Phillips Says 10
Wait Until Sept.
to Enter School

All children who are six years old
or more, and who intend to enter
school for the first time in life are
entitled to enter at mid-term promo
ton on February 4. However, if the
child is not too much above six l
would advise waiting until Sept. l.,
because in a small city sytem like
Paris and with not any too many
teachers to handle the number Of
children in school the same advanta-
ges cannot be had as in September,
and because the winter months are so
bad on the little folks.
l am of the opinion that the min
imum age limit should be seven in
stead of six, anyway. IF the parents
persist in sending them at this time l
shall not attempt TO keep them out
but simply advise September as a
better time.

Wins Commission,

William Howell Caldwell, eldest
son of the late Dr. s. H. Caldwell, for
the second time since his graduation
at the naval academy, has offered his
services to his country in time Of
peril. Having made splendid rec
ord at the naval academy, he had the
misfortune to be found physically un-
fit at graduation.
With the rank of lieutenant junior
he served in the Spanish-American
war, being awarded medal in the
West Indian campaign. Again in
the present war he offered his servi-
ces to Uncle Sam.
Last week he was commissioned a
superior officer-Lieutenant u. s.
Naval Reserve. He will be stationed
at the Proving Grounds, a naval res
ervation in Maryland on the Patomac
river where all cannon and ammunit-
ion and explosives are tested. 1t Is
very secretive, absolutely no visitors
being allowed. The grounds are very
beautiful and modern brick residen-
ces are furnished the officers.

$4,000 WORTH LINE
STOCK SHIPPED FROM
PARIS IN THREE DAYS
Ten Carloads OF Beef And
Pork Nets Handsome Sum
To County Growers.
LOCAL BUYERS
SHIP SEVEN CARS
Five Cars Hogs, Four Cars Of
Cattle and One Mixed Car
.4n Shipments.

Ten car loads of live stock-five
cars of hogs, four cars of cattle, and
one mixed car-aggregating approx
imately twenty-five thousand dollars
to the local shippers, were shipped
from he local market last week. Last
weeks shipments were far beyond
those of any single week, from mon
etary standpoint, that have been
made in long time.
For the past two or three years
farmers of Henry county have be-
come more and more interested in
the raising of live stock, particularly
cattle, and the present market prices
being offered are no doubt largely
responsible for the heavy shipments.
Some sections of the county afford
splendid advantages for hog and cat
tie raising and the present keen de-
mand will more than likely stimulate
the production for another year.
Many of the county's live stock pro-
ducers are now preparing to raise
more cattle and hogs THIS year than
ever before and numDer who have
devoted their entire time to agricul-
ture will begin cattle raising on a
more or less small scale.
Seven carloads of last weeks ship
ments were the property of the local
firm Of Diggs, Dumas and Bowden,
and three loads were mere from the
dson-Huddleston farm on Tennes-
see River.

by those present, each man relt tina:
the government is affording a liberal
plan for paying investments by par
ties of either large or small means.

than $4,000 worth of War Saving
Certificates and others have express
sed their intention of investing.

CALLED TO MEET At

Great Effort Will Be Made To
Start War Saving Cam
paign Off With Rush.
REV. j. w. GILLON
WILL ADDRESS MEET
Volunteer State Has Fallen Far
Below Expectations In
Sale Of Stamps.

To arouse the people Of Paris and
Henry county to the imperative need
of becoming interested in the sale OF
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps, and for the purpose of ex-
planning more fully the advantages
of investing in these government GER
tifcates at this particular time when
our government needs assistance, a
call has been sent out to the citizens
of the county to meet with the Henry
County War Savings Committee at
the Baptist church next Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock.
DR.. j. w. Gillon will be the speak
er Of the occasion, this being the last
time he will address the people of
this city. He will endeavor to clear
ly define the objects and advantages
of the campaign which has been un-
der way for a month. Other speak
ers will also be present and urge the
people to wake to the necessities OF
the occasion.
Henry county has been apportion-
ed S526,000 worth Of stamps as her
share of sales during 1918. a pac
start has been made, not only in this
county, but throughout the entire
state. Tennessee as a whole did not
come up to expectations for the first
month of the campaign. Weather
conditions over the entire country
have opposed an aggressive campaign
therefore herculean effort must be
made to overcome the temporary
shortage.
All members Of the county COM
mittee are urged to be present with
out fail and each one is requested to
bring four or five dozen friends with
him and get them interested in the
campaign. Remember the meeting
and make your arrangements to be
there. At the Baptist church, Sum
day afternoon at o'clock.

Paducah at Mercy
of Merciless Ice
Gorges Decimate Ohio River
Shipping To Almost
<% Nonentity.

