COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE
TO BE ERECTED.

Plans are being perfected by the
Bourbon County Health & Welfare
League, through it's capable and
efficient Visiting Nurse, Mrs. Har-
riet Minaker, and her associates,
besides members of fraternal, church
social organizations, for holding a
White Christmas" and Community
Christmas" tree in Paris, as has
been done so successfully in years
past.
The same plan, with slight vari-
atoms, that proved so helpful for
several years past, will be used.
Presents for children of poor people,
who cannot afford the expense them
selves, will be provided through the
generosity of the people of Paris
and Bourbon county. Aside from
this feature the singing of Christ
mas carols and a special musical
program will be rendered under a
capable director.
The exercises will take place on
Christmas Eve, the time and place
to be announced in the Paris papers.
The pupils of the Paris Schools
will have a prominent part in the
exercises. and the best musical tai
ent of the city will be enlisted in
the movement.

Remember how, a year ago, we
welcomed sweet Sixteen, and how

with smiles that were serene?
And then it brought financial
wreck to many weary gents; po-
tatoes 90 cents a peck, and eggs
at so cents. 1t brought us drouth,

these? The New Years hanging

Year, come in; to greet you with

sin. Come in. What are you wait
ing for? We welcome you with
songs; perhaps you'll put an end
to war and regulate all wrongs.
Perhaps you'll bring the hungry
kid a biscuit or roll, equip the
widow with lid, the freezing
man with coal. Perhaps you'll
scourge the soulless crew that
speculates in wheat, and split the
robber cost in two on things the
poor folk eat. Come in, New

welcome you some more; just
