands Very few house-keepers
in the town are prepared to keep a
COW, and every one needs milk in some
quantity. OF all food it is the most
perfect, and for many purposes, most
needed. If some one would go in the
business, and deliver the milk at the
doors, as is done in many places not as
large as Columbia, we feel sure it
would prove profitable and would
meet much needed demand.
