The Decoration.

People of Columbia generally visited
the cemetery last Tuesday and deco
rated the graves of departed loved
ones with beautiful flowers. Late in
the afternoon the grounds had the
appearance of a field of roses. Many
tender emotions came to the hearts of
the living while strewing flowers, as
memories of the long past brought to
the mind when the departed and the
living were together in the old home
stead. After while we will all be
together in "a and where
sorrow does not enter and where hap
piness reigns supreme.

To the Community.

The Chautauqua opens at Columbia
Sunday the 18th and will coutiue six
days. The program for Sunday will
be in keeping with the day. The
young people are now passing over the
community for the sale of season tick
cts, and 1 want to urge person who
love high class music and entertain
ing lecturers to purchase a season
ticket at once. A few people have
made it possible for Columbia and
Adair county to hear the coming
high class artists, by obligating them
selves for quite sum Of money, and
this money must be raised by the sale
OF season tickets, or thsy will have to
make good the amount. Paying at
the door will not help meet this obliga-
tion; and besides, if you pay at the
door and attend even half the days, it
will cost you much more than we're
you to buy a season ticket. Do not
put of buying tickets. Purchase as
the sellers come to you, in order that
the committee may know how it is
progressing in the sale. As President
Of the Chautauqua, 1 urge everybody
who will attend to purchase tickets
now.

ASad Death.

The earthly pilgrimage Of Miss
Minnie 10y, who was popular young
woman of Columbia, ended last Satur-
day forenoon about 1920 O'Clock. Her
demise was not unexpected as she had
been gradually sinking for several
weeks, her malady beyond the reach
of skilled physicians-pulmonary
trouble. Like all persons who are af.
fiicted with this fatal disease, she
hoped and prayed that she might re-
cover. The first symptoms became
noticeable about one year ago, and
three months ago she went to the
h ONE of her brother, in
Clark county, Indiana, believing that
a change would be beneficial, but she
continued to grow weaker, and one
week ago, her father, Mr.. Anthus 10y,
went to Indiana and brought her to
Columbia, stopping at the Jeffries
HOTEL where she had long made her
home, and where she was tenderly
cared for by Mrs. Jeffries and other
members of the family until the end
came.
She was twenty-five years old, and
every body in Columbia was her
friend. She was modest in her de-
meanor and had a kind word for all, a
devoted member of the Pierce Bap-
tist Church and at all times was
ready to do what she could for her
Lord and Master.
funeral services were held in
the Baptist church, this place, Sum-
day afternoon, conducted by Rev. R.
V. Bennett, of the Methodist Church,
1.-THE Baptist having no pastor,) as
sisted by Rev. A. Y. Napier, re-
turned missionary, and Ed. z. T.
Williams, of the Christian Church.
The discourse was very comforting to
the friends of the departed, every
space in the church building being
taken.
At the conclusion Of religious SER
vices all that was mortal of this good
young woman was conveyed to the
city cemetery and there deposited in
a private lot. = ..
There were many beautiful floral

Suit for $4,000.

While at Greensburg, last week, all
the officers of Adair County who
were in the Keltner killing, were
sued by Mrs Vanarsdale, the widow
of the man who was killed, for ten
thousand dollars. 1t is believed here
that the proof Of the killing does not
warrant suit. The trouble and ex.
pense of going to court is all that we

 NUGGETSBY CLOSE BATTLE. i 2TO 10

Coming from behind in the seventh inning and staging rally that net ted seven runs the Avants evened up their series with the Nuggets and won the sixth game twelve to ten at the Fairgrounds Tuesday evening be- fore a crowd of about three hundred including large number of fanettes The game was one of the best seen in the series so far and was real battle from start to finish.
 The Nuggets got away to big lead scoring six runs in the second inning and adding two runs the next five innings. It took the Avants six innings to drive across four runs and when they came to bat in the seventh inning they were trailing the Nuggets by four runs. A batting rally which punched hits behind errors gave the Avants seven runs and putting them In the lead. The Nuggets managed to drive in two more runs in the remain Ing three innings while the Avants collected another just to make cer- lain of the game.
 Big Chiek Madden was in fine form up to the seventh inning when the Avants started their attack. The ad- vocate of the theory of dance and grow thin" received a severe shock when he was asked to remove his portly form from the box in favor of Lefty Harris. Lefty had world of speed but was shy on control and walked several men. Slim White, the lanky hurling star of the Avants, af ter a bad second inning steadied down 10 business and was never in better form in his long career as a pitcher. Slim, however, retired from the pitch Ing duties in the eighth to give Ken
