FIRST NATIONAL
HAS fine REPORT

This week The First National Bank
of this city submitted, upon federal
call, statement of it's condition as of
September 9Th.
The detailed report is published in
the advertising columns of this paper.
1t will be noted especially that the
loans and discounts show more than
half million dollara, an increase of
practically an hundred thousand dol
lars or 20 percent in this item over
the same day a year ago,
The deposits show total Of $685.
02824 as against $543,594.20 same
day last year. In fact the total re-
sources of $716,938.24 exceed the pre-
vious year by $90,546,29. There
is an increase of $7,312.25 or II per
cent in the surplus and undivided
profits fund.
The statement indicates efficient
conduct of the affairs and the ag-
gressivenesls of the bank, is an index
to the prosperity of the county, and
tends to set awry the song heard
that "the people haven't got any
money now"

STORY HOUR BEGINS AT
LEE SCHOOL ON SATURDAY.;
SEASON TICKETS A DOLLAR

Story hour at Lee School beginning
Saturday morning September rs will
be held every Saturday morning from
ten to eleven o'clock for twelve Sat-
urdays or until Christmas. Lee
School teachers will tell fairy stories
folk tales, and all manner of inter-
esting and instructive stories.
The admission each Saturday
morning will be ten cents, but sea-
son ticket for twelve Saturdays can
be bought for one dollar, The funds
go to pay for the stereoptican bought
by Lee School last year, and which
has proved a great help to teachers
in much of their work. 1t appears
that the parents should coperate with
the teachers in this on their part, un-
selfish undertaking. Doubtless many
busy housewives, who find Saturday
the busiest week day will take ad'
vantage of the proposed story hour
Certainly the kiddies will wish tc
attend.

FINAL REPORT OF
TRUSTEE JACKSON

d l. Jackson who for two terms
successfully held the office Of county
trustee, not being a candidate for a
third term, and who has just turned
his chair over to A A Grubbs, the
new incumbent, has submitted his fl
nal report. 1t covers the year end
ed August 31st, 1920. ...
Mr. Jackson, through the columns
of The Partisan, desires to thank the
people and tax payers of Henry
County for their many kindneEses
and efforts in his behalf during his
terms of office and is not unmindful
of the fact that at times it was hard
for the holders of warrants to bear
with him until the accumulation of
funds to take care of same, although
of course Mr. jackson realized the
people did not hold him at fault, but
their uniform courtesy and patience
in connection with +hese items is
gratifying to him. Mr. Jackson truly
endeavored to serve the reople of the
county to the best interests of all the
people, and he fully appreciates their
support which enabled hirn to pursue
this policy.

SELECT DAY FOR
BIG CATTLE SALE
Stocker and Feeder Cattle Will Be
Sold Co-Operatively By Coun-
ty Agent October 9th.

Indications at present are looking
good for successful stocker and
feeder sale of cattle Saturday, Octo-
Der 9th. Parties who are interested
in buying are already asking ques-
tions and getting information about
the sale.
For the information of the man
who has stocker and feeder cattle for
sale it might be well TO say that the
sale will be conducted in about the
same way as the feeder pig sale and
various other sales that have been
held for the benefit of the farmer
Each drove of cattle will be weighed
as they are brought in. They will
then be graded and penned with cat
tie of the same grade. The cattle
will be offered either in srnaN lots
or in car lots to any party who might
be interested in buying. We will be
guided in the sales by the market
price and where the price offered
here is not equal to the market price
the cattle will be shipped to market,
1t is generally believed though that
the cattle will be sold for as much
here as they would on the market.
Farmers who intend to consign to this
sale should call the County Agent and
give the kind and number of head he
intends to consign.
This sale is being thoroughly adj
vertised in five sta e1.. A letter has
been sent every county agent in the
above mentioned states. Wherever
the names of the feeders can be had
a lette. is being sent them. In ad-
dition to this news article will be
prepared and mailed to all of the
county papers over the country.
With this kind of advertising we
should be able to get "ood buyers.
An effort is being made to get out
load of feeder pigs Saturday Sept,
25th. A standing offer of $3.50
for pigs of 80 and down, and of
$3.50 for pigs from 80 to 100
has already been made. This offer
might be bettered. This sale is be-
ing made to accommodate the man
who feels that he must sell his pigs.
Our feed crop is good and we should
be slow about selling. Call the
County Agent If you have pigs to
sell,

