PROMI NENT CITIZEN. Capt W. W. Bradshaw, Known to Every Body in Adair County Crosses the Divide. FUNERAL SERVICES FRIDAY MORNING. The subject of tins article finished a long and usef al carreer last Wednes day morning at 5 o'clock. His death was peaceful and it was not a sur prise to his many friends of this com munity, as his condition was known to have been criticahTor more then ten days. Jle realized that his departure was rapidly approaching, and talked freely with his pastor, telling him of his willingness to bid farewell to earthly loved ones, knowing that his preparation had been accepted, and that when his soul left the body it would be received in that celestial city beyond the skies. The deceased was born at Mont peljer, this county, June 14, 1837, mak ing him seventy-live years and five months and a few days old when the end came. . Capt. Bradshaw had beeli reasonably successful in life, and was ever ready "to help the needy, and he was a will ing giver to advance the cause of -Christ. For a number of years he en gaged in Sunday-school work, perhaps organized more schools tlian any other one man In "Kentucky. White J thus engaged his 'field was principally in Eastern Kentucky, going to that section when there were but few church buildings' aud very few religi ous organizations. Since he com menced to blaze the way .churches and school houses have been dotted al over that section of the State. ' He was not only liberal in Church affairs, but was ever ready to lend his assistance and give of Ids means to en terprises that had for their object the bettering of Columbia and, Adair' county.

His death brought sorrow to many homes, and all hearts are in the ten merest sympathy for his aged compan ion. The funeral services were held in the Pgesbyterian church Friday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, lie v. .1. R. Crawford, as sisted by his former pastor, KeV. W. n. C.

For the information of friends and as some little solace to the bereaved parents, I want to write briefly of a child whose young life went out when scarce begun. v Louise Falkenburg Phelps, oldest daughter of Loren O. andEflie Phelps, was born March 11, 1904 and died October 22, 1912, at the age of eight years, seven months and eleven days. The child had been sick for .some days with tonsilitis, but when her fa ther was at home from his school on Sunday, her condition was not so alarming as to prevent his return to school. On Tuesday she was tnuch 'worse. Pneumonia had developed, and liar father hurried home in response to a telephone message, reaching her bed side only in time to hear her say: "Father, don't cry, I will soon be well.'' A few minutes later she wlrts pered, "Mother, I can't- talk to you any more," and her young life went out. Louise was a bright," sweet child, and a general favorite. Atthe home that afternoon and at the funeral ser vice next day strong men, unused to tears, wept for the loss of their little friend. The services were conducted by Brother Tarter, of the Methodist; church. In school Louise was well along in J;he4ourtii grade. She wassail excep tional good reader. Watching her fa ther in his studies of English Liter ature, she was able to name many of the leading authors and the time in which they lived and wrote. Such a loss seems irreparable. It may have been best, but it is hard for anysortof philosophy or any kind of faith to reconcile those whose whose home seems so dilferent now. Some- time. perhaps, we'll understand.. L. P. What Advertising Cost. For the beuefitof those who some time complain that advertising cost too much, we give for the benelit of our patrons the foil wing figures. , A single page in a single issue of yearly advertisement of one column in the Chicago Tjibune costs 520,000: in the New York Tribune $29,000 for the lowest rates and $85,900 for the highest rates; in the Xew York Herald the cost for the lowest rates is $38,203 and $350,000 for tligiiighest priced column. Yet one can see that these papers are always full of advertising matter, even at these enormous prices. Won't tlus make the man feel funny who pays $10 a year for advertising and struts about town posing as liberal adver tiser Fit His Case Exactly. "vVhen father was sick about six years ago he read an udvertisemeut of Chamberlain's Tablets in the papers that fit his case exactly,'' writes Miss Margaret Campbell of JTt. Emith, Ark. I "He purchased a box of them and 'he I has not been sick since. My sister eaa I stomacji trouble and was also benetit ! ed by them.'" For sale by all dealers. it was reported over town last Fri day that Mr. Hugh llichardsou's ma chine was wrecked , near Louisville while en route to the city from this place, andtbaCa traveling man, who was one of the passengers got badly huri. Mr. Richardson returned Sun day night., stating that there was no truth in the report; that the radius on his'machinegot out of fix, that no one was hurt, and the auto was not damaged. He drove the same machine back home. All Odd;Eel!ows in good standing are requested to be at the lodge room next Thursday night. Important,and visitors will'be here to assist the local ! lodge.

