Wants To Be Buried In Kentucky

Mr.. Henry Leer, of Woods county,
Oklahoma, native of Bourbon, and
now the guest of his cousin, Mr.. Charles
Carroll Leer, of near town, visited the
Paris cemetery Saturday and selected
the spot where he desires to be laid at
rest when the last summons comes.
He was an old Confederate soldier and
is now suffering from gunshot wound
he received during the war Incident
to Mr.. Leer going to the cemetery
Saturday, was the happy reunion with
his old captain, Mr.. Spears, who is
confined to his home on High street.
They had not seen each other for more
than a third OF century. Both men
were in a reminiscent mood and re-
counted the stirring events of 1865,
in which they side by side participated.
Mr.. Leer will spend a few weeks in
Bourbon, when he will return to his
far western home via Midway, where
his ONLY brother, John Leer, now past
eighty years of age, resides.

Advance In Thread.

All the local dry goods stores have
advanced the price on cotton thread
from five to six cents per spool. The
stores were ordered by the Thread
Trust to make the advance, and as the
trust not only is the sole source of sup
ply, but also has an agreement with
the retailers by which it fixes the re-
tail price, the advance went into effect
at once. This is the highest price at
which spool cotton has been sold for
twenty-five years.
This is a good sample of what the
trusts are doing to the people. We are
informed by Paris merchant, that be-
fore this order to raise to six cents a
spool was received the merchant was
making nine cents profit on dozen
spOols of thread, now the consumer has
to pay an increase of one cent per spool,
and at the same time the merchant now
only realizes profit Of four cents. Yet
people will continue to vote the Re-
publican ticket, the party that fosters
trusts.

Legs Crushed In Stealing Ride

While attempting to board moving
freight train in the L. e N. yards in
this city on Saturday night, Alva Fra
Zier, aged 81 years, of Vaudeville,
Clark county, fell beneath the wheels
of box car and his legs were crushed
off near the knees.
Frazier was taken to st. Joseph s
Hospital, Lexington, Sunday morning
where a desperate effort on the part of
the physicians was made to save his
life but he died at IL 80 o'clock Sun
day. The special trian which bore
Frazier to Lexington made one of the
fastest runs that has ever been made
between the two cities.
Snowden Frazier, a brother of the
unfortunate man, witnessed the acct
dent. The brothers had beaten their
way from Winchester and were waiting
at the junction of the Winchester
division of the L. & N. to ride into
Paris. When freight No. 81 arrived
Frazier attempted to catch the train
and missed the step. He fell under the
train and his legs were crashed off in
stantly. He was dragged some dis
lance before he, could attract the at
tention of the train crew.

Call For Primary.

The Democratic Committee for the
Fifth Appellate Court District met at
Frankfort Friday and called primary
on Thursday, August l, 1907, for the
purpose of selecting the Democratic
candidate for Judge of the Court of
Appeals to fill out the unexpired term
of Judge Cantrill, resigned. The COM
mlttee meeting was most harmonious,
the vote on the primary being unani-
nous. Immediately after the resolu-
ton was adopted Committeeman w. o.
Davis, Of Woodford, said that he was
authorized to announce that Judge
John d. Carroll, the incumbent by ap-
pointment, swOuld be a candidate for
the nomination. 1t was calculated by
the committee that the expense of con-
Quoting the primary in the eighteen
counties of the district would be about
S.. 900, and this amount was fixed as
the entrance fee. Lieutenant Cover
nor Thorne arose and notified the COM
mittee that he had that amount in his
pocket to pay over as Judge Carroll's
entrance fee at once. 1t was ordered
that prospective candidates must notify
ChairmansW. A. Lee of their intention
not later than Monday, July 8. 1907.
and If only one candidate is announced
by July the committee shall meet in
Lexington on July II, call off the pri-
mary and declare the announced can
didate the Democratic nominee.
Politicians from over the district at
tending the committee meeting say it
is certain that Judge Carroll will be
the only candidate. No one else is
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation and there appears to be a
general sentiment that the honor could
be conferred upon no more worthy
man.

Bourbon Republican Convention

The Republican Convention held here
Saturday afternoon was one of those
cut and dried affairs without hardly a
ripple. George w. Stuart, the newly
developed leader, was the whole works,
and with vim read his typewriter pro-
gram, beginning with motion to make
Secretary Wyatt Thompson, who called
the convention to order in the absence
of Chairman Yerkes, Chairman of the
Convention and ending with the motion
to adjourn. Everything was done with
a rush.
Wyatt Thompson was made perma-
nent chairman and G. ]. Barns, secre-
tary. Mr.. Stuart had his delegates
already on his program, with resolu-
lions endorsing A. E. Wilson for Gov
ernor and w. o. Bradley for United
States Senator, which he offered, then
button was touched and Postmaster
J. L. Earlywine sprang to the floor
very dramatically and offered an
amendment to Mr.. Stuart's set of dele
gates, making every Republican in the
county delegate. authorizing Mr..
Stuart to be the chairman Of the dele
cation with authority to cast the vote
of Bourbon in the State convention.
Mr.. Earlywine was about to give the
rs Republicans present and 2 Struggling
Democratic reporters one of mis- elo-
quent flights of oratory, but Mr..
Stuart, for fear he would mention the
name of Roosevelt and Taft, quickly
accepted his amendment and made q
motion to adjourn, which cut off another
eloquent speel from DR.. Hickman. OF
color.
1t was very noticeable that Roosevelt
and Taft were ignored.

Practical CO=Opertion.

As an illustration of the value of
polling their crops by the farmers of
Kentucky, the action of the wool
growers of Owen county should be of
interest at the present time. They
pooled their crops of wool, which
amounted to 5000 pounds and have
just sold the whole lot to one man for
284 cents per pound. This sum is said
to be several cents in advance of the
price that is being offered Individual
sellers of wool in the large markets.
and is strong indication the tobacco
men of the district pool will meet with
the same good fortune.
