The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1919-04-29
LOUISVILLE TIMES HAS EDTT0-
RIAL ON PARIS MAN.

Some time ago THE NEWS had a
local item referring to the strange
fact that Dan Daley, Waterman at
the Tenth street crossing of the L..
& N, in this city, had his first
glimpse Of Bourbon county's hand
some court house, though he had
lived here all his life. Under the
head of WEAKNESS" the Louisville
Times thus treats the item editori-
ally:
Dan Daley, of Paris, KY, must
be somewhat akin in mood to his
late lamented namesake who used to
render in such unctuous style, Same
old story-nothing new in The
Rounders,' even though he does spell
his name with an e.
"Mr. Daley, of Paris, seeks moth
ing new, doesn't care for it and will
not even look at it, though he is
placed within immediate juxtaposi-
ton. In testimony weherof we SUBJ
nit this from a Paris newspaper:
Increditable as it may seem, Dan
Daley, who has been crossing watch
man at the Tenth street station of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad in
this city for the past thirty five
years, has never seen Bourbon
county's handsome court house, a few
blocks from where he is employed.
Mr.. Daley, who is cripple, attends
strictly to his duties, and says when
his days work is done he feels more
like going to bed than sightseeing
There is a side to Daley's life
which verges on the tragic. 1t is
the side that reflects a longing to
see the court house, even though it is
located a few blocks from his place
of business. 1t is matter of no
moment to him how Bourbon county
acclaims this architectural monu-
ment, how pilgrims from adjacent
counties journey hither and gaze
upon the pile of stone and mortar
with open mouths, or how many
times idle citizens of the town re
gale strangers with: It's the finest
court house in the South for a
county of this size
But Dan is tired. He goes to
bed. He doesn't want to see Sights
He is content to pillow his consci-
ence on that good old maxim, 'Suff1-
Gent for the day is the evil thereof
Others may revel in the beauties of
the court house, but Morpheus
claims Dan just like melancholy
marked the swain in Gray's 'Elegy.'
Being tired-'dog-tired moth
ing uncommon even to an editor, and
Dams window we glimpse
bit of visualized philosophy, born Of
mayhap, but which might
be helpful to lost of people who chafe
over things of no great pith and mo-
ment and who are not keyed to the
breaking point over something which
merely tickles the fancy of the gar
rulous and the curious"

ANOTHER BIG ONE.

Some time ago John ]. (Kitty)
Mccarthy caught a five-pound bass
in Stoner Creek. So far this stands
as the record catch for a Bourbon
county fisherman in local stream.
The record catch was almost equalled
last week when James Douglass, Jr.,
caught a plymouth bass in Stoner
which tipped the scales at four
pounds and four ounces.
Even during the recent cold
days the fishermen patiently piled
their art in angling for the fnny
tribe, with more or less success.
The spring season for the sport finds
it's devotees ready and willing.

RECENT COLD SNAP BROUGHT
RUIN TO SOME CROPS.

Well posted Bourbon county farm
ers state that as result of the recent
cold spell, when the mercury tum-
bled to below freezing, considerable
damage has been been done to some
crops in this county, especially the
wheat, and the small fruits that had
concern is felt over the condition Of
the wheat crop. There had been a
steady growth of the cereal and the
young shoots had begun jointing,
with the result that freeze at that
time will prove very injurious, tend
ing to produce heavy straw and lit
tie grain. The same is said to be
true of the bluegrass, freeze pro-
ducing a light crop.
Potatoes are reported as having
been killed, and the oats crop is also
said to have sustained considerable
damage. Grapes were largely blight
ed. Green gage plums as large as
peas were frozen, while peaches and
pears are reported as having been
badly frosted. The strawberry
plants are blackened by the heavy
frosts and many of the early fruits
are destroyed beyond possible hope of
redemption. Planters of early vege-
tables are facing a total loss, accord
inf to Mr.. H. H. Hillenmeyer, of Lex
ington, a man whose word in this re-
spect cannot be disputed. The to-
mato plants in beds were completely
knocked out. Tobacco plants sus-
tanned comparatively little damage,
having been we'll advanced Some
corn had been planted before the ad-
vent of the cold weather, but the
ground is so cold that the seed will
rot and the crop will have to be
planted over again. The damage to
the wheat, grass and seed crops,
vegetables and fruits, it is said, will
mount up into the thousands.

The present management of the
Citizen has been informed that a
deal has been made today whereby
the ownerships of this paper passes
into the hands of P. E. Burke, the
latter having purchased the plant,
good will and entire business from
the Citizens State Bank of Scobey.
What the policy of the paper will be

the thing, let me say that the day
received it | reached home with it
about o'clock in the evening and
had the lights on the same night.
Second, for the first week or two
| was without storage batteries, still
by using the, plant "direct on the
generator" I was able to make good
use of the plant. The light was very
BRIGHT AND STEADY when used
in this way.
/ have now used the Lalley for
four months and have not had a
seconds bother or trouble with it.
And by the way it runs would not
look for trouble for a long, long
time.
| find that the plant is very econ
omical. | notice that with average
use, in an eight room house that it
takes about one gallon of gasoline
Per week. This, am sure is far
less than the cost would be if I were
to have anything like the same light
from any style of common lamps.
Then the convenience alone I find is
worth more than the cost. 1t is
truly VERY NICE to "touch the but
ton and have flood of light" l
have lights in every room in the
house III a cellar, also in the barn,
where | find they are just the thing.
Never had half decent light when
I used the old lantern.
Ny wife is more than pleased with
the plant. She can care for it, and
my two year. old boy can start and
stop it.. She says the chances to
iron with electricity is a great saving
in time and hard work.
Am going to have a couple of
small motors to run the small ma
chimes, such as washer, churn, etc.
| cannot see any chance to, kick on
the plant or it's workings. If I were
to buy again tomorrow, it would be
another Lalley,
From all that I have seen of the
plant so far, I would recommend it
to anyone wanting light and pow
er plant of that size.
| hope all your customers will be
as pleased as I am, and hope that
they will be many. Wishing you the
success you deserve, I remain,
Yours very truly,

Circulating Petitions
For County Library
Community Hall Will Be Made Into
Library if Miss Wilson Succeeds.

Owing to the downpour which Wis
tied this country the first of the
week, the drive for names on the
petitions for the county library was
delayed until Tuesday of next week,
much to the chagrin of County Sup
erintendent Wilson who is set on
establishing a county library in
Sheridan county.
Miss Wilson says that it will re-
quire about 1900 names to get the
library, but she thinks that she can
secure the names and it is to be
hoped that she can, for a library
should be established.
1t is claimed that if the library
goes over the top that che Commu-
nifty Hall will be remodeled for Ii
brary building: the upper story for
a, library and the basement for a
gymnasium. Thus two birds will be
killed with one stone.
Get busy for the library.

WILSON TO CALL EXTRA SEES
SION OF CONGRESS SOON

Washington, May 8.-With the
peace situation clearing through the
return of the Italians to Paris, I'M
official information here is that
President Wilson will call Congress
into session before June possibly
May e..
Information here has been that
President Wilson will call congress
about June 1 and would arrive in
this country just before the day set
for congress to convene. Now, &C
cording to later information, it is
considered probable" he will call
the session at least a week before
June L. It would be hardly possible
for the president to return aboard
the George Washington before about
May 26 or II. In the event he de-
cides to convene congress before
June l., he may return on some other
ship.
