HAIL STORM Is
DISASTROUS HERE.
Sunday Morning Downpour OF Rain
And Hail Stones Hurt County
Tobacco Crop. ~

Sunday mornings downpour of
rain accompanied by terrific hail
storm has damaged the tobacco crop
in this county some $4,000, accord.
ing to an estimate compiled from fig
ures from the Cottage Grove and
Puryear sections, in the northwest
part of the county. There was very
little damage in the Buchanan sec
tion, where there is much tobacco
grown, however. -sN-.
Near Cottage Grove, the worst
damage is reported. 1t seems the
storm travelled in a path about one
mile wide. On the Joe James place
it is said that in a patch of thirty a.
cres of tobacco, there are not an
hundred plants worth cutting now.
Much damage resulted on the Ewing
Bruce plantation, as well as on the
Will Bowden place in that vicinity.
The total acreage subject to damage
aggregates about 400 acres. To-
bacco is now in process of cutting,
although very little of it had been
cut at the time of the storm.

PARIS BLooDHoUNDS MAKE
CATCH AT CLARkSVILLE

Paris bloodhounds, owned by Ho-
mer Wells, added another laurel to
the wreath this week, when Mr.. Wells
went to Clarksyille Sunday night with
his dogs to catch murderer.
1t seems a Miss Lillian McCarver
had been shot to death from ambush.
Her stepfather was suspicioned, be-
cause it is said of jealousy over the
young man she was keeping company
with. Mr.. Wells arrived on the
scene at 2:30 in the morning, the
dogs were carried to the point where
the shot was fired, and Immediately
took the trail, thence through the
city and to the county jail In the
meantime the murderer, William
Baggett, had been suspicioned and
lodged in Jail, and when the dogs
confirmed the suspicion, he made q
confession,
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1919-09-05

troit to Paris, that he did not have
to shift gear many more than three
times. He is demonstrating Racine
tires, has big framed charts of the
new little A Overland, the mystery
car, and will add a new Hudson
speedster to his demonstration for
the remaining days of the fair which
is beauty and elegant in its ap-
pointments.
Owl Garage has one of the nifty
new Dodges on display and United
States and Goodrich tires. T. E.
Leach also is showing an A No. l
Delkar rubber tire buggy which is the
best of its type manufactured.
Warren Jewelry Company is dem
onstrating the Hamilton Pianola. A
sign in this boothe reads: "We would
show Victrola, but we are sold out"
McGehee's Variety Store has good
exhibit. Rhodes-Burford is showing
Bucks Range, Bucks Hot Blast
Heater and Sellers Kitchen Cabinet.
Ezell, Pullen & Grass boothe has
display Of Allen and Majestic ranges,
Cole Hot Blast heaters, and kitchen
cabinets.
Another boothe not occupied the
first day belongs to the Delco and the
Alama Farm Lighting Plants.
The livestock exhibit this year is
fair, but not Indicative of the pure
bred stock of the county, though 9TH
er entries may have been made since
the first day. However, Mr.. Hunter
has an excellent exhibit of hogs and
some very fine cattle are on dis
play.
That the woman's department is
shy exhibits Of canned fruit, vege-
tables, ETC., the firt day is probably
largely due to the absence from the
county of county agent, who has
heretofore, maze an effort to work up
this display, but there is some pretty
handwork shown, and probably the
other days will show additional en-
tries in the woman's department.
Everyone who attends the fair,
should certainly see Mr.. Lasater's
prize dogs shown next to the poultry
department. All who love dogs will
enjoy looking over these $1,000 and
$1,000 dogs.
The first day of the fair is proba-
bly, not wholly indicative of poultry,
farm produce, and some other exhib-
its.
!; Three more days will bring many
developments in the fair. Friday
will be gala day. Confederate
veterans and all returned soldiers
will be served banquet. Officials
of the state will be present and rec

LIBERTY BOND
INTEREST DUE
Treasury Department Will Pay To
Bond Holders of Third Loan
$aS, ,75O,9Sl.91.

The one million persons and corpo-
rations in the 9Th Federal Reserve
District who bought Third Liberty
Loan Bonds will have an opportunity
of turning interest into more interest
on Sept. Is, said Y. @. Caldwell,
Postmaster of Paris, today.
On that date the government will
make semi-annutl payment on the
Third Liberty Loan Bonds, amount
ing to the sum of $88,750,981.91.
The Treasury Department is urging
that bond holders reinvest their in
terest in Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, and thus keep their dollars
working.
Making a wealth heap has two pro-
cesses--addition and multiplication.
Saving is addition--a dollar and a
dollar 1t comes easier as one goes
along hut the increase is no faster
next year than now.
When you set the dollar to work
that is multiplication. Your pile
grows slowly this year, little faster
still little faster, then faster and
faster, till interest outruns the saw
ing.
War Savings Stamps do more thar
add dollar to dollar. They begin tt
multiply. No better investmen'
could be found for your interest cou
pons..- Remember this on Sept. is

RAILROAD MEN!

Two gentlemen were in The Pa
risian office during the past week
and made the remark that some
obnoxious article antagonistic to
rail1 Dad employees was recently
printed i'll The Partisan. The two
particular gentlemen were inclin-
ed to criticise The Partisan accord
ingly.
Investigation developed that
this article, headed "Plan to Re-
peat Attack of 1916" was not in
The Partisan. The gentlemen
said they would see that the cor
rection was made accordingly in
sofar as they had discussed it with
other railroad men.
If we understand, the article re-
ferred to was an installment on a
series of articles that is being put
out by the railroads. TIE Paris
ian was requested to publish them,
and flatly refused.
The Partisan stands with, by
and for the railroad men, right or
wrong, now and all the time. The
railroad men, as a rule, under
stand this. 1t is the only paper
in this section that even made
any reference to the recent strike
situation and attempted to lay IL
before the people, that the en-
ployees side of the situation might
be understood.
