Gov. Rye Visits Boyhood Home.

Gov. Tom C. Rye spent the
weekend at Camden, the home
of his boyhood. While there
Saturday night he laid aside his
coat and shook hands with almost
the entire population of the
town. Sunday morning he, to-
gether with Mrs. Rye, attended
the children's day exercises at
the Methodist church, at the
conclusion of which the governor
was called on by the superinten-
dent to make a short talk. Gov.
Rye responded with much feeling
saying he was proud to be there
again and to see the children of
his old home being taught the
principle of enlisting under the
banner of Christ rather than in
the war of nations, that while
almost all the old world was
writing history with a pen of
blood, this nation was strong for
peace.

SOME THINGS ABOUT
HENRY COUNTY'S FAIR
Association Will Endeavor to Make
Coming Event Best
Ever Held.

Everybody likes to look at
something good to eat. They
might prefer to eat the aforesaid
articles, but if such is impossible
then they like to just look at
them. That is the reason that
the Culinary Department of the
Henry County Far always at
tracts so much attention and is
the object of so much favorable
comment from the fair visitors.
Just think of it. First of
course comes cakes-pound cake,
devils food cake, angel food
cake, fruit cake and ten dozen
other kinds of cakes, as we'll as
tea cakes. Then preserves of all
kinds, jellies, pickle sour sweet
and mixed. Canned fruit and
vegetables, jams and everything
of that kind. We could go on
and name them to you if space
would permit and if it didn't
make as want to quit right here
and go to lunch. However this
gives you some idea of the sweet
things and others that are to be
seen at the Henry County Fair
this fall.
The Fair Association and the
Superintendent of this depart
ment spare no pains to make the
Culinary department one of the
most interesting and best enjoyed
departments of the fair.
The Floral Hall and Culinary
departments this year are under
the direction of Mrs. W. D.
Looney, as superintendent, Miss
Sue Fox, secretary and the fol-
lowing able assistants: Misses
Annie Nance, Fannie Walters,
Susie May Peoples, Grace Webb,
Bessie McGehee, Ruth Howard,
Kate Dorch, Lucy Alexander,
Jennie Etheridge and Mrs. Has
sell Pritchett and Mrs James D.
Beasley. Mrs. Looney was sup
erintendent of this department
at one of the best fairs ever held
in this county and her connection
with the department this year
guarantees it's success. All Of
the other ladies have had exper-
fence in this work and the Fair
Association is indeed fortunate
in securing their help.
In the Floral Hall department:
many dollars is given in prem
iums on fine arts, fancy work,
sewing of all kinds, and many
other things.
In the Floral Hall and Culinary
department the regular money
premiums for the 1915 fair
amount to $189, besides a large
number of special premiums
which are offered on different
things by the enterprising mer-
chants and business men of our
town and county. The ladies of
the county will no doubt take ad-
vantage of this splendid opportu-
nifty to exhibit their sewing, arts,
etc., as we'll as their cookery.
The Parisian's job department
is at work on the 1915 catalog of
the fair. When it is out, which
will be in a short while, get a |
copy from the secretary and
prepare your exhibits for the
best fair that Henry county has
ever known. Remember the
dates are September 20, 80,
October / and 2, 1915 four big
days.

HENRY FOUNTAINS
LAND HIGHWAY
Get Mayfield-Paris Link Of The
Paducah and Memphis
Highway.

|
of a number of members of the
Business Mems Club, headed by
Secretary Daniel returned Friday
night from Mayfield, KY, where
they went before the Graves
County Fiscal Court and Judge
Gregory to make fight for the
Mayfield-P Paris link of the Padu-
cah- Memphis Highway. T n e
committee reported an all day
fight, in which they were strong
| ly backed by the delegation from
the southern part of Graves
county. The decision of the
court was almost unanimous in
favor of running the highway
from Mayfeld to Paris instead
| of carrying it west to Fancy
Farm and Bardwell, The Graves
County Court appropriated suffi-
cient funds to carry their part of
the highway to the Tennessee
line where Henry county joins
and brings it in to Paris. Judge
Gregory phoned the Paris B. NJ.
c., Saturday morning that the
work would begin that day and
be pushed to completion without
delay. Paris will carry the High
way south and link it to the
Memphis Bristol Highway into
Memphis and Nashville.
The people of Paris and Hen
ry county consider they have
won a great victory and much in
terest is manifested.
Secretary Daniel fired the
opening shot at Mayfield and
was followed by General J. W.
Lewis, Chas. F. Williams and j.
c. Rainey. This victory virtual
ly puts Paris and Mtyfeld on
the map when it comes to out,
lets via. highways. The follow
ing delegates went from Henry
county and are complimented for
their good work. C. L. Harris,

McSWain, G F. Williams, Joe
Stewart, Will Carter, Clint Rain
ey, DR.. McRee, Will Bowden, L.
B. Price and Carl Brown.
The entire Paris and Henry
county delegation were delighted
with the hospitable reception &C
corded them in Mayfield. They
complained because nobody in
Mayfeld would take their money, |
not even for soda water and CT
gars.
The question now arises what |
will Henry county do?' 1t is
now up to US to join the Ken
lucky Highway at the the Hen
ry county line in order that Ben
ton county may carry it on into
Camden where it will link with
the great Bristol Nashville Mem
phis Highway. A great oppor-
tunity now presents itself to the
people of Henry county and
Paris. Every citizen desires this
great highway but the problem
to oe solved is how will Henry
county and Paris get the money
to build the highway through |
this county. This is a problem
that is taxing many minds. |
Secretary Daniel of the B. M. C. |
has a solution of the problem, |
but is keeping it under cover
pending meeting which will be
held in the B. M. c., rooms
within the next few days. It the
meeting sanctions his method of :

 The show was by far the largest and most comprehensive exhibit O, the poultry industry of the state. and staged in a manner that would do credit to a city several times the size Of Tucson, but something less than $50 was received from admissions.
