There were quite a number of sold ier boys, who live out in the country, who came home for the holidays, and. whose names we failed to get. They evidently brought happiness to paren tal homes. From the clothing of all the boys who have come home and from their appearance no soldiers now in the field are better fed and better clothed. Rollin Cundiff, who was a bookkeep er in the Bank of Columbia before he was called to the colors, visited his home and his friends in Columbia last week.

Mr. Claud Montgomery, of this Place Dies in Wardsworth, Ohio. Interment Here. Mr. Claud Montgomery, a son of Mr. and Mrs Scott Montgomery, left here some months ago for Wards worth, Ohio, where he was employed in a match factory, and where he was a valuable assistant until ten days ago when he became a victim of typhoid fever. He and his friends were hope ful at start, but on Wednesday morn ing of last week he was much worse and his parents, wife and son, this place, were notified that he was in a serious condition. His father, wife and little son left immediately for his bedside, but he lived only a few hours after their ar rival, a dispatch reaching here Friday night that he was dead. The remains arrived Monday, and many friends went to the Montgomery home to view the body and to express sympa thy for those who had been bereft of a husband, father, son and brother. Claud Montgomery, had he lived until March would have been thirty four years old. He was a man of correct habits and very attentive to business entrusted to him. He had been a salesman for various merchants in Columbia, all speak of him in the highest terms. 3trictly honorable and at all times at his po3t of duty. He leaves a wife and one son, father and mother and one sister. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. O P. Bush, Tueseay morning at 10 a. m , the deceased be ing a member of that religious body, many relatives and friends being present, all in the profoundest sym pathy for those who had been so sore ly grieved. After religious exercises the remains were conveyed to the city cemetery there to remain until the resurrection morn. May God comfort the widow and little son, father, mother and sister, is the wish of this entire community. Church Loyally. When a person connects himself or herself to a religous body, it is be cause the organization adhers to the principels to which he or she subscri bes In all Churches the applicant for membership obligates himself not only to attend the regular services, morning and evening, but all other. In order for ajChurch to prosper its members must be loyal, and if they fail in this the organization will go to pieces. It is noticeable in some or ganizations in Columbia, especially at the evening services, from twenty to thirty-five members, living in town, are not in their places.This is not en. couraging to the pastor and causes cold chills creep over the backs of the faithful. It takes a live church to ac complish good. Everytning is on the drag when an organization is largely composed of dead members. Every member knows his duty, and we ad monish them to wake up and attend services at their respective Churches, morning, evening and the the mid week prayer meetings. Will Remove to Cave City. Adair county is soon to lose one of its most excellent families, Mr. Luth er Williams, wife and children, who will remove from Montpelier to Cave City. Our people will regret this separation, as Mr. Williams has been a prosperous merchant, druggist and farmer of this county fdr more than twenty j ears, and Mrs Williams is a most excellent lady with a number of bright and interesting children. They will all be missed from Adair county, and Cave City is to be congratulated. Mr. Williams will engage in the drug business at his new home, having for med a fartnership with Mr. E. T.Wil lis, who many years ago resided in Co lumbia. From Texas. Dallas, Dec. 27th '17. Editor News:- Please find enclosed two dollars for News. I do not kuow what my bill is.
