News from the front page of the News March 9, 1910 The rage in Columbia was the game "Lost Heir." Lindsey Wilson was the site of a great debate. And the news had a story an L&N train striking the wagon owned by a Columbia, KY produce merchant, Claud Edrington By "Jim" Sewing Club Entertained The "Sewing Club" [was] delightfully entertained by Miss Frances Jones on Wednesday afternoon at her pretty home on Greensburg St. Several musical selections were given, among them a duet by Misses Walker and Myres (sic), a solo by Miss Rosenfield and Mrs. Lowe. Refreshments were served and the time passed all too soon. Her guests included: Party fever seemed to have hit Columbia. Also reported on the front page was an entertainment, in which the game "Lost Heir," which was all the rage at the time, was the principal feature, given by Mrs. W.A. Coffey in honor of her sister, Miss Lorena Harrison, of Illinois; and another "Lost Heir" party given by Mrs. C.M. Russell. The list of attendees at each to-do was suspiciously similar. Miss Frances Wheat Jones, hostess of the Sewing Club affair, was the daughter of Judge and Mrs. W.W. Jones. In late December, 1910, she became the wife of Geo. R. Reed, manager of the Reed Hardware Company. -"Jim" The Debate The debate and other exercises drew a large crowd at the Lindsey-Wilson Chapel last Saturday evening. The program was entertaining throughout, and the students who appeared were highly complimented. "Ole Mistis,"by Miss Pelly, was well received; the Journal, read by Miss Gabbert, contained many spicy hits, and the musical selections, by Misses Hodges and Howard were charmingly rendered.The Gabberts, Gertrude and Mont R., sister and brother, were natives of Adair County, and both were awarded diplomas from Lindsey Wilson in May, 1910. Fred Rainwater, of Rainwater Oak Tree fame, was a native of Pulaski County, Ky., but his maternal grandmother was of a native of Adair, a member of the Green River Watson family. The Frogge Literary Society was formed in late 1904 or early 1905 and was named in honor of Prof. Samuel L. Frogge, who served as Principal of the Lindsey Wilson Training School during the 1904-1905 school year. The Columbian Debating Society, also known as the Columbian Literary Society, came into existence in late 1906.-"Jim" Two Horses Killed in R.R. Accident Last Thursday afternoon Claud Edrington, who runs a team between Columbia and Campbellsville, landed at the latter place with a load of chickens, shipped from the Columbia branch of the Northern Egg and Poultry Company. It was about 5 o'clock, and as a train was not due until 9, Mr. Edrington drove onto the switch and was preparing to unload, when suddenly a special made its appearance, ran into the wagon, killed the two horses, destroyed a number of coops and killed quite a lot of chickens for the poultry company. It is believed that Mr. Edrington and the poultry company will recover from the L & N R.R. Co. This story was posted on 2010-03-09 07:28:36
