BOURBON BOYS LEAVE FOR CAME
TAYLOR.

F1tty-SlX young men, representing
all walks of life, left Paris, Saturday
morning on a special train over the
Louisville & Nashville, at 7:47, for
Camp Taylor, near. Louisville, where
they will become part of the great
fighting machine which the State of
Kentucky will prepare for service in
the United States army.
The detachment had received or
ders to report to the Bourbon County
Board of Exemption at their office In
the court house Friday afternoon to
receive final instructions. After they
had gathered there Hin. e. M. Dick
son made short address in which
he apprised them of Bourbon's rec
ord in other wars and gave them an
inspiring talk along the lines of pa
triotism. Distinguishing badges were
given them, and they were allowed to
go to their homes or to remain in
the city, and to report at the court
house Saturday morning at GAS
o'clock.
At that hour the men were formed
in line in front of the court house,
and headed by drum corps compos-
ed of Paris boys, and Mr.. VIM. Flick
len, one of the oldest residents of
Paris, accompanied by standard bear
ers with the United States flag,
marched in double file to the L. & N.
station. They were accompanied by a
large delegation o: Paris business
men, who fell in line behind them,
under the leadership of Judge E. B.
January. At the depot crowd esti-
to two thousand, had gathered.
Farewells were spoken, the boys
boys boarded the car, which was at
tached to the special train bearing
other recruits from different counties
in this section, and were on their
way to Camp Taylor, followed by the
cheers and good wishes of those left
behind. Before their departure they
were presented with plentiful sup
ply of tobacco and cigarettes by
County Clerk Pearce Patton, acting
Jointly for the Board of Exemption
and the people of Paris.
Many hearts ached when they
went, tears fell, and many faces
showed the strain. But with it all
went thrill of hope and pride, glo-
rious feeling that there were on that
train, no slackers, men upon whom
the great nation that bred them can
rely in it's hour of need-men who
will fight for the preservation OF
American rights, for the sustainment
of American honor, men who will en-
ter the great arena clean Of heart and
hands, and without faint of suspl-
cion as to their motives.
Let us who remain behind remem-
Der to-day that the battle these boys
are waging against homesickness, alb
'sence from their relatives is no less a !
real battle than they will be called
on to fight when they reach the fir
ing line. In every act, in every |
thought, in every prayer, let us be
with them. Keep the home fires
burning for them. Do our duty half
so we'll as they will theirs and vic
tory will rest upon their shining
steel before the time of strife is half
consumed.

 FINALLY ENDED

The case of Benson vs. Pedro, No, 2146, has finally come to an end with the decision handed down by Judge Bunnen recently. The facts of the case are as follows
 Mrs. Mary Pedro owned No above Pedro creek, but, owing money to Herkenrath and Gustafson, she deeded the property over to them until such time as they should get the amount due them from the prop erty. This was in 1915. Then the ground was leased back to Mrs. Pedro, and she continued to work it, giving 25 per cent of all that came out to Herkenrath and Gustafson and almost completely paying them off. She finally paid Gustafson all that was due him and got back a half interest in the claim. Herkenrath sold his share to G. Vedin. Finally labor lien was filed on the claim and the case was brought up for trial, and has continued for some time The decision handed down by Judge Bunnell decides the case in favor of the laborers who filed the

(ASSOCldtet IEtSS)
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 15.-An official state ment issued this morning declares that an American patrol recently sue Cessfully attacked from an ambush large German patrol party. killing and wounding a number Of the enc my without any casualties of any nature whatever to the attacking par ty. The Americans were aCcOmpan- jed by few French infantrymen in their expedition.
 The American ambush had been picked out previous to the eXpedi- tion, and early one evening the Am ericans took up their positions and lay in mud almost knee deep nearly all night before their patience was rewarded. A German patrol party early in the morning hours came near enough to the Americans hiding At the first fire several of the enc my fell. Being taken absolutely by surprise, they made no attempt to make a stand, but, gathering up their dead and wounded, bore them back to the trenches under a heavy fire from the Americans.
 Upon another occasion recently, while the Germans were shelling the American trenches, several shells fell in the trenches and several Am ercans were killed and number of others wounded At the same time shells from the artillery served by American gunners dropped squarely upon concealed German battery and wrought terrible havoc among the enemy, forcing the removal of the guns to another position.
 During the recent days the Amerl- can troops have undergone all the hardships of actual warfare. Since it has become known that Ameri- cans are in this line of trenches, the Germans have been very active, and several heavy artillery engage ments have taken place, followed on one or two occasions by furtive sorties by small German parties.
