FIFTEEN HUNDRED AUTOS OWN
ED IN THE COUNTY.

1t has been estimated by automo-
bile dealers in the city and county
that over 1900 automobiles are own
ed by Paris and Bourbon county peo-
pie, and that the number is constant
ly being added to each week. This
is said by some dealers to be a great
er number of machines than is
possessed by any other county in the
world in comparison to it's popula-
ton. Statisticans have figured out
that there is one auto to every eleven
persons in the county, and, reckoning
the average family at four persons.
it would mean that there are at least
two autos for every five families.
Judging from the number Of ma
chimes parked around the court house
square and on the side streets in this
city every Saturday it would seem
that the auto statisticians had missed
their figures by several hundred ma
chimes. All kinds, cOlors and prices
are represented in the assemblage of
motor equipment on these days. And
they're still buying 'em!

BOURBON COUNTY RELATIVES

Mr.. Albert Blair, retired attorney
Of st. Louis, who has been guest OF
his relative, John G.. Blair, In Car
Isle, was here last week endeavoring
to learn something of his Kentucky
relatives. Mr.. Blair is now past sew
enty, but is hale and hearty and very
active for one of his years.
His father was born in Bourbon
county, and is buried near Riddles
Mills. He has relatives buried in the
old graveyard at the Cane Ridge
church, near Paris, but owing to the
ravages made by time and weather on
the old headstones, most of which
were made from the native Cane
Ridge sandstone. it may be impossi-
BILE for him to locate their graves.

at North Middletown, which was re-
Gently sold at public sale to Patrick &
Ryan, Of that place, is soon to be
torn away. The purchasers will use
the lumber from the building in the
erection Of garage.
The old building was erected in
1910, and at that time was consider
ed one of the best churche edifices in
the State. The congregation was
much older, being organized in an
old church building that stood near
the old cemetery on the Prescott
pike. The congregation afterward
bought a one-fourth interest in the
old brick building which is now the
new Public School. The Methodists,
Baptists and Presbyterians owned
the other three-fourths and moved to
town. Shortly after, becoming dis
satisfied with the joint arrangement,
the members of the Christian church
erected the old building which has
now been superseded by the hand
some new house of worship.
The old Ficklin property, ON Main
street, opposite the court house, has
been condemned by the State Fire
Marshal, and ordered torn down. 1t
is one of the oldest buildings in the
city. being one of the very first
brick buildings erected in the early
days of Paris. For many years it
has been in a dilapidated condition,

erty was purchased by Mr.. Edward
