A decision of Importance to the
farmers who borrowed money from
the Kentucky Rural Credit Associ-
alton was recently rendered by
Judge Cochran, of the Federal
Court.
In the proceedings in bankruptcy
to wind up the affairs of the Associ-
alton the trustee took the position
that the stockholders who obtained
loans should be required to pay
loans in full without deduction for
money paid in for stock, and also
depriving them of the right to par
ticipate in the dividends arising out
of the estate. Each borrower was
required to take out $4,000 worth
of stock for every 100000 borrow
ed and their stock subscription de-
Quoted from their loan. Other stock
holders, with few exceptions, had
paid only one-half of their sub
.scriptions, while none had paid only
dne-quarter. Judge Worthington, of
Lexington, decided the case in IA
vor of Mr.. Redmon resulted.
Mr.. w. T. RedmOn, of this coun-
ty, then got busy, and received the
cooperation of some forty odd Dor
rowers, representing loans totalinS
over 500, 100000 and stock in ex-
cess of s10,O00.00, and employed
counsel to take an appeal from
Judge Worthington's decision. The
appeal was heard in Maysville on
November 8, and afterward submit
ted by briefs and a decision in IA
for of Mr.. Redmon resulted.
The part of the decision material
to Mr.. Redmon's interest is quoted
as follows:
81 think that all subscribers tt
stock were creditors; that the Dor
rowers should repay their loans al
cnce; and that they are entitled tc
offset what they had paid III
against what they owe"
Under this decision Mr.. Redmol
and his associates will save in eX
cess of 100000.
Mr.. o. T. Hinton, of this city, o.
the firm of Hinton. Bradley & Brad
lev. represented Mr.. Redmon ane
others in the appeal and deserves
due credit for this signal victory
especially in view of the fact tina
lie was opposed by a number O
prominent attorneys throughout th'
State representing the trustee ane
, other parties in interest.

VOLUME XXXViI
THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY KILL
Ed HOPPING TRAIN

Hopping a freight train has
brought death to young boy and
sorrow to his family as a result Of
the boys indiscretion.
Yesterday afternoon George Tur-
ner, aged thirteen, son of Mr.. j. r.
Turner. of Shawhan, who had been
visiting in a family near Porter
Station, on the Maysville branch of
the L. & N, endeavored to catch a
ride on a fast freight coming TO
Paris from Maysville. Missing his
hold, he was thrown under the
wheels and his body badly mangled.
The accident was witnessed by sew
eral trainmen, who were powerless
to prevent it, however. The train
was brought to a stop as soon as
possible and backed UP to where the
boy lay, still alive, out terribly in
jured. He was placed on a cot in
the caboose by the trainmen and
rushed to Paris, where he was hur-
ried to the Massie Memorial Hos
Dital. DR.. c. G.. Daugherty, the l..
& n. physician in this district, was
summoned, and did all that could be
done, but the awful injuries the la,l
had sustained proved more than
medical skill could counteract, and
death came to his relief about 3:4O
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Young Turner had planned to
come to Paris to attend the moving
picture performance at the Alamo
Theatre, and then go to the home
of his parents to spend the remain
der of the day. Not desiring to waiI
for a vehicle, he very unwisely
choose to hop" the fast freight,
which led to his death.
The body was removed to the I'M
dertaking establishment of George
W. Davis. where it was prepared
for burial. Coroner Rudolph Davis
will conduct an inquest this morn
ing. after which the remains will
be sent to his former home at Shaw
han.

SOMERSET PAPER LAUDS
POLICE JUDGE JANUARY.

The Somerset News, published at
Somerset by VIM. F. Schooler, for.
merly of Paris and Mr.. Sterling, has
this to say of Paris citizen, who is
now in the limelight:
Judge E. d. January, City Judge
of Paris, was in the city this week
on business trip. Judge January
was elected Mayor of Paris at the
recent election, and he will make
Our Old Home Town one of the
best officials that they have ever had
because he is right on every
question, and is a booster-and that
is all that it takes to hold down the
the City Court of Paris, he cleaned
up on the 'boot-leggers, and his
work was so effective rnat it is said
that the booze fighters was the
cause of Stoner Creek going dry, for
the first time in the history of Paris,
and it is a mighty old town, for the
writer first saw the light of day
near that burg Judge January Is
not only an ideal citizen, but he Is
one of the most prominent Odd Fell
lows in the State, and when he
comes to Somerset he always looks
UP his old friend. Col. Tom Thatch-
CT, and says that Tom has done more
effective work from the standpoint
of secretary. than all the balance
of the boys who have served the
order in all these years."

The scarcity of coal and sugar In
Paris is making neck and neck
race for the famine stakes between
those commodities. The coal ram
inc has been partly relieved by the
receipt of three carloads of COAL
and with a moderation OF the
weather and more coal promised the
situation seems to promise relief.
R,,t with sugar it is different.
There is some sugar, but the sup
ply is so scarce that the whoiesale
houses will not sell more than TWEEN
av-five pounds in one order Ior re-
tail merchants, while the retall men
are limiting their sales to two pounoS

GOOD TOBACCO PRICES EXPECT
ED AT OPENING.

Growers are looking forward with
a great deal of interest to the open
ing of the local tobacco season in
this city next week. The general
opinion is that the average will be
much higher this year than last
year, and that thu quality of the
crop is decidedly better than was
at first expected.
Both the Bourbon and the New
Independent houses have made ex-
tensive preparations for handling
the crop, which appears to exceed
there has been some preseason
buying by spectators, there has
been more talk than actual buying.
The rains that have prevailed the
past two or three days have been the
means of bringing the tobacco in
good stripping condition and when
the weed is placed on the floors it
ought to bring fine prices. The
local warehouse organizations have
been working hard and putting forth
every effort to secure the top prices
for the growers of this section and
are out this year to exceed all rec
ords in pounds and average for
crops. All of the important COM
panies will have buyers here, sew
eral of them being already on the
ground.
The tobacco growers of Bourbon
county should hold their tobacco and
sell on the Paris loose leaf markets.
! At least they should not sell any
where until they have found out
I what is going to be done on the
local market. And they needn't
wait long for that, as in the light
of past experiences they ought to
know that the Paris market is one
of the very best and most reliable
in Central Kentucky.

WEATHER REPORT FOR DECEMBEEl I9I6

However unpleasant the month o.
December, 1916. was 10 the average
citizen, the weather was quite favor
able TO the farmer again, thus com
pleting a year unlike the usual years
in this section. Harvesting was car
ried en- at rapid rate and before
the Holiday Season set in many
farmers had gathered their crops
and "cashed in" There are still
quiet few that have not completed
the harvest, but the middle of Janu-
airy will probably see all the cane
thru the mills in this section, bring
ing to a close the most successful
farming year since 1904. The good
weather conditions Of 1916 were of
course assisted by the good prices
prevailing for sugar, corn and all
other products of this territory.
The total rainfall for December
was $50 inches, while the total for
the entire year amounted to 46.19
inches.
There were two or three slight
freezes during the month, but the
severity was not sufficient to serious
ly injure the cane which had in most
instances been winrowed, follow
ing the November freeze.
About two-t thirds of December was
partly cloudy, with quite q number
of warm days, while the Holiday
Season was marked by unusually
warm weather The cloudy weather
was no draw back to the farmer who
was able to work almost every day
of the month. The heaviest precipi-
tation was recorded on Christmas
Day, the time suited to the farmer,
altho it did not entirely suit the
merchant
+ If the year 1917 furnishes wealth
ter conditions anything approaching
