PARIS VISITED
BY AIRPLANES

Parisians and Henry countians
have been treat. !. to tie thrills
which go with the observation of ne
maneuyers of the airplanes which are
owned and operated by the United
States government.
To many of us it was first sight
of the airplanes in flight and each
and every movement in the air was
intensely interesting.
The visitors did "stunts" a plenty
for the homefolks, which included
looping the loop, the nose dip and the
tail spin and other maneuvers, the
names of which are omitted from
this write up for want of the proper
technical terms.
On Saturday the news flashed ov-
er Paris that our fellow townsman,
I. P. Jernigan had just received a
wire from his son, Albert, a student
at Park Field, Memphis, that he and
three others, in two planes, would ar
rive during the afternoon.
True to schedule they arrived
about o'clock having made the trip
in about 2 hours, it is said. They
flew over the town and everybody
were spectators.
Paris is too far from an aviation
field to have the opportunity of fire.
quently observing the bird men in
their work and the novelty of the
thing and the fact that these men are
training to do their bit in defeating
the Hun, made the visit of double IN
terest to young and old alike.
Their maneuvers on Saturday af-
ternoon were witnessed by many
hundreds of people and their
stunts" were thrilling.
On Monday afternoon another
plane from Park Field flew over
Paris and landed for few minutes
stay. This plane was en- route to
Bowling Green, KY, to be present at
the fair. In the last plane Todd
Crutchfield, Paris boy, was one Of
the two aviators. When the plane
landed at the Jernigan Farm, Todd
took few minutes leave and came
to the home Of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. W. Crutchfield.
In the two planes which were here
Saturday and Sunday in addition to
Lieut.. Albert Jernigan were Lieut..
j. M. Dawson, Lieut.. C. E. Hyde and
Lieut.. Bartol.
One of these planes went to Cor
inth, Miss, while the other returned
to Park Field.

FAST FILLED,
FAST RELEASED
One More Vacancy Yet to
Be Filled-So Inform
ant States.

Perhaps never in the history of the
city schools has the school board had
such trouble in securing corps of
teachers for the schools.
There have been number of cleo
tions and designations until it has
been somewhat of problem as to the
satisfactory placing of the teaching
force.
AS we go to press, however, there
is only one vacancy to be supplied,
that of principal of Lee school, and
there are number of applicants
which the board is considering with
a view to the selection of the best
person for the place.
Teachers recently named and their
work is as follows: Miss Faith Stew
art, Fourth grade; Miss Verna Little
ton, Hitory; Seventh and Eighth
grades; Miss Johnnie Neal, Grammar,
Seventh and Eighth grades.
School opens next Monday, and the
buildings have been gone over thor
oughly, careful attention having been
given to the necessary repairs; the
buildings have also been fumigated
and thoroughly cleaned.
The present outlook is for one of
the largest schools in point of atten-
dance ever held here, and the teach.
ing corps, under the able direction of
Supt. M. M. Phillips, is said to be very
strong in spite of the handicaps which
have been experienced in making the
selections and placing the teachers
to advantage.

PARIS AGAIN
ADVANCES
OVER THE TOP
Various Committees Worked
Faithfully and Attained
Success.

AS predicted in the news columns
of this paper last week, the first dis
trict of Henry county "went over the
top" in the thrift drive then in pro-
gress, and had some to spare when
the final count was made.
The quota for the first district was
S115,7OO.0O, and up to last weeks
drive $98,360.00 had been pledged,
leaving a balance of $17,34O.OO to
be realized in the drive then in pro-
gress.
This was realized when $17,490.O0
was raised in pledges showing $3.50
to spare. This did not take into con-
slderation a number of purchases
made in excess of pledges.
To T. M. Hogan, master mechanic
at the L. & N. shops, great credit is
due, the subscriptions raised through
his office making the handsome sum
of $5,270.00 Mr.. Hogan called his
men in for conference, it is said, and
called their attention to existing
conditions.
He assured them that he was not
trying to dictate to them what they
should do with their money but made
an earnest plea fo rtheir aid in fl
nancial way at this particular time,
and the result was very gratifying,
the men rallying with their pledges so
splendidly..
On Thursday of last week the work
was very thorough, and the team work
splendid. The merchants laid aside
the work in the store, the prof
sional men forgot their offices while
al men forgot their offices vile the
the housewives forsook the home du-
ties for the time to see that the dis
trict should "go over the top"
Substation No. l in charge of Mr..
W. E. Gatlin; Mesdames C. L. Tilley
and Frank L. Hensler, secured
s2,O55.00 in pledges.
Substation No. in charge of Mr..
C. v. Ezell Mesdames J. P. Peoples
and j. L.. Holland secured pied
ge to the amount of $2,135.00.
Substation No. was in charge of
Mesdames J. H. McSwain and Ruth
Frazier and Mr. L. G. Humphreys,
and their pledges amounted to 49,
605.0O.
Substation No. A was in charge of
Mesdames w: F. Blach and A. E.
Rison and Mr. Will Sparks secured
pledges to the amount of $2,050.00.
The substations of the war COM
mittee were very patriotically assis-
ted by the Patriotic League, the
Camp Fire Girls, the Boy Scouts, the
classes of Grove School and others.
1t is said that this is the first dis
trict in the county to 'sgo over the
top" in the war savings stamp pied
ges it is said, although other districts
are making arrangements to liqui-
date their pledges in full in the near
future.
A committee with 40 men with A.
B Lamb, chairman; W. /. Dale, First
Vive-chairman; w. G. Adams, Sec
end Vice-chairman and Joe Wein-
baum, Secretary, went out among the
outlying sections Of the district and
did great good in helping to put the
first drive "over the top"