FAIR A SUCCESS;
CENTENNIAL NEXT

Successful in every detail, Henry
County's big 1920 fair closed In a
blaze of glory. Fair directors were
more than delighted with the four
days e;ults. While it cost more
than ever to stage the fair this year,
receipts were proportionately great
er, and the fair will also be finan-
cial success, which demonstrates that
good managers have had charge of
the details. As a result the associa-
tion will have approximately $2500
surplus in the treasury.
Fair premiums will be promptly
paid. Statistics on all premium:
have not been so far made available
but they were unquestionably award
ed in a fair and square manner. 1t
is the intention next fair, to engage
experts to Judge exhibits, Especially
will this effort be made in the floral
hall.
The signal success Of the fair this
year will create aspirations for q
still larger one next year. As 1921
will be the centenary of Henry coun
ty, it is suggested that the fair next
year be a centennial celebration. AL
organizations of the county SHOULD
cooperate in making it a celebration
of note, one to live in song and story

PAREIANS SELECT
FALL MODE BONNETS
Beautiful Showing Here OF New Fall
STYLES in Millinery Attract Hun
dreds Opening Day.

Paris maids and matrons picked
their autumn bonnets at the beautiful
showing of fall modes at the milli-
merry openings here Wednesday. Judg-
ing from the throngs of interested
ladies who crowded the hat stores
forenoon and afternoon on yesterday
the choosing of the all important hat
is of some consequence in Paris. AT
Hensler's, Mrs F A Orrs, The Vogue,
and at Howard & Jobe, fashionable
hats featuring the seasons latest
shapes, colors and trimmings, were
attractively displayed for mi-lady's
selection. Show windows were made
festive with new hangings, and flow
es, and especially pretty pattern
hats.
In the autumn modes which Parl2
milliners are offering for the pur-
chaser's choice is pleasing versatility
of style. A few fa:hion notes stand
predominant, however. Feathers
from every known bird and fowl, ev.
en- the hair of the horse and the
whiskers of the elephant are curled
and made to resemble aifgrettes, etc
An attractive model at Hensler's od
copper velvet is trimmed in beau.
tiful pheasant feather. Ostrich is
popular again this season. The
dropping plumage rs preferred to the
more erect angles. Ribbons are
used on the hats in various widths
and are much favored, although lit.
tie silk or velvet fruits appear on
many hats.
Wells are an important addition to
many of the autumn chapeaux. A
pattern in The Vogue window OF
dark blue panne velvet, with dou.
BILE brim, trimmed in small silk
flower, had an attached veil finished
with a becoming silk collar.
All black hats are smart and are
shown in large or small shapes. A
lage black velvet model, exploiting
side width, and simply trimmed, wa!
pretty Howard & Jobe display. One
of the prettiest opening hats at Mrs
IF A Orr's was large reindeer duv
etyn shape, slashed brim and effec
lively trimmed in ribbon and golc
embroidery.
The millinerg will continue to have
in attractive showings daily, and the
openings are only the first taste cd
the many pretty things they will show

CRAZED MAN JUMPS
OFF TRAIN; CAUGHT
Gets Away From Deputy From Asy-
lum and Wends Way Back To
His Country Home,

viii Tompkins, whose home is in
the tir1t district q few miles west
of town, and who has been adjudged
of unsound mind and has previously
been ait two stated times in the asy-
lum for the insane at Bolivar, jump
ed the train going at thirty five
miles per, near Mansfield Monday
morning and wended his way to the
vicinity of his home where he was
again apprehended by Sheriff Story
and lodged in Jail in Paris Monday
night. In custody Of an attendant
from the asylum, Tornpkins was again
returned for the third time to that
institution on Tuesday morning.
Tompkins was SEM home several
weeks ago from Bolivar, but in only
short while began to threaten and
terrify his family and generally dis
pay hi distracted mental tenden-
cies. An attempt to kill his wife and
brutal threats of violence to her and
his children were responsible for his
being again started to Bolivar Mon
day in care of an attendant from the
;ylum Word of his jumping the
train and escaping near Mansfield
reaching here, Sheriff Story, Consta-
ble Butler and Deputy Ezell feeling
that he would endeavor to return
home, went there to meet him. After
some hours of fruitless waiting, But
Ter and Ezell returned to Paris, but
the newly installed sheriff "stayed on
the job" and landed his prisoner late
Tuesday night, bringing him to the
Paris 'hostelry" for safe keeping.
Tompkins seems good on escapes
as he once escaped from the asylum
and returned home, only to be fol
lowed and apprehended.
