OCTOBER COURT DAY.

The coming of October court day
saw one of the biggest crowds in the
city than on any similar occasion for
many months. The fine weather, the
splendid progress the farmers have
been making with their crops, and
the general easy tone of the situation
all tended to make the day in the
nature of vacation for the agricuI-
turiSts.
There was a good supply of mules
and horses on the market and deal
ers were kept busy in making trans
actions. A large number changed
hands at good prices. The general
tone of business was good and indi-
Gated set determination among all
classes to keep business as usual"
The itinerant street preacher divided
time and attention of the crowd
with the "horse traders" and all
went along merrily. At the court
house one of the largest crowds ever
inside the walls heard Miss Curry
of Lexington, deliver
an interesting talk of her experi-
ences in France. Merchants reported
business and collections both good.

MISS BRECKENRIDGE DELIGHTS
A LARGE AUDIENCE.

Confronted by an audience compos-
cd of the most representative
women of Paris and Bour-
bon county, an audience that is said
to have been one of the largest that
ever gathered in the big Circuit
Court room, Miss Curry Breckenridge,
of Lexington, in an address that will
forever live in the memories of her
auditors, told yesterday of her expe-
riences near the fighting line "some-
where in France" and delighted an
audience that was not the least bit
chary of attesting their appreciation.
Miss Breckenridge was introduced
by, Mrs, Fanniebelle Sutherland, pres
ident of the City Federation of Clubs,
in a neat address that was a little
gem in itself, and was followed by
Miss Breckenridge. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting free will
amounting to a good-sized
sum was taken for the purpose of
furthering the work Of the Red Cross.

DIR. WALLACE FRANK PLAYS
LEAD IN ROMANCE

Lieutenant Dr. Louis Wallace
Frank, son of DR.. Louis Frank, prom
inent Louisville physician and for
mer resident of Paris, was the lead.
ing actor last Sunday in the closing
incident of wartime romance
which had its inception at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. The groom,
who is a member of the Episcopal
Unit No. "a, of New York, which he
recently joined as brain specialist,
was married in Grace church, in
New York, on Sunday to Miss Jean
Marlborough, of Philadelphia.
1t was several years ago that the
young DIR. Frank, while a student
at the University of Pennsylvania
met Miss Macdonough, whose father,
now deceased, was prominent bank
er of the Quaker City. A few months
ago when he left for the East to join
the hospital unit answering the call
of his country, he again met Miss
Macdonough, who. was taking an ac-
tive interest in the raising of Red
Cross funds. The common cause of
patriotism proved an inspiration to
Cupid and the result of the several
months renewal of acquaintanceship
was announced of the engagement
and approaching marriage.
Capt Shelby Frank, of the Ordi-
nance Department of the United
States Army, a brother of DR.. Frank,
who is stationed at Springfield, Mass,
was the best man. A rumor brought
TO Louisville says the bride will go
to France with her husband, but this
report, according to local relatives of
the groom, has not been confirmed.
The groom is a nephew of Messrs. !
Bismarck Frank and Robert Lee
Frank, of Paris, Julian Frank, of the
county, and Mrs. Milton Culp Brown
ing and Mrs. John Fitzgerald, of
Cleveland, Ohio.

REV. GEO. H. HARRIS TO GO TO
VERSAILLES.

| AT a called meeting of the Board
OF Directors of Margaret College anC
the vestry of the Versailles Episcopa
church. in Versailles. Sunday after.
noon, Rev. George Harris, rector OF
81. Peters Episcopal church of this
CITY, to whom call had been ex-
tended, signified his acceptance of
trust. Rev. Harris will continue with
the Paris church until November, but
Will act in an advisory capacity with
the faculty of Margaret College, of
which he has has also been chosen as
Dean.
The announcement that Rev. Har-
ris had been chosen to take the rec
torship of st. Johns Episcopal
church, in Versailles was received
with profound regret by the people
OF Paris and the congregation of st.
Peters church, of which he had been
rector since 1912. Rev. Harris has
endeared himself to the people of this
community by his uniform courtesy,
his attainments as an orator, minister
and man, and they regret the change
that will take him and his estimable
family from us to new duties in a
new place. He is a man whose ge
NAL disposition at once made him a
wide circle of friends in Paris, whose
best wishes follow him to his new
charge.
AT the same time the vestry. of st.
Johns church ratified the action Of
the Board of Directors of Margaret
College in electing Rev. Harris as
Dean of the College, an office which
was created to meet the situation
by the removal of the presi-
dent, the Rev. ]. M. Maxon, to Lou
lsville. DR.. MaXon still retains the
of the College, but as he
cannot give all his time to the work,
it becomes necessary to draft Rev. |
Harris as a guiding hand at the helm.
There is no one better qualified for
he responsible position.
The new Guild Hall of the Yer
'ailles church will be dedicated on |
lext Sunday morning at eleven
''clock. The services will be in
'harge of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Lewis
". Burton, Bishop of this diocese,
md Rev. ]. M. Maxon, who has been
n charge of the church for five
ears, will preach the dedicatory SER
non.

INTEREST IN THE POLITICAL SIT.
UATI0N DEVELOPING.

With the registration coming O,
to-day, and the final city and count,
elections happening in November
now rather close at hand, concen
trated interest in the general politica
situation in Paris and the county /:
rapidly developing, and the next few
days will see campaign activities in
full swing. Farmers on the streets
yesterday were dividing time between
discussions of the war, crops and pol.
itics, with the latter coming strong al
the finish.
A general review of the candidates
who have been selected in the pri-
mary election in August shows that
the Democratic nominees are practi-
cally without opposition, and there is
very little reason to believe that the
talk of fusion ticket, such as was
heard some time after the election.
or of Republican opposition, will be
developed into anything more than
talk. The Democrats are expected to
put up an aggressive campaign, just
as if they had active opposition. -,
Unless there are some unexpected
developments of eleventh-hour en-
trants, the voters of this city and
county will elect the following ticket
at the November election:
For State Senator-George Hon, of
Clark County.
For Representative = C. M.
0f
For Sheriff-Will G. McClintock.
For County Clerk-Pearce Patton.

ability of the graduates, and commit
mented them upon their faithfulnesa

ton being made to the Massie Hos
