Paris, KY, Aug. 10.-The boundary
line between Fayette and Bourbon
counties is responsible for some pc
culiar situations. On several farms
the houses lie partly in one county
AMI partly in the other. The home
of John Sears, on the Hutchcraft
place, near Muir, stands Immediately
on the line. The dining room of the
home is half in Bourbon and half in
Fayette. As a result Mr.. Sears eats
his meals in Bourbon county, while
Mrs. Sears partakes of hers in Fa-
yette. Others who sit at that table
have to choose between the counties.
The home of the Mcssrs. Smith. in
the. same neighborhood, is similarly
located. Taxes have 10 be paid To
each county, but when a home is on
the dividing line a householder may
choose the county in which he votes.
Mr.. Sears votes in Bourbon and the
Smiths in Fayette. The male menu
bers of colored families who live in
the back yard at the Smith home
have 10 vote in Bourbon. their dwell
ing being several feet north of the
line. Mr.. Perkins. who lives in the
same neighborhood. and is now a vo-
ter in Fayette. until recently was a
resident of Bourbon. His house
burned, and was rebuilt few feet
south of the line. Several farm
houses in neighboring precincts are
within a stones throw of the boun-
dairy. The line itself is remarkable
in that it is a part of the line which
extends from the Kentucky river.
near Boonesborough. to the Ohio. at
Ludlow. KY, without being crossed
by stream of water. II follows
