The Hibernian Social.

One of the most enjoyable occa-
sions of the season was the social ses-
sion of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans at their lodge room Wednesday
evening. Mr.. p. 1. Mccarthy was
master of ceremonies and opened the
session by calling on Messrs. Geo.

men delighted the company with
their singing during the evening. FL
oquent speeches were made by Hon.

be remembered by those present, an

An Unfortunate Occurrence.

Colonel James Allen, that bright
bachelor-editor of the Cynthiana
Democrat, reeled off the following in
his last issue:
"Of course if it could have been
otherwise, it should have been other
wise. That is to say, Christmas,
Court Day and Wash Day should not
have fallen together, like they will
fall next Monday. Did you ever hear
the like? Such a mixture as never
was of Santa Claus, mistlotoe, bon
bons, fire crackers, soapsuds, horse
traders, chocolate drops, stock ewes,
pin cushions, egg-nog, bull calves,
black cake, oranges, mule colts,
wash boards, pearline and plain and
fancy drinks. That's nice mess for
a stocking. If it were not for disap-
pointing the children, Santa should
be advised to steer clear of Cynthiana
this year. Even as it is the old fell
low should be warned for if he comes
galloping-over the house tops little
late in the morning, half a dozen
PENNSYLVANIA greezers are liable to
chase him off the map in an effort to
trade him out of his reindeers. He
had better keep away from the ring"
across the river, too, or his team
won't sbe worth jack-knife. So
here's hoping the good old guy will
get in his work early and be far
away before Pennsylvania and Kelat
get move on"

Investigating complaint made by
Senator j. @. S. Blackburn that his
mail was being opened by some one

STOCK AND CROP.

Judge Osborne, of Cynthiana, ad-
vocates the organization of the to-
bacco growers into the 6 Burley
Growers Union" The contract which
growers are invited to sign appoints
the 'Union" salesman or exclusive
agent of the tobacco growers. The
obligate themselves to hold the
tobacco until October 10, 1906. If rs
per cent. of the growers do not sign
the contract is to be void. 1t is pro-
posed to fix the prices on crops at 8
to 16 cents, on cigarette tobacco, 10
to 80 cts. This is similar scheme
to the one used by the farmers in the
dark belt and through which they are
now receiving largely increased
price for their product.
-Missouri's corn crop this year
amounted to 242, 900, 900 bushels, val

Lecture For School Benefit.

A lecture will be given in the City
School Chapel tonight at O'Clock,
under the auspices of the Paris Board
of Education, for the benefit of the
school library, by Prof. Beresford
Greathouse, the well-known traveller.
The subject chosen is one of special
interest to Kentuckians: "The South
and It's Future" from the point of
view of a man who has travelled
thousands of miles to gather mate
rial for writing book on this very
subject.
y Prof. Greathouse has been through
many Southern States and has kept
his eyes and ears wide open and uh-
doubtedly his opinion of the South is
of much value.
The book he is writing about our
customs, our homes and our dear
ones will have large circulation in
England, and it is we'll that we should
know what he intends to say about
us. Let everyone, therefore, who has
Kentucky at heart, go and hear this
lecture which will probably reveal to
us things we never thought of be-
fore-the South seen through the
eyes of a stranger.
The admission will be 25 cents; re-
served seats, so cents.

The Right Idea.

Clarence L. Humbert, the genial
and popular manager of the Home
Telephone, had the right idea about
celebrating Christmas and put'it into
practical effect. Before Christmas
day arrived Mr.. Humbert figured up
and found that Christmas presents to
well-to-do friends in 1904 had cost
him about 800. He then concluded
to change his program this year and
invest the 500 in the necessities of
life for the poor of our city. He
spent several days looking up the
needy poor AMI we know of number
of families he made happy Christmas
morning by sending to them bounti-
full filled baskets, coal, etc besides
contributing to the charity fund in
the different churches.
Mr.. Humbert also surprised his tif-
teen telephone girls by placing two
tables, ladened with the delicacies of
the season, in the reception hall at
Home plant, making them feel that
their services were appreciated.
No cleverer or bigger hearted gen
tleman ever walked the streets of
Paris than Clarence l.. Humbert.

the cares Of state have weighed more
heavily than ever on man who is
considerably past the middle age and
who is not in the best OF health. Never
theess, Mr.. Hay, who is indefatigable
in work, refused the advice Of his friends

he is now close to breakdown in

who attends him declares that the

work which he has insisted on doing,
despite several attacks Of grip and bron-

Booker I. Washington IS undoubtedly
within reason when he declares that the
American people know more about tie
Japanese than they do about the ne
groes, chiefly for the reason that the

so remarkable that they compelled id

all due respect TO this accomplished

Washington, il must be stated that
the negroes have not done anything to
warrant widespread popular interest,
