DR. U. L. TAYLOR DEAD.
The End Came Suddenly at His
Residence on Thursday Night,
and it Was a Great Shock
to Columbia.
SAGE OF ADAIR COUNTY PHYSICIANS,
September
subject of
un-
List Thursday evening,
2, 1915, at 8" o'clock, the
this writing fell dead at his home, in
this city. His wife was the only per
son in the dwelling when the sum
mons came, and our informant states
that-the Doctor had started to his
sleeping apartment, with a lighted
lamp, when the attack came. He fell
and when the first friend, Mr. Jo N.
Conover, reached him, he had ex
pired, the lamp remaining gripped in
his right hand.
Dr. Taylor was a remarkable man
His vigorous constitution was often
mentioned, as he was very active from
a young man to old age. The 21st of
last April he reached his eighty-second
birtiiday, and his demise removes the
last member of a large family of
brothers and sisters, sons and daught
ers of Eev. George Taylor, who was a
pioneer Methodist preacher of this
county.
Dr Taylor had been a practicing
physician for more than a half centu
ry, and up to the time of his death he
had been the Health Officer- of Adair
county for qult a number of years.
His work in that capacity has bet
tered the health condition of Adair,
the death rate being much lower now
than when he took up the work. To
the medical fraternity he was well
known over the State. He attended
the State meetings of the Board of
Health, and his opinions given before
that body were logical, many of His
suggestions being adopted for future
guidance. He loved his profession,
and was a constant reader of the lat
est medical periodicals. He was a
man possessed of general information
and an entertaining conversationalist.
Events of the long past were vivid in
his mind, and he could relate them so
plainly that a little child could
derstand.
He was a native of Adair county
and if the writer has been correctly
informed, he was born and reared on a
farm one mile from GHenviile, on the
road leading to Creelsboro.
Besides being a skilled physician and
an upright citizen, hetwas a devoted
member of the Christian Church, and
was ever ready with his 'presence and
his purse to do all he could in advanc
ing the cause of Christianity.
As time passed he realized that he
had but a short time tpv remain with
his companion, children and friends,
and on each Sunday forenoon at the
services in the Christian church, just
before or just after his birthday, he
sang, alone, "Beyond the Dark Sea,"
and while he was so pathetically ren
dering it many eyes in the congrega
tion were bedimmed with tears.
He was a man who will be greatly
missed, as he was known to every
grown person and many of the chil
dren of Adair county, as he visited
every school in Adair, white and col
ored, once a year, laying before the
pupils laws of health, urging that
they be striotly obeyed.
Our readers will remember -that at
the beginning of this year he com
menced writing health articles for The
News, which doubtless were widely
read. He wrote them, gratis, for the
benefit of humanity. The last one
penned by him appears in this issue
of the paper. It is marked "to be con
tinued," but his pen has been stilled.
Friday the body was embalmed, to
await the arrival of his daughters,
Mrs. Fannie McGarvey and Miss Mat
tie Taylor. The former was out West,
the latter in Frankfort.
The funeral services were held In
the Christian Church last Saturday
forenoon, beginning at 10:30. The
building was crowded with relatives
and friends, who had gathered to .pay
tribute to the honored dead.
The funeral services were conducted
by Eld. Z. T. Williams, assisted by
Eld. M. B. Gabbert and Rev. J..S.
Chandler, all three paying high trib
ute to the departed. ' - '
Services over, the remains were de
posited beside the graves of loved, noes
in the city cemetery. "M ,

Case Probably Settled.
There was an interesting case called
in the Eussell County Court; Monday
of last week. In talking to a Eussell
county citizen he related these cir
cumstances: Some years ago a man
named Thos. Yaden, who now lives in
Eussell county, married a woman in
Texas, and after living with her for
sometime he came to his present home
near Sewellton, and after living there
quite awhile, he married another
woman. The first wife came out from
Texas week before last, went to Eus
sell county and there met her hus
band. A warrant was issued for his
arrest, and ttie case called for trial
last Monday week. The defense
called for evidence of the first marri
age, and the woman who claimed to
be the first wife, failing to produce
papers, the case waS continued, and
the first wife left for her home. It is
doubtful if anything further comes of
it.
New Millinery Firm.
Lodged in Jail.
Some time ago Jo Eagal and Roy
Polston were fined in the Adair cir
cuit court upon a charge of disturbing
public worship. After the rendering
of the verdict the accused left the
county and went into Cumberland
county. Sheriff Mitchell has been on
the watch, and recently he learned the
location of the parties. Papers were
sent to Mr. W. H. Jones, Sheriff of
Cumberland county, and last Sunday
he and the Town Marshall of Burkes
ville, Mr. W. H. Murley, landed the
fugitives in jail at this place.
Mr. Jones is a very efficient officer
and is probably the youngest Sheriff
in the State, being less than twenty
five years old.
J. F. Neat will pay 16c. a dozen for
eggs, cash, at his store on the pike.
Coldest Summer for 44 Years.
Mrs. Geo. W. Staples has sold
her stock of millinery goods to
Mrs. Geo. F. Stults and Mrs. L L.
Eubank, who will conduct the bus
iness in the same apartments, Eussell
Building. The ladies are experienced
milliners and wiU make every effort to
please lovers of fashion. They were
in Louisville and Cincinnati last week
where they bought a well-selected
stock of the very latest designs in the
millinery line. They also purchased
goods from Indianapolis and Nash
ville. While in Cincinnati they se
cured the services of- Miss Lula
Dersche, whose home is in that city.
She is a young lady of delicate taste
and large experience in artistic work.
She will arrive in due time. Notice
of their opening will be given later.
They will be pleased to see Mrs. Sta
ples former customers, and they hope
to merit a large trade on their own
reputatson. The style of this firm is
Stults & Co.
An examination of the temperature
records of the United States Weather
Bureau Station in Cincinnati Monday
disclosed the fact that this has been
the coldest summer during the 44
years weather data has been kept in
Cincinnati. The average temperature
for the period from May 1 to date is
68.2 degrees, or 4.6 degrees below the
normal and the lowest average tem
perature ever recorded for -a -corresponding
period, Tne nearest-approach
to the record established this summer
was the summer of T89l' whin the
temperature averaeed 69.2 decrees.
The average temperature or August
to date is also a record' breaker 'It
reached the low mark of 69.8 degrees'
The normal average temperature for
August to date -is 75 !5 degrees: ' The
lowest average temperature previous
to this year was 711 'degrees recorded
in August 1875.
The month of May, June, July and
August, this year taken collectively,
show a very large deficiency in tem
perature, compared with the normal,
although individually these months
have shown lower temperature in pre
vious years. This year differs, from
other years in that in no other year
were there four consecutive cool
months from May to August.

The intelligence of the death of Mr.

The men were Smith, Johnson and
Gallahar. The latter hung himself in
jail. The other two were executed by
the Sheriff of this county.

full, Sunday night, on the subject
"Eternal Hell." and we believe all
who heard him were convinced by
scripture that hell fire is awaiting all
the Christ rejectors but an earnest
appeal was given for people to repent
and escape this eternal doom. The
