SADDLERY COMPANY
Purchasers Will Take Plant
to Cairo and Operate it in
That City if the Deal Goes
Through Today
PAY sEvENTY-FIvE PER CENT.

Negotiations for the purchase OF
the Paducah saddlery company's
plant and stock by Julius Harris and
Isador Klein, travelling salesman for
NJ. Michael & Bro, are proceeding to-
day between the prospective purcnas-
ers and the Paducah Banking COM
pany and the Globe Bank G. Trust
company. It is probable that the deaf

will be taken to Cairo. H., and op-
Grated there.
It was stated by omtals of the
company today that the plant will be
sold at sacrifice of about "a per
cent. and the creditors viii realize
something over rs per cent. of the
face of their claims.
The sale of the Paducah saddlery
company. and its removal to Cairo is
a blow to Paducah trade. The con-
Germ was doing we'll, the officers are
men of integrity and business abili-
ty. and there seemed nothing in the
way of success until this unfortunate
complication arose. Paducah whole
salers. especially, regret the occur
renee.
The company employed from 80 to
so men.
st. Louis parties were here today
to purchase and an effort was made
again to reorganize without success.

test for SUPPLEMENTARY of
Schools.
SITUATION is COMPLICATED.

Interest am over the city centers
In the meeting OF the school board
tonight, and particularly in the cleo
tion of the new superintendent Of
the public schools. II is freely inti-
mated on an sides that a crisis in the
affairs OF the Paducah schools has
been reached. 1t is understood that
efforts are being made today TO In
duce the board to defer the election
until later In the month giving more
time to investigate men, and Vt Is
probable that the efforts will be made
clear up until the meeting tonight.
At least two prominent men in the
city, whose AFFAIRS bring them in
touch with educational conditions.
know of men in the east VINO would
be available and whose qualifications
would be calculated to carry forward
the school system to a higher state of
efficiency. They are men who are In
terested in furthering the revival of
interest in education which just now
is sweeping over the south. 1t is be-
lieved that they could be secured If
the proper effort is made to get their
attention to the opening here.
1t can be definitely announced that
so far as three Of the leading mem
bersf of the board are concerned, the
new superintendent If he is elected
tonight. will be an out-of-town man.
However, some of the local men have
friends on the board. and 1t Is prob
able that they will be placed In nom
inatioD. One local candidate has a
strong following, and 1t is improb-
able that ne will be ignored without
am effort to be elected
The members Of the school board
show a disposition to listen to all
suggestions. but as they think they
have had the subject under consider
alton for two months, they are going
about the election resoluteiy. Inter
est In having the election deferred
is manifested most strongly in the
people who pay the taxes and who
have children in the schools, and
these people will be represented at
the board meeting tonight.

illustrative of Irish humor. II is un.
usual. The essential character of
Irish wit is drollery. But that OF
Scotch wit is its irony. somberness, its
searching character. TO put your fin

Col. J. u. Capper, who is In command

He adds: "An aerial section to our
