INTERESTING OIL NOTES
- >><>>>>><>>>A 80

The regular annual meeting OF
stockholders Of the Greater Ken
lucky Petroleum Co., will be held In
the Office Of Hinton, Bradley & Brad
ley, in the Bourbon Agricultural
Bank building, to-day (Friday) at
ten O'Clock, a. m. One of the prin-
cipal objects of the meeting will be
the election Of officers. The call for
the meeting is issued by Secretary
John M. Stuart.
John M. Stuart, of this city. one
of the live wires in oil company
promotions, expresses the belief that
oil stocks will, soon after the New
Year, begin recovering from the re-
cent slump, and by March 1, prac-
tically all of the oil securities which
have substantial properties behind
them will be worth more than they
ever were. This opinion is shared
in large degree by other promoters
who have offices in this city, and by
a large number of stockholders, who
are at least willing to be shown a
little prosperity.

m. The schools have many inter.
ests planned for the year. The chill

hand to increase their pleasure.
The basketball games will grow in
intensity and interest each week.
Plans will be made for the girls bas-
ketball tournament for March IL
and Is, which will again meet in
Paris, and which, we hope, will put
another silver cup in our trophy
case.
Perhaps one of the most signifi-
cant educational meetings that will
be held in Kentucky this year will
meet. in Paris on March 26., This
will be meeting of the latin and
Greek teachers of Kentucky, to Or
ganize a Kentucky Classical Associ-
alton. This will include both col
lege and High School teachers. We
hope to have this Association affili-
ated later with the Classical Associa-
ton Of the Middle West and South.
Examination week is always an
interesting week. This year it will
be the week beginning Monday,
January 10.
The second semester begins Mon
day, January rs. At this time a
number Of new students will enter
the High School. Preparations are
being made to start a new section of
the Freshman class on Manday,
January 26, for the benefit of am
bilious students who are capable Of
doing their High School work in
three and one-half years.
Monday, January rs, is good
time for children to enter the grades
In the City School, and a large num-
her Of country children will enter at
that time.
We trust that all teachers and pu-
pills have had pleasant vacation
and will be ready Monday for hard
work. We trust that this will be a
very Happy New Year for every
American school child. Begin the
New Year with high purpose and
live for it's fullfllment.

PROMINENT BOURBON FARMER
TARGET FOR SUITS

Following the disappearance from
his home in this county and his ac-
customed haunts in this city of H.
B. Pence, a prominent farmer and
tobacco grower of the North Mid
dletown vicinity, suits aggregating
$4,000 or more, have been filed
against him in the office Of Circuit
Clerk VIM. H. Webb. In the petit
tions accompanying the suits it is
claimed that Pence has left the
county to avoid service, and has con-
cealed himself so that summons may
not be served on him. When last
heard from he was reported to be in
ST. Louis, Mo.
Shortly after Pence was reported
missing it was claimed that a letter
had been received here from him,
stating that he intended to commit
suicide. Rumor connected his dis
appearance and name with that of a
young woman of this city, but these
rumors proved unfounded, as the
woman In question was known to
have been in Paris all the time An
other rumor was to the effect that
Pence and companion had become in
volved in an alteration at a road
house near Louisville, in which
Pence had shot and killed the wo-
man and then killed himself. These
rumors when traced down, proved
to have been unfounded in fact. The
news came later to Mrs. Pence. who
Immediately went to Louisville for
the purpose of instituting search.
Before her arrival, Pence, it was
alleged. had left Louisville, and was
not heard Of again until the news
came that he was in st. Louis.
Pence bore a good reputation in
business circles, being associated
with some of the prominent stock
men Of the county as buyer and the
news of his disappearance came as a
shock to those who knew him. He
has a large number Of warm friends
here and in the county. who hope
that the mystery of his disappear
ance and the termination of his
financial difficulties may come at
the same time. Pence's wife and
child reside near North Middle
town.

q. G. OF L. CONFESSION REPORTS
ON SUGAR.

