BOURBON MAKES FINE FINISH
IN w. S. S. CAMPAIGN

AICer many Gays OF almost un-
ceasing activity, during which the
workers in the city and county hard
ly gave thought to their personal
comfort and welfare, the campaign
for the sale of War Savings Stamps
came to a close Friday night, in what
might have been called "a blaze of
glory" had there been any need for
rhetorical bombardment But it
was simply the finish of month of
weIl-directed effort, hustling, and the
tearnest work of the women of Paris
and Bourbon county, to whom most
of the credit for the success of the
campaign is due. The drive closed
with a total subscription of nearly
s4O0, 900 pledged, going far over the
quota assigned to the county of
s394,24O.
Through the columns of the local
press the people have been kept ad-
vised of the progress of the cam
paign from time to time, and they are
we'll aware by this time of the fact
that every prediction made as to the
ultimate result of the campaign has
been fully verified. Bourbon has up
held it's reputation for successful
prosecution of war activity move
;ments.
The big feature of the closing day
was the parade in the afternoon pre-
ceding the mass-meeting at the court
house. The parade under the direc-
ition of Grand Marshal Rudolph
Davis, was a distinct success, we'll
managed and having many noble fea-
lures. The order of parade was as
follows: Grand Marshal and staff;
Paris police; Red Cross ambulances,
with Red Cross nurses and surgeons
attending a wounded soldier" Wo-
linen horseback riders, led by Mrs.
James Thompson, Jr.; Red Cross
girls carrying large American flag;
men on horseback; Paris Fire De-
partment, auto fire truck and police
patrol; automobile float representing
need of wheat cover there;" city and
county officials in automobiles; citi-
zens in automobiles. The parade dis
banded at the court house.
i At three o'clock a large crowd
gathered at the court house, where
after the rendition of a number OF
vocal selections by the Boatright Or
chestra and the Liberty Chorus, and
: the invocation by Rev. W. E. Ellis
of the Paris Christian church, County
; Chairman S. E. Bedford introduced
