Pro-German In
fluence AT Work
In Bourbon?
Has the German Spy System
Been lnaugurated in This
County?

Has the German spy system beef,
at work in this county?
This is the question being agitate,:
in North Middletown, this county.
where recent Developments have sug
gested the query. That an organized
effort is being made by German SYM
pathizers TO stir up pro-German and
anti-patriotic sentiment among the
colored people of Bourbon county, es.
pecially in the North Middletown v:
cinity, has become firmly fixed in the
minds of many citizens of that neigh
borhood, following a series of happen
ings that have taken place in that
town during the past few days.
Several Sundays ago the pastor of
a colored church in North Middletown.
in a sermon advised the male members
of his congregation that in case of war
many they should refuse to enlist.
He stated that this seems to- pc a
white mans war, and we shodl( le5
them do the fighting. They eave
'jim-crowed us and otherwise tmis-
treated us. and now that they ae in
trouble they want us TO fight for them. .
These utterances were condemned by
the better class of cclored citizens Of
North Middletown. but it seems to
have had a bad effect on the other
class of colored people who made up
the preachers congregation.
According to reliable reports a few
days ago a white man arrived in North
Middletown from Lexington in an au
tomobile, and after dining with a mum
Der of colored people, made an incen
diary speech, which, following that
made by the colored preacher, again
worked the colored people up to hign
pitch of excitement 1t was further
said that this man had made an en-
gagement to speak TO the colored pen-
pie of North Middletown and vici lity
last Friday night, and that after a
consultation among the citizens oil
North Middletown, it had been agreed
that he would be allow ed to speak, anG
then placed upder arrest. However
the news seemed to have been tipped
off to him, and he failed to put in an
appearance. The citizens OF NORTH
Middletown, becoming uneasy over the
developments, communicated with the
Sheriff's office in Paris, and a close
watch will be kept in the future tc
prevent a repetition of the events that
have stirred the community.
To counterfeit the influence made by
the speeches and tn. preachers ser
mon an editorial from recent issue
of Louisville paper, written by
cousin of the late Booker T. Washing
ton, the prominent colored educator
in which he vouched for the loyalty o
the colored citizens Of the Unfe'
States, has been extensively circIla;
ed in the North MidGletown neighbor
hood. and was given much attention b!
. the better class of colored citizens o
that community.

NOTHING HEARD FROM MYS-
TERIOUSLY MISSING GIRL

Nothing has been heard as to the
whereabouts of Miss Grace Roberts.
the eighteen-year-old girl, whose mys.
ferrous disappearance from Paris some
days ago is being Investigated by the
police.
Miss Roberts had been employed at
the Electric Dry Cleaning establish.
ment in this city, for some time, MAX
ing her home with her sister, Mrs.
McHargue, on Fifteenth street. She
had been very attentive to her duties
and had never missed day from her
work. She left the house one day last
week. saying she would return shortly.
Failing to return home that night her
sister communicated with her father,
Mr.. w. H. Roberts, of Lilly, Laurel
county, who came to Paris immediate.
ly and instituted a systematic search
for the girl.
Every city in the State, and espec-
ally in this section, where it was
thought she might have gone, was
communicated with, and a description
of the girl given to the police and
other officials, but nothing has been
seen or heard of her. A young Louis.
vile woman, with whom she had been
quite chummy was called up by phone,
but she stated in reply that the girl
had not been near her.
One rumor that gained persistent
circulation with respect to the mystic
rious disappearance of the girl was
that she had been induced to leave
Paris by a travelling man, and that
they had been seen together at Bar
bourville several days ago. Upon in
vestigation this proved untrue, and the
disappearance remains still an unsoiv
ed mystery. A photograph of the Rob,
erts girl, together with an accurate
description, has been furnished the
police and the correspondents of the
daily papers from Paris, in hopes that
it's publication may help in restoring
the girl to her home. Her mother, who
is very i'll at her home in Lilly, eagerly
grasps every little hope that the girl
may he found. Mr.. Roberts stated that
he could assign no reason whatever for
Il her disappearance, as she seemed to be
contented here, from all he could learn.
