Unchaste Amusements.


Another contributors factor is thu
increasing craze for eXcitable and un-
chaste amuscmcnts. The dance, never
perhaps what could he wished has be-
come the subject of indesCribably vul-
gar joke and is calling out the con-
dcmnation of many holding high plac-
IS of ecclesiastical authority. The
moving picture shows, although under
what is claimed to he strict censor
ship, are calculated To inlame the
thoughts and emotions of the young.
The theatre, with it's outragcously nip
pant handling of sex problems and sit
uations, as well as the notorious dis
regard of so many of its leaders for
high standards of marital and even or
binary moral relations. is laying a net
that must scduce and capture a con-
siderable part of our rising generation.
Literature Also Blamed.
The literature of the day present
another very serious factor in this
great problem. Perhaps we are not
mistaken when we speak Of it as one
of the most alarming SYMPTOMS of a
general condition that seems bad in
deed. Nearly every work Of fiction
that is printed today has woven some
where in its plot the intricacies Of "a
sex question. The book reviews are
long series of descriptions Of such
stories. one would imagine there was
no other problem in peoples minds to-
day. And the most grave feature Of IL
seems TO he that this is what they ap-
pear to want
1T may be that the flood of unclean
literature, while much TO he deploced,
could not have been altogether unex-
pected, and is partly an evidence Of
an awakened conscience. " this ele-
ment ~ hopefuluess Is discovcrablc.

Notice.

To the Voters Of Henry County:
1t has been suggested to me
that there are a few people in
Henry county under the impress
sion that | will not support Mr..
j. E. j. Lax, our Democratic
nominee for Representative.
These people evidently do not
know me, and for their benefit,
| desire to say that | never voted
anything but the Democratic
ticket in my life and never ex-
pect to. Not only am | for Mr..
Lax, but | have been working
for him for the past six weeks as
Secretary of the Democratic
Committee, and | want to urge
my friends who stood by me in
the Primary to go to the polls on
election day and vote for him.
Respectly,
BAXTER SWEENEY.

B. M. c NOTES.

In a few days the directory of
members of the Paris Business
Mems Association will be pub
lished in this paper. Our peo-
pie of Paris and Henry county
can then see who the men are
who think enough Of our people
and our city and county to donate
a few dollars each month for the
purpose of development of our
resources. These men deserve
your commentator and your
patronage. There are not many
merchants of Paris who have re-
fused to lend a helping hand.
Paris is getting on the map in
a clean, dignified, honorable way.
The Secretary of the B. M. C
needs pour support. He can do
nothing worth while without
your aid and suggestion. Come
over.
1t is true that cotton is down,
but that's no reason that men
should get down. The Master
has protecte d and shielded
good men ever since 1.-THE begin
ming of the world.
The Business Mems Club
needs another hundred good men.
Your support is needed. Join
now. Help the town that helps
you to make a living.
The B. M. is attracting the
attention of men of means in
other sections, and we will have
a chance to develop our natural
resources if we stay on the job.
Don't wait for somebody to do
things for you. Do things your
self. And remember that Coop
Grafton and concerted action is
what we need in Paris and Hen
ry county if we are to be a sue
cessful people. The B. M. C is
a banded bunch of busy workers
who are not at all selfish. Join
EN- now.
We see the cotton. Where is
the butter and eggs and chick
ems and potatoes and corn and
wheat and rye and barley and
sheep and cattle? We can't eat
cotton and we can't afford to
raise it just for fun.

CITIZENS BANK AT
MURRAY, KY, CLOSES

The Citizens Bank at Murray.
KY, regarded by many to be the
most substantial institution at
that place, at Banking hours
Monday morning failed to open
its doors for business, and a
notice was posted stating that
the bank was in the hands of the
banking commissioners. About
10 o'clock a notice was posted
saying that a meeting of the
stockholders and creditors would
be held in the opera house at II
o'clock. At the appointed hour
the house was filled with credit
ors of the bank and L. Y. Wood
ruff, president Of the institution,
sent for Mr.. S. H. Dees, general
adviser of the Bank of Murray;
G S. Fulton, cashier of the Far
mers and Merchants Bank; R. T.
Wells and Mr.. Marchman, of
Paducah, KY, who are attor-
neys for the bank. The crowd
awaited their arrival impatiently,
and on their arrival Mr.. Wood
ruff made a statement to the
creditors saying that it was not
because of any bad management
or default of any kind that
forced the Dank to close its
doors, but that the money had
been let out in the ordinary
course of banking with the rea-
sonable expectation that the
notes would be paid as they fell
due, out that on account or the
stringency of the money condi-
tons that the farmers were I'M
able to meet their notes and
these expectancies not being re-
allied that there was not left
enough money on hand to pay
the depositors.
The bank had a capital of $40, :
900. The officers are: L. Y.
Woodruff, president; H. B. Gil

