ING FOR FALL EXHIBITIONS

Mr.. Allie G.. Jones, of North Mid
dletOwn, is preparing a good stable Of
saddle horses, made up principally Of
youngsters, which will be shown at
the most prominent fairs in this sec
ton this fall. The oldest and best
known member of his stable is the
six-year-old chestnut mare, Lady
Beautiful, owned by Burton B. Cas-
ties, of New York. She is said to be
one of the finest and best saddle
mares that has appeared this season.
She is closely related to the celebrat-
ed Hazel Dawn.
Another Bourbon county man who
will likely get in to the show horse
game again this season is Capt. VIM.

a very fine sucking colt by Admiral

bon King. This colt is closely in

PATROLMAN JUDY CATCHES COL
ORED SNEAK THIEF.

It's getting to be a hard matter for
Offenders against the laws to get
away from the Paris police. This
fact is now brought wildly to the
attention of Gilbert Huffman. color
ed, who some time ago, made away
with the sum of $50 belonging to
Logan Ayers, also colored.
Huffman had been engaged as a
bushelman by Ayers, who conducts a
clothes cleaning establishment in the
second story of the building occu-
pied as a barber shop by his father.
John Ayers. Logan Ayers went
went home one night, carelessly leav-
ing the sum of $50 in currency in a
pocket of the trousers he had Just
changed. When he returned in a
hurry to get the money it had disap-
peared. So had Huffman. Patrolman
Judy was detailed on the case and To-
Gated Huffman in the vicinity of the
Tenth street passenger station of the
Louisville & Nashville. Huffman had
bought ticket for Cincinnati and
was waiting for the train. Seeing
Patrolman Judy he made dash for
liberty, making good his escape
through a cornfield.
Yesterday Patrolman Judy receiv-
ed tip that Huffman had returned
to Paris. Going to the Huffman
home he asked for the boy. Being
told that he was not in the house,
the officer determined to see for him
self. Sounds in the attic of the house
led him in that direction. Suspecting
that his man had taken refuge there
he called for him to come down.
There being no response, Patrolman
Judy fired a shot through the ceiling,
which had the effect of bringing
Huffman down in a hurry. He con-
fessed to taking the money, and was
taken to the county Jail to await his
trial.

HOME GROWN MELONS COMING
TO MARKET.

Two of the most toothsome OF
earth's products, homegrown water
melons and canteloupes,. are making
their welcome appearance on the
market in large quantities. Two
large automobile trucks loaded with
freshly-plucked, juicy canteloupes,
were sold out in a short time on the
court house square Saturday at prices
ranging from 10 cents up to so cents
for choice. Watermelons. rich, red and
ripe, have been selling for fifty cents
to seventy-five cents each, crowding
out of the market their imported
competitors, which have been retail
ing at one dollar and $50 each for
some time. The demand for the
homegrown melons far exceeds the
present supply. ~

GOVERNMENT FORCING FOOD
PRICES DOWNWARD.

The campaign being waged by the
Federal government to lower the
cost Of living is most energetic one,
and one that is likely to secure last
ing and startling results. The people
of each community will help the gov.
eminent if material aid is to be ex-
pected.
The newspapers tell Of the convic-
ton of a grocer in the East with a
fine of $500 for selling sugar at fif-
teen cents a pound. If the people in
that town fail to look sharp the con-
victed grocer will get it back along
some other line. The publication of
prices will do much to
focus attention upon the profits of
the retailers. The government in
tends to use a license system for
wholesalers, limiting the profit per
unit If the citizens generally will
remain alert, report boarding and
note the prices they are charged,
much can be accomplished.
There has been little or no prof.
teering here, as far as THE NEWS
has been able to ascertain, but it
will be we'll for our people to be on
the lookout and ready to report any
instance of such, so that the matter
may be reported to the proper au-
thorities.

H. C. OF L.

the proud possessor of hen which
she declares is doing her utmost to
reduce the high cost of living. Mrs.

The bird, was of the Plymouth Rock
