SKINNAY HAD
A CELEBRATION
YOUNGSTERS WE'RE OUT LAST
EVENING IN OBSERVANCE OF
ALL SAINTS EVE.

Realization of hopes, dreams. and
arduous planning!
That's what last NIGHT meant to
the host of small boys who have
been looking forward eagerly since
school opened for a chance to don
the old, patched suit and the dirty
cap and so forth in search OF fields
to conquer. It was the night of
nights. Halloween.
How long the small boy lays and
dreams OF the deed he shall do and
the way he shall do it, no one but
the small boy knows.
Yet last nights celebration was
much less destructive than many of
those which have preceded it 1o
s9egip with there was q dance which
Kept most OF the sportive youths
busy and then there was the big
force of special policemen. 1t was
understood that Nothing would be
done ii the pranlls did not DESTROY
property or menace life and limb
and as most of the celebrants stayed
within this restriction, not single
arrest was made during the night
There was only one call and that
came because group of older boys
had removed the grating on the APP
proach to the bridge leading to the
south side on sanborn street and
had hurled it down the embankmenl.
leaving q dangerous hole for pedes-
trians. This was soon fixed by the
police force, but the offenders were
not to be found.
The damage done by the maraud-
ers was in general very slight y few
were demolished, but
only a few and in widely scattered
portions of the city. The South
side was probably affected the worst,
quite little recklessness being evil
dent in that locality
OF course, the carrier part of the
evening was sacred to the jack O lam
tern and its accessories Door bells
furnished their usual target and
few ropes found Their way across
larkened portions OF the sidewalk.
Put it was a quiet and harmless
Halloween, taken all in all. The

Rev. D. T. Spaulding came
very near losing his life Sunday
afternoon when his horse knocked
him into ditch and fell in upon
him near the home of Sam Jack
son east of Paris.
Rev. Spaulding preached at
Friendship Sunday morning and
was on his way to the county
home, where he was to deliver
a sermon, when he stopped to
water his horse. Getting out of
his buggy, he led the horse down
to the water and when the
animal had finished drinking
started to lead him out. Sudden

SpaUlding was thrown into the
ditch and the horse fell in upon
him. Being hitched to the bug

NAME COMMITTEE TO RAISE
FUNDSFOR BOYS DORM TORY
Prof. Robinson, Col. Barton,
Rev. Lavender and Others
Talk At Meeting

By a rising vote that was
unanimous the mass meeting of
citizens held at the courthouse
Saturday afternoon decided to
name a committee to go before
the county court and urge that a
special school tax of 5 cents be
levied for the support of the
Grove High School.
This action was taken upon
motion of Col. O. c. Barton, who
also moved that a committee be
appointed to solicit funds for the
erection of a boys dormitory at
Grove and for repairs on the
building. This motion was also
adopted unanimously.
The mass meeting, of which
DR.. G. L. Powers was chairman
and County Superintendent Joe
Routon secretary, and which was
held in conjunction with a meet
ing of the joint boards of the
Grove school, heard some inter-
esting talks from Prof. w. T.
Robinson, DR.. E. A. Travis, w.
c. Johnson, Rev. B. B. Laven-
der, Rev. B. F. Smith, Col. o. C.
Barton, J. M. Porter and others.
The committee named to put
the question of a special 5 cent
school tax up to the county court
is composed of John D. Atkins,
J. w. Tyson, Will M. Huddle-
ston, A. G. Alexander. J. T.
Porter. w. R. Walters and DR..
E. A. Travis.
The committee to raise funds
for the erection of a dormitory
and for the repairs is composed
of w. c. Johnson, Joe Routon,
DR.. E. A. Travis, j. M. Porter,
Capt. j. w. Travis, W. R. Lasa-
ter and c. P. Hudson.
The total cost of the proposed
dormitory for boys will be
$13. SOC, which is considerably
less than was at first expected
and the costs of the repairs that
are proposed is So, 356, making a
total of $16,856.
The committee expects to have
little difficulty in raising the

for help until he was almost
exhausted, and finally got his
knife from the pocket of his coat
and commenced to cut the har-
ness from the horse. When he
had completed this task the
animal was able to move about
sufficiently to allow Rev. Spauld-
ing TO escape. The man fell,
exhausted, to the ground. A
few minutes later Will Lee hap
pened along and found man and
animal.
Lee summoned help and after
Rev. Spaulding had regained his
strength to certain extent, the
horse was dug out of the hole.
1t is considered miraculous that
Rev. Spaulding was moi killed in
the accident. However, he was
unhurt, although pinned beneath
the horse for nearly thirty
minutes.

CANDIDATES IN RACES
Primary Committee Will Meet
Soon for Purpose of
Organization
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ON
AUGUST 3; RUN-OFF LATER
Browning, Lyon and Terry Are
Only Announced Candi-
dates for House

With the Democratic state con-
vention thing of the past, the
race for Representative will pro-
badly next hold the attention of
local politicians. Three candi-
dates, To. Browning, R. W. Lyon
and R. M. Terry, are already in
the field and quite a number of
other Democrats have been sug-
gested.
The general belief is that when
the contestants go to the post in
the primary on August 8 that
there will be a full field-pro.
badly six or seven.
When the county committee
called the primary for August 8
and the run-off for August 10,
it also named primary COM
mittee of seven members, which
is to have charge of the primary.
This committee has not yet Or
ganized, but will likely do so in
the near future. At the same
time that organization is effected,
the committee will likely provide
rules and regulations for the
primary and set a date for quail
fications to close.
The primary committee is COM
posed of j. M. Freeman, D. E.
Bomar. w. D. Cooper, Harrison

None of the candidates for the
House have yet entered upon an
active campaign, although all of
them are mixing with the voters
at every opportunity. 1t is
understood that some of the
candidates favor a joint speaking
canvass of the county, and it
seems more than likely that the

chants AS To Business
All Smiling

Every business firm in Paris
reports record-breaking sales
Saturday. Some declare that it
was the best day in twelve
months and many say that they
did a bigger business than upon
any other day since Christmas
ere. One or two of the new
firms declare that they sold more
goods than upon any other day
sincethev opened.
Prosperity has returned to Paris
md Henry county. Hard times
are aFthing of the past. This is
evidenced by Saturdays busi-
ness, which was not confined to
any one line of business but
reached every firm. Grocers,
dry goods merchants, cloth ers,
hardware stores, Jewellers, drug
gists and in fact everybody re-
ports great day.
Just as the big sales were not
confined to any certain lines of
business, the customers were
not of any particular class Of
people. While the railroad en-
ployes were in evidence about
the stores Saturday night, the
pay-car having run that day, a
large number of people from the
rural sections also did much buy
ing.
The extra days work that the
railroad boys are now getting
each week seemed to stimulate
business, while the farmers
seemed more willing to turn loose
their money than formerly.
Everybody is apparently con-
vinced that the "close money"
period has ended and that pros
perity in big chunks is again
with US.
Saturdays big business will
compare very, very favorably
with business one year ago. At
thattime business was at a stand
still and people were buying only
what was absolutely required.

er or not the business was good