To the Editor of the Adair County: News: Prof. Dudley, who is teaching the MtZioh school in the district near Crocus, lias set a example that all the other teachers in the county would do well to follow. When 1 would call on his school to talk sanitation to the children he would always seem deeply interested in all the snbjects talked about. The State Board of Health has sent out,Bulletins on the subject of the diseases which are becoming in Kentucky, so common, and Prof. Dud ley has been studying these bulletins and especially the one on the hook worm disease, until he has undertaken to rid his school of these pests. He called the patrons and parents of the school together, audlaid the case be fore them, tellingthem about the dangers from the hookworm disease. He got them interested in the matter, and at once proposed to second any ef fort that he might make to help the sanitary condition of the children. The Prof, gathered 20 or 30 specimens rom that many suspected children and sent them to the state bacteriologist, and had them analyzed, and six of them were found to be effected with hookworm, and several others were found to be effected with other kinds of worms, one a tape worm, !Now these children can all be restored to health, and instead of being dull child ren as they have been accused of be ing, they will be as bright as any in school. Rowttiisis a noble workoC Prof, Dudley," and one that ought to be followed by other teachers iu the county, and all the counties round about. I hope it will be done. Respectifully Yonrs, U.L. Taylor, nealth Officer. Surprise Birthday. A most delightful day was spent at Mr. C. E. Claycomb Saturday 3iov. 23, in honor of Mrs. Claycomb 37th anniversary.

Lyon, Campbellsville, to Mr. R. F. Paull, this place, stated .that it was generally believed at the former town where Miss Ruth Paull, daughter of Mrs. Lena PauH,thiscity, was visiting, that the young lady and Mr. Sam Burdette, a young trader of Marion county, who frequently visits Columbia, had eloped to Tennessee, as they had left Campbellsville in a bug gy together and the information Mr. Lyon received after their departure, warranted him in the opinion that the couple had left for the purpose of get ting married. Doubtless, that by the time this pa per reaches our readers they will hava been to gretna green and returned and received forgiveness. - The bride is quite young in her sixteenth year, and was in school at this place. She is the oldest daughter of Mrs, Lena Paull, and was quite popular with all her Columbia asso ciates. Her marriage was a great sur prise, but her numerous friends trust that the event will bring to her much happiness, and that her early marriage will prove a blessing to all concerned. The groom is well-known about Co lumbia where he has been a success ful mule buyer for several years, and where he has made many warm, per sonal friends. Shot Wife to Death. J. L. D. Gebert, of the Middleburg secton of Casey county, shot and kill ed his wife at their home Wednesday night and has 'been arrested and placed in jail.' He claims that it was an accident but eye, witnesses to the tragedy declare that he shot her deli berately after she had entered ia a quarrel he was having with some men who were present. It is said Mrs. Gebert sought to prevent her hus band from having trouble with the men. He was drinking and bacame irritated and turned and shot her down. Death was instantaneous. She was just 24 years of age. Before her marriage she was Miss Evans. Basket Ball Game. The Monticello Basket Ball Team, accompanied by a number of "rooters," reached here last Thursday forenoon. The team landed in line shape for a match game against Lindsey-Wilson boys, and at the 7:30 the o'clock the bell was tapped and contest opened. It was interesting throughout, but it was soon discovered that the -visit-iiTg team was too heavy for the local, and when the game ended the score stood 13 to 0 in favor of the Monti cello boys. There was some hard playing, but good humor prevailed. A large crowd witnessed the contest, and when the visiting team left Sat urday morning for Russell Springs to engage in another contest, the local boys gave them the glad hand, promis ing to meet them in Monticello at an earfyvdate.

Harris is not a member of the boys corn club, he makes no claims of being a scientific farmer or of bringing to light new theories in agriculture, bnt firmly believes that doers, rather than theories, will solve the problem of larger yield, better kept farmsand more profitable return. A good portion of his time was spent on the farm last summer and he re ports that every acre he cultivated in corn made more than 50 bushels, while his 8 acre field, in front of his dwell ing, weighed out 91 bushels per acre. Heavy rains damaged this field, very much in early spihig,which, as "he thinks, prevented him from making 20 barrels per acre, the quantity he had planned to produce. Eloped to Tennessee.
