Death of a Good Woman.
Mrs. Mollie Hatcher, who was the
wife of Mr. S her rod Hatcher, died at
her late home, on Greensburg road,
iour miles from Columbia, last Fri
day afternoon, between one and two
o'clock. She was about sixty-three
years old, a consecrated Christian, and
her death is deeply deplored, not only
by her husband and children, but by
all people in the neighborhood where
she so long resided.
The funeral services were held Sat
urday forenoon, many relatives and
friends, who we're in the profoundest
sympathy for the husband and all
other surviving members of the fam
ily, being present. To the husband
who has lost a faithful companion,
the children who has been separated
from a loving mother, The News ex
tends its sympathy, suggesting that
they lool; to God for comfort in thjs
the trying hour of their lives
Dr. Wright, of Williamsburg, who
is-assisting Kev. O P. Bush in a se
ries of meetings, at the Baptist church,
arrived Monday afternoon, and the
meeting is now in full headway. The
pastor of the .Church extends a cor
'dial invitation and it is hoped that
every body will attend. Rev. Wright
is a -strong preacher, and no one will
fail to enjoy his sermons.
Delightfully Entertained.

Last Saturday Mrs. Rollin Hurt
gave a dinner to Judge Hurt's broth
ers and a few of his friends, he being
at home. Those present were, R. M.,
Y. E., and L. B. Hurt and wife,
If. M. Tutt, J. E. Murrell and C. S.
Harris. The turkey, Belgium hare
and the many dainty' dishes that tick
le the palate and satisfy the appetite
attested the culinary taste and pow
ers not merely of Mrs. Hurt but also
tier mother, Mrs. Anna Strange,
whose directions never fall below the
highest point of expectancy in service
to others. It is not our purpose to
exagerace, but plainly speaking, it
was a dinner too good for royalty-
just such as the best Americans are
able to give to friends, and ample ev
idence was left that it was genuinely
enjoyed. Mrs. Hurt and her mother
are accomplished ladies and know how
to make their guests enjoy such func
tions, not only in service at the table,
but in social conversation as well.
Before the party bade adieu, Mr. Ralph
Hurt, her son, entertained with a few
select pieces on the piano, both claslc
al and ragtime the melody striking
deep into the noblest impulses of those
present, and attested his skill and tal
ent in music Behold how good and
how pleasant for friends to meet on
such occasions.

Raven Bird is a beautiful mahogany bay. full 16 hands
high. 8 years old, he has the best of eyes, feet and legs, a beau
tiful head and neck, a vey well set tail, which he at all times
carries to perfection. He possesses extreme speed, style and
action, and the most perfect disposition of any stallion I have
ever seen or handled. He has five distinct gaits, and goes
them all in a most attractive manner. You will note from his
breeding that he has for his sire the famous old Red Bird, wlio
has perhaps sired as many high-class show and sale horses as
any stallion in Kentucky, and traces on his dam's side to
Cabell's Lexington, conceeded by all hosemen to be one of
the greatest sires that ever lived. Raven Bird is one of Red
Bird's greatest sons and has proved himself an excellent
breeder, and we have every reason to believe that, if he is
given an opportunity he will make a reputation equal to that
of his worthy sire. Service fee $10.00 to insure a living colt

WATCH WORTH .
FUfcLY $3,500
Finest Time-Piece in Kentucky
Result of Famous
Medicine
Louisville, Apr. 7tbi A very hand
some watch js nowon exhibition in
this city. ',' ,
The watch, which is the property of
L.T. Cooper, the noted "TanlacMan,"
is valued at 83,500, maybe a little more.
Forty-seven flawless-cut diamonds are
imbedded in its gold case, not to men
tion its equipment of pigeon-blood
ruby jewels. This beautiful time
piece is exquisitely embellished with
ornamentation of foreign workman
ship and contains the finest Swiss
movements. It is really worth seeing.
According to Mr. Cooper, the watch
came into his possession through the
merits of Tanlac. It happened, so he
says, about this way:
In one of the large cities visited by
Mr. Cooper some time ago, the young
son of a wealthy jeweler suffered-from
a complaint which had baffled physi
cians of the city and Eastern special
ists. The boy was anaemic listless
and not at alltplayful and as lively as
the other little fellows of his own age.
The parent said that the child's appe
tite was'irregular, at time ravenous
and that he Was extremely nervous
and complained of a twitching sensa
tion most ot the time. Itching of the
nose and dizziness were other symp
toms enumerated by- the jeweler.
'He asked me," said Mr. Cooper, "if
I thought Tanlac would help his child.
In reply, I stated that he could test
the medicine on its own merits. The
result ws that he bought Tanlac for
his son.
"Thinking nothing particularly of
the incident. I was a little surprised
a few month later to receive a letter
from the jeweler, stating that Tanlac
had relieved his son, who was now rosy
and running about like the rest of the
boys and asking me if I would accept
a 'small token of his appreciation.' I
answered his letter, telling him that
while I would appreciate his gift, the
fact that Tanlac had accomplished the
right results in his - chtld.s case was
sufficiently gratifying tome.
Shortly afterward, ' this beautiful
watch came. You can imagine my sur
prise. To me this gift' is invaluable-,
because it bears a double meaning,"
The famous medicine, Tanlac, can
now be bought in Columbia at Page
& Taylor's drug store. Ad.

Died.
Mrs. Sarah Flowers, a native of
Adair County, the widow of the late
James lenry Flowers, died at Gran
ite, Oklahoma, Sunday, April 5. She
was a sister of Mesdames Lucy Follis
and Sue Grissom, of this place. The
end came at the home of her daught
er, Mrs. Carrie Nunnally. Her -children,
and step children were at the
bedside when death came. Besides
the relatives above mentioned, she
leaves a number of nephews and nieces
in Adair county. The deceased was a
ladyof excellent Christian character.
On March the 22nd, Holland Thur
man, seventeen years old, a young
man who lived in the Breeding settle
ment, this county, closed his eyes in
death. He was popular in the neigh
borhood, and his funeral was largely
attended. He made a profession of
his faith in Christ several weeks be
fore his death, leaving evidences that
he was ready for the Master's call.
Much sympathy is felt for those mem
bers of the family who survive him.

nery market this week, selecting the

Mr W. E. McCandless, who ha3
been a partner of Mr. Geo. H. Nell,
in the grocery business, this place,
for the past two years, sold his one
half intererst a few days ago to Mr.
ArvestHill, of Grady ville, and the
inventory will be taken the 20th of
this month. Mr. McCandless is a
good groceryman and commanded a
liberal trade, and his friends are sor
ry that he will sever his connection
with the store. He commends Mr.
Hill, who is to be his successor to the
trade, and speaks in glowing terms of
Mr. Nell, their partnership having
been perfectly satisfactory, and he
predicts that the new firm will re
ceive the same liberal patronage as
has the old. Mr. McCandless' only
reason for selling is, that 'he is going
to embark in another class of business.
