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. Auction Sale.
