benefit to the whole citizenship build up tho county making the route from here to a railroad stationshorter thereby curtailing expenses in every line of transportation This pike will create competition the same as two stores two mills or two enterprises of any character Competition is what makes business We want to see Adair county get in the swim and we believe this pike will be the means of putting heron the high road to prosperity It will be seen from the order of the Fiscal Court which follows that something like ten thousand dollars will have to be subscribed in stock and when the sum of ten thousand dollars has been raised by the people the Fiscal Court will take stock to the amount of 5000 Can the stock be raised We believe that it can and that it will only be a very short time until the certainty of the pike can be announced We only have about seven and one half miles to build and many believe that less than fifteen thousand dollars will do the work The bridge across Russells creek will not cost exceeding 2500 and in our judgment the roa1 will enhance the value of property not only along the line but throughout the county This will be a toll pike but the rate will be lower than most pikes charge Is the pike from here to Campbellsville paying Less see In 1905 it declared a dividend of 12 per cent in 1906 it declared a dividend of 18 per cent in 1907 it declared a dividend of 6 percent after building a 5 000 bridge across Green river Will the stock in this pike pay We believe it will and we want to see several energetic men start at once to raise it The pike from Greensburg to the Adair county line will be completed to the Ebineezer church by Christmas The following is the order of the Fiscal Cburt of Adair Cqunty In order to secure a good turnpike road from Columbia to the Green county line at a point to intersect the Greens burg pike beit Resolved That when bona fide subscriptions have been made for at least two thirds of the stock necessary to build and complete said pike in good firstclass condition from Columbia to the Green county line with a bridge over Russells creek then the county Judge is authorized to subscribe for one third of the stock necessary to build and complete said pike and bridge provided the total amount of stock necessary shall not exceed 15000 and the amount so subscribed for by Adair Court shall not exceed 5000 This is in lieu of all subscription to be made by Adair county Eld John Sweeney a minister of the Christian Church well known here is dying at his home Paris Ky The Annual Conference of the United Brethren was held at Normans Chapel Casey county from the 7th to the 11th of October Bishop Carter presiding A great deal of Church work was I accomplished Dr A Blake was appointed to the pastorate of the Columbia station He will locate in this place and will fce here in a few days He is a strong man and a very successful revivalist I Upon his arrival here he will at once take steps to push the building of a church house the lot having already been secured In onr judgment there were more people in the Christian Church last Sunday night to hear Eld Pinkerton than were ever before in the building at one time They were packed in the seats like sardines in a box Theisles were occupied and all the standing room was taken The subject of the speaker was the relation of this world to the celestial world It was a most interesting discourse every point being forcibly presented His sermon to men in the afternoon Insurance against Failure or How not to Worry was also full of 1 truths and was well received The announcement To Men Only lead some someI people to believe that the speaker would deal inhabits and conduct not permissible for ladies to hear but not so It was a strong discourse telling the men I what was necessary to do in order to gain eternal life beyond the skies Ladies were present and enjoyed the sermon as much so as the men The meeting will continue throughout the week and perhaps longer Up to this writing eight or ten have confessed their Savior and have been baptized The Sunday School House to House Visitation Committees appointed by they rious
