MEETING TO FORMULATE PLANS
FOR GLORIOUS FOURTH"

Deep down in our hearts we all
revere the glorious traditions of
America, especially with reference to
the Glorious Fourth of july" the
Nations natal day, when independ-
ence was born. and the United States
of America became a reality. For
years the celebration of the day was
one of the greatest events in the
country's history. With the advent
OF the world-war, stepping as 1t did
into the center of the stage in an
awe-inspiring manner and sweeping
aside everything else, the good old
custom fell away, and was almost
abandoned. Now it is coming into it's
own again.
Several days ago THE NEWS drop
ped a hint to the good people of the
city and county that now would be
a good time to renew the good old
fashioned celebration of the day, and
make it especially a testimonial to
the returned soldiers and sailors of
the country. The seed feel on we'll
titled ground, as is attested by the
fact that meeting has been called
to be held at the court house in this
city next Wednesday night, at 1880
o'clock, for the purpose of discussing
the matter and looking to plans and
working up interest in the proposed
celebration. Coroner Rudolph Davis
is in charge of the matter, which
insures something will be done. The
ladies are especially invited to attend
this meeting, as they are as much
interested as any others. Remember
the meeting at the court house next
wednesday night, at 1880, and

THE LANE OIL COMPANY.


The Lane Oil Company is one of
the latest additions to the oil world
| in Bourbon county, and was organ
| lied and is now controlled by Paris
people, all connected and interested
in other local companies.
The Lane people have acquired
what promises from it's location as to
surrounding wells and properties a
very valuable tract on He'll Creek, in
Lee county. 1t adjoins properties OF
the Bachelor Oil Co., The Atlantic
Refining Company, and many of the
largest companies operating in the
field. The Company's lease looks es-
pecially attractive, due to the fact
the wells Immediately adjoining are
in the hundred-barrel class, and get
better right up to the property than
at a distance.
This Company has on all outside
markets, such as Winchester, Louis
Vile. etc., oversold it's issue of ten
cent. stock, and the books are rap
idly nearing the closing point here
in Paris, where a small allotment is
being offered, and as negotiations
are now being made for the drilling
of some wells, this Company is In
line to be one of the big producers
of the State.
The Company owns other leases in
Lee County, and is pumping its one

Mr.. George Keller, of Dallas,
Texas, who, with his wife, is visiting
his parents, DR.. and Mrs. A. H. Kel-
Ter, in this city, received telegram
Wednesday morning from the guager
in charge of his oil properties at
Ranger, Texas, stating that their
well No. had "come in" and was
showing a capacity of one thousand
barrels per day. Their No. we'll
will be due to come in tomorrow.
These wells are situated in what is
now fast developing into one of the
richest oil fields in Texas.
A number of oil companies and oil
operators have failed to take note of
the Importance of computing their
federal income tax, in accordance
with the act of 1918. This tax is
due June Is, after which date a
penalty of 5 per cent. will be added.
This tax should be paid to the income
tax representatives before that date.
In order to understand the method
Of computing this tax, it is necessary
to make a thorough study of the
Treasury Department Bulletin No
As, Oil and Gas Manual. This is
said to be very intricate, and has a
careful table of depreciation, with a
scale to govern each field.
Oil men are considerably stirred UP
over activity in Carter and Elliott
counties, where Cincinnati Interests
are reported signing up leases for al
property available. One group of Gin
cinnati interests is reported to have
leased $500 acres in Carter and Ell
lioaa counties as a result of the dis
covery of oil shale. When news OF
this discovery leaked out, rush OF
biologists and oil men followed, with
the result that right now Carter ano
Elliott counties are the scene OF
much oil activity. Several producing
oil and gas wells already have beer
found in the southern part of Elliott
county. With this indication Of oil
it is not overstepping the mark to be

Why ACID STOMACH Must
CauseWeakness, BadI Iealth
and Awful Misery

Trace the disease to it's source Then remove the
cause. Physicians say that than 20 non-organic
diseases be traced directly to Acid-Stomach,
hyperacidity they call it. Besides this there are
numerous ailments which can hardly be classified as
true diseases but which, nevertheless, untold
suffering and these too found to have their origin
in ACID-STOMACH.
Now there must be good and sufficient reasons
why so much human misery, suffering and i'll health
that affect practically every part of the body all get
their start IN sour gassy belching, AcidStOmach.
There ARE such reasons-and here is one of them:
Because of acdity acidstomach cannot prop
ery digest food Unless food is fully digested its
shing elements cannot be properly assmilated Hence
the blood becomes thin and impoverished. Even the
strongest body cannot maintain its strength very long
If proper nourishment is denied. And that is the very
reason why so many people weak, sallow-skinned,
emaciated and anemic-always ailingl
Here is another reason: Excess acid causes food to
sour and ferment in the stomach. This gives rise to
indigestion, bechng, sour, gassy stomach, disgusting
food repeating, heartburn dyspepsia, etc. Moreover,
this sour fernhented, partially dgested food when it
passes the ntestnes sets up irritation all along the
