Thompson street, is to be of pure
white stucco, and consequently will
present a clean and sanitary aspect

plain design; will have an attractive
sun porch and convalescents ward in

ting rooms and patients rooms, which
will be numerous enough to amply
supply the local demand.

to start Immediately. The equip
ment, INCLUDING an excellent X-ray
machine, which photographs, writes

Advertisers, What
Do You Obtain for

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 ac-
count.
There has been an evolution in
the advertising field. Advert.s-
ers have discovered the value of
publicity intelligently applied.
Newspaper publishers have dis
covereds that they must do some
thing to make advertising pay the
advertiser.
The spirit of the publisher of
The Persian is cooperation" but
advertising accounts are not "tra-
ded out" Thus. advertising in
The Psrisian is bona-6de. The
merchants advertise in The Paris

Of the Daper-not for the business
of the management of the paper
and its staff.
And advertisers can reach the
readers of The Partisan only thru

Too, when you buy advertising

John Arnett, Henry County Chair
man of the Salvation Army Home
Service Appeal organized a corps of

iting funds for the humane work of
the Salvation Army in this state. On
Wednesday, several business men,
under the leadership ct Bob Hum
ohreys canvassed the business section
of the town,
THE Girls Division, under the
leadership of Miss Alma Rhea Burch
organized at the Presbyterian church
on Wednesday afternoon, when a
number of the young society girls

Mrs Joel Porter was also present
and being an ardent advocate of Sal
walton Army helpfulness, will lend
her support to furthering the move
ment in Paris:
In speaking of the proposed appeal
Mr. Arnett said; II learned that every
city in the state has literally suppor-
ted the Salvation Army, and many
are going over their quota.
II feel sure that Paris will. do as
well as others have done. Owing to
the fact that it may be impossible for
solicitors to personally interview each
man and woman in the county let me
ask that everyone in the county who
has not been solicited by Thursday
night to please send liberal size check
to Mr. c g Hastings of the Bank of

TEACHERS OF HENRY
COUNTY in NORMAL
Twenty Eight From This County In
Memphis Normal Form Henry
County Teacher Club.

With an enrolment of over 600,
twenty-eight of whom are from Hen
ry County, the West Tennessee State
Normal at Memphis opened it's 1920
summer session June 7. Seven
states are represented in the attend
ance-Arizona, Arkansas Illinois,
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri,
besides the Il counties of West Ten
nessee, and 8 counties of Middle and
East Tennessee.
On June Is, students from the
different counties met and organized
County Clubs, the purpose of which
is to add socially to the njoyment
of their stay in Memphis. Miss Es-
ther Clark, popular and efficient
county teacher was made president
of the Henry County Club, Miss Mary
Penick, vice president; Miss Merle
French, secretary. Other members
include the entire coterie of Henry
Countians at the Normal: Misses
Carrie Clark, Marjorie Veltman, Ma
rion Ray, Lizzie Will Edwards, Willie
Mitchell Peoples, Bedie Wilson, Fran
ces Walters, Lula Paschall, Annie
Byars, Delight Cochran, Emily Me
Laurin, Jane Johnson, Ina Butler,
Willie Wilson, Sarah Diggs, Sadie
Ray, Anna Moody, Nell Wimberly,
Hettie Gibson, Edith White, Sylvia
White, Mrs Will Morris, Mrs D G
Steele, Messrs John Lax and Thos
Browning. I B Gardner, purser at
the Normal, formerly of Paris, honors
the Henry County Club as member.
Mrs Will Morris serves popularity as
matron.
Picnics, trips to the Memphis
parks, theatre parties and other social
features are planned for the clubs
pleasure. The boat ride, with which
the Memphis Chamber of Commerce
will entertain the entire summer ses-
sion student body, is looked forward
to as quite an event. The students
enjoy the weekly picture shows, the
Friday evening socials, the twilight
story hours, the vesper services at the
Normal, and many Memphis attrac-
tions-the zoo, art gallery, parks,
etc.
The social amusements however,
are not interfering with arduous stu
dy hours, as many, in addition to
special teacher training work, are
'gorking fer degrees. Some few arc
specializing in Domestic Art, and
Commercial Courses. This several
weeks at the Normal will add to their
efficiency as Henry County teachers
this fall.

MUCH. TOBACCO
Is YET UNSOLD
Producers Still Hold 10000, 900
Pound; New Crop Planted In
Poor Condition.
(By w B Kennedy

The movement of loose tobacco
Continued free the early part of the
week, but during the last few days
it has dropped off very considerable.
Offerings on the loose floors as well
as through the chutes and on wagons
have kept up in moderate way, and
prices for the better grades have
shown some strength while the COM
mon and nondescript grades have
shown some weakness. Tobacco
out of condition is some easier. Es-
pecially is this the case in the COM
mon and medium grades of both leaf
and lugs. Quite a sprinkle of me-
dium and good leaf has sold both on
the wagons and loose floors at prices
ranging from % to 80 cents, but the
bulk of the sales continue to be of the
common grades and selling at prices
that have ruled for the past several
weeks. Buying in the country has
continued during the past week, but
it has not been as free Some of
the large buying interests have with
drawn from buying at the barn door,
while others have continued buying
at the ruling prices. Most dealers
are we'll supplied with took and evil
IDENTIFY they are trying to get their
stocks reduced before going further.
However if they do not re enter the
market it will have quite depressing
effect upon prices as there is still
something like 30,000,000 pounds of
unsold tobacco in the producers
hands.
Crop Conditions.
We estimate that SO percent of the
intended crop has been set, the great
er part Of which was gotten out in
poor condition, but farmers have been
able to work it out and no doubt
will be able to improve the condition.
Farmers are also preparing more land
and if We have season soon we may
expect the full intended planting. The
plants are generally plentiful but are
becoming overgroWn but good sea-
son anytime during the next week
will enable them to finish planting.
Farmers who have common crops that
are selling at low prices are less en-
couraged with planting than those
who had better crops and are receiv-
ing good prices, and no doubt a
great effort will be made to make a
better quality this season and less
quantity.

