THE DIFFERENCE NOW Ann
THEN.

To an Old-tinier the sight of the
large number Of automobiles parked
around the court house square and
on the various side streets Satur-
day recalled the time of the long
ago. when such thing as an auto
was unknown in or around Paris.
Then it was the custom to bring
cid Dobbin hitched up to the family
carryall and come to town, where
the family did their shopping and
left the outfit hitched to the old
iron railing around the court house
lawn or left him to his own
devices. The old railing was a con-
slant bone of contention between
the city and county, and many YER
bal conflicts were precipitated by
the demands that it be removed.
Now, our Bourbon county farmer
comes to the city in his five, six or
touring car, or just
an ordinary Ford, as the case may
be, and bitches the machine on the
court house square, while the fam
lily attend to their various personal
duties with the merchants of Paris.
Last Saturday the autos were so
numerous and parked so closely to-
gether that they barely had room
for the passage or traffic, vehicular
or otherwise. Verify, times have
changed about the old town, and
things are not what they used to
be, which is, of course, all very
we'll.

A GRANDPARENTS STORY
From S143 to a Competence in
Three Years.

It. j. Chamberlain tells story of his
efforts before moving to Canada in
1916 to make living. 1t was hard
work. He had so many ups and
downs" that he became dispirited be-
fore he learned of tire success of for
mer neighbors of his who were doing
well up in Canada. He sold his hold
ings for song, ami had sale of what
effects he had. When he Strengthened
up with his storekeeper and paid a
few debts he found that he had $l43
in cash. good constitution, a wife
and five children. He had saved some
few things from the sale. These he
put into car with the effects of
couple of others, who like him were
going to Canada. He went into the
Gem Colony in Alberta in 1916, bought
a piece Of land and commenced opera
lions. The money he placed in the
bank, and started one of his boys out
TO earn enough money TO supply the
table. The older boy used his wages
to break up the sod on the 100 acres.
But let Mr.. Chamberlain tell the rest
of the story, which he has signed over
his own signature. He says II rented
10 acres and hired it put into wheat,
thrashed % wagon loads for my share.
We lived in the granary two years.
'1The first of December, 1913, | laid

nine head of horses and mules, five
head of cattle. fifteen pieces of ma