Paducah, KY, Jan. 29.-Descend-
ing ice gorges in the Tennessee and
Ohio rivers, converging here today
swept the winter feet of packets and
other craft from their moorings at
up-river points and in the Paducah
harbor and carried it on down the
Ohio. Appeals for help from per-
sons marooned on the ice-bound craft
plainly were heard as they were car
fied past this city.
A report from Metropolis, H., said
several packets were seen standing
on end in the ice as the foe passed
that place. The number of boats
caught in the torrent has not been de-
termined. 1t was said they would
probably reach more than dozen.
A preliminary estimate Of the damage
if all were lost, placeo it at more than
100000.
Eagle line steamboats,, st. Louis
packets, several Tennessee river and
other smaller craft were in the har-
Dor here when the gorge broke. The
boats rocked and swayed with the i'm
pact of the ice. Additional cables
were hastily put into service, but fail
ed to hold them as the pressure on
them became greater, and one by one
were torn from their moorings and
swept on down the river. The sur
vivors Of the helpless fleet are expec-
ted to reach Cairo, H., late this ev-
ening.
Grey Eagle Grounded.
Eleven steamboats, and two dry
docks, with an estimated value of
$598,000, are included in a partial
list Of the vessels damaged or missing
from the Paducah harbor alone. The
Eagle packet line, St. Louis, lost four
valued at $400, 0,000-the Alton, Grey
Eagle, Heria and Spread Eagle. The
Spread Eagle, the largest Of the fleet,
went down in thirty feet Of water
below Metropolis, according to re-
ports from that place. The same
report also said that the Grey Eagle
had grounded and was submerged
up to her hurricane deck. Watcher.
from the bank said none Of the crew
were seen on the boat. Ropes were
dropped from railroad bridge tc
crews on other craft as they swept
under the structure, but the mer
were either unable to reach them OF
elected to stay on board.

Postofice Reports
Increasing Sales OF
Saving Certificates

/ Since the weather is somewhat bet
ter the local postoffice reports that
the sale of War Saving Certificate
Stamps and Thrift Stamps is improv-
ing. The largest sale to an individ-
ual customer so far was to lady
whose father, husband, children and
relatives are boosters for the govern
ment, she purchasing a little rise of
$500 face value in her own name.
A 1000 club is being agitated with
bright prospects, the tormulator here
offering to start the move with a
membership for each himself and
wife, while others have spoken very
favorably.
It is believed that there are al
ready a few $1,000 holders in the
county as some of the saving stamp
customers have bought both through
the banks and local postoffce. Live
committees over the county are start
ing in to boost the sales as much as
possible. The school teachers and
children of the schools of the county
are becoming interested workers and
this is netting results. The local
postofiice officials say that there have
been presented many human interest
cases in the sales of these stamps
here, which range all the way from
the holder Of gold coins realized IN
way to make them more valuable
than their in intrinsic value and
which have been held for years as
keepsakes but released now from a
sense of patriotic duty, to purchase
of the modest thrift stamps, paid for
in pennies, by the orphaned daughter
with a widowed mother dependent
upon her daily labors for her sup
port; the man who purchases the
nucleus of his stamps with keepsake
coins and supplements it with current
money; the man who makes game
of gathering in all the new coins and
spending them for these stamps; the
baby's bank which yields up an odd
assortment of coins and with the pur-
chase of these stamps is promised
more plentifully the supplies of coins
from the source of others; all these,
and others are evident at the war
stamp window, to match those Of the
man who buys solely as an investment
or to help his country. IT is doubt
full if there was ever anything offered
for public sale to every person Of
this county which has stirred up as
much sentiment, and has been as ric.l
in pathos, as the sale of War Saving
and Thrift Stamps.

Hog Sale Called
off; To Be Held
Here February z

Weather conditions were such last
Saturday that it was necessary to call
off the Hog Sale. It was thought
at that time that we would wait un-
til the 9th of February to have it.
But due to the fact that the N. G. &
st. L. r. R. is going to have Hog
Meeting at the Court House at nine
o'clock Saturday February 2, | be-
lieve it is best for the Hog Sale to
be pulled off the same day at one
o'clock in front of Somerville's liv-
cry barn. Again | ask all farmers
who have hogs for sale TO bring them
to town and we will try to sell them.
Also / urge the farmers who intend
to buy, to bring crate or covered
wagon with them and take them home
when you buy them. If we are rain
ed or showed out Saturday then we
will put it off until the next Saturday
and so on until the sun does shine
on Saturday, and we will have our hog
sale. If the farmers will stand be-
hind me we will make this sale a sue
cess and in few years our annual
hog sale will be looked forward to
with great anticipation.
