Large Still Captured.

Last Wednesday night Geo, Coffey
S. f. Coffey, Alba Miller and Walter
and Clel Tarter, all officials, found a
still in operation about two miles to
the left of Sparksville. Its capacity
was 12O gallons. 1t was located on the
farm of A Murphy and there we're
two men connected with it, but they
made their escape. The officers saw
them, but as they seemed to be run
ming for life, they were not fired upon.
The still was brought to Columbia and
singlings, beer, etc, destroyed on the
site. The officers of this county are
after the moonshiners and they are
doing good work.

Senior Class Night.

The people of Columbia were de.
lightfuliy entertained at the C. II. S.
Gym last Thursday night by the mem-
bers of the Senior Glass and other
members of the High School.
Twenty girls sang beautifully
"Sprinp." Truly, the manner in
which they presented the song was
we'll in keeping with the name. These
girl swere dressed in rainbow colors
and on the stage appeared as mist of
color strongly suggesting the beauty
and purity of Spring. To Mrs. c. NJ.
Russell is due the credit for the charm
and expression with which they sang.
At the request of many who attend
ed "Untangling Tony" in March, the
play was repeated. The Senior class
was assisted In this by Misses Mary
Atkinson, Carrie Grissom and Mr..
Frank Callison.
This play was given with even more
satisfaction than when given the first
time. Much credit is due each mem
Der of the cast as they all were well
chosed members and we'll balanced
characters. The manner in which
they played the parts assigned them
shows that they are willing to work
hard and do whatever task is given
them.
The played was coached by Miss
Mary Lucy Lowe
The members of the Senior class are:
Misses Virginia Smith, Pauline Allen,
Mary Sinclair, Ruth Miller; Messrs
Earl Blair and Fred Jackman.

There is some talk of setting apart
one day for woodworking throughout
the State. The idea is good one. II

we would soon have our highways in

amount of work that could be done on

Baccalaureate Addresses.

1t is not often that Columbia and
vicinity have had the pleasure of lis.
tening to more able addresses than the
two delivered here last Sunday fore
noon and evening.
The first speaker was DR.. ]. Lapsley
Mckee, of Kansas City, who addressed
an immense throng of people at the
Presbyterian church, directing his dis
course in the main to the graduating
Sclass of the Columbia High School.
His text was Christ, the Ideal, and it
was handled in a most entertaining
manner. He is very easy speaker,
and upon this occasion he seemed to
be in proper condition for his very
able address. At the close. the audi
ence was outspoken in pronouncing it
scholarly, forceful, entertaining,
abounding in most wholesome
thoughts, given in language that was
perfect. but in that simplicity that
the young could readily understand.
The speaker himself had the best of
training, being son of the late DIR.
]. L Mckee, who was d faVorite In
Columbia, and the first principal of
the Presbyterian Male and Female
High School, beginning in 1856
While the speaker was a stranger to
the residents of this place he was
most happily entertained in the
homes, stopping with Mr.. and Mrs ].
N. Coffey and friends of the Mckee
family constantly called. Mr.. Mckee
was profuse in complimenting the
town and the many friends he met
who knew and admired his saint
ed father.
The music was furnished by Mrs.
Q. M. Russell and chorus.
The commencement address for this
school will be delivered by DR. Mckee,
at same church, tonight.
At 7:3O O'Clock the audience moved
to the Methodist church and we're
highly entertained with an address
by DR.. ]. G.. Akin, pastor of the
church of Lebanon, who is also a cap
tivating speaker and most successful
worker for God. He spoke before the
graduating class of the Lindsey Will.
son, and he handled his subject,
Christ the King, in a most convincing
manner, and his address was very
pleasing to the many in attendance.
He gave the names of three men, Ma
poleon, Alexander the Great and Kai.
ser Bill, who undertook to conquer
the world, but the hand of God inter-
ferred and they went down in defeat
His idea, as we understood, was to
follow the Star of Bethlehem-Ju Judea
and all would be we'll. DR.. Akin is a
self made man. He was born and
reared at Burkesville, his parents be.
ing in Strengthened circumstances,
but when quite lad he decided TO be-
come Methodist preacher. Bright,
and full of ambition, he arranged to
be educated at EIkton, finishing at
Vanderbilt University, about fifteen
years ago. He and Rev. R V. Ben
nett were classmates in both inStitu-
tions
The commencement address, next
Friday night, will also be delivered by
DR.. Akin, and it will be in the Lind.
sey-Wilson chapel. 1t will be worth
while for the people of this and neigh
boring communities to hear this ad-
dress, as it will not only be of interest
to the class, but all who may hear it
