1t is comfortable enough now to
be un-American, Indifferent to our
! our country's needs and even pro-
German.
1t is the rule now, not the excep-
ton, that those of us who are small
farmers or tradesmen in the Middle
Western States have become SO
dwarfed in mind and soul through
the pursuit of material things, that
liberty, patriotism, and American
ism are only words.
The attitude of many is ''let the
other fellow fight, give his life and
his money, it is no concern CT mine. I"
Perhaps it will take the severest
sacrifice now or later to grow a sui
and spiritual understanding into
the bodies and minds of men in the
Middle-West.
Perhaps it will take the sight of
your own son crucified, when he
should have had the generous treat
ment of prisoner of war. Or your
daughter murdered when she should
father and mother sold into slavery.
But you will understand finally
what patriotism means, just as
France understands.
Meanwhile Bourbon has Stacked
shamefully in failing to take her
share Of the Liberty Bonds. She is
thousands short, with only two days
to make good her deficit.
That deficit will be made good by
patriotic men of Bourbon, but it is a
chance for many to show their pa
triotism instead of leaving it to q
few.
If you have not wholly forgotten
the heritage of your pioneer ances-
tors. if you can yet feel the impulse
of liberty loving Anglo-Saxon blood
stirring within your veins, and If
you have a little money to spare
from a hundred dollars up, call up
your bank and order your Liberty
Bonds to-day.

when, after DR.. Daugherty blushing-
ly told the assembly he had his mar
riage license in his pocket, the Judge
arose, and pointing his finger threat.
eningly at the DR.. exclaimed dra'
matically, "Espera Vd Um Momento.'
Mr.. Johns thought the Judge was
kidding him, so he replied, "Qpiere

too much grapejuice punch. induced
them to use the United, States Ian

LITTLEJ0HN'S COMPANY GOES TO
CYNTHIANA.

The Littlejohn's Carnival Shows,
which played a very successful en-
gagement here last week, playing to
the best business for many weeks,
despite threatening weather and
counter attractions, left Sunday for
Cynthiana. where they will be this
week.
Paris always has warm welcome
for Littlejohn. 1t Is decidedly the
best and cleanest carnival attrac-
ton now before the American pub
lie.
The Grella, Band, musical or
ganization composed of some of the
best musicians now on the road, and
directed by a master musician, is one
of the strong attractions of the Lit
ilejohn shows. This band plays high
class music, as we'll as popular Sc
lections, and all rendered with high
degree of musical excellence. Grella
was for many years connected with
prominent bands in Lexington, and
knows how 10 play and direct play.

Impelled by the force of tons OF wa
ter brought down Stoner Creek dur
ing the recent heavy rains, big
sycamore Jog plunged through a
weak spot in the end of the Paris
Milling Co.'s dam last week, tearing
it out.
The section torn out is the end
resting near the Louisville & Nash
Vile embankment and leaves the
rest of the structure in a weakened
condition, subject to the mercy of the
high winds and water. Further
breaks in the dam would pour tons
of water on the lowlands belows Sc
riously damaging the crops, gardens
and pastures through flooding.
The city officials, railroad officials
and others have inspected the dam
age done to the dam, which backs
up water used by the Paris Milling
Company, the L. e N. pumping sta
ton, the Paris Ice Company and the
Paris Water Company. The question
of who should stand the expense OF
repairing the structure seems to be
in dispute.
The people of Paris fondly hope
the different companies can get to-
gether successfully on the matter of
replacing the dilapidated structure
with a concrete one.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE DIRECT
GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS

e Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
makes the following statement:
"A number of letters have been re-
Gently received at the Treasury De-
partment inquiring whether or not
the Liberty Loan Bonds are obliga-
lions OF the United States Govern
ment. I am surprised that there
should be any misunderstanding on
this point. The Liberty Bonds are
United States Government Bonds.
They are the direct obligations of the
United States Government and the
honor and the resources of the
American people are security there
for. They are called Liberty Bonds
because their proceeds are to be ded-
icated to the cause Of human lib
erty,"

GOOD NEWS, THIS!

The practice of buying dry goods
on approval and later returning 1t ia
stores constitutes an enormous un-
necessary cost, and Is likely to be
abolished as a war economy measure
the Commercial Economy Board OF
the Council of National Defense re-
ported at Washington, Saturday. An
investigation shaws that returned
dry goods vary from 4 to 80 PEI
cent. of the sales, and cause many
thousands of dollars Of expense.

Fiftieth Anniversary.

>
On Monday, April 2, Rev. B. F. Pee
pies and wife, Mrs. Bette Wilkins
Peoples, celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of their marriage. Children
and grandchildren were present to
enjoy the love and benedictions of the
old people. Many friends in the city
called to extend congratulations and
wish the dear couple happy evening
in their life. 1t is a joy to see man
and wife so united in love that through
a long life they have been one without
distraction and without discord. Such
has been the life of these dear good
people. Their children rise up and
call them blessed. Few people in this
community know of the life of Rev.
Mr.. Peoples. At the breaking out of
the war in 1861 he was among the first
to enlist in the southern army. He en-
listed as private, but afterwards was
made captain of a company and serv-
ed until the surrender in 1865. He
was in all the big battles fought by
the Army of Tennessee. After the
war he resumed his ministry, and was
until his approximation one Of the
most faithful ministers Of the Mem
phis conference. The people of Browns
vile consider it a blessing to have
him and his dear wife spend the eve
ming of their days among them. Grace.
mercy and peace be unto them.
