THURSDAY MEMORIAL DAY

Next Thursday, May go. will be
legal holiday, being the annual OBJ
servance of Memorial or Decoration
Day. All the banks and the postoffice
will be closed. The barber shops
will close from noon on that day un-
til Friday morning.
1t is hardly probable there will be
any public observance of the day
here, as it has been in the past. For
many years the colored G. A. r. OBJ
served the day by marching to the
colored cemetery and decorating the
graves of their departed comrades,
but their ranks have become so
thinned that the observance has fall
en- into disuse. Still to many the day
will be one that will bring many
memories, and the graves of the dead
in the local cemetery will be decorat-
ed with flowers by individuals. Con-
federate and Pythian decoration days
come on different dates, sometimes in
June

BOY SCOUTS HIKE.

About forty members of the Boy
Scouts went on a hike" Friday
evening, and had a most enjoyable
time. They left Paris about 2:15
Friday afternoon, marched out the
Georgetown pike, thence out the
Cynthiana pike, to the home of Mr.. j.
Miller Ward, where they pitched
their tents and "camped out" in
true military style. Sentries were
posted and the guard changed at reg
ular intervals. All the requirements
of military life were observed. The
young warriors were guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Ward Saturday, and were
given the liberty of the farm, a
privilege of which they took the full
est advantage. Bathing, scouting,
cracking" and inspecting farm
methods gave the boys plenty of
amusement and profitable occupation.
They returned Saturday evening as
happy a set of youngsters as ever
wore the khaki.

the growing and marketing of crops

one hundred mark. Frequent rains
have also helped the crop-makers,
and all seems well as far as it has

taking advantage of the good sea
