A terrific fight occurred at Cane
Valley last Sunday forenoon between
Sylvester Murrell and Ruel Hutchison
Both parties were brought to Columbia
in the afternoon Sunday by Deputy
Sheriff Clarence Page While neither
party was seriouly hurt they were
both considerably utin the head the
weapons used being rocks We ap
proached Mr Murrell in order to learn
what brought about thetrouble but he
refused to talk and the parties who
came to town with him and Mr Hutch
ison said they did not know They will
be given trials this week Learner
Johnston was also mixed up in the
difficulty All the parties were before
Judge Hancock Monday They were
fined 5 each made friends and left for
their respective homes all no doubt
sorry that the trouble occurred
The population of Columbia counting
people who live just outside the corpor
ate limits but are towns people to all
intense and purposes is between twelve
and fourteen hundred Out of that num
ber we can not call to memory but seven
persons who were living here fiftyfive
years ago and who have constaintly re
mained here during all those years
They are Mr Jo Coffey Sr Squire
John Eubank Mr W C Murrell Mes
dames Ann Eubank Bettie Butler and
Sallie Bradshaw and Mrs Lou Miller
There are persons in town who have
lived here fiftyfive years but they re
moved to other places and returned
Mr David Beard charged with sell
ing liquor was tried in the Federal
Court at Louisville last week and ac
quitted Mr Beard is the postmaster
at Cane Valley this county The
charge against him grew out of issuing
money orders for parties made payabl
to liquor dealers as we understand 1
Mr W T Elder who was the j >
vvpv vf k
master at Aticlwon Taylor county was
tried for appropriating post office > riiapey
or his own use then feplacirig the
amount He was convicted and unless
he is given a new trial he will have to
do some time in a government prison
You soon di c6fli W1iiany pit
are about the square when the fire alarm
is sounded Last Thursday afternoon
seemingly there were very few people
on the square but the fire alarm was
given coming from the residence of
Mr E L Feese who lives onthe street
leading to the Fair Grounds and near
the corner leading down mill street In
a few minutes a hundred men were en
route to the scene Fortunately but
little damage was done A spark from
a flue had set the roof on fire but was
extinguished before the main crowd got
upon the grounds
INO
No young lady ever visited Columbia
who made more friend than has Miss 1
Mayme Depp of Glasgow who has
been the leader of the chorus class
during the meeting which has been in
progress at the Christian church for
the past two weeks She has become
acquainted with all the young people in
town and without an exception they are
very fond of her She is engaged in a
high and noble calling and ner services
are very helpful and are adding much to
the success of the meeting
The only way to build the pike from
here to the Green county line is to raise
stock for the enterprise to the amount
of eight or ten thousand dollars The
stock can be secured if some two or
three > energetic men will go to work
and get it subscribed This enterprise
will be a great benefit to Adair county
and no time should be lost in getting
every thing iIi a tangible shape Re
member that the Fiscal Court takes
onethird of the stock

Mr Sam Kash of Manchester Clay
county spoke to a fair audience at the
courthouse last Saturday afternoon in
the interest of the Republican party
We failed to hear him but take it that
his speech was along the line that other
Republican orators are nowdelivering
over the State Mr Kash is a speaker
of considerable reputation and mem
bers of his party whom we have heard
express themselves say that he present
ed his side of the issues in a very for4
ble manner
Rev A C Blake who is pastor of
the Uuited Brethren Church this place
arrived here last Saturday afternoon
His former home was Elkin W Va
He will at once inaugurate a move to
have the contemplated church building I
erected at this place Until the build

AT THE PARSONAGE
Mr Sam F B rb ew and Miss Cora
Pickett Married Thursday Eve
ning at 7 Oclock
THE UNION WAS GENERALLY EXPECTED
Last Thursday evening Mr Sam F
Barbee and Miss Cora Pickett drove to
the residence of Rev A R Kasey
where they took the marriage vows in
the presence of a few relatives and
friends Congratulations followed This
marriage was not a surprise to the
friends of the contracting parties it
being understood that the union was
soon to taRe place 1
Immediately after the ceremony the
happy couple repaired to the home of
the grooms parents Mr and Mrs S
D Barbee who live on Campbellsyille
pike just beyond the bridge and where
for the present they will reside The
groom is an industrious young man and
is quite popular with his many friends I
The bride is a daughter of Mr and
Mrs Junius Pickett who reside on
Greensburg street She too is popu
lar with the young people and will be
greatly missed by the younger set
Neither Mr nor Mrs Barbee have
reached twenty years of age We
trust that their days may be long upon
the earth and that happiness may at
tend them in all their undertakings
The Meeting
In anticipation of an unusually large
crowd last Snnday evening Eld W H
Pinkerton was invited to hold services
in the courthouse instead of the Christ
ian church and it was thq correct move
for that large hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity His sermon was one
fofv power and the strong appeal made
tr
to the unconverted ought to ring in the
ears of the untighteous and bring forth
fruit many days hence The many
people who have not been attending
the meeting are cheating themselves
out of and intellectual and spiritual
feast A manof remarkable intellect
x > f intense earnestness devoting all his
time arid talents to the saving of souls
ought to have a crowded house on every
occasion The services all along have
been of interest and much good has
been accomplished t
Miss Mayme Depp of Glasgow who
is leading the chorus keeps in good
voice and her singing and management I
is universally praised All the mem
bers of the choir have melodious voices
and ares rendering music with a hearty
good will Sunday night EldZ 1T
Williams and wife rendered beautifully
avery touching duet The meeting
will probably vcbntinue through this
c
week
The Greensburg Pike
No cause can progress without earn
est intense devotion Christianity
would soon disappear but for its zealous
advocates So it is with every move
looking to the advancement of a com
munity the development of a people
and the bettering of conditions The i
News does not want the Greensburg
pike killed by indifference It is too
important to this entire community to
be lightly considered and its advocates
must keep alive its great worth The
county has made a liberal proposition
but none too broad for its own good and
now it must rest on energy the deter
mination and ability of the people in
the section through which it is to be
built and the business people of Colum
bia It will be a fearful mistake to
allow this to fall Talk it to your
friends study it yourself and dont al
low it to fall asleep The road is need
ed the people are able to build it It
cannot fail to be a good investment

