NUMBER 28
Death of an Excellent Lady.
Mrs. Mary Baker, the beloved wife
of H. E. Baker, died at Uampbells
ville, last Thursday night, and the in
terment was In Brookside Cemetery
Friday. She was a lady of many ex
cellent traits of character, a devout
member of the Baptist church. She
was about fifty-five years old' and was
a dauehter of Judtre B.. S. Montaerue.
who died many years ago. Her sur
viving husband, Mr. Horace E. Ba
ker, was born and reared in Columbia.
The deceased was also known to many
residents of this place, and her demise
brought sorrow to all her friends.
Besides the husband, she is survived
by eight children. May God comfort
them in the great affliction that has
come to the home that will never
again seem the same, for there is no
real home without mother.
They should be comforted, however,
for they have been taught "that in
my Father's house there are many
mansions; were it not so I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for
you."
Will Not be Raised.
Judge X. H. Moss, Gordon Mont
gomery, John Wolford, A. D. Patte
son and J. Z. Conover, who went be
fore the Board of Equalization, Frank
fort, last week, accomplished their
purpose. The County Judge had been
notified to appear and show cause why
the property of Adair county should
not be raised 10 per cent. After the
Board heard the statements of the
Adair delegation it decided not to
raise the county a saving of 32,500 to
the county. Praise is due the above
named gentlemen for their prompt at
tention to the matter.

He Accommodated His Friend.
Leslie county is as dry as a powder
horn. Recently Isaac Pope, of that
county, went from home, but before
starting, Robert walker, a friend,
gave Pope a dollar and told him to
bring him a quart of whiskey. Walk
er got the liquor, but Pope was indict
ed, tried and fined. The case went to
the Court of Appeals and a few days
ago Judge Lassiug rendered an opin
ion, the other Judges on the bench
agreeing, sustaining the judgment of
the lower court. The opinion was as
follows: "Any person or corporation
carrying intoxicating liquors into lo
cal option territorj', even for accom
modation, except common carriers to
licensed druggists, are liable to a fine
of from $20 to $100 and from 10 to 20
days in jail or both." It was agreed
that Pope got nothing for carrying
the liquor, not even a drink.
