MEXICANS INVADE PARIS ON
PEACEFUL MISSION

Attired in the conventional Mex
lean costume, straw sombreros, felt
noots and Overcoats, and smoking
the regulation Mexican corn-shuck
cigarettes, thirty-one Mexicans ar
rived in this city Tuesday afternoon.
ON peaceful mission.
The men were in care of an in
terpreter. They had been imported
mere from Laredo, Texas, to work
as laborers on the Xalapa Farm of
Edward Simms, by the contracting
firm of Mason & Hanger, who have
& large amount of construction
work under way there. They were
recruited for the work through the
agency of an employment bureau in
Laredo. The party made the trip
from Laredo to Paris in charge of a
ranchman who had a good working
knowledge of Mexican, Spanish and
English. Most of the party carried
their wardrobe wrapped about them.
while others had their personal eff
feet wrapped in bundles.
Arriving here the men were plac-
ed in seven big trucks from the S.
Il. Hudnall Taxi Company, and
transported to the Xalapa Farm.
where they will be put to work on
the Mason & Hanger contracts.
They will probably remain there a
year. improvements being made on
the farm consist of big dam across
Stoner creek, to obtain a small lake
for the estate, a light, power and
ice plant, and erecting brick build
ings at various locations on the l.
200-acre farm.
While waiting for the trucks
Paris man who thinks he knows
something of Spanish, approached
the men. and saluted them with the
query: "BuenOs dias, senior. Como
esta Vd?" The man addressed star
ed at the questioner, and replied,
Say, Gully, 1 guess you're using de
wrong Kind CT CAB. Down where /
came from We speak Mexican, Text
con and American" He left then.

NCKLEN BUILDING TO BE RAJ
ED: HOTEL PROBABLE.

l.. Win the razing of the old Ficklen
oulldlng on Main street, in this city.
wnlch will begin next Monday, one
Cf the Oldest buildings, and q land
mark for years, will disappear from
the business section. The building
was condemned some time ago by
the Fire Marshal of the State, and
ordered torn down. A portion of
the rear end was torn out some
time ago. The work will proceed
with large force of workmen as
rapidly as the weather and circum-
stances will permit. 1t has oeen
rumored for some time that the
owner, Mr.. Edward Simms, will
erect a large modern hotel on the
site of the old structure, also that
the building would be converted
into business house, to be used by
the A. F. Wheeler Furniture Co.,
who occupy the adjoining building.
At any rate, new modern house
Will replace the old landmark.
The history of the old building
dates back to 1896, when Paris was
mere village, and was used for a
time as a place of entertainment,
as evidenced by publication in an
old Western Citizen of that time. In
the opinion of many it was erected
at an earlier date. For many years
it was the home of the late William
Flcklen, one of the characters of
Paris in his day, and as such was an
"Old Curiosity Shop" in many re-
spects, being filled with many old
relics and articles of the long ago,
which Mr.. Ficklen kept about him
as souvenirs
Most of the material to be taken
from the old building will be used
by Mr.. Simms in the construction
of small buildings on his Xalapa
Farm, near Paris. The old stone
floors in the place will be used in
the construction of fencing, while
the woodwork will also be utilized.
While no word has come from Mr.
Simms as to what kind of building
will be erected on the site, the peo-
pie of Paris are in hopes that the
hotel proposition will be the one
finally decided on, as it would give
the city modern, up-to-date
hostelry, something badly needed
here.

