HEAVY RAINS ARE FOLLOWED
BY COLD WAVE

Considerable damage is believed to
have been caused in the county by
the sudden rising of streams and
branches which have become swollen
and out of their natural channels by
the heavy rains that have continued
for two or three days. According to
reports received here yesterday from
Mr.. H. F. Hillenmeyer, of Licking
ton, the depth of the rainfall for the
past two days was nearly 8 inches
and a half, an inch and one-half
falling during Wednesday. Mr.. Hill
enmeyer stated that the rain had
been general all though Central
Kentucky. Wednesday night the rain
changed to snow, which continued
internationally for most of the night.
Yesterday the temperature dropped
to "a degrees above zero.
Heavy rains covering a period of
about sixty hours put Stoner and
Houston ctreeks, running through
Paris, out of their banks, and flooded
the lowlands along these streams.
Branches became creeks and flowed
all over the surrounding territory.
Travel was seriously impeded in some
parts of the county. Transfers from
North Middletown had to make a de-
tour by way of Stony Point and the
Winchester pike, to get to Paris.
Yesterday morning the water was al
most up to the first floor of the Paris
Milling Company, the old baseball
grounds in White Addition and all
the lowlands adjacent being under
water. Residents of the lowland
portions of Ruckerville were COM
PEELED to seek higher ground and
move their household effects and per-
sonal belongings to places of safety.
Following the rains a cold wave
set in, which reports In the daily
papers indicate spread over the
Northwest, Southwest and Middle
Western States, delaying traffic and
great inconvenience. The
mercury dropped in Chicago to near
ly zero, while extreme temperatures
were reported from widely varying
localities.
The cold wave was accompanied
by snow east OF the Mississippi, in
northwestern Texas a blizzard ragged
and in Nebraska and South Dakota
similar conditions were reported. In /
Wyoming temperatures ranged from
1 to 81 degrees below zero and it was
1 2 below at Denver.
Train service was seriously af-
fected in Western Kansas and Colo
RADIO, as well as in Northern Texas.

Government, and it was organized
and came into being in the same year
in which the Constitution Of the
United States was adopted.
At the time of the establishment of
the Presbyterian church in what is
now known as the City of Paris, this
city consisted simply of few rurely
CONSTRUCTED log huts and did not ex-
coed, according to the best authori
ties, more than about three hundred
persons in its population. 1t had MT
even risen to the dignity of having a
name; it had never been incorporated
as municipality; and it was not un-
til 1889 that the Virginia Legislature
passed as act Incorporating it as a
municipality under the name of
Hopewell; and in the following year.
1890, the same Legislature changed
this name to the City Of Paris.
The Reverend Andrew Mcclure
was the pastor, who organized and
ministered to this congregation until
his death in 1893 1t appears from
the records that during the years
that Mr.. Mcclure ministered to this
church, he likewise ministered to a
Presbyterian church located at Rud-
dies Mills, and known as Stoner-
Mouth Church. The old walls Of this
church were standing at a time we'll
within the memory of the writer.
The first church building in this
cf4 hYti1 located
upon a lot now occupied by the resi-
dence of the late James T. Davis.
This building, sometime about 1920,
was taken down and brick struct-
ure was built upon the same site,
during the ministry of the Reverend
John Mcfarland.
This church at Paris was organic
ed by what Is known as Pennsylvania
Presbytery, which Presbytery was or
ganized in 1885, and was the first
Presbytery organized west OF the Al
leghaney Mountains, and the minis
tiers composing this Presbytery were:
The Rev. David Rice, Rev. Andrew
Mcclure, Rev. Thomas Craighead,
Rev Adam Rankin and Rev. James
| Crawford.
In the spring of 1895 the Rev. SAM
Iuel Rannells, likewise an emlgrant
from the State of Virginia, succeeded
the Rev. Andrew Mcclure as the pas
tor of this church, and he continued
his ministry from that time until his
death on the 26th day of March,
1817. 1t is recorded OF him that ne
was a most earnest, Jealous and Ia
borous worker in the interest OF MS
church. He came to Paris as a
lsingle man, but after q few months
he returned to Virginia, where ne
WAS married, and returned to this
Mace with his bride. And from the
time that he came to this church In
17q5 I'M even till this hour, 1t IL

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER
TAKES UP WEAR ON
COLE SERVICE BRAKE

The Cole Motor Car Co. Is equip
ping all OF its models with an auto
matte brake adjuster which makes
adjustments OF the service brake un-
necessary.
II is a feature that automatically
takes up the wear on the service
brake bands.
Every time the service brake is
used there is a certain amount Of
wear on the brake band. In order
10 properly apply the brakes on a
car ordinarily IT is necessary each
time 70 force the brake pedal down
a little farther This wear takes
place gradually, but none the less
certainly. The day often arrives
when the motorist is unable to stop
the car quickly with the service
brake alone and must resort 10 the
emergency.
When this situation arises the
only remedy Is TO have mechanic
adjust the brakes These adjust
ments are necessary at regular in
tervals
The automatic brake adiuster on
the Cole Aero-Eight chassis is
mounted az the junction OF the serv-
ice brake pedal and the brake rod
AS the wear on the brake band takes
place notches within the adjuster
automatically move back on the rod
and absorb the surplus length oc-
casioned by this wear.

This tour will be participated IN
