arouse the public to the necessity of

is the poorest paid employe OF the

The first real touch of winter hit
the valley Tuesday morning when a
heavy snow storm, driven by pretty
stiff wind, scattered the Immaculate
over the face of the earth. In all
likelihood this visitation will disap-
near in a few days as it would be
something exceedingly unusual for
snow to come so early in the winter
and remain. During an experience OF
twenty years in the county We have
noticed that the real and staying snow
comes about the first of the year. Still
this winter may be an exception &c
the rule and the chilly whiteness may
be here for long stay.

Mr.. Bowerman reports that the influ-

disease was not so severe in the town
proper as at the Nickle Plate mill and
mine, where large number of for

was especially severe on the big husky
miners. Since the breaking out OF

at Hedley, which is heavy toll con-

INFLUENZA Is
ON THE WANE
Paris and Henry County
Improving After Epi-
demic

Paris and Henry county seems to
be steadily improving following the
epidemic of Spanish influenza. The
city and county had large number
of cases, but judging from the news
paper reports our epidemic was much
lighter than in some of our sister
counties, and points in the various
states, both in point of numbers and
fatalities.
While our physicians were very
busy they were doubtless able to
give the necessary attention to ev-
cry individual case which was called
to their attention, and it is believed
that here as elsewhere conditions
were worse for the reason that the
physicians were not called in early
enough, or that their instructions
were not rigidly adhered to.
The fact that the City and County
Boards of Health agreed for the
churches and schools and places of
amusement to open is indicative of
the greatly improved conditions.
1t was especially gratifying thas
as rule the people were not panicky
considering the gravity of the situa-
tion.

HENRY COUNTY
SELECTIVE DRAFT
Large Number From Henry
Will Go to Camps in
November

According to the present plans
Henry county will likely send more
selective craftsmen to the camps
during the month of November than
in any previous month.
On next Monday 76 are scheduled
to leave Paris and the local board is
working day and night in order to
provide the necessary number.
The Board got behind with its
work during the epidemic of influen-
"a when j. M. Freeman, of the Board
was incapacitated. After some delay
W. N. Porter was placed on the
Board until Mr.. Freeman recovered.
The telegram as given out by the
press is as follows:
"Men of the new draft ages will
first be mobilized in large numbers
early in November under a draft call
now in preparation at Provost Mar
shal General Crowder's office. It
calls for the entertainment of more
than 100000 men qualified for gen
eral military service. They will be
furnished in proportionate numbers
by every state in the union.
Draft calls suspended during Oc-
tober because of the influenza epi-
demic have been renewed in sections
where the epidemic has modified.
and entrainment of all men under
the October calls probably will be
completed before the November
quota Is started to the cantonment.

WRITES LETTER
Calling Attention to Your
War Stamp Pledge In
Easy Manner.

Letters sent out from Chattanooga
by 7. R. Preston, with reference to
redemption of pledges, are being re-
ceived by practically everybody on
account of list Of all pledge cards
which have not been marked paid
at the selling agencies, being Off
cially required by Mr.. Preston as the
governments representative
Parties who have redeemed their
pledges are not affected by these let
ters, but should make report in the
space left for that purpore, of the
amount of stamps pledged and pur-
chased. Letter should then be re-
turned to Mr.. Preston in the franked
envelope furnished, in order that
they may have proper credit for what
they have done.
You do not need to see the chair
man or have any proof other than
your own statement at bottom of let-
ter, to insure your being properly
credited at headquarters.
Thissexplanation is offered for the
reason taht many persons who have
received their letters, have already
purchased all the stamps for which
they are pledged, and do not under
stand why report does not so show; /;
therefore they are inclined to regard
the letter as reflection on thir
good faith, when as matter of fact,
it is simply reminder to those who
have not kept their pledges, and a
means of giving proper credit to those
who have not already received same.

According to those in touch with

being manifested in every neighbor-
hood of the county.
The workers seem to feel that the
response from those so far reached
has been well up to the expectations,
and if the peopl yet to have the mat

tention respond as literally as those
already seen, the county will "go

where Mr.. Humphreys has been called
by the Overland Company to look
after some special work.
The Overland agency ehre, that
has been conducted by Mr.. Hum

there are no more automobiles inn

will be in care of Joe Gray, and any
one wishing to learn ABOUT them can
see Mr.. Gray at his office on the
East side square.
Overland Autsp sSiles will be given
the same service attention during
Mr.. Humphreys absence as while he
was here by the Woodland Garage,

The Nesu
Sugar Ruling

On account Of the advent of both
western Beet and Louisiana Cane
sugar on the market in greater guam
titles than was expected. the freer
railroad conditions and the patriotic
conservation of sugar by American
people during the past four months.
the United Food Administration has
authorized an increase in the allot-
ment of sugar for Tennessee for
November and December to a basis
OF three pounds per person per
month, and families may now pur-
chase thirty days supply at one time
on this basis.
The allotment to hotels and public
eating places has also been increased
to three pounds for ninety meals
served.
Please advise your retail customers
that on account of their November
allotment having been issued before
this advice was received, the addi-
tlons referred to above will be made
to their December allotment, and
this office expects to have issued all
December certificates not later than
November 18TH
BY reason of this ruling there may
occur temporary heavy demand by
consumers, in consequence of which
retail dealers will doubtless urge the
purchase of sugar without certifI-
Gates. The rules of the United
States Food Administration are verv
positive on this point, and whole
salers are forbidden to deliver sugar
except when certificates are surren-
dered at time of delivery.
Yours truly,
