louisville AUTHOR OF NEW
BOOK KNOWN HERE.

The announcement that Mrs. K. M.
Kelly, Jr., of Louisville, has just had
her third book, why, Joan?" re-
leased from the publisher, is OF much
interest here, where the talented au-
thor has a large circle of friends,
and where she has often been well
come guest.
The scene of this story is laid in
Louisville and the charming social
life of that city has been faithfully
portrayed by the facile pen of this
gifted writer.
The book deals with the complex
problems which confront young John
Darcy, a Kentuckian by descent and
adoption. in her efforts to find her
place in the world. A highly SEN
sitized, introspective type, this young
heroine is a splendid example of the
modern girl, with many traditions
back of her and many ambitions be-
fore her. Behind Joan are two he
roes as different as two men could be
but both willing to sacrifice. each In
his own way. in order that she may
find what she is seeking.
The numerous vicissitudes OF this
not always Iovable, but very human
young girl, will command the closest
attention Of the readers Of iction and
the book promises to be tremendous
success.

CAN IT REALLY BE TRUE!

Again there seems to be a reason
able prospect for a satisfactory solu-
ton of the question of a future wa
ter supply for Paris, which has been
in jeopardy for the past few months,
due to the washing out of the dam at
the Paris Milling Company's plant,
and a disagreement among the inter-
terested parties as to defraying cost
of building new dam.
Shortly after assuming his duties
as member of the Board of Coucil
of the city of Paris, Mr.. John Mer-
ringer began an active campaign
among the three interested parties,
the Paris Milling Company, the Paris
Water Company and the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company. Several
times it seemed likely that his efforts
would be successful, but each time
objections would be offered and urg-
ed by one or the other of the parties.
Finally the situation became so seri-
Gus that the people of Paris threat
ened to hold a mass meeting and
thresh the matter out. The special
committee of the Council, composed
of Messrs. Merringer, Veatch and
AlSCl, WOlO III WIN
the officers of the Water Company,
and on March Is sent an ultimatum.
Last Friday, Mayor e. B. January
sent a message to the officers of the
Water Company, stating that the
citizens were becoming impatient,
and that an answer was requested at
once.
On Saturday an answer was receiv-
ed from Mr.. L. H. Fuller, president
of the Water Company, stating that
the Company would deposit in a
Paris bank a sum of money sufficient
to cover half of the cost of building
new dam, and if the Milling Com
pany was satisfied, any contract ap-
proved by attorney E. M. Dickson
for the Water Company, would be
signed. Mr.. B. M. Renick, president
of the Paris, Milling Company, al
once notified his attorney, Judge
Denis Dundon, to accept the PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. Fuller's telegram to Mayor
January was as follows:
Expected to reply to committee
but in answer to your telegram will
say we are willing to deposit in
escrow in Paris bank one-half of esr
| timated cost of dam construction
Advise if milling company are salts
fed, if so any form Of contract ap
proved by Dickson will be signed.

JACK SPRATT, VICTIM OF SHOOT.
ING, PASSES AWAY.

Relatives in this city of Jesse
(Jack) Spratt, formerly of Paris,
who was shot by his friend, Lowell
Marriott, in Cincinnati, on the night
of March Is, received telephone mes
sages Friday night from the General
Hospital, in Cincinnati, stating that
Spratt had died in that that institu-
ton at late hour from the effects
of the wound, the bullet piercing his
abdomen.
Marriott is in the County Jail in
Cincinnati, where he is said to be in
a very highly nervous state. A
charge of shooting with intent to
kill, which had been placed against
him, will probably be changed to
murder. Marriott was found in a
pool of water by detectives near his
home after the shooting. Spratt re-
sided at 1910 Conant avenue, Madi-
sonville, and his slayer, who repre-
scented himself as an artists model,
lived at 5704 Bramble avenue.
The shooting took place at New
town. village east of Cincinnati.
Spratt, the victim of Marriott's pis-
[tol, was &c and married. Marriott,
his sister, Margaret, and his brother,
William, and Mr.. and Mrs. Spratt,
Spratt's brother, Russell, and Miss
Mary Cantrill, of Oakley, attended a
party at the home of Marriott
grandfather in Newtown, Monday
night At 1880 all except Lowell
Marriott got into the automobile to
go home. Marriott had been disor-
derby all evening and had frequently
displayed a revolver Marriott, it is
said, stood on the sidewalk and abus-
ed Spratt, who was his lifelong
friend. Spratt finally stepped out of
the automobile to quiet Marriott,
who fired. Spratt fell and Marriott

