r FISCAL COURT.

The July term of the Bourbon Fis-
cal Court convened in the County

terton presiding, and the following
Justices present: l.. j. Fretwell, E..
P. Thomson, R. H. Burris, John S.
Talbot, A. l.. Stephenson, John ).
Virgins, John N. Shropshire and X.
o. Turner.
A committee composed OF Justices
Burris and Turner and County ROAD
Engineer Ben F. Bedford was APP
pointed to consider the a~dvisability
Of the county appropriating money
for the rebuilding of the Wyatt n
REYNOLDS pike. The Court appropri-
ated $500 for the Improvement OF
the Endicott dirt road, the work to
be supervised by the County Road
Engineer. A resolution was passed
instructing the County Road Engl-
neer to require all people living along
the road in the county to remove all
instructions from the roadside and
TO trim all trees that interfere with
travel. The County Road Engineer
was also instructed to advertise for
bids for surface treatment for the
North M%iddletown pike.
The resignation. of DR.. H. M.
Hamilton as County Livestock In
spector was accepted, and DR.. Arthur
Plummer was appointed as his sue
cessor. The Court appropriated the
sr,m. of 500 for the purpose of ar
Lartifcial leg for w. C. Carter. The
bone of Carriers leg became diseased
some months ago, necessitating am
putation. Carter stated that If M

THE PARIS CHAUTAUQUA HAS
AUSPICIOUS OPENING.

Everything looked lovely Saturday
for a good day for all who attended
the annual Ch~autauQua, the opening
program drawing a large attendance.
Owing to the fact that the big tent
under which the programs are usu-
ally given had been delayed by a
freight congestion at Chicago, n
programs were rendered both after
noon and evening in the auditorium
of the Paris High School. The en-
tertainments were fully up to h
standard set by the management, and
were pleasing in every respect.
The afternoon program opened at
three o'clock, with Blacks European
Orchestra as the principal attraction.
This is a superior musical organiza-
ton, each member an artist of dis
tinctive merit. Joseph Black, the
leader, and a noted violin v%irtuoso,
| was featured on the programs, his
offerings being gems of instrumental
/ selections. The same organization
appeared on the night program, in a
concert prelude of musical gems, and
were right royalty received. An ad-
! ded attraction on the evening pro-
gram was the appearance Of DR.. Jay
William Hudson, Professor of Philo-
sophy at the University of Missouri,
who delivered an impressive and elo-
auent talk on American Ideals"
The second days program was CIV
en- Sunday afternoon in the Grand
Opera House, where the remainder OF
the weeks programs will be given.
The chief attraction or the afternoon
and night programs was the Cecilian
Chorus, composed of \ operate and
concert artists of high order who
gave a. pleasing program of selec-
lions from light and grand operas,
folk ditties, standard songs and re-
citals and songs in costume. Mr..
Gabriel r. Mcguire, who was on the
program for a lecture on with An
Irishman Through The Jungles of AT
RIGA" missed his connection, and
could not be present in time. HIS
place on the program was most &C
ceptably filled in the substitution OF
Rev. E. G. Violet, of Kansas City,
Mo-, who has appeared in revival ser,
vices in Paris at intervals, and who is
recognized as one of the most elo-
uuent ministers in the country. Mr.
Violet held his audience sepell-bound
by the magic of his oratory, n tney
could gladly have listened to him
much longer.
Yesterdays program comprised
Pearl O'Neil, Canadian reader and
entertainer in Irish dialect, imper.
sonations and dramatic readings, and
Clyde Wilson McCord, popular in
spirational lecturer, in the afternoon
At night Pearl O'Neill and Capt
Richmond P. Hobson, hero of thu
Merrimac incident, who lectured or
America and The World War" fill
ed in a pleasant evening for the au
dience. =,
To-day the program will be as fol
lows: Afternoon, at 800 o'clock
Vierra's Royal Hawaiians, in a de
lightful program of Hawaiian music
featuring Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w
|. Vierra; evening-at 500 o'clock
vierra's Royal Hawaiians, in a musi
cal offering, "a Night In Hawaii
and Bob Seeds, humorist and philoso
pher, in a lecture, 1.-THE Way 1t Look
