The department has begun upon tho
solution Of the difficulty by ending to

which the following is a specimens:
Dear Sir,--ln some sections of the
state the quail were all killed by the
severe weather and the department is
being asked, If possible. TO send few

If the quail in your territory, in your
opinion. are TO be found in sufficient
quantities as 10 admit of II few being
caught to be shipped 10 those cOun-

department would like TO have you adj
wise us how many YOU can obtain.

them.
only Il few birds should be taken
from each covey, and then only from

1T is Impossible for the depart
ment TO procure quail from out of the
State. and unless we can obtain them
as outlined above. we Will be powcrless
to rcstock these depleted sections"
The fact that game cannot be
shipped into Virginia is due to the law
forbidd!ng its transportation from one
State to another.

A Hint To Merchants.

The city of Paris, KY, will never
become a good business center 81
long as it's business men rely on q
few merchants to make the effort to
bring trade to the city. Too often.
alas, far too often, few men in GER
tain lines of trade are the only ones
who seem to have the interest of the
city at heart, as we'll as their own.
and too often they are about the
only. ones who make any effort at all
to reach for the outside trade. Other
merchants wait Until these mer-
chants wait until these mercants in
duce the people to come to Paris, and
content themselves with the trade
that naturally drifts to their doors
because they have been in business
here for many years."
A public spirited man should ask
himself if he is doing his best to az
tract people to come to Paris to trade,
thereby helping the whole commu
nifty. No city can ever be success
unless all lines are busy working to
extend their trade as far as possible,
and trying to bring larger territory
in the circles of which Paris is the
logical center. Get busy, men!
Awake, Paris!

Know One of These?

When you hear man running
down his home paper Or any other
local industry just take a look AT
him. Ten to one he will have a
chin as long as rail, an eye as rest
less as horse thief, and he will
hitch around in his chair as if he had
touch of st. Vitus dance. Talk
with him a while and you will dis
cover that he has made failure of
everything he has ever tried Except
being disagreeable), and nine times
out of ten he is dependent on the
public for favors or support. You
will find him a meddlesome, peevish,
Jealous, hateful and unreliable ma
ture; a man who is always complain
ing, and, although he has but little,
if anything of his own, one would
imagine, to hear him talk, that he
had a quitclaim deed to the earth
and a first mortgage on Heaven. He
knows everybody's business, and why
shouldn't he? He has none of his
own to take up his time. Such
people, like mosquitoes, were not
created in vain, perhaps, but one
fact remains staple, they do not add
materially to the pleasures of con-
duct in legitimate business.

In Them Back DAYS.

Now that everything in the eating
line is being Hooverized, it may be
of interest to the younger genera
ton of Bourbon county people to
know that during the Civil War in
America the War Department issued
an official order regulating the cost
of necessaries Of life. While all
food stuffs were exceedingly scarce
in 1868, here are some of the prices:
Bacon, 10 and IL cents per pound;
sirloin steak, Is cents; ham, Is and
IS cents; mutton and pork, II
cents; butter, % cents; lard, Is
cents; potatoes, 25 cents a peck;
chickens, so cents pair; small
cabbage, cents; watermelons, 10
cents each ANY person." said the
order, convicted of selling at higher
rate will be punished according to
the discretion of the Provost Marshal
and the produce shall be forfeited.
OF course, there are many still living
in this city who can remember very
distinctly when these prices were in
effect, but the younger element who
talk about the high prices of every
thing in war time should know that
their grandfathers and grandmotherl
knew what real times were in their
days during the Civil War.
