EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS in
PARIS CEMETERY

In accordance with plans deter
mined on at recent meeting of the
Board of Directors Of the Paris Gem
etery extensive improvements and
changes will .socn be under way in
the grounds and buildings.
All the driveways are being resur-
faced with permanent material. A
large plot of ground adjacent to the
cemetery is being subdivided into
lots and added to the cemetery
entrance to the grounds will be
closed and fenced in. This has long
been a contemplated move and will
do away with a source of danger on
account of the proximity of the in
terurban tracks and traffic on Main
street. The property at the corner
of Sixteenth and Cypress streets has
been purchased and made into res
idence for superintendent VIM.
Smith and family, who have already
taken possession. The garden in the
rear of the old house is to be con-
verified into burial lots. The en-
trance to the grounds will be on the
Cypress street end of the place,
where a lodge and gates will be
erected, and another entrance will
be provided near the j. M. Thomas
hIausoleum
The present Board of Directors is
composed of 3. NJ. Renick, president;
VIM. Myall, secretary; w. o. Hinton,
N. Ford Brent and JOS. w. Davis.
The charter of the Paris Cemetery
was granted by the State Legisla-
ture in 1S47, and the cemetery was
opened in 1849. Priar to that time
a lot near Stoner avenue, close tC
the site of the Paris Ice Co.'s plant,
was used as cemetery, but after the
opening of the new cemetery, the
bodies were removed and reinterred
there

whom tie charter was granted were

NEWMAN ADDRESSES TOBACCO
MEN AT MEETING.

About six hundred farmers and to-
baccO growers of Bourbon county at
tended a meeting held at the court
house Saturday afternoon in the In
terest of the new Burley Tobacco
Grow ers Society," The meeting was
addressed by former State Senator
and Secretary of the Board of Agri-
culture j. w. Newman, who spoke
at some length in the interest Of the
big tobacco meeting planned here
for Monday, December 6. County
Court day.
MIR. Newman said the farmer and
tobacco grower must organize or
lose his identity. He needs to place
the business of growing tobacco on
such foundation that when the
time come to pillow and plant he will
know how much to. plant, so, as TO
keep down a surplus, and be assured
that what he does grow will bring q
satisfactory price. Every business
under the sun, the speaker said, is
organized except the farmer and to-
bacio grower, and until they get to-
gether their business will become
Improbable, and the land upon
which they farm will become much
less valuable than now.

CONSTRUCTION WORK AT XA.
LAPA STOPPED.

All work at the. Xalapa Farm of
Edward F. Simms, near Paris. has
been suspended for the winter. Dur
ing the past spring and summer. the
Mason-Hanger Contracting Co..
which has large contracts for con-
struction work of various kinds OIL
the place, has employed about 1,5OC
men. principally Mexicans, who wer,
brought here from the Texas border.
These men were unable to stand the
rigor of the. Kentucky winter, and
were under contract to be returned
TO their Mexican homes before De-
cembef. A large number of colored
labOrers on the farm have been re-
leased, which will help considerably
TO relieve the shortage of farm labor
throughout the county. The cessa-
ton Of work on the farm also throws
out of employment a large number
of men engaged in a clerical capac-
ity, as truck drivers. and in various
other lires of activity.

B0URB0N'S REPRESENTATIVE
: OPPOSED TO EXTRA SESSION

A majority of members Of the
Kentucky General assembly favor a
special session 10 provide funds for
highway construction, according t.
poll of two-score of them in every
section of the State.
Out of forty members interviewed
by Courier-Journal correspondents in
leading cities and towns twenty-four
believe that Governor Morrow should
call a special session; nine oppose it,
while seven either had not made ND
their minds or withheld their opin-
ions. Of the twenty-four in favor of
The road term. fifteen are Democrats
and nine Republicans. Seven Dem
ocrats and two Republicans oppose
it, Four Democrats and three Re
tublicans expressed no opinion.
MIR. James H. Thompson, Bourbon
county's Representative in the State
Legislature. is opposed to the calling
of a special session of the Legisla-
ture at the present time, as advO-
Gated by Lieufenant-Governor Bal
lard. Mr.. Thompson says:
Considering the condition of bus
mess generally, think it would be
unwise to. have special session OF
the Legislature at the present time.
The people are already suffering
from tax burdens. To increase these
burdens unnecessarily while the peo-
pie are suffering from the great re-
action which is now taking place,
would be great injustice 10 the tax
payers. If we learned anything fro,sl
the experiences of the war it was
to concentrate our efforts to the pro
duction of necessities and to elimi-
nate all but urgent work.

Everyone is invited to attend any
one Of these meetings that is most
convenient to them.
Last year the cry came from Ar
menia for help for the multitudes of
little children who were homeless,
starving, ragged and freezing from
the wind-swept desert. From Turkish
bondage came the piteous cry that
touched the heart of the civilized
world and a ready response saved a
nations childhood.
This year the same Children Of Sor-
row stand before you; they are rag
ged, homeless and hungry but they
are not hopeless. There is mile
after mile of human misery and suf-
fering to be relieved. There are
now 11O,639 children under Amer
lean care. Fatherless and motherless
these are the children of Armenians,
Greeks, Syrians and Jews, made
homeless and dependent by the afro
cities of the Turks.
These children will have no place
this year at a family table of their
own on the great day we celebrate.
As we plan this Christmas Day for
our own children let us think for a
moment what it would mean to them
if some terrible fate deprived them
of our love and left them desolate,
and suffering from disease and cold.
Five dollars a month will feed one
child, ten dollars month will feed
and clothe one; fifteen dollars a
month will feed, clothe and educate
one of these children of sorrow
The widows mite Is as much appre-
ciated as the larger gift of the
wealthy. Everybody must do his
part, else the oldest Christian nation
of the world will. pan out existence
for want of bread and we will be
Christians in name only.
At this season of giving will you
not let the claim of one of these chill
.dren find place in your heart? His
hungry eyes look at your we'll fed
children and His longing hand reach
es out to your Christmas tree.
Chairmen in every precinct in the
county have been appointed for this
campaign but if they fail to get your
contribution by Christmas just mail
your check to the County Treasurer,
