BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS

1.-The crop situation in this county
is both good and bad" to use the
words of a well-posted farmer, who
doesn't object to giving the newspa-
pers little information occasionally.
According to this informant two.
thirds of the county will turn out ex-
cellent crops of corn and tobacco,
while, it is stated, as an opposite
side of the picture, that within a
radius of five to seven miles of Paris
in all directions, the crops have suf-
fered badly from the effects of the
cut very short.
Cutting of tobacco is in progress
where it has been seasonable to thus
handle the crop, while in the dis
tricts affected by the drouth a large
part of the tobacco has not made a
good start.
Rain is badly needed to make fall
grass in the dry zone, while grazing
is good in the more favored sections
of the county, and the cattle are hav-
ing good feeding on a wealth of ma
tured grass. Baling of hay and straw
is in progress throughout the county,
while the threshermen are rounding
out the season putting wheat in the
shock.
Country produce is coming in in
ample supply, but vegetables, owing
to the drouth prevailing around
Paris, are getting very scarce.
Dealers are paying farmers the fol-
lowing prices for produce: Eggs, 38
cents per dozen; butter very scarce
and quoted at SO cents per pound;
spring fryers, so cents per pound;
country hams, so cents per pound;
country bacon. 35 cents per pound;
cream so cents per pound.
Livestock shipments have been held
in allegiance on account of the en-
barge resulting from the railroad
strike. 1t is belived, however, that
the worst phase of the situation will
be passed to-day, and that the en-
barge will be lifted, so that delayed
of livestock will begin to
move forward. Many cattle have
been sold for conditional delivery on
this account.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Lyt. Lawrence is confined to his
home in this city with a broken arm
and numerous cuts and bruises about
the body as the result of an accident
which occurred at the city rock
quarry Friday.
Lawrence was working near the
motor, which operates the big rock
crusher when the drive belt slipped
off, catching him and drawing him
into the machine. The machine was
stopped in time to prevent him from
being drawn into the crusher, which
would have meant instant death. His
arm was broken in two places. His
escape from death was a miraculous
one

RUBIN & CHERRY CARNIVAL

gagement in Paris has been changed

COUNTY RECEIVES NEW OFT.
SPREADER FOR ROADS

The new five-ton Mckinney oil
spreader recently purchased by the
county for use on the county pikes
was received Friday and unloaded
from the L. & N. siding at Second
street. The machine is one of the
best of its kind, and is capable of
spreading large quantities of oil in a
short time. 1t is so arranged that the
oil can be mixed with fine sand and
run through the machine at the same
time, thus insuring a compact firm,
surface, and helping to retain the oil
more closely on the surface of the
pike. The big machine slightly re-
sembles one of the new u. S. en-
gines in use on the L. & N.

evil disposed persons with the engine
and hose of Phoenix No. 6 all con-
spired to favor the spread of the fire
and hinder its being earlier subdued.
1t took long time, to remove carefully
placed distractions in the leading hose
of the Phoenix engine and put it in
working order, while had this machine
been available from the first it was
thought the fire would have been ar
rested before much progress had been
made.
There was a strong northwest wind
blowing, carrying cinders and pieces of
| various combustibles to a great dis
tanee. setting fire to the roofs of many
buildings on the south side of the
| brook. The Revere House. across FL
liot street, was in imminent danger for
q while. taking fire many times. and
most of the furniture was removed
from it, in expectation that it would
| be burned.
The buildings eon the east side of
Main street, opposite the fire, were in
| dangerous proximity to the flames
the street then being eight feet mar
| rover than now,-and were on fire sew
eral times. Most of the persons doing
! business in these buildings either re-
| moved their goods wholly or in part
or got them in readiness to remove, if
| found necessary.

The Brattleboro House and the block
south, comprising the site of the pres.
ent Crosby block, were then owned by
J. R. and G. B. Blake of Boston. The
buildings north of the hotel were owned
by DIR. Charles Chaplin. The losses were
then estimated at about $4,000, and

There was strong impression that
the fire was purp0sely set, and Sunday
