middle of the pike. SchOoler's ad-
Illustrator, sued for $4,000 dam

PARIS MAY HAVE NEW PASSEN-
GER STATION

If the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road officials can see the necessity
OF having a new passenger station at
Tenth street, in this city, as pre-
sented them in petition signed by
large number of Paris people, it
is more than probable that the new
station may become a reality.
The matter has been taken up for
the city by Mayor January with the
members of the present Railroad
Commission, and in reply to his COM
munication a letter was received
from Sid T. Douthitt, Railroad Com
missioner for this district, stating
that the matter would be left as it is
for the consideration of the incom-
ing Commission.
The present structure was erect
ed many years ago, and is said now
to be entirely inadequate for the
needs of the railroad and the express
companies, and for the accommoda-
ton of the travelling public. Several
years ago L. & N. architects prepar-
ed plans for the erection of a new
station, but no action was taken,
owing to the coming of the great
war, which stopped proceedings.
Should a favorable decision be ar
rived at in the matter, the work of
building could not begin before next
spring, and until after the Govern
ment surrenders the road to it's orig
inal owners, which it is promised,
will take place on January 1, 1920.

party, with W. B. Corbin, John L.
Buckley. ]. c. Stone, of Lexington,
ana Baxter Bros, of Winthrop,

cally completed, involves the pur-
chase of about $4,000 acres of land,
located ten miles east of Odds, in AL
berta, Province, Canada, and neces-
states an outlay of s350,000. This
land is situated in the best and
richest mixed farm district in the
Province of Alberta, and has been
under lease for the past five years to

lease. expires and the property is
turned over to the purchasers,
part of the land will be put into
crops and the remainder will be used

velops in Alberta, it is very proba-
bic that thoroughbred horses will
form a part of the farms activities.
