ARMENIAN GENERAL
TO BE HEARD HERE
Will Speak AT Dixie Theatre on Next
Saturday Night in Interest of
Relief for Armenians.

A systematic appeal for the Ar.
menians, who were cruelty deported
by the Turks, will be made in Henry
county under the direction of Rev
W. W. Astles, who has just been ap-
pointed chairman. He will be as
sisted by a strong executive commit
tee which is composed of the leading
business men of Paris, including
Richard Dunlap, Col. F. M. Van
Cleave, Amos Rhodes, Charles Ire
vathan, DR.. R. A. Fox, and Charles
Williams. Rev. j. E. Reynolds,
pastor of the Christian church will
be treasurer.
These gentlemen have arranged to
bring to Paris flying squadron,
headed by General M. N. Azgapetain,
of the Armenian army, and number
of other speakers. General Aga
petain will speak at the Dixie theatre
Saturday night, and at the Presbyter
rian and Christian churches for "a
brief time Sunday night. They will
follow this up with an organized ap-
peal for funds with which to help
sustain the starving orphans until
the next harvest.
Condition of Armenian orphans is
well illustrated by a message re-
ceived recently from DR.. Henry
Riggs, who is in charge of the Near
East Relief orphanEge at Harpoot,
Armenia.
Seven stragglers applied at his
place for food and shelter. Already
he was caring for four thousand little
ones, but by looking around care.
fully, he found that he could take
in one more-but only one Room,
clothing and food would not permit.
"Take in this one," the six most
stalwart ones told him, and they
trudged away to the desert where
they knew they would starve. The
seventh one struggled into warm
bed and had warm good food served
to it.
The American people are called
upon to save from starvation $4,000
of the children unable to work, and
the older ones who also are helpless.
These people have no other source
from which they may be fed and
clothed. Therefore unless Ameri-
can people, with the aid of Henry
county, contribute literally, the old
est Christian people will be externi-
mated, and the Turkish faith will have
triumphed.
81 want the aid and cooperation of
every person in Henry county," says
chairman Astles4 "Henry county
must not fail, although the people
frequently have been called upon,
they cannot fail to give aid to these
people who are down and almost out
1t would be reproach upon our re-
ligion."
An organized appeal will be made
very soon throughout Paris and all
of Henry county.

COUNTRY PRESS
FACE EXTINCTION
Scarcity and High Cost For News
Printing Paper Jeopardizes
Country Publications,

Washington, May 8.--The picture
of the country press, which includes
the little four-page paper fro. "back
home" fighting with it's back to the
wall and almost ready to go under
because Of the print paper shortage,
has been presented to q Senate In
vestigating Committee.
Along with the picture of the
troubles of the country editor the
direct charge was made that the print
paper market has been cornered and
that the print paper interests had
conspired to regulate production so
that prices might continue to mount.
In the face of this situation it was
declared there was little hope for the
small town papers and that unless
quick relief was provided half of
them would be wiped out of exis-
tence.

ADVERTISERS
WHAT DO YOU
OBTAIN FOR YOUR
INVESTMENT?

Time was when the county seat
weekly newspapers were patron
lied by business men because of
the papers necessity to the COM
munity and the fact that the pub
Usher would "trade out" the &C
count.
There has been an evolution in
the advertising field. Advertis-
ers have discovered the value of
publicity intelligently applied.
Newspaper publishers have dis
covered that they must do some
thing to make advertising pay the
advertiser
The spirit of the publisher of
Fhe Parisiap is Cooperation" but
advertising accounts are not ''tra-
ded-out". Thus, advertising in
The Partisan is bona-fide. The
merchants advertise in The Paris
ian for the business of the readers
of the paper--not for the business
of the management of the paper
and it's staff.
And advertisers can reach the
readers of The Parisian only thru
the advertising columns of The
Partisan.
Too, when you buy advertising
space in The Partisan, you may
know that you are reaching high
grade clientage having buying a.
bility-a clientage of quality as
well as quantity.
Think it over!

1900 INVITATIONS BEING
SENT BY GROVE STUDENTS

The 1900 Commencement invita-
tions which the Senior class of Grove
School are this week melting to their
friends and relatives, md which came
from The Partisan Office, are beau
tifully engraved and embossed, of a
neat and extremely new design, and
best of all, arrived on scheduled time.
Moreover, they were bought at a
reasonable price, which is certainly
pleasing to parental pocket books,
that are so drained during graduation
days.
The selected design met the en-
thusiastic approval of forty olt of
the class of forty two.
