No Chance For Him.

A man who was summoned for
beating his wife tried hard to put all
the blame upon his mother-in-law,
and was chided by the bench for his
lack of gallantry.
why should 1t always be the
fashion for man to malign his
mother-in-law? the magistrate re-
marked. rs chivalry quite dead am
ong us? I knew a man once who
never spoke an unkind word to HIS
mother-in-law, never blamed her in
the least for his quarreis with his
wife, and never had the bad taste to
complain about her to other people.
The wife beater stared open
mouthed as he listened to the recital
OF the domestic paragon's virtues.
Then he said:
ooh, yes, I've heard of that fellow
before His name was Adam!-

The Great CommOner Here.

Between two and three thousand
people assembled at the l.. & N. depot

an enthusiastic welcome to Hon. Will
liam Jennings Bryan on his second
whirlwind tour through Kentucky.
The special was boarded at the juno
tiOn by Hon. j. T. Hinton and Hon. G..
M. Thomas. After some delay it pull
ed into the Surging mass of humanity
waiting at the station.
Hon. G.. M. Thomas appeared upon
the rear platform and introduced Sena-
tor McCreary, who was given hearty
applause. The old veteran, after urg-
ing Democrats to do their duty and
march to the polls on Tuesday next
and stamp under the rooster, introduce
ed his old friend, the Ho1. William
Jennings Bryan, who was given a
genuine Kentucky ovation.
The matchless orator was given the
closest attention while ne poured
forth the pure and simple Democratic
gospel. He told them that the eyes OF
the nation were on Kentucky, and that
should Kentucky go Republican next
Tuesday, it would give great encour-
agement to that party for the national
election next year. He begged of them
to be true to their principles and not
to let any little personal matters keep
them from doing their duty at the
polls on Tuesday next.
The comparison of the Bryan crowd
to that of Vice President Fairbanks a
few days ago needs no comment, for it
would be notifying to our Republican
friends.

Unused on the opening up of Bourbon

beautiful building lots. which will be
sold at public outcry on November
12tn. Three of our most enterprislng
merchants who are deeply interested
in the city's welfare and willing to en-
courage all enterprises of this kind
offer the following premiums:
j. w. Davis & Co., the up-to-date
and reliable clothing firm, will give
a good suit of clothes to the man that
buys the first lot at the sale of Bour-
bon Heights lots on November III h.
Suit now on exhibition in their big
show window.
w. Ed. Tucker, proprietor OF one of
the leading dry goods houses in Paris,
or even in Central Kentucky, will give
a handsome ready-to-wear suit to the
first lady to buy one of these lots at
the sale. Suit now on exhibition in his
show window.
The Bourbon Lumber Co., of South
MAN. Street, will give 1000 of the best
shingles to cover the roof of the first
house to be erected on one of these
lots sold at the sale on November 18th.
Truly. this is the right kind of en-
terprise. This is the genuine article
and true spirit. the kind that should
exist among the merchants of our
city. When business men are willing
to take interest IN the upbuilding of
our city likesthis, you may depend that
it will not be long before Paris is out
of the fourth-class city list. and then
the fruits of the efforts they put forth
will return to them hundred fold.
