THE FURNISHINGS ASSURED FOR
COLORED ANNEX AT HOSPITAL

Pledges to raise the sum Of 5000
needed to assure the furnishings and
equipment for the colored annex to
the Massie Memorial Hospital, in
Paris, were given at meeting OF

obtained by the earnest solicitation
of some of the best-known and capa-
BILE workers among the colored peo-

es, will cost $4,000. The work

USE DIRECTORY; CALL BY NUM-
Der; SAVE TROUBLE.

If users of telephones would re-
fleet movement or could actually
knaw the trouble they cause by call
ing for names of subscribers or
other parties over the phone, in
stead of consulting the directory and
asking by number, they would con-
suit the directory and save trouble.
In this connection the managers of
the local telephone exchanges, Mr..
j. j Veatch, of the Paris Home
Telephone Co., and Mr. H. HI. Floyd,
of the Cumberland Telephone Co,
state that the greatest trouble their
operators experience is with parties
who call for some one by name in
stead of using the directory and
calling by number One exchange
now has four of it's best operators
on the sick list. Two operators have
been brought over from Georgetown
to help in the work, and while they
are experienced, they cannot be sup
posed to know the names of all the
subscribers on the line, hence they
are experiencing their share Of
trouble with telephone users who
persist in calling by name instead OF
by number.
Managers Veatch and Floyd ask
the public, in order to keep the ser
vice at it's best, and to assist the
Opertors, to heed this request, which
will be helpful all around. If John
Smiths phone number Is 41144, call
for that number, and get quick SER
vice, instead of calling the operator,
and saying: Please give me Mr..
John Smith, who lives on Main
street, somewhere just beyond the
corner around Eighth street in the
house Mr.. Blank used to live in"
How in the name of the Almighty
would a new operator know what
connection to make?

rs IT ANY WONDER THERE Is
SHORTAGE OF COAL?

Tired of the sight of coal, George
Farmer, a coal miner of Jenkins,
KY, came to Detroit. Seven days
was the period of time it took the
train on which he rode to make the
trip.
A short time ago he left the mines
and boarded the "losers" Pullman.
He slept on coal at night and dur
ing the days counted total of 49,
920 loaded cars of coal. While
talking to B. J. Sand, director of the
employment bureau at the old Fed
eral building, who got him a job as
a coal miner, Farman said:
II counted $40 cars in Benham,
KY; 24S in Jackson, KY; I saw
cars in a line three miles long at
Revenna, KY; ST. in Winchester:
$500 in the Cincinnati and Coving-
ton yards; 2,400 in Bellfountaine,
O.; $500 cars in and outside of To-
ledo."
The past week has seen the most
extensive movement of coal over the
lines of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad in several months. 1t is es-
timated by railroad men that at least
1900 heavily, loaded cars Of fuel
have been moved from sidetracks
at Patio, south Of Winchester, to
the Covington yards.
Practically all the coal which has
just been moved was enlarged by
the northern railway lines and when
it was impossible for the other lines
to handle it, nothing remained to be
done but place it on the sidetracks.
A large amount of the fuel has been
taken over by coal merchants in
Kentucky, who, being without sup
ply, took advantage of the Fuel Ad-
ministratior's offer on the basis OF
a prior billing.

ENCOURAGING NEWS FROM THE
STATE FUEL ADMINISTRATOR

mittee, is in receipt of the following
letter from State Fuel Administra-
tor w. B. Bryan, of Louisville, which
is self-explanatory:
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. %, 1917.
Mr.. James H. Thompson, Chairman,
Federal Fuel Committee,
Paris, KY.
Dear SIR
This acknowledges receipt of your
favor of the 26th inst.
/ note what you state with refer
ence to the seriousness of the coal
situation in your county, and assure
you Of my very best efforts in en-
deavoring to give you some relief.
On account of priority order No. 5,
which gives preference, to railroad
fuel and by-product plants, both as
regards supply and movement, 1T
makes it extremely difficult at this
time to secure cars for loading.
Everything possible is being done
by this Office to have this order re-
scinded or cancelled until which
time there is very little likelihood of
any coal being shipped for domestic
purposes.
just received word from Wash
ington that priority order No 5 will
either be modified or cancelled in
the next day or two. When this
shall have been done, feel sure that
your needs can then be taken care
of through the dealers regular
source Of supply.
Assuring you of my every co-ope-
ration in this time of National en-
Urgency, remain,
Yours very truly,
