THOMAS AT OWENTON.


OWENTON, KY, June 22.-Claude
M. Thomas to-day made strong
speech in behalf of his candidacy for
the Democratic nomination for Con
gress to a crowd which fairly well
filled the court house at Owenton.
Mr.. Thomas reviewed the record OF
Congressman J. Campbell Cantrill as
a consistent supporter of the liquor
interest in politics and told Of the
aid given by the Congressman to the
Republicans in the election of Cover.
nor Bradley to the Senate over Gov.
ernor Beckham.
Mr.. Thomas was introduced in a
pleasing manner by Judge ]. w. Cam
mack. A feature of the meeting was
the attendance of perhaps forty OF
the Cantrill organization from Scott
County, in automobiles, wearing big
red Cantrill badges. They aroused
considerable advers comment by
their presence, and their Haunting of
the badges before a crowd gathered
to hear the opponent of the candidate
they represented.
twenty-five residents of Scott Coun
ty, who formerly were citizens OF
Owen, came from Georgetown to hear
Mr. Thomas. He made a good i'm
preston, and the Cantril men in this
county are scared and some of them
are frank enough to admit it.

CENTRAL KENTUCKY IN
GRASP OF A TORRlD WAVE

For a week or more this section OF
Kentucky has been literally sizzling
under tropical sun, the mercury In
reliable thermometers ranging from
Sc to 101 at various times and places.
Sweltering humanity pursued ltS
everyday work in as little rainment as
the law allowed, and when the even
ing shadows crept on sought the out
doors for relief, all to no avail. The
heat at night almost equaled that OF
the daylight hours. Men and beast
alike suffered, and. while no prostra'
lions from heat have been officially
reported, there have been several
cases in the county.
The intense heat and the lack OF
rain has caused a temporary cessa-
ton in the work of tobacco trans
planting, and the growers are forced
to play the Wilson-Bryan plan OF
''Wathchful Waiting"

which the court records show was
made across Stoner Creek near the
Paris Mill in the year 1892, and which
was revealed in the dry channel Of
Stoner during the unprecedented

gaval bears this inscription: Present
ed to President j. B. Harris by the

TWO PARIS BANKS
CONSOLIDATED
INTO ONE.
Two Popular Financial Insti-
tutions Merge Under One
Head.
S. E. BEDFORD
NEW PRESIDENT
Consolidation Will Become
Effective Early in
July

AS the result of plans which have
been under consideration for several
days, and which were finally brought
to a head here Wednesday, two of the
best-known financial institutions in
the city, the Deposit Bank of Paris,
and the Peoples Bank, will be merged
into one institution, the consolidation
becoming effective early in July.
The combination was effected at a
joint meeting of the directors of both
bank, when all the details were work
ed out.
The Deposit Bank is the oldest
bank in Bourbon County, having been
originally organized in 1851, and has
long been one of the most popular and
prosperous banks of the city. Its last
statement showed deposits of $407,-
600, and loans of $4,000, while the
last statement of the Peoples Bank,
which began business in September,
1912 showed deposits of $4,000, and
loans of 100000. The combined cap
ital will be S150,000; deposits, $780,
900; loans, 100000; assets, $S50,O00.
The Peoples Bank has had business
existence of about twenty months.
Under the terms of the merger the
Peoples Bank will be liquidated and
all its assets and business merged
into the Deposit Bank and the stock
holders of the Peoples Bank will be
given an equal amount of stock in the
combined bank by paying enough to
equalize the stock value.
