RED CROSS. CHRISTMAS SEAL
CAMPAIGN TAGGING.

Although the school children of
the community and the women of the
county have been actively at work
in this city and county in the in
terest of the Red Cross Christmas
Seals campaign, their efforts have
not met with that generous re-
Spouse that has always characteriz-
ed every public movement in Bour-
bon county.
For the first time in the history
of Bourbon county drives" it has
been noted that a campaign having
for it's object the welfare of the
community and the State at large,
is not measuring up to the standard.
For the first week or ten days of the
campaign the sale of the little seals
met with a ready market, but since
that time the receipts have not been
as gratifying as the management
desires, in order to make good
showing for the county, giving rise
to feeling of slight Encouragement
and some apprehension as TO the flu
ture.
1t is hardly likely that everybody
in Bourbon county has been suppl
ed with Red Cross Seals, and it may
be that the canvaSsers have over
looked large number of prospects.
But that should not deter the work
ers. The few cents needful to pur-
chase block of these stamps will be
the means of prolonging the life, or
at least relieving the sufferings of
some tuberculosis-burde man,
woman or child.
Let everyone come forward now
and help the canvassers when they
come to see you, or approach you on
the street. There is no wOrthier
cause under the sun than the sale 70
the Red Cross Christmas Seals, and
there should be no more hesitating.
The campaign will close in a few
days.

BASKET BALL GAMES.

The basket ball season will be
iraugurated in this city tonight
with a game at the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium. The Paris High
school and the Georgetown team
will meet on the "Y" floor at 1880
o'clock in struggle for the honor
of landing the first game.
Georgetown sent word that they
would be on hand with a strong
team. While the lineup of the
Paris team has not been given out
il is safe to say that the p. H. S.
boys will be there with good men
on guard. Among the stars Of for
mer games who will be on the team
are Barnett, Rice, Roberts and sew
eral others.
Basket ball has grown immensely
in favor as an indoor sport of late
years, and its popularity with Paris
people has been evidenced by the
large attendance and enthusiasm
greeting each game. Give the boys
a good crowd tonight, and let every
body pull for them to win the open
ing game.
Andy Gill, coach of the University
of Kentucky basket ball team, will
officiate tonight as referee. 1t is
said that the Paris lineup will in
clude Rice, Roberts, Burnett, Tuck
er. Dundon, McClintock, O'Neill,
Baldwin, Jacoby, Adair, Clark or H.
Roberts. Georgetown is said to
have one of the strongest High
School teams in Central Kentucky.
hut Paris hopes to show them
something of the science of basket
ball play.

In the past the old Bourbon Gun
Club, composed of some of the best

where the crack of the gun was
heard in days of yore at the target
shooting and live bird tournaments
was leased by the Fayette Gun Club.
A few nights ago number of en-
thusists held meeting and discuss
ed the reorganization of the club.
This was done with charter men,

Receipts on the Paris markets
were considerably larger Tuesday,
and the prices ranged higher. Con-
siderable low grades at some of the
warehouses had a tendency to re-
duce averages. The Bourbon To-
bacco Warehouse Co. sold at their
Paris house 169,835 pounds of to-
bacco for $90,810.16, an average OF
$53.47.
: A change of date has been made
in the closing day for the holidays,
from Tuesday, December %, to Fri
day, December 10. Sales will reopen
on Monday, December 20. This will
give all a breathing spell, and afford
ample opportunity for the growers
to get their crops in shape for sales
after the New Year.