dered Spratt taken to the General
Hospital Night Chief Kirgan detail
ed Detectives Bohlke and Rolf to go
to Marriott's house. Corporal Rob
inson accompanied them. After they
arrived at his home, they followed
his trail by the light of electric Ian
terms. When they saw only Mar
riots head above the water, they
thought he was dead. Marriott, hear
ing them say they thought this, made
a pretense of being lifeless, but the
Iruse failed. At the point of revolvers
The was dragged out of the water.
| The funeral will be held in Madi-
sonville this (Tuesday) afternoon, al
1880 O'Clock, with services conducted
at the graveside in the Madisonvills
Cemetery. Mr. Spratt is survived BY
his wife, formerly Miss Lucretia Nc
Clu.e, of Paris, and two sons.

TWO CAMPAIGNS HAVE AUSPICI-
GUS OPENING.

Two campaigns, each one for a
most worthy cause, were launched

those for funds and food for the re-
lief of the starving people OF Arme-

the French and Belgian refugees
The former campaign is being con-
Quoted under the direction of Mr..
Chas. B. Mitchell, County Chairman.
Bourbon county's quota has been
placed at approximately s4,100.
The response in both campaigns
has been very generous. The drive
for clothing for the refugees really
will not be under Roadway until to-
day. Miss Elizabeth Steele, chair
man, stated that the committees had
been appointed for the purpose Of So
liciting, and that several large dona-
lions of clothing had already been
sent in, but that the campaign would
not take definite shape until this
morning, when it will start out with
a vim.
Miss Steele asks for donations Of
clothing of all sizes for both sexes.

OLD POSTAGE RATES TO BE RE.
STORED.

The three-cent-an-Ounce postage
rate which went into effect on Octo-
Der 8, 1917, as a war measure, is to
be replaced on July 1 by reversion
to the old two-cent rate, simultane-
ously with the coming of National
prohibition. The following is the
full text of the official order as re-
ceived here by Postmaster ]. Walter
Payne:
ION July /, 1919, the rate of post
age on all irst-class mail will be the
same as the rate in force on October
2, 1917. In other words, the rate on
letters entitled to the domestic rate
of postage will be two cents for each
ounce or fraction thereof and post
cards one cent each. The drop let.
ter rate will be one cent.
"As postage stamps cannot be ex-
changed, business patrons should sc
regulate their purchases as not te
purchase more three-cent stamps and
envelopes and two cent postal cards
than can be used prior to July 1
1919. OF course, the three-cent en-
velopes and two-cent postal cards
will be perfectly good for postage
after July 1, but one-cent less vii
be required on letters and posta
cards.
at should be distinctly borne II
mind that the former rate OF post
age on frst-class mail will not take
effect until July 1, 1919. Z

TRYING OUT THE NEW PARIS
FTREMEN

Evidently someone has been try
ing out the new f1remen in the Paris
fire department, as three alarms last
week called them out. The first was
a silent call to a house near the
County Jail, where small blaze was
extinguished. The second was to the
home of Mr.. E. E. Landes, on Wal
ker avenue, where a can of gasoline
exploding in a garage caused small
blaze, which the flremen extinguish
ed with small property loss. The
third alarm was sent in from Box
33, Saturday night, evidently by
some mischief-maker, as the firemen
found no blaze in the vicinity.