The High Cost of Living Commits
sion is still receiving a great many
complaints about the high price Of
sugar. The price Of sugar in the
city Of Louisville ranges all the way
from lie to CSC per pound. The
dealers who sell the high price SUI
gar claim that the wholesaler cannot
or will not furnish Eastern sugar
and that they are charging from 18c
to zoe per pound wholesale, for the
Louisiana sugar. We cannot un-
derstand why they cannot get East
Fern sugar at Eastern prices in this
district. A great many of the COM
plainants seem to feel that there is
a Justification somewhere and that
the scarcity of sugar as heretofore
suggested so artificalIy was for the
purpose Of selling the high price
sugar in this market, therefore the
Commission has started an investi-
cation which will reach from Louis
Vile to Washington and will report
the result to the people of Louisville
through the press as it develops. We
note an erroneous statement has
been circulated with reference to
the Sugar Board. The Sugar Board
still has jurisdiction over sugar and
sugar prices and we are going to re-
quest that said board take up the
Louisville situation and use our best
endeavors to get Eastern sugar into
this market If the wholesaler can be
induced to handle it. We do not
believe that it is impossible to get
Eastern sugar that can be sold at
the usual sugar profit, for 12c a
pound, therefore we are in hopes Of
being able to fix a price at not more
than 12c within the near future.
It is only fair to state that the
retailers, we find from our investiga-
ton, are not always profiteering in
sugar and other staples, but are
obliged to pay, in many cases. these
exorbitant prices to the jObber, and
that the jobber in some instances in
turn are not profiteering, but like
wise have to pay exorbitaEt prices
to the producer making 1t necessary
that the correction of the present
condition will have to. take place at
the source Of production, making it
exceedingly difficult for this Com
mission as they are most always
outside of our jurisdiction. but
ing or where prices are charged or
based on replacement basis instead
of the actual cost, the District At
torneys will begin prosecutions.

After shutdown Of a week for
the Christmas holidays, and in order
to give the money-laden tobacco
men chance to spend some of their
money, the Paris tobacco markets
reopened Monday. with full floors
OF the weed at all the warehouses.
At the Paris House OF the Bourbon
Tobacco Warehouse Co., the sale oc-
cupied the entire day. with the sale
blocked at their warehouse No. 3.
The block sale was completed with a
total Of 3S8,695 pounds of tobacco
disposed of for a money value Of
$197,888.19, an average of $50.91.
The market was not as strong as
it had been on some grades. How
ever, taking into consideration the
quality of the offerings and compar-
ing the averages of this sale with
those before the holidays the decline
is not such as was reported from
other markets, in the judgment of
well-posted warehousemen, not more
than three dollars per hundred. Good
colory tobacco suffered no decline, a
number of baskets in the Monday
sale going for $101.
The market was stronger at the
Tuesday sale on good tobacco, and
weak on the low grades. A large
crowd was present at the OPEN
ing of the sales and the interest in
the market was fully as active as it
was during the sales held in the
previous weeks. The American To-
bacco Company's representative was
not on the market in the afternoon,
but the competition was spirited and
the bidding lively throughout.
Prichard & Gray sold a crop of s.
COO pounds for $4,545, an average
of $1,000. Good prices were obtain
ed for the crops sold at this sale by
J. M. Alverson, of Bourbon county,
and by r. B. and M. n. Carmichael,
of Clark county. Receipts Of tobac-
co for the day were heavy, and the
quality good.
The Independent Tobacco Ware
house Company sold Wednesday at
their house No. 1, a total of 1926
pounds of tobacco for $8S,206.47. a
floor average Of $500. The market
was steady on good colory types.

MISSED HIS CALLING

Mr. Walters made the statement,
and emphasized it as strongly as pos
sible that it was a well known fact
that editors as class were pastmas-
ters in the art Of using the facts to
conceal the truth. That he proceeded
for an hour or more to demonstrate
his own skill and ability along that
line to such remarkable degree that
everyone in the audience instinctively
felt that the world lost one of its
greatest editors when Mr. Walters de-
cided to enter law. However person.
ally Mr.. Walters. as lawyer has
considerable advantage in exercising
the art over being an editor. AS
lawyer, on the platform, he can
juggle facts and figures to his hearts
content and II called to task for any
statement he can claim he was mis-
quoted or can even deny having ever
made the statement Probably no two
persons in his audience could go upon
the witness stand and under oath both
swear to the same thing as to his
statements. But as an editor when
he puts his statements down in cold
type and places them on paper in
black and white he confronts himself
with an unlmpeachable witness whose
testimony can not be denied or side
stepped, a witness that can not be
called liar or n perverter OF facts or
charged with misrepresentation SO,
coupled with his charge against the
integrity OF the press and the skill
and ability he displayed along the
same line. II arouses spirit OF
fellowship between Mr.. Walters and
the editorial fraternity that prompts
every editor to wish to grasp his hand
and say shake. ALMOST BRO |
