April, 18th, 1912 To the Citizens of the Town of Columbia: The time has come for -every citizen to see after his premises.

The health of the people is the greatest blessing to every community. The health of the people is promflted by looking after the little things. A clean town is always a healthy town. In a perfectly clean town, there are no flies or mosquitoes. If there are no flies or mosquitoes, there is no sickness of the kind spread by these pests.

Malarial troubles are spread altogether by mosquitoes. Typhoid fever and consumption are spread largely by the house fly. If the people will begin in time, begin now, the house fly can be prevented from breeding. Screening the houses is the beginning of safety. Keep the manure from ac-cumlating in the stables.

If it is hauled out and scatterd over the ground every week, there is no danger. Do this. or sprinkle a little coal oil over the heaps every day. In this way you will stop the flies from breeding, and save yourselves and your horses from a great deal of unnecessary annoyance. Keep the flies out of your privies, either by screening the vaults, or by covering the contents with lime, or ashes or fresh earth every day.

These things are a little troublesome, but it pays in the long run. Then, be sure and keep your rain barrels covered so that mosquitoes cannot lay their eggs water The eSs mosquitoes when u.lk wiggieiaus, aim wiggie- tails when developed are mosquitoes. You should not only keep your rain barrels covered, but have no tin cans or other vessels lying around catchir-g water, and giving the mosquitoes a place for laying their eggs. The old fashioned "shak in ager" has been nearly entirely eliminated. I j.

uu i.va.ic vj. ib bucoc uajro is tne result or tne war tnat nas Deen waged against the mosquitoes. By a conference with the Board of health, and the Board of town trustees, Saturday the 27, day of April has been set apart as a general cleaning up day, when every citizen is expected and directed, to clean his premises. Let the filth be put into barrels or boxes, and placed on the streets where the wagons which will be furnished by the town can get them and haul them away. Every old lumber pile in a state of decay must be removed.

Tennessee capitalists, mainly resi- dents of Gallatin and neighboring towns, have secured a charter for an electric railway from Gallatin to Stanford or Somerset, Ky.

The projectors are said to have been at work on the enterprise for several months and to have as many as four routes under consideration for the road, which is designated in its charter as the Cumberland Valley Interstate Railway. In the final selection they will be guided largely by the amount of popular interest that is manifested in the territory affected. The road is projected through a section of Kentucky that is greatly in need of better transportation facilities. In the area between Gallatin and Stanford there is a block of eight Kentucky counties, all of which are without railroads. These are Monroe, Metcalfe, Cumberland, Wayne, Clinton, Adair, Russell and Casey.

Any road built from Gallatin to Somerset or Stanford would be likely to penetrate at least two, and'probably more, of these counties. They embrace a country that is rich in diversified resources and that presents an inviting field for the investment of capital. In no other section of the State is there so large a territory inconveniently situated with respect to railroad facilities. There have been numerous efforts heretofore to the building of railroads into this region, but none of the ambitious projects set on foot has made material progress. It is scarcely passible the development of this inviting area can be delayed many years longer.

The movement in Tennessee is inspired by men who know, the possibilities of the country through which it is proposed to build the road andit is to be hoped their enterprise will be more fortunate than those which have gone before.

Sat- Faiied to Contract. The Fiscal Court met last Thursday to receive bids for building the bridge across Russell's creek at the Birk ford. Mr. Spain was here, representing the Champion Bridge Company, and he submitted a bid of $2,200. Auother gentleman, who represented some other company was here, but he did not submit a proprosition.

A proposition, by letter, was received from anothf company, the bid being less than two thousand. The Court retired and consulted a few minutes, af terwbich a motion prevailed rejecting all bids for the present. We take it that the County Judge and County Attorney will make thorough investigation, and at an early contract will be let. Next Sabbath at Presbyterian Church.

At the Parson's. Last Thursday afternoon at 4 o'lock, I Mr. Samuel Feese and Miss Grace Con-over drove into Columbia and to the residence of Eld T. Williams, where they were joined in the rites of matrimony. The bride is a daughter of Mr.

Sam Conover, and is a very deserving young lady, one who had many friends among the young people of the neighborhood where she was reared. The groom is a son of Mr. James Feese, who lives near Columbia, and is a very industrious young man For several years he has been employed by the Grinstead Poultry Company. For the present, the couple will reside with the father of the bride. If you suffer with headache consult Dr.

The deceased was about elev en years old, and had been delicate al her life. She was a niece of Common wealth Attorney A A. Huddleston, who with many other Cumberland county friends, came up with the remains. Mr. Emmet R.

Chandler, who was a popular gentleman of Campbellsville, died in that city last Tuesday night, after a few days illness. He was 32 years old and leaves a wife and three children. His mother was Miss Annie Montgomery before her marriage, and was born, reared and married in Columbia. The deceased was connected to many prominent people of Kentucky, Mr. Scoft Montgomery has left at this office1 an Indian, tomahawk which was found on the David Conover farm.

It was evidently plowed up, and from its appearance, it. had been in the ground for many years, probably than a hundred. Side Walks. Is the city council not going to extend sidewalks within the The citizens residing on of Columbia the concrete town limits? the turnpike beyond the bridge which span3 Russell's creek, are of the opinion that such needed and important improvements should not be discontinued so long as they have not fared like the citizens living-on the three other main thoroughfares of the town. On Jamestown street, Greensburg street and Burksville street, concrete sidewalks have been built to the town limits, but on Carap-bellsville street the citizens have not been so fortunate.

After a long time, and with much imploring and begging, the late board of Trustees did finally pass an ordinance requiring a side walk built by the property owners as far out no Ur. i. i i 1 people on that end are thankful, but are those citizens owning property beyond the bridge on the "exempt" list? If they are not, why should they not be required to build sidewalks just like the ones living on this side of the -bridge toward town? We invite the members of the new council to walk out that way I some time when the roads are muddy and see what we have to contend with I in getting to our homes, and if after investigation they feel we should not haye any sidewalks, very well, but if i they think we should have them, an ex-t tension to the town limits is all we ask. There is another sidewalk that ought to -n. t.

x. be built in the town. It would be a A. u- j- credit to Columbia, as well as to mdi- dicate the progressiveness and public spirit of the city council. That walk should begin at the intersection of the Campbellsville turnpike and the street leading to the Lindsey-Wilson school, and extend up to the school building.

We ask a consideration on these needed improvements. Fred McLean. Death of An Old Citizen. Mr. Joseph P.
