ELOQUENT SPEECH
BY GREAT SPEAKER
MR.. DICKSON DELIVERS ADDRESS
FULL OF FEELING AT CORNER
STONE LAYING.

The subject assigned me upon this
occasion, "Our Church." is a broad and
most comprehensive one. 1t covers a
period of 100 years in time, and In
wolves so many men who were promi-
nent In the affairs not only of our local
community, but in the affairs of the
State and nation, as well as so many
incidents of the most interesting char
acter, that 1t is impossible for me at
this time to do more than simply re-
fer to some of the more important
characters and the most interesting in.
cidents. To undertake to do more
than to merely refer to some of the
more important events and person
ages would far transcend the limits of
the time allotted to me upon this occa-
sion and would be an unwaranted in
trusion upon your patience.
The first Presbyterian Church of
Paris was organized in the year 1887,
only five years after the celebrated
battle of Blue Licks and five years
before the adoption by the people OF
Kentucky of the first Constitution of
the State, and before Kentucky ever
became a State, and before Bourbon
County had ever been organized or
named It is as old as the National
Government, and it was organized and
came into being in the same year in
which the Constitution of the United
| States was adopted.
And l may here say, with some par
donable pride, that it has been stated
/ by eminent and well recognized his
torical authority that the Presbyteri'
ans exercised very great influence in
the formation of the Federal Consti-
tuition, and that the principles of the
government of this church were large
ly assimilated into the form Of this
Constitution And | dare say if it be
true that the Presbyterians did exer
else any controlling influence in the
formation of that instrument, in view
of the sufferings and the prosecutions

HEAVY HAIL VISITS
PARIS TUESDAY
Continued Oh Page o.

One of the heaviest hailstorms OF
recent years, though, perhaps, not
the most destructive, visited Paris and
portions of Bourbon county just after
noon Tuesday. The hail followed
rain that fell a few minutes before
and lasted about fifteen minutes,
long enough to wreak destruction on
gardens, trees and shrubbery. as well
as 'inflicting substantial property
losses in several Instances.
Scores CT citizens, shortly after the
hail, reported they had picked up hail
stones as large as hen eggs The
stones seemed to have been formed in
masses like some of the old-fashioned
pebbles Of our youthful days. The
fall of hail was not as thick as have
been some others, or the damage
would have been threefold.
About one-third of the glass in the
greenhouses of Mr.. John Christman,
the florist, in South Paris, was shat
tered, entailing a loss of about $500.
The glass was broken out of nearly
every frame over the hot beds on the
farm of Mr.. Gus Christman, near
Paris. The same loss was sustained
by Mr.. ]. E. Kreigel, who lives on the
Bethlehem pike. near Paris. The
force of the hail broke down garden
stuff at both places, while all over the
city lawns were Uttered with the
leaves stripped from shade trees. The
hail damaged the roof of Caywood &
McClintock's mule barn on South
Main street Growing vegetables in
all the gardens were damaged. Sew
eral month-old chickens at the home
of Mr. Thomas Butler, in East Paris,
were killed by the hail A horse at
tached to the delivery wagon OF the
Paris Milling Company took fright
during the pelting of the hail and ran
away, but no damage was done to the
horse or the vehicle.
The hail did not extend over any
considerable portion of the county, as
no damage has been reported from
several sections. There was no hail
in the North Middletown vicinity,
though the appearance of heavy clouds
caused some apprehension among the
jollifiers at the big fish fry on the
Simms farm.
THE NEWS man clicked up hall
stone in front of the Fordham Hotel
a short time after the aerial lombard
ment had ceased that measured two
and one-half inches in circumference
and three inches in length. He had
. his tape measure with him and the
measurements were witnessed by a
number of spectators.

"ANGELSOF MERCY"
THE RED CROSS
WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION
AND A PARTIAL LIST OF THE
MEMBERS.

Citizens of Paris and Bourbon
county have noted the progress of the
campaign for membership in the Bour-
bon County Chapter of the American
Red Cross. They have been asked to
stock, dollars worth of stock, in
the greatest organization of good Sa-
maritans the world has ever known
The American Red Cross.
By Saturday night, the time set for
the wind-up of the campaign every
citizen of this city and county will
have been requested to take single
years membership in the organization
that has demonstrated in a thousand
ways it's ability to efficiently cope
with want and suffering, wher-
ever found, and on the broadcast scale
imaginable. The coat lapels of scores
of Paris men are decorated with the
Red Cross button, badge of honor
and testimonial to the efforts of the
campaign committee.
Since the formation of the Red Cross
Society it has become a household
word, and its noble work has been felt
in every part of the civilized world
Let great calamity befall the city of
Paris, KY, some highland such
, thing is by no means impossible-ano
1.-THE American Red Cross will have its
angels of mercy on the scene before
many hours have passed. Distance
and time and money are not obstacles
where humanity is in distress, and
| the American Red Cross, while never
wasteful, does not stop to count the
cost when human life is at stake or
suffering is to be alleviated.
It's an honor to belong to the great
est humanitarian organization the
world has ever known. It's a noble
thing to know that you are lending not
only your moral but your financial
support to such an institution. It's
worth something to know, when you
pick up the papers and read of
catastrophe somewhere in this broad
land, that the American Red Cross
agents are there, angels of mercy,
your personal representatives on the
scene of suffering.
You will still have chance between
now and Saturday night, and for any
