who has been dead these many
years.
Polly roaming listlessly
around and is not the agile.
chattering parrot she was
20 years ago.
1t has not been so long since
Uncle Shem" went on a fishing
trip and left Polly" behind.
The green-plumed bird stood the
absence for a period and then
sought TO find him. From door
70 door and street to street.
Polly flew, shrilly calling
''Shem! Shem! Polly wants
papa!" The quest was of no
avail and Polly" took to the
woods, her shrill cries waited on
the summer breezes.
They finally reached Uncle
Shem" as he sat on creek bank,
watching the cork bob up on the
water as the perch were biting.
He answered and swift as
q meteor, Polly" flew through
the foliage of trees aud lit on
his shoulder.
Polly" is one of the most
prolific conversationalists of her
feathered tribe. The bird is a
welcome visitor in many homes.
Just now Polly" is longing for
springtime when on his shoulder
there will be fun in accompany
ing Uncle Shem. ("

Vibrating with melody. its
tones penetrating the distance
and then borne back upon the
echo. an old bronze dinner bell
was heard on the street Monday
that has a story replete with
stirring incidents of pioneer days
and episodes Of the ante-bellum
period. isll
The bell is nearly century
old and was hammered out Of
brass composition at a foundry OF
the primitive pattern that was
operated in Paris, on Peden Hill,
in 1923. It is now in possession
Of Mrs. A. 7. Rogers. the mother
Of Assistant Postmaster Ross
Rogers. "
The owner is a daughter OF
Cornelius Peden who died years
ago and who was one of the set
tiers of Paris, hewing the logs
that constructed the first house
in this city, situated on what is
known as Peden Hill. Much of
the material used in it's construc-
ton was patterned with toma-
hawks, loaned by the band of
friendly Indians occupying this
territory at that time.
This bell summoned the foun.
dry hands to dinner in those days
as its clear tone pealed forth and
|re-echoed through the woodland.
Other settlers of that day in
cluded the McCampbell and
Williams families.
The bell attracts comment
through its wonderful tone, so
different from the average brass
bell of modern manufacture. It
has recently been pressed into
service by the Baraca-P -Philathea
lyceum organization in advertis-
ing their attractions at the local
theatre this winter.
