The handsome bungalow of the

TOBACCO MARKETS.

Only one warehouse had a sale on
the Paris market Wednesday, the
Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse selling
1870 pounds of tobacco for an av-
erage of s29.56. This was the last
sale for the week. There will be no
more sales until Wednesday, March
q, when the last and final sale will
be held.
When the season closed for the
past year, in March, 1917, the three
Paris tobacco warehouses had dispos-
ed of a total of S,184,470 pounds OF
tobacco, which brought an average
of 1889 per hundred pounds.
The close of the present season
will probably bring the average up
considerably higher than last year,
On account of a better season, a
larger acreage and general dispo-
sition all around to make the Paris
market one of the best in the State.
And so it has proved to be. Predic-
tons are made that the market will
top a little over ten million pounds,
nearly a million and half in excess
of the total marketed last year.

BOYS WORKING RESERVE TO BE
FORMED HERE.

Boys between the ages of 16 and
Il, who believe that every individ-
ual in the country, including him
self, Is Obliged to do his bit toward
drubb1ng the Kaiser, can place them
selves where the Government most
needs their service by joining at
once the United States Boys Work
ing Reserve. The County Committee
of the Boys Working Reserve for
this locality, is prepared to give boys
and parents information concerning
any feature of the plan that is
clouded in their minds. The big
feature that needs no further expla-
nation than a bald statement is that
the country needs the boy, and needs
him badly, during the coming sum-
mer.
The enrolment card of the Re-
serve, is nearly self-explanatory Of
the manner in which the Reserve
operates. 1t was stated, at the out
set, that though this army of farm
labor constitutes second line of de-
Tense for the country, and an indis-
pensible one, there is no military fea-
ture nor any compulsion in the pro-
cess.
The enrolment card calls for the
expression of willingness on the part
of the boy to help the country in the
present emergency. 1t calls also for
the consent of his parent to his en-
tering the Reserve. 1t solicits infor-
nation as to the kind of work that
he believes he can do to the best ad-
vantage, as to the period of time for
which he will agree TO work and in
formation concerning his experience,
if any, in farm work.
1t is explained that the boy is not
obligated by his enrolment, to go to
this locality or to that, when he is
asked to go, if the locality assigned
is not satisfactory to him. The effort
will be made, in placing boys, to send
each boy to the locality where he de-
sires to serve. Should the first as
signment prove unsatisfactory the
boy is at liberty to so indicate, and
to state his preference as to locality.
AS to the degree of compdlsion in
volved in signing the card it is made
plain that the boy who has signed the
enrolment card, may at later date
decline work and be released from
his pledge, on the written request of
his parent or guardian, but only on
such written request.
C.. A. TAVEBAUGH,
From the Office of the State Director.

81 have been rather busy lately,
and have not had much time for loaf
ing. You see, have been a dry
land sailor for the rast four months,
and when / was not working or
asleep, / was ashore, and did not have
much time to write 20 anyone. = =
The ship made its maiden trip to sea
last week, and we are at naval base
now. / cannot go ashore, so 1 must
write or do something else, so there
fore, i am writing. The sea was
quite calm last week, but listen ID
me, the wind nearly blew my clothes
off. / stand watch in the foremost
when we are at sea, and even the
wind causing the wireless to moan
would send icy chills up and down
my back. Oh, it's great life, if you
don't weaken. well, hear We
will have another long stay in some
navy yard We fired all our big guns
to test them, and certain things on
the ship need attention. 1 was
aboard the Oklahoma the other night.
Saw Pennington. He is well, but
looks as if Philadelphia isn't any
health resort for a sailor. I saw
Buddy James not long ago. He
seemed very much pleased with the
transport he is on. They make two
trips across the water each month.
We only have fifteen VictrolaS
and six pianos on this ship, so you
can guess how much noise there is
around me as 1 am trying to write.

BOURBON CIRCUIT COURT.

At Tuesdays session of the Court
the following prisoners, who had pre-
viously entered pleas of guilty were
formally placed on trial, and SEN
fenced by the juries:
Walter Johnson and VIM. Rogers,
white, grand larceny, one year each
in the Frankfort Reformatory; Chas.
Boyd, colored, shooting without
year; George Hutsell, colored, house
breaking, two years; Carl Black
burn, colored, HOUSEKEEPING, two
years; Elmer Reed, jointly indicted
with Leslie Douglas, another colored
man, for stealing lap robes from
Charlton Alexander, three years; Bud
Ross, cOlored, housebreaking, five
years; John Mckee Johnson, colored,
HOUSEKEEPING, two years.
When the case of Milton Green,
colored, was called for trial, it was
learned that the chief prosecuting
witness had enlisted in the army.
Green was placed under $500 bond
to appear at the June term of the
Court, and was permitted to go.
Leslie Douglas, colored, who pleaded
not guilty, was given a sentence of
two years in the Reformatory, after
a trial of the case.
The time of the Court was occupied
Henry Hawkins, colored, charged
with the murder of Sarah Leer, a
colored woman, in Claysville, a col
ored suburb of Paris, in October,
1917. Hawkins having announced
that he was unable to employ coun-
sci, Special Judge Newell appointed
Attorneys Wade H. Whitley and VIM.
GrannOn to conduct his defense. The
Leer woman was found in an uncon-
scious condition in a house in Clays
vile in October. She was removed
to Lexington hospital, where she
died later from her injuries, which,
in a statement, she claimed were in
f1icted by Hawkins. The charge
against Hawkins was accordingly
changed to murder. He denied the
charge, and claimed that the wo-
mans alleged dying statement was
impossible on account of her mental
condition.
The case of Roy Jones, charged
with carrying concealed deadly
weapons, VI w III SIOoo, C1idi 6OA
with gambling, were, on motion of
the prosecution, dismissed.
After the testimony of several wit
nesses including physicians of Paris,
and others, arguments were made in
the Hawkins case Wednesday after
noon by attorneys for the defense and
the prosecution, and the case was
given to the jury. The jury, aztec
mature elaboration, came in yester-
day morning and reported that they
had disagreed, standing six for life
sentence and six for acquittal. Judge
Newell discharged the jury and the
case will now go to a re-trial. The
jury was composed of the following:
John Towles, Thomas Mitchell, w. H.
Clark, c. B. May, Jas. Cornell, Geo.
A. Keller, w. ]. Calvert, Guy Smith,
John Chisholm, ]. L. Horton, Geo.
Wilson and P. L. Dimmitt.
But little business of Importance
was transacted in Court yesterday
beyond disposing of the Hawkins
case. A number of equity motions
were heard by Judge Newell. The
cases of Elmer Reed and Leslie
Douglas, charged with grand lar
ceny, will come up for trial to-day.

(Sign this and send to Tom L. Rees, Secretary County Council of Defense, Flagstaff, Ariz.)
 1t is safe to say that when the German war lords learn of the anti-German sentiment that has been reused in America by their unspeakable deeds of ter, rorism, they will be able to read more clearly the doom of ultimate defeat that confronts them. The loss of American trade after the war will be a severer blow to them than the loss of many great battles. And this boycott is a blow at the Kaiser in which every true Am erlcan can and will participate No more American dollars will flow into German war coffers to supply them with the means to assassinate humanity and civilization, in the future.