G. o. P. AGAINST REDUCTION OF
STATE TAX RATE.

House Democrats put the Repub-
bcan majority squarely on record as
opposed to reducing the State tax
rate Tuesday afternoon and took ad
vantage OF the occasion they had
made to drive home the point with
a quotation from the Republican
State platform.
The occasion was created by a
minority report in favor of giving
its first reading to the Thompson
bill TO reduce the tax rate on real
estate from 40 to 20 cents, on which
the majority of the Committee on
Revenue and Taxation acted unfa-
vorably. Representative ]. H.
Thompson, of Bourbon, it's author,
and Representatives Swope, Hum
phrey, Harding and Wheeler are
members of the committee and
made it necessary to report it,
instead of allowing it to die in COM
mittee.
Thompson moved to substitute
'he minority for the majority opiu-
ion and delivered a 45-minute speech
in favor of his motion.
The minority report was voted
down As TO 35, with much explain
ing of votes. Representative Law
renee, Republican, voted for it, de-
claring that Republican speakers
during the campaign had promised
it.
Another Thompson bill to assess
Intangible property 80 cents and
bank deposits 10 cents for local
school purposes, was killed on the
majority report of the same COM
mittee, but no roll call was de-
manded.

THE HOSPITAL FUND

The $4,000 campaign for the
Massie Memorial Hospital is pro-
gresing nicely, with the total now
approaching $4,000 The balance
will be raised in a short time, in the
opinion of those in charge, who say
they are now more determined than
ever to put the campaign over to the
limit, and perhaps more.
There will be a meeting to-mor-
row night at 1880 O'Clock in the
Peoples-Deposit Bank of the cam
paign managers and the soliciting
committee, when reports of progress
made will be heard and the workers
given additional instructions. All
solicitors who will be unable to at
tend this meeting are requested to
report to Jos. w. Davis.
In spite of the many campaigns
and drives which the Bourbon
county people have been called upon
to contribute to the response to
this campaign has been very gener-
Gus. The people feel they are help
ing a home institution, one that
has been of vast benefit to Paris.
If you have not made your sub
scription to the fund, see one of the
solicitors and get on the honor
rolf at once.
Four new nurses have been ad-
ded to the staff at the Hospital.
Two more arrived Wednesday, and
the institution is now prepared to
take care of new cases up to the ca
pacity limit. Miss Graves, profess
sional nurse, is in temporary charge
of the hospital, during the absence
of Miss Stephenson, superintendent,
who is in Caswell, Va, where her
sister is critically i'll of pneumonia.

DEATH INCORRECTLY RE-

pers of Paris, as we'll as the daily
papers of last week, published an
item noting the death of twelve
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
Jos. A. Smith, of near Paris. Later
developments disclosed the fact that
her death, like that of Mark Twain,
was ~geatly exaggerated" The
child was reported seriously i'll,

brothers from Influenza, but rallied,

A DESPERATE SITUATION.

The Daily Register is unable to
print more than four pages to-day
Tor the simple reason that it cannot
obtain or SPACE paper rolls. 1t
may be able to print eight pages to-
morrow by printing two four-page
sections. The paper situation was
never so desperate for the small
country papers as to-day. Through
the kindness of the Winchester Sun,
which had fairly good supply on
hand, the Daily Register has been
able for the past two weeks to print
the larger sized paper. The Win
chester paper let us have two rolls
and that helped a lot.
Our Cincinnati paper supply
house writes that it does not know
when it will be able to get any Of
the larger sized rolls. And it says
further that prices are advancing
every day, and it will not be sur
prised to see news paper sell at IL
cents pound very soon. Few
country papers can pay such prices
and live at present subscription
and advertising rates. Revenue
will have to be tremendously in
HlNdSCu " liIOCI lIlc IL.
Just about one year ago we
bought paper at four cents a pound
and before the war, the usual
price was about 2 II cents a pound.
1t takes about 800 pounds of paper
for the Daily Register to print six
page paper one issue. That means
at 10 cents a pound, the last price
paid, a cost for white paper alone of
$50 a day, or about $3.50 a month.
We're not complaining, but feel
that our loyal readers should know
the situation that we and every
country newspaper are facing. We're
wiring every day all over the coun-
try to mills and dealers, trying to
find some paper. Let's hope we can
find it and at a price that will let
the Daily Register live at present
rates-Richmond Register.
