Watch 1913.
Laughed at by some and called old
fashioned by others, the old almanac
is still interesting to many, and the
1913 almanac contains even more "in
formation" than usual. One of them,
just issued, indicates 1913 is going to
be somewhat the whole thing in years,
if its number is a trifle objectionable.
One learns that the year 1913 com
prises the latter part of the 137th Jand
the beginning of the 138th year of
American independence and that the
first of January is the 2,419,769 day
since the commencement of the Ju
lian Period. All this is interesting,
of course, but the events scheduled
for 1913 are more so. The eclipse
family is evidently to be feared. There
will be five of these, "now-you-see-it-now-you-don't."
On March 22 a
total eclipse of the moon will occur.
April G a partial eclipse of the sun is
announced. September 15th the moon
takes a few hours off and on Septem
ber 29, 1913, the sun will give the
Orientals and dwellers of the islands
of the sea a treat by sinking into
darkness. Easter Sunday falls on
March 23. Gladsome spring rollicks
in, two days before that. There's a
regular bugaboo day on the schedule
for 1913. Every one should have a
rabbits foot handy for Friday, June
13, 1913. This is a combination to be
feared by all superstitious persons.
According to the almanac, the usual
amount of moonlight will be turned
on during 1913 for the benefit of young
sweethearts. There will be more
tornadoes than usual in Missouri,
iowa, the Dakotas and Minnesota.
On March 4, when the new President
of the United States is due to be in
augurated, heavy fogs will envelop
Washington, D C, according to the
almanac. The government weather
bureau may think differently, but it
will be remembered tUat the govern
ment bureau was nearly put out of
business because it got "off wrong" at
the last inauguration.

Changes Mini-Weds Old Lover".
It's a woman'sprivilege to change
her mina. Because of her having ex
ercised that privilege, Mrs. James E.
Morton, of Pelleyton, Ky., doesn't
happen to be Mrs. R. Titus Thompson
to-day.
Mrs. Morton until yesterday after
noon was Miss Gay Roberts. On Dec.
24, next, she was to have married
Thompson, She told her fiance of an
old lover, one ''Jim" Morton, who
was out West.
"If I could just get those letters
back I wrote to Jim, I am sure I would
be perfectly happy with you, Titus,"
said Gay.
Well, Titus wrote to Jim. "We are
eugaged, Gay and I," the letter ran,
"and we would consider it splendid of
you if you returned those letters."
That gave Morton an idea. He
Would return those letters in person.
He did. lie "hot-footed" it East.
He talked to Gay. lie found her win
some. In fact, she was prettier than she
used to be. It took little to rekindle
the fires of the old love.
"You know, "said Jim, "you were
ray sweetheart tirst."
"Yes, that's true," Gay was forced
to admit.
That she wanted to admit it devel-

"Opportunity knocks andwejusblefc

And we corner the market but 'tis not
a sin;
For if you have money why should
you let it rust?"
Is the high toned reasoning of Mag
nate and Trust.
I' Your argument is good, "now chimes
in Captain Kidd,
"Though for over a century my trea
sure's been hid.
Opportunity came and I just let 'er
in
And I robbed the poor devils but
'twas not a sin."
"But pardon me friend Magnate, one
question I'd ask
Why the arm of the law hasn't taken
you to task:
I just robbed a few hundred for which
they hanged me
While you rob the millions and they
let you go free."
"Tis true I took life from a few fel
low creatures
But 3ou've done the same though
upon different features.
They did suffer but little when struck
by my shot
But while starving to death they
must suffer a lot."
"So then if we are evils you must be
the worse
If killing and starving are considered
a curse "
"Oh hush Captain Kidd or you may
rouse the people,
Though now I feel safe they may hunt
me a steeple."
"You robbed them by force while we
rob them by stealth
And so now my dear Captain let's
hush about wealth.
As to the arm of the law it's now on
our side
And it forces poor devils our wishes
to bide."
? We've agents in Congress who are
true to the mark
They will try to protect us though
others may bark.
And if you such good friends in high
circles had made
You might not have been hanged but

