HIXON Goes BACK
top PADUCAH must
FACE UGLY CHARGE

Officer Clark, of Paducah,
came to Paris on Tuesday to get
Will Hixon, who had been held
in Jail here in connection with
the murder of the negro Louis
Reynolds at Paducah on August
8. When an effort was made to
take Hixon to Paducah several
days earlier he demanded requi,
sition, and it is understood that
the papers were secured, although
they had not reached here when
Clark arrived Tuesday.
However, Hixon accompanied
the officer to Paducah Tuesday
afternoon and is being held in
Jail there.
Of the five men held in connec-
tion with the killing only one,
Dallas Smith, has succeeded in
making bond. Smiths bond was
fixed at $500; Ed James $500;
Arthur Cashon $1,000, and Sevis
Hansel is held without bail. Of
ficers are on the lookout for a
younger brother of Arthur
Cashon, who, according to the
other prisoners, did the shooting.
Anna Laura Wayne, the woman
who was with Reynolds when he
was killed, claims that Hansel
did the shooting, it is said.

SPlCER TO OCCUPY
HOUSE ON SQUARE

After 16 years in the under
taking business in Paris, during
which time his business has
shown a healthy growth, j. r.
Spicer is preparing to have an
establishment possibly second to
none in the state in appoint
ments. There may be others in
the larger cities which will be
larger and finer, but it is said
that as to completeness it will be
thoroughly modern.
In order to have an establish
ment according to his plans it is
necessary to get larger quarters,
and this he has done by secur-
ing the stand formerly occupied
by the Paris Drug Co., recently
damaged by fire. Workmen are
now busily engaged in remodel
ing the building for Mr.. Spicer's
occupancy by or before October /.
The front part of the building
will be used as a business office
and for the display of his Hoos-
ier kitchen cabinets, his phono-
graphs and perhaps other mer-
chandise.
The central portion will be
converted into a chapel where
funeral services may be held
when desired. This part will al
SO be used as a show room for
his funeral goods which range
from a cheap coffin to the high
est priced copper lined caskets
and grave vaults.
The rear portion will be COM
pletely equipped morgue, finished
in snowy white and capable of
taking care Of any reasonable
emergency.
1t is a fact that Spicer is not
only up to the times but it has
been said by people in a position
to know that he is far ahead of
those in similar business in towns
of like size. not only in his mer-
chandise but his high priced
rolling stock Of hearses. etc.
Mr.. Spicer is an enterprising
and desirable citizen who de-
serves the popularity and sue
| cess he enjoys.

Four members of the city
council Mayor A. B. Scates and
Aldermen R. L. Dunlap, J. M.
Freeman and ]. M. Pierce were
present at the adjourned meet
ing of that body on Friday night,
when property owners were or

Another matter of Importance
was the acceptance by the N. C.

ing.
The council granted the w. O.
w. uniform rank encampment,

sewers in the following territory:
Beginning at the intersection of
Dunlap and Thompson streets,

This includes all of the proper
ty abutting on both sides of the
streets named, and all property
within the section bounded by
those streets.
The only other business of
Importance was to instruct the
Board of Public Works to inves-
tigate the plan for community
closets in certain sections Of the
city, and the purchase of three
flashlights for the use of the fire
company.

First Nominations Made In
PariSian's Great Campaign
VOTE SCHEDULE

L
Today The Partisan publishes a
list of all those who have been
nominated up to the present
time in its Mammoth Premium
Distribution and Circulation
Campaign. Nominations will be
open for some time yet and the
list should be still larger than it
it is today.
While the list today is long
one it must be remembered that
many of those already nominated
will not become active workers,
and as there are two capital
prizes for each district it will
take a large list cf nominations
to develop the four prize win
ners. We are offering a prize
list that will attract a great deal
of attention and competition and
The Partisan wants all those who
wish to enter the campaign to
nominate themselves and become
active workers.
There are no obligations at
tached to entering this campaign.
Nominations cost nothing. A
contestant cannot possibly lose
anything, for cash commission
of ten per cent, and a $100 Cash
Value Certificate will be awarded
all who work and do not win one
|of capital prizes. 1t is friend
ly campaign that The Partisan
has inaugurated, with handsome
rewards to the winners, and no
obligations of any kind what
ever.
In making up today's list for
publication, every effort was
made to prepare it with accuracy
and the names of those who
have declined to enter have been
eliminated. If, however, errors
of any kind are called to the at
tention of the manager they will
be promptly corrected.
In this campaign the manage
ment of The Partisan is offering
the opportunity of a lifetime to
energetic ladies who wish to own
a piano. A beautiful $4OO piano
for only a few weeks soliciting
subscriptions to this paper is not
an opportunity that comes every
day.
The prize list is large enough
and selected with sufficient care
to attract the attention of any
one who can devote a few spare
hours to the campaign.
There are two ways of secur-
ing votes. One by clipping out
the coupon in each issue of the
paper, which is good for so
votes. Then votes are issued on
the payment of both old and new
subscriptions to The Parisian.
This is by far the most effective
way.
You can solicit subscriptions
| in both districts.
Those considering entering the
! campaign are advised to act

First Seed Corn Test is Due Now.
1t is time to make the first test of
seed corn now. While complete test
ing for termination should take place
shortly before the seed is planted, it
is a cheap precaution for farmers who
have any doubt about the vitality of
their corn to make a preliminary test
with a few typical ears at once.
Samples should be selected at ran
dom from various parts Of the rack.
and test made Of these. If the tests
show that the seed is good, the own
err has but to continue his care of it
until time to make the complete test.
If the test indicates low vitality, q
more thorough test should be made
to show whether it is safe to plant
the seed. If the test is begun at
once, it will be finished in time to
look after getting better seed, if nee.
essary.

Have the seeds been tested? Do it
now. 1t pays.
Secure the best strains of seed pos
sible. Cheap seeds never pay.
Asters that are to be grown in the
greenhouse must be sown now.
Now is good time to get the seed
flats and soil ready for sowing seed
and transplanting seedlings.
Do not use high temperatures in the
greenhouse or hotbeds. Weak, tender
plants too often result.
Prizetaker onions should be started
in the greenhouse or hotbed, if large
onions are wanted.
Good plants to use on poor soil are
nasturtiums, zinnias, petunias, pop
pies, candytuft and portulaca.
The snowberry and wolfberry are
two natives that deserve attention
from more planters.
See that the entrance to the farm
is neat and clean. Appearances may
be improved by group of shrubs at
either side.
Most of the seed catalogs are being
distributed now. Send for several and
study them. They will prove inter
| esting and valuable, though only few
| seeds are ordered.
