MAY OIL THE
STREETS OF PARIS

Mayor Freeman, president of
the Business Mems Club, has ap-
pointed a committe to ascertain
1.-THE wishes of the merchants and
citizens relative to dust laying in
Paris, for the summer. The
committee has done excellent
work and reports about 80 to one
in favor of oiling the streets in
preference to watering or sprink-
ling.
The B. M. c., which is now
composed Of nearly every bust
ness and professional man in
Paris, is almost unanimously in
favor of oil for se1e.al reasons.
First, because it keeps the dust
down all the time; second, be-
cause it is less expensive and will
give better service; third, because
the oil prevents the dirt washing
from the streets; fourth, because
it is more sanitary and helps us
to get rid of the mosquitoes etc.
The merchants and residence
owners propose to buy the oil
and the city proposes to have it
properly placed upon the streets.
It is hoped that the business por-
ton and a good portion of the
residence section will arrange
with the committee to place the
oil on the street in front of their
property.

ESQ. JAS. n. PIERCE RICE.
FOR ALDERMAN

Esq. Jas. M. Pierce is in the
race for a berth in the city
council and in spite of a brok-
en- hip. his friends feel sure ne
will show his heels to all the
rest of the entries.
Jim Pierce is one of the best
liked men in Henry county, bar
none, and those who know him
best are his warmest friends and
most ardent admirers.
He has never knowingly
wronged any man and if he is
elected and doesn't do the right
thing by every man, woman and
child within the corporate limits
of Paris, it will be an error OF
the head and not the heart.
Not only this but he can see as
far through a mill stone as the
next one, and it will be no easy
matter to chase a blind calf over
him. With such .unselfish mer
at the head of the city govern
ment there will be an upbuildine
of Paris upon a safe, economi
cal and equitable plan.

Commission FORM
OF GOVERNMENT

The Paris Business Mems Club
is thoroughly investigating the
commission form of government
for Paris and for Henry county.
The secretary has been request
ed to arrange all dates and infor-
nation along this line, and as
quickly as possible let the people
of Paris and of Henry county
have a chance to study the ques-
ton and determine for them
selves whether or not the COM
mission form is superior than the
present system.
The commission form of gov
eminent is very popular wherever
it has been adopted, and under
no circumstances would the peo-
pie consent to return to the old
form of magistrates in the coun-
ty, or mayor and aldermen in the
cities. It is generally believed
that when the people of Henry
county have an opportunity to
know the working plans of the
commission form Of government
they will like it and see the wis
dom of it.
Secretary Daniel has been au-
thorized to make plans for pub
licity along this line so that our
people may have a chance to
study the new and economic sys-
tenn. There is no criticism in
tended for either the city council
or the magistrates of the county
court; but the commission gov
eminent is said to be far SUI
perior, and in justice to all con-
cerned, it is desired that our
people have a chance to study
the the question and make their
own decisions. Meetings enmasse
will be arranged within the next
few days, one for the citizens of
Paris and the other for every
citizen of the county.
Henry county and Paris want
every good thing possible for her
people. Those in power have no
other intention beyond the good
and welfare of our general citi-
zenship.
