tanned the motion. The case, there
fore, will be heard ct an early date.
The motion to advance was made
upon the ground that the public

PROPOSITION DISCUSSED.

At the recent meeting of the City
Council the matter of constructing
new concrete dam across Stoner
Creek, near the Paris Milling Co.'s
plant, was discussed, but no action
was taken. There seems to be a
difference of opinion among the par
ties concerned-the Paris Milling
Co., the City of Paris, the Paris Wa
terworks Co., and the Louisville &
Nashville railroad company on many
points, and they can not get to-
gether. The question of material
and cost is the bone of contention.

SAVE YARN FOB THE SOLDIERS

A friend of THE NEWS makes the
kindly suggestion that some of the
Paris girls and women making so
many sweaters for themselves and
friends would be much more patri-
otto if they would use the yarn for
making socks, etc., for the soldier
boys. Yarn is not only costly, but is
becoming scarce. Think of this!.

i.snnallA IN these seven wars than
are killed by avoidable peace ac.
cidcnts annually in this country.
The greatest horrors in connection
with wars Mually concern the non
rombatanl population who are fore
ed Ia undergo all kinds of suffering
lor food aud through the war regu-
lulions of the enemy.
It was state above that war must
always be regarded as a possibility,
and in support of this, let Us examine
the history of wars during the past
~ nly wears. II will be found that
during this period every one of the
great nations of the world have been
involved in one or more wars. The
number of wears devoted to war by
this country averages about one IN
every four. This. of course, includes
the Revolution, War with France,
with Tripoh, the War of 1872, Mex
ican War, Civil War, War with Spain.

important Indian wars.
Il must not be forgotten either
that for the past SIX years our re-
lations with Mexico have been very

of our own country alone.
