EVERY CRACK OUT OF THE BOX.

Bourbon county and Paris never
fall down on war requirments. Our
country's executives have asked for
community "SingS" in all localities
and Paris was at it on the jump, but
the Chorus had no place and no
piano for the rehearsals. These needs
were made known to our patriotic
citizens and what was the result? In
four hours s175, in small amounts,
was heartily subscribed toward buy
ing a piano for the use of the Chorus
during the continuance of the war
and after that time the piano is to
become the property Of the Bourbon
County Y. M. c. A. to be used by
them in serving the boys" after they
come back. Old Bourbon is on the
Job all the time What The more
she gives the more she wants to give.
Get that? And the Y. M. c. A. has
given the use of it's auditorium for
the rehearsals of the Chorus.
A list of the donors will be pub
lished later. Will your name or the
name of your firm be in it? In this
connection we might add-don't be