$500, 900 BOND ISSUE FOR
ROADS In HENRY COUNTY

ter by far and happier than the
man who simply has something
to live on. As past generations
have softened the path for US,
let US in return pave 3the roads
for those who shall later follow
u.s."
After twenty minutes discus
sion, the convention went on
record in favor of immediate
plans relative to a $25O,0O good
road bond issue for Henry coun-
ty. The resolution was unani-
nous and a committee will at
once get busy upon preliminary
steps.
The free public auctions have
been held in front OF the court
house every day this week from
one to two O'Clock. Secretary
Daniel of the Business Men s
Club has been acting auctioneer
and a great deal of fun has been
derived from the auctions. A
number of articles have been
sold for different people.
Henry County Live Stock.
When it comes to live stock
Henry county is right in the lead
and Paris can show as many
fancy driving rigs as can be
found in any city of like size in
the world. The slump in cotton
has taught our farmers a very
valuable lesson and one by which
they will profit. Our farmers
are turning their attention to
cereals, foodatuffs and live stock.
Paris exhibited some driving rigs
Tuesday afternoon that would
have been a credit to any horse
show.
Merchants Day.
Tuesday was Merchants Day
in Paris. The merchants had
their windows nicely arranged
and the back as we'll as front of
their stores were artistically ar
ranged. The prize winners for
the best window displays were
johnson & VanCleave, Holland
& Brown and Warren & Murray.
! Quite a number of other mer-
chants had windows worthy of
mention. All merchants are Of
! fering special inducements dur
ing the entire week.
Friday AID Saturday will be
the biggest days Of the week and
a record breaking crowd is ex-
pected to be in Paris on these
two days. The people are invit-
ed here to sell as we'll as buy.
Anything the people desire to
sell will be handled free of
charge by the auctioneer.

ling farmers and merchants of
Henry county and out-of-town
visitors, met in convention at
the courthouse here Monday af-
ternoon. Charles F. Williams
was made temporary chairman
| of the convention and what is to
be hereafter known as the Hen
| ry County Goods Roads associa-
ton. The meeting was an en-
thusiastic one from start to fin
ish. A number of inspiring
talks were made and the unani-
nous desire for better roads in
Henry county was recorded
Louis Spencer Daniel, of the
Paris Business Mems club, was
called to address the convention.
Mr.. Daniel has done excellent
work for the south along good
road lines, and is vice chairman
of the Georgia Good Roads asso-
citation and managing director of
the Savannah (Ga. to Montgom.
cry (Ala.) highway. His ad-
dress, in part as follows, was
well received:
In this late day and time it
sounds like waste of valuable
time to argue good roads as a
necessity for religious, educa-
tional and financial development.
1t is not good for man to live
alone, and you fellows that have
been living alone away out yon-
der in the country, where the
lroads are so bad that civilization
cannot come to see you and
where 1t is very hard for you to
travel to civilization, ought to
know this. If you will examine
the records of the insane asylum,
you will find that rs per cent of
the inmates are from isolated ru-
raj districts. Especially is iso-
lation detrimental to the women
of our country. 1t is bad for a
woman to live alone, and she
comes pretty near living alone
when she has no company but
he who is not man of energy
and brain enough to get a road
made out to his home.
Il appeal to you for bond is
sue of not less than $3.50, 900 and
not more than 100000 for the
purpose of building county site
highways in Henry county.
This is not sentiment. 1t is bus
mess, and so simple that a fifth
grade public school boy will
swear to you that what | say to
you is absolutely true. Every
dollar spent by you for a road
that will lead to and from your
farm increases your personal and
realty wealth 100 per cent at the
lowest estimate. If you are too
busy to seek civilization and So
ciality, build the roads and civil
cation and sociality and enlight-
eminent will seek you via the au-
tomobile at the rate of many
miles per hour.
There is but one time to do a
thing, gentlemen, and that is
now. A county can never have
good roads by dishing out a few
thousand or a few hundred dol
lars year in the old way. Many
counties have spent thousands
in the years past and can not
show you a good road finished,
in the entire county. The way
to build is altogether, with the
proper provision for the contin-
'ual upkeeping of the roads after
we get them. Had Henry coun-
ty spent $3.50, 900 derived from
bond issue, ten years ago, the
wealth of this county would have
today been increased many mil
lions instead of many thousands.
What we need is business
and not politics and the only
platform by which we can travel
to success and happiness is good
roads. Men who are today wor-
ryipn about mhaf RI live On S
