City May Soon End0w Hospital.

That the city of Paris will soon take
over the property bequeathed by the
will of the late Mrs. Anna K. Massie
and endOw hospital to be maintained
by the city. is evidenced by the ap-
pOintment of trustees to act in con-
junction with the administrator of the
estate by Judge Robert L. Stout.
The opinion of Judge Stout as to the
duties of the city and to the construc-
tion of the instrument devising the
property on Vine street, is expected to
be handed down in few days togeth
er with the order transferring the
property to the city.
Before the adjournment of Circuit
Court Saturday Judge Stout announced
the appointment of Mrs. w. E. Simms
and Mrs. E. F. Clay as trustees of the
institution to act with MIR James Nc
Clure, administrator of the estate of
Mrs Massie and it is probable the
transfer will be made within the next
few weeks
As soon as the transfer is made the
city will be ready with the fund of
SIS, 600 to endow the institution aud
carry out the provisions of the will of
the late Mrs. Massie, looking to the
establishment of the hospital. The
fund acquired by the Bourbon County
Hospital League will not constitute a
part of the endowment fund, accord
ing to the city officials, put this fund
will be used in furnishing a portion of
the Institution.

Bourbon Growers Handling
Tobacco.

The rains of the past week have
caused the tobacco to come into case,
and farmers of Bourbon have been
able to handle the new crup, and they
are busy all over the county stripping,
and large quantity of old tobacco has
been delivered to the warehouses.
Messrs. Isgrigg & Argo, of Paris,
sold to Mr.. William McCray. buyer for
Louisville firm, their 1911 crop of
tobacco, amounting to about 5000
pounds at 10 cents per pound for i'm
mediate delivery to the HutchcIaft
warehouse on the Clintonville pike.
While there is little debut that the
1909 pooled crop of tobacco has been
sold, and that the price is IS 2-3 cents
per pound, yet it seems scarcely pos
sible that the 81, $50, 600, which will be
realized by the Burley Society, will
be available for the purchase of
ChriStm as gifts. bet il is hoped that
the society will be ready to send
checks early in the new year.
The question which seems to be agi-
tating the minds of those most deeply
interested in the sale CT the pooled
crops, is how much CT the proceeds
will have to be deducted for expenses.
From the best sources CT information
procurable. iii figured that the total
cost of storing, prizing and insurance
o. the tobacco now in the pool has been
up to date less than cents a Pound or
about 81. so on the 100 pounds. This
deducted from SIC. so hundred pounds
for which the tobacco is reported to be
sold, will leave net price of S14. 20 to
be realized by the growers.
1t should not take more than a few
weeks to deliver the tobacco, as it is
all priced and in hOgsheads.
There will be joy and happiness
among the farmers and merchants of
Bourbon when the 5000. 600, which is
estimated to be the share of members
of this county, is distributed.
