CHRISTMAS BUSINESS

damned the Main street Sidewalks.
lined up in the stores, hustling
from one place to another. and
jostling each other in their anxiety
to get a glimpse of the Christmas
bargains made Saturday and Mon
day busy days for the Paris mer-
chants. Business men are positive
that all past records have been
eclipsed and that the volume Of bus
mess transacted here in the past
few days has been larger than for
any corresponding Christmas in re-
cent years.
Although they have been serious
ly handicapped by the fuel restric-
tons put in force the first part OF
the month, merchants say that the
| trade they have had since the ban
was lifted more than makes up for
the loss. With hundreds of dollars
released into business channels
through the medium of the tobacco
sales held in Paris, a large part of
which is spent with the Paris mer-
chants, not to mention the Christ
mas savings that will come into play
from the Savings Clubs, money will
be found one of the handiest and
most plentiful commodities on the
Paris market
Stocks in the stores of the local
merchants being full, despite the
high prices and lowered production.
a larger share than usual of the
trade of this section has fallen to
the lot of the Paris merchants.
Hundreds of their customers who
have been going to Lexington and
other places have returned to the
fold, and the smiles on the faces of
Paris dealers speaks ample testimony
of the efficacy of advertising, especi-
ally those who have patronized the
columns of THE NEWS.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
 COMES ON SEPT. 25

On Thursday. Sept. 25. the festival of the New Year (Rosh Hashanahl will be observed by the Jews of the entire world. Like all the other Jew ish holy days the festival commences at sunset on the preceding day. Ortho- dox Jews observe two days whereas Reform Jews keep only one day.
 The festival of the New Year is one of the most important in the whole Jewish calendar. It is the first of Q series of holidaEs lasting nearly 9 month. It is likewise the beginning of the Jewish year and one of it's prin- cipal features is the blowing of the Shofar or ram's horn.
 Apart from it's joyful and festive na- ture- Rosh Hashannaa is ricn in mo- ra1 import and significance. The fact that it is the beginning of the New Year lends it special sacredness It is the time of higher resolves. the turn ing point of the wear. Ii is the day which brings home .to the Jew with, great force the lesson that the time is short and the work is great and that. as each year srolls quickly by, the task must be accomp piished within a shorter period. The festival is a gen tie reminder of the brevity of human existence but it optimistically stresses the doctrine that man. far from being a playthtng in the hands of fate can realize his Iife's work if he but takes advantage of the swiftly deetiQG moments.