The Farmers Institute
The Adair county Farmers Institute
held in the Courthouse last Tuesday
and Wednesday was lightly ettended
but notwithstanding it was an interest
ing meeting and worth a good deal to
those wlio attended Mr J A En
glish the chairman did his whole duty
and ahowecl the utmost consideration to
every one throughout the entire pro
gram Gov J R Hindman delivered
the opening address the speech of wel
come to Mr Walker and Mr Roude
bush the men selected by the state to
conduct it and while we were not
present at that particular hour yet we
are informed that the Governor meas
ured up to the full expectations of those
present r
4
The program embraced many sub
jects largely to be discussed by our
people but iri the main no special
preparation had been made and there
fore of but little worth to the agricul
turist The gentlemen representing the
State did their duty and made interesting
ing and instructive talks on nearly
every proposition One of the best
prepared articles on any of the sub
jects assigned was read by Mrs W K
Azbill on How to Beautify the Home
Her subject was ably and interestingly
presented and a pity that so few were
present to enjoy it One of the feat
ures of interest was the bringing to
the front of Mr R H Price on the
subject Some mistakes we farmers
make for which a premium of two
dollars was offered by Gov J R Hind
man and county Attorney Paull Smith I
for the best speech not to exceed five
minutes
minutesSeveral
Several speeches were made on this
subject pointing out various mistakes
but Mr Price was given the premium
on the ground that he said more to the
point in fewer words than any of the
others It is quite a compliment well
deserving and likewise appreciated by
the gentleman who bears the honor for
facts briefly but pointedly stated
More than half of the program was
rendered before the Iews man had the
privilege of being present and there
fore this report may fall short of the
true situation It is to be hoped that
our people will take more interest in
the future than was manifested in this
meeting and that much goocLwilLrestilt
to our farmers
Game Laws
As it is a wellknown fact that many
unknowingly violate the Kentucky
game laws The News gives below the
time it is lawful to shoot game
Quail pheasant and wild turkey from
Nov 15 to Jan 1
Rabbit from Nov 15 to Sept 15 J
Squirrel from Nov 15 to Feb lalso
June 15 to Sept 15
Duck and geese from Aug 15 to
April 1
Woodcock from June 20 to Feb 1
Doves from Aug 1 to Feb 1
Snipe at any time
It is unlawful to shoot any thrush p
meadow lark finch martin swallow
woodpecker red or blue bird catbird p
or any other song or birdr
Possession of animal or bird within
prohibited time is evidence of guilt
You are not allowed to shoot hunt
or fish on inclosed grounds without
consent of owner Violators are sub
ject to fine of from 5 to 25
It can be seen from the above that
quail rabbits and squirrels can not be
killed until Nov 15 and it is hoped
that our farmers and others will see
to it that the law is enforced should i
it be violated Hunters from town
and many of our country boys could
in a very short time kill all the game
in Adair county if they were per
mitted to shoot at any time I they
pleased i
Have We an Oil Trust Among U s
In talking a few days ago to a mer
chant of Dunnville I learned that the
Standard Oil Company furnished oil to
the merchants of Dunnville after haul
ing it from Junction Cityja distance of
thirty miles at 9 cents per gallon de
livered in their tanks They then sell
it tq their customers at 13 cents Now
in Columbia I do not know what the
merchants pay for it but I do know
that the people pay 20 cents for it and
it snot likely that the Standard Oil
Company would charge more for their
oil when they have to haul it only
twenty miles If the merchants buy it
at 9 J cents and sell it for twenty it is
very extortionate and if they charge
the mercharts here more than they do
j at Dunnville it is s Q methinig our peo
I pie ought to look iptp
