JULY COURT DAY.

July court day was a mixture of
everything, and resembled the :;,;a,
brated seehes In Donnybrook Fair.
where there was everything to be
SEEM and almost anything to be had:
There was fair-sized crowd On the
streets, but little seemed to be going
on in a business way. The farmers
talked politics, crops and war. and
many went to hear William ]. Bryan
at the Chautauqua. An itinerant
harrangued small audi
ence on the public square, while in
the court house yard the soldiers on
guard here amused themselves with
gymnastic and setting-up exercises.
A parade by the Boy Scouts contrib
uted to the general gayety of the af-
ternoon. The farmers were too busy
with the conversation of crops to
come to town-and then 1t was the
regular six-months' collection time
for the merchants, which always cuts
down the attendance at July court.

THE PONY AND THE HAT
A COMEDY.

| bef1owered hat, an inuuisitiye
pony and low hanging shrub furn-
lshed the leading parts in a little
comedy which recently was enacted
on the banks of Stoner Creek, in the
rear of the old Paris Base Ball Park.
A number of ladies who had dis
covered the existence of a nice little.
shady little, sandy little bathing
beach in the rear of the old ball
park, had been in the habit of pay
ing daily visits to the cooling waters.
1t was ideal spot, just fitted by nature
and circumstances for the part it has
been playing.
One day last week party of young
ladies accompanied Mrs. N. A. Moore
to the bathing beach, and were soon
disporting themselves in the waters.
Two of the girls had driven to the
spot in a pony cart. Unhitching
their pony they took off the harness
and let him browse among the sue
culent grass and the sweet Ieafy
foliage. But soon the animal be-
came tired of this repast, and espying
what he evidently thought a nice
mess of roses hanging from a low
bush near the water, proceeded to
calmly devour it.
1t was all right for the pony, but
when the party came out of the water
and began to gather up their belong
ings Mrs. Moore was Mortified to dis
cover only the ragged rim of what
had once been a nice big summer hat,
trimmed with red roses. The pony
didn't have time to apologize for his
queer astronomical feat and Mrs.
Moore went home hatless, but glad
the pony hadn't discovered some of
her other attire that could not have
been spared.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE THOUGH
HEAVENS FALL.

While THE NEWS has a persona
preference as to the choice of a Sec.
rotary to succeed Mr.. c. o. Hinton in
the conduct of Office affairs at the
local Y. M. c. A, we desire to say
that we hope the Board of Directors
VIII reconsider their action in an
pointing an outsider to hold that re-
sponslble place. We believe Mr..
Dennis V. Snapp, OF Paris, to be the
pest suited for the place, and we
have no hesitancy i'll saying that a
home man should have been appoint
ed to an institution maintained nv
the money contributed by Paris and
Bourbon county people.
THE NEWS is in receipt of a COM
munlcation from a Paris man. re-
garding the matter, which we reprint
below as a contributed article:
PARIS, KY, July 2, 1917.
ED. NEWS:
The Board of Directors of the Y.
M. c. A. at called meeting Thurs
day afternoon considered Mr.. J. c..
Wilcox, of Orange County, N. Y, for
the local Y. M. C. A. secretaryship to
succeed Mr.. c. o. Hinton, who re-
Gently resigned. The name of Mr..
Dennis V. Snapp, of Paris, who is
thought by many people in the
county to be the logical man for the
place, was not considered.
THE Y. M. C.. A. is a local insti-
tuition; it is financed by the people
of Bourbon County, and is intended
as a benefit to this locality. If our
money keeps up this institution, why
should not one of our citizens be
given any benefit which may be de-
rived from it, instead of a man from
New York, who has no interest in
Bourbon County, other than mer-
cenary? Mr.. Wilcox may be a good
Christian gentleman, and a capable
man for the place, but the writer is
of the opinion that there are just as
capable, just as intelligent and just
as Christian men in Bourbon County
as in any county of any State in the
Union.
"Mr. Wilcox was recommended by
the State Y. M. G. "A. Secretary, Mr.
P. c. Dix, and is no doubt a we'll
qualified man for the place. But
haven't the people of Bourbon county
a right to recommend a man for an
office which is kept up by their do
nations? If they have not democ-
racy is a dead letter.
"Mr Snapp is a conscientious and
religious young man. He is promi
nent in church circles and has had
experience which would
be valuable to him in this work.
Only last week he was elected presi-
dent of the State Epworth League
by unanimous vote.
Does not this give evidence of his
ability? If people of other counties
honor Mr.. Snapp with Offices of
trust, why should not Bourbon coun-
ty, his birthplace and place of resi-
dence all his life, not do likewise?
Truly, prophet is not without honor
save in his own country.
"Mr. Wilcox's election has not yet
been made; he has only been nomi-
mated, the writer believes that after
the Board of Directors has considered
Mr.. Snapp, he will be given his just
dues"
