BOOZE SEIZED
BY THE POLICE
Two Trunks Containing
Whisky Taken in Charge
at Interurban Station.

Two trunks, suspected of containing
contraband, namely, red liquor, ship
ped from Lexington to David Alexan-
der, Paris, over the Interurban lines
from Lexington, were seized by Chief
Of Police Link and Police Judge. JAN
uary, Wednesday morning, and the con-
tents confiscated.
Chief Link had received private tip
that the liquor had been shipped from
Lexington, and that it would be called
for at the interurban station. He Sc
cured the cooperation of Judge Janu-
airy, and the trunk was opened at the
station. In it were found about two
hundred bottle of different sizes and
several large tins containing whiskey
and gin.
Shortly after the wet goods had been
confiscated George Ayers, colored, dri-
yer of a delivery wagon, appeared at
the station and presented checks for
the trunk, which he stated to the Off
Gals, had been given to him by two
colored men who got off the car at
SbiSCb' say us NhNy " - =
going to the Louisville e. Nashville
station to get tickets for Knoxville,
Tenn. The men had purchased their
tickets, but when informed by Aver
of the seizure of the trunks, secured
a return of the money paid for their
tickets and went back 10 Lexington.
/ David Alexander, colored, giving Lex
ingtCn as his residence, next appeared
on the scene, and claimed the trunk,
saying that it had been shipped to him
by the wholesale firm of Hudson &
Co.. of Lexington. Alexander was
placed under arrest, but, after eXamin-
alton by the officials, proved that he
had nothing to do with the matter
save to come to Paris and secure the
trunk. He was released, but the
LIQUOR was kept. 1t will probably be
fed to the fishes in Stoner creek in a
short time.

SPECIAL REGISTRATION MONDAY
FOR SCHOOL BOND ISSUE

A special registration will be held
Monday, May p, in the city of Paris,
for the purpose Of registering all
voters, male and female, who desire to
vote on the question of issuing
school bonds.
The women of Paris will be called
on to vote with the men for the issu-
ance of the proposed school bonds, at
special election, to be held at the
voting precincts in the city, on Sat
urday, June 2.
The present capacity and equipment
OF the schools is Inadequate The
Board Of Education recently went be-
fore the City Council asking for the
issuance of bonds amounting to S46.-
600. This request was granted.
The schools of a city and county
are among it's most valuable assets,
and every reasonable request for ad-
equate facilities for the housing and
comfort of the teachers and pupils
ought to meet with a ready and gen.
erous response. Let us hope Paris
will not be laggard and that there will
not be one vote recorded against the
bond issue.

RECOVERED
LEAVES FOR NEW YORK

Mr.. J. Greenblaat, the travelling
salesman, whose sensational attempt
at self-destruction by poisoning, was
detailed in Tuesdays NEWS, has been
discharged from the Massie Memorial
Hospital as cured.
A purse was made up by the local
Jews, and presented to Greenblaat by
which he was enabled to return TO his
wife and children in New York. He
still maintained a silence regarding
his wife's address in New York, say
ing he would reach there all right, and
that further publicity would only alarm
her.
The Jews of Paris have been untir-
ing in their efforts to make Green
blaat's stay in the hospital as comfort
able as possible, and their generosity
made it possible for him to return to
his family in New York.