Why Do Men Advertise?
The man who conducts his business
on the theory that it doesn't pay and
he can't afford to advertise, sets up
judgment in opposition to that of all
the business men in the world. Says
an experienced advertising authority.
"With a few years' in conducting a
small business on a few thousands of
capital, he assumes to know more
than the thonsands whose hourly
transactions aggregate more than his
do in a year, and who have made their
millions by pursuing a course that he
says doesn't pay."
If advertising doesn't pay, why is it
that the most successful merchants of
every town, large or small, are the
heaviest advertisers? If advertising
doesn't pay, why do business firms in
the world spend millions in that way?
Is it because they want to donate
those millions to the newspaper and
magazine publishers, or because they
don't know as much abont business as
the six-for-a-dollar merchantwho say?
money spent in advertising is money
thrown away or donated to the man
to whom it is paid.
Such talk is simply ridiculous, and
it requires more than the average pa
tience to discuss the proposition of
whether advertising pays or not with
that kind of a man. His complacent.
self-concoit in assuming that he
knows more than the whole world is
laughable and reminds us of the man
who proved that the world doesn't re
volve by placing a pumpkin on a
stump and watching t all night.
Two Good Sermons.
Rev. O. P. Bush, of Louisville,
preached two sermons in the Baptist
LChurch, this city, last feundayf They
were pointed, clear and forceful and
invigorating to those who had an at
tentive ear. In the forenoon his sub
ject, "Who is my neighbor," develop
ed man's duty to man Igjin JJUUSJially
interesting way and-imeasured'the
highest service to our Creator. The
arternoon service Spirit and life vas
the theme and was presented in a
manner that left its impress in the
mihda and hearts of trie audience.
The church is without a pastor and
Mr. Bush was here on invitation.
Most favorable expressions are heard
from those who heard him as a man of
thought, forceful delivery and spiritu
ality. Special show at Parlor Circle
Friday and Saturday night.

The individual Commuuiou Service
will be installed at the Christian

special invitation is hereby given to

text, "For ye know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though lie
was rich, yet for your sakes Heriecame
poor that ye through His poverty
might be rich ' An offering will be
taken for Ministerial relief and the Or

be a liberal offering made to both in
stitutions. Christmas presents will
be given to the childreu of the
Christian Bible School next Sunday
morning. Let- all the children be

In the year 191U there were eight old
Federal soldiers who answered the last
roll call in Adair county. In 1911
there were ten and in 1912, up to this

when an old soldier dies he records his
name, his age, tKe regiment and the

Good Bye to the Crawfords.
It is a source of general regret that
Columbia is to give the parting hand
to Rev. J. E. Crawford, his estimable
companion and six interesting daught
ers who are to take their departure
for Winchester, Ky., next Thursday,
Rev. Crawford having accepted a call
from the Presbyterian Church that
city.
Sunday forenoon and evening Rev.
Crawford preached his two last regu
ar discourses here, the church being
well filled upon both occasions. reDre-
sentatives from all denominations at
tending. Out of respect for the de
parting minister, Rev. J. II. Chandler.
pastor of the Methodist church, call
ed in hisappointment for Sunday even
niugand his flock worshipped with the
Presbyterians.
Rev. Crawford is a minister of rec
oil ized ability and is always interest
ing, but in delivering his two last dis
courses, he seemed to be at his best.
The sermons were strong,touching and
pointed, commanding the closest at
tention. During his four ears stay in Co
lumbia many new members have been
added to the congregation, perfect
harmony has prevailed at all time,
hence it is hard to part with a pastor
whse four years work has been
crowned with success, perfect tran
quility reigning throughout.
The shaking of the haild is a serious
thing and the words good bye are
hard to say, but our people trust that
Rev. Crawford and his family will be
permitted to visit Columbia in the
future and mingle with the manv
staunch 'friends made during their
four years stay in our midst.
Since taking up their residence in
Columbia two of the daughters have
become grown Misses Mary and
Martha. They are popular with their
associates, and their bright facas to
gether with the jouuger daughters,
will be greatly missed.
