spent the rest of the time in re-
coupling the deeds of the days of 81,
and comparing the valor of those
days as compared to the heroism of
to-day's conflicts, as we'll as the for
mer methods of warfare with those
of the present day.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Suppose you had the misfortune to
lose roll of money containing about
$165 in Uncle Sans good new cur
rency? What would you do? Weep
and mourn, or advertise your loss in
THE NEWS? The latter course would
be the sensible one, and the only one
1t has so happened.
Last week one of the most promi-
nent young farmers in the county
lost a roll of money somewhere in
Paris, containing about $165. 1t so
happened that the day on which the
money was lost was the publication
day of THE NEWS. A one-inch ad-
vertisement was inserted telling of
the loss of the money and offering a
reward. The usual result happened

by a man who said he read the ad-
vertisement in THE NEWS, and who
restored the kale to the rightful

NOTED ORATOR ADDRESSES COL
ORED SCHOOL GRADUATES

The Paris Grand Opera House was
comfortably filled Tuesday night with
a crowd of patrons and friends of the
Western High School, the colored
auxiliary Of the local educational sys-
tenn. The graduating class of 10
was addressed by Roscoe Conklin
Simmons, one Of the foremost orators
of his race. His address was pro-
nounced to have been one of the most
eloquent and forcible ever heard de-
livered here by a member of the col
ored race. A large section of the
house was reserved for white people
who heard the speaker with every
manifestation of appreciation and
approval.

A few days ago, just how many
doesn't materially matter, one of the
prominent business men of Paris.
who is very much interested in the
progress of building he is erecting
some distance from Paris, concluded
to spend the day on the job. He sent
word to his son, who is also a very
busy young man, to have nice lunch
prepared and bring it out to him in
the family car.
Son got busy and carried out ia
theirs directions to the letter. Plac-
ing the carefully-prepared basket in
the rear of the car he threw the
clutch in high and was speeding
along the highway near Fifteenth
street, when he was hailed by two
young boys, who asked for a lift
along the road, as they were going
in his direction. The young man,
being of an accommodating DISPOSE
ton, complied with the request, and
slowed them away in the rear seat.
On sped the auto, until when within
a few yards of the Hesitation, the
driver turned around to ask his pas
sengers where they wanted to alight.
But only empty space greeted him
also an empty basket. His visitors
had helped themselves and tumbled
out of the car without even a word
of thanks. And father had to send
back to town to get his lunch again.
He says he will take the goods with
him next time. The boys have not
expressed their sentiments yet, but it
is likely they were greatly pleased

SOMNAMBULIST AROUSES NEIGH.
HOOD: RETURNS SAFELY
HOME.
SOmnambuliSm

SomnambuliSm, or "Sleep-walk-
ing" as it has been commonly term
ed, has always been accounted one of
the strange freaks of Nature visited
upon humanity. Numerous instan-
ces have happened in Paris, some
with ludicrous ending, others end
ing in near-tragedy, as in the case of
the little Clough boy, who was shot
by his father some time ago.
Last Monday night, Mrs. W.,
a well-known Paris woman, residing
on the Bethlehem pike, arose from
her sleep, and, while still under the
influence of the drowsy god, put on
her husbands overcoat, tied light
scarf around her head, left the house
and paid a call at the home of several
neighbors. At the first place she Wis
tied the man of the house, not pre-
ceiving the feminine shape concealed
under the overcoat and the flowing
scarf, was about to adopt harsh meas
midnight visitor, and kindly but
firmly started her homeward. All
this time the woman was profoundly
unaware Of her predicament.
Several other houses were visited
IN Turn, where she was kluOly sent
on her way back home. At one place
the somnambulist visited she rang
the door bell and when the house
holder appeared in response, she
asked for cup of water. Becoming
alarmed the man went to the tele-
phone and summoned officers, ex-
planning that there was a demented
woman at the door. Sheriff Will G.
McClintock responded and arriving
at the scene, recognized the sleep
walker and hurried her home. By
this time her husband arrived and
all was serene. When she was
awakened she was entirely ignorant
OF all that had occurred, and but for
the fact that she was still draped in
her husbands overcoat and had the
long flowing scarf wrapped around
her head and throat, she would have
been unable to dispute the assertion
that she had been walking in her
sleep"

STORM-BREEDING WEATHER

The high temperature of the past
few days seem to be breeders of
storms in this section, as in the past
week there have been no less than
three heavy storms. Farmers report
that the damage done by the storm
of Sunday was considerably heavier
than at first reported, and that many
crops have been almost washed I'D.
Following the other two visitants,
storm of wind, rain, some hail, with
electricity and thunder accompani-
ments, passed over Paris and parts of
the county late Tuesday afternoon,
doing considerable damage. The
storm was especially severe between
Paris and Lexington, and great
damage was done to gardens, tobacco
fields, corn, wheat and other growing
products. Telephone and telegraph
companies suffered from the effects
of the storm, many of their poles and
wires being blown down, and the SER
vice crippled for some length of time.
Several head of stock were killed by
according to reports com
ing to Paris by telephone.

THE COUNTRY PAPER AND THE
COUNTRY ADVERTISER

One of the most notable facts con-
nected with the country newspaper
of to-day is the large increase in the
amount of advertising of local bust
ness houses. The change has taken
place gradually during the past year
or so. 1t is highly significant and
an inquiry as to the cause Of it is of
great profit, not only to those in the
newspaper business, but to every cit.
izen of our town as well.
The change, in brief, means that
local merchants have found it nee
essary to call attention to their goods
because of the immense competition
they face, the most deadly element
of which is that from the large
stores of the large cities. These great
establishments advertise their wares
most lavishly and the metropolitan
newspapers which contain their adj
vertisements are distributed over the
country, some one paper Of which
enters into nearly every home. The
result is that these metropolitan es-
adjustments have built up an i'm
mense mail trade.
In our town, and, indeed, in most
of the towns hereabouts, there is no
occasion for this out-of-town buying.
The duty of citizens in the matter is
plain, and where other things are
equal, support should be given local
dealers. Our merchants have invest
ed their capital, have erected build
ings, which are the pride of the city,
and have established concerns, which
are almost metropolitan in character.
They have built UP our city, and it is
only a fair return that they have the
city's trade to turn trade 9TH
erwise, even in the line of little pur-
chases, which are great in the aggre-
gate, is to invite the decline of prop
erty values in our city.

98 ARRESTED WHEN
 HEADQUARTERS OF STRIKERS RAIDED
By Associated Prsss

Pittsburg December 5.-Ninety-eight men were arrested today at Donora, a steer town on the Monongahela river 30 miles from here, when troopers of the state police raided Lithuanian hall, head quarters of the striking steel workers of that district.
 The men were taken to jail, each one charged with conspiracy and intimidation to prevent men from working in the mills, and this afternoon they were ar raigned before Grover w. Boyd, jus tice of the peace. Each was held in $5O0 bail for a hearing next Thursday. Those who were unable to furnish bond, and they constituted the majority, were taken tonight to the county jail at Washington, Pa. All were foreigners, it was said at Donora borough hall, except seven.
 The raid was the continuation of a cam paign by the authorities to rid the com munity of men, who, they say, have been suspected of being implicated in bomb explowons that have made Do- nora one of the storm centers since the steel strike was called last Septem Der. It was carried out soon after another explosion had startled the town early today.
