APRIL COURT DAY.

Not in many moons has there
been so disagreeable day as yes

snow flurries fell at intervals
throughout the day, helping to scat

the traders and farmers, who had
some to the city to dispose of their
surplus stock. There was large

geldings at good prices. The usual
court day sales of plug horses,
WORKOUT buggies and other gear

but the miserable weather served to
decrease the attendance, and the
sales were somewhat slow. Mer-
chants report a fairly good days

LARGE NUMBER OF AUTO ACCT.
DENTS LAST WEEK.

The past week. or the last part of
the past week, brought to the
knowledge OF newspaper men and
the prophet rs of garages a large
number of accidents in which
luckily, there was no loss of life,
but the participants sustaining IN
juries of a more or less severe ma
ture. And the strange part of it
all is the fact that in every in
stance the newspaper men were De-
seiged with piteous and in some
cases fearful requests to please sup
press about me being in an auto
accident the other night"
A Paris business man and a Bour-
bon county farmer collided in their
machines at the corner of Main and
Eleventh streets. The Paris mans
little daughter, who was with him,
was slightly injured by flying glass
from broken windshield. Both me-
chimes were damaged. Both said to
have been going at an illegal rate OF
speed.
A party of two young men and
three girls en- route to Lexington,
Friday night, ran into a stray horse
in the middle Of the Lexington pike.
near the McGinnis store. 1t was
said they were trying to avoid
striking the horse, but the newt
able happened. The horse was dam
aged, also the machine, Pitiful
entreaties brought machine from
a local garage to their rescue, the
damaged machine was brought back
to Paris, while the party proceeded
to Lexington via the interurbau
line.
A Bourbon county farmer and a
Paris young man came to grief Fri
day night at about the same spot as
the above, when their machine turn
ed over in the road three times,
throwing them out. The Paris lad
sustained bad cuts and bruises on
the arm, while his companion was
also badly bruised and shaken up.
Too much speed alleged to have been
the cause. Machine completely
ruined.
Two Paris. boys and a young girl
headed for Nicholasville met with
an accident between Lexington and
Nicholasvflle, in which their car
was damaged and the girl sustained
a broken arm. The machine crash
ed into a telephone pole. One of
the young men also received severe
cuts and bruises. They secured an
other machine and came back to
Paris, where their injuries were at
tended by local physicians.
A tender regard for the feelings
of a COW lying in the lying in the
middle of the Maysville pike, Satur-
day night, prompted Bourbon
county farmer, en- route home, to
take the side of the road. His ma
chine turned over, but luckily fell on
the soft side. No damage to either
the machine or driver.

PARIS CENSUS ANNOUNCED
GIVES US 6,310.

According to the figures announc-
ed by the Census Bureau at Wash
ington, Friday night, the city of
FaTis, KY, has population esti-
mated at 6,310, an increase of 451,
or III per cent. In 1890 Paris had
population of 4,418, in 1900 it was
4,s0S and in 1910, the preceding
census, it was given at $3.50. Now
cones 1920, ten years later, with a
report of $50. OF course, like a
number of other towns in the Blue
Grass, We are not satisfied, and
have an idea that there has been an
injustice done us in the figures.
The towns of Ruckerville and
Claysville, colored villages, are not
Included in the census, they being
excluded from the city limits by an
act of several years ago. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 1000 people
residing just outside the limits of
the city, who should by rights be
included in the the city, as they are
really citizens, with all their inter-
ests conferred here.
The new census seems to show in
on even greater degree than previ-
Gus ones that the drift of population
is toward the larger centers, rather
than toward the small communities
and the farm. Fifty years ago we
were an agricultural county, more
than half the people living on the
farms or in the small towns. To-
day nearly sixty per cent live in
the larger cities, leaving but forty
PEI cent. for the rural population.
There seems to be a craze to make
the towns bigger, to get more peo-
pie, so that the census report will
look better. We believe the emu
merators did their work conscien-
tiously, but we also believe that
Paris should show a larger popula-
iion.