SUPPLY SHORTAGE
BY REHABILITATING
Lack OF Homes In Paris Can b.
Partially Taken Care Of By
Precedent Set.

AS an instance of what can be done
in the line of making old houses more
convenient and homelike, the frame
house on Caldwell avenue, purchased
recently by E B McGehee from H L
Bruce, and known as the old Scates
home, having formerly occupied the
corner lot of Caldwell and Washing
ton, is worthy example. Mr. Nc
Gehee before putting the house on
the market has completely rehabilita>
ted it throughout, and has not omitted
a detail of making it as desirable a
habitation as possible.
He has not attempted any impos-
sible "modernization, leaving the
heating, flooring, etc, those of the
old fashioned house, but an old fash
iened house in perfect order, even
unto the last door knob.
The horror about remodeling or
improving usually, is that either the
Improvements nut the rest of the
house "out of line" or that they are
not thoroughly done. One will have
painting done at this time, papering
at another, ETC., so that neither
shows up. The beauty about the
property in question is that every
thing about the place, has been put
in apple pie order. Every inch of
the house inside and out has been
repainted. All the rooms have been
freshly papered. The downstairs
woodwork is in mahogony and old
ivory, and four of tn. rooms opening
into one another are all papered in
the same Delft blue oatmeal paper.
The plumbing is the most modern
asset to this honey house. 1t has
been put into perfect working order.
The large, high ceiling rooms, the
solid black walnut staircase and man.
ties, would add to the pride of the
ownership.
Details Mr. McGehee has not omit.
ted in adding to the attraction of the
place include awnings over all the
exposed windows, screens to every
window and door, entire screening
of the latticed back porch, sun shade
on the front porch, new roof ant
cutters, flowers in window boxes, ev
en- vegetables planted in the mic,
4 little garden in the rear-everythinJ
ready for pleasant occupancy. Ant
all improvements were made at
total cost under $1,000. So mucl
spent on the majority of homes il
the town. The picture beggars de
scription. What a beautiful, pro
gressive place Paris would become
Many who can easily afford hom
improvements do not heed the dir
necessity and signal happiness t
their families these improvement
would bring. Mr. McGehee is on
who has established a precedent. Hi

PADUCAH TO GET
LION CLUB MEET
Big Delegation Passes Through Paris
Sunday Enroute to District
Meet In Nashville.

Several Paris business men were
at the N & G depot Sunday to greet
the members of the Paducah Lions
Club in their special Pullman enroute
to the district convention in Nash
vile, and according to word received
from the convention Paducah has
been selected for the meeting place
next year.
The Lions Club is strictly busi-
ness and civic organization of bust
ness men, banded together for the
betterment of civic affairs and for
better business generally. Much
pressure has been brought to bear
to have such club organized in Paris
inasmuch as the movement has been
kindly taken in Dyersburg and Union
City. Paris certainy is much in
need of such an organization and the
leading and progressive business men
could we'll afford to look into the
matter. According to Mr. Adolph
Bright of the Paducah club, that club
will be glad to give any help they
can to Paris in the formation and
completion of such a club here, and
will take material interest in doing
so. Mr. Bright, comforting with a
reporter from The Partisan Office
Sunday, even went on to say that he
would come here with one of his
members at their own expense to as
sist in the organization of club in
Paris.

Dees Brothers, contractors, on the
Middle Obion Drainage District, and
the final estimate turned over to the
board. The actual work of dredging

some $29, 900. The total project,
including the right of way, cost as
per the bond issue, $4,000. The
main ditch as contracted is but
miles in length and the total area
drained comprises more than $500
acres, thus adding practically this

RELIEF IN PARIS
Generous Paris Public Will Be Asked
To Contribute To Fund For

appeal for Jewish Belief, which under

Bryant, and Gus Flake will invade

and a delegation of eight or ten ladies
will canvass the town in interest of
the cause. In proclamation, Gov
Roberts has the following to say con
cerning this problem of humanity:
To the People Of Tennessee:
Now that peace is assured, the
veil has been lifted to reveal, in a
measure, the indescribable suffering
and privation of those peoples occu-
pying the territory lying in the path
way of contending armies. This
presents a picture so crushing in its
desolate misery that it challenges the
sympathy of the world.
Aged men, emaciated women, and
piteous little children-6,000,000 of
whom are Jews---are homeless, naked
and helpless dependents in the bread
line of the world Many have died,
and many are dying daily, of starva
tionS Europe can give nosaid and
nothing can save them except the
generosity of the prosperous Ameri-
can people.
Upon the same broad humanitarian
ground which prompts them to extend
relief to non-Jews as well as Jews,
the Jews of the State of Tennessee.
who have always responded most lib
orally to every worthy appeal, wheth
er local or national, and who arc
now seeking to succor the1e SUFFERING
peoples Of Europe, irrespective OF
race or religion, appeal with conf
dence to all citizens of all races and
creeds in this great state to aid them
in meeting this vast need in war
stricken Europe.
Therefore, |, A il Roberts, Cover
nor of the State of Tennessee, now
designate June 21 to June 2s, 1920,
as Jewish War Relief Days, and call
upon the people of this state to lend
an attentive ear to the cries of dis
