BOURBON BOOSTERS MAKE TOUR
OF COUNTY

OF COUNTY
Cooks personally conducted
tours" had nothing whatever on the
trip of the Bourbon Boosters, made
through the county Tuesday, either
in point of attendance, personnel of
the party, or in the points of inter-
est visited by the enthusiastic del
egation. Though devised as a trade
bringing movement for the merchants
of Paris, the tour really partook of
an old-time "get-acquainted-wit
your-neighbors" flavor, and resulted
in cementing more firmly the ties
of friendship and county loyalty be-
tween the people of Paris and the rest
of the county. 1t was more like a
family reunion than business
venture.
The Boosters, with their wives,
mothers, sisters and sweethearts,
assembled at the court house at eight
o'clock. A band concert by the City
Band of twenty-five pieces, featured
the starting of the motorcade, which
formed in line of march in front Of
the court house, and made a trium-
plant tour of Main street to Twelfth
and return. The Boosters wore
red-and-white paper caps and large
buttons, bearing the words, "Bour-
bon Boosters" They were plentiful
ly supplied with advertising matter
and souvenirs, which were distrib-
uted in the city and at each stop
made in the county. Slightly be-
hind the scheduled hour the motor
cade left Paris, in a magnificent
sweep of motor cars and trucks, and
with the music of the band and the
cheering of the Boosters filling the
air. The comedy feature Of the trip
was provided by DR.. J. w. Kiff, in a
clever Yiddish makeup, who featured
each stop with a comic turn, very
pleasing and acceptable to the spec
tators. IA Sj.
The first stop was made at Shaw
han, where large crowd of repre-
sentative citizens of the community
had gathered to welcome the invad-
ers. After selections by the City
Band and a solo by Percy Reid,
short address was delivered by Thos.
w. Spicer, in which he extended the
good wishes of the people of Paris,
| and urged a continuance of pleasant
trade relations with the county seat.
From Shawhan the party proceeded
to Riddles Mills, where the ovation
at Shawhan was duplicated. VIM. O.
Hinton was the speaker at this stop,
his talk being a practical one bear
| ing on trade relations that should
be maintained between all sections
of the county and the home town.
| Concert by the band and solo by
Mr.. Reid kept the crowd in fine
lhumor. Here the Boosters were met
by a committee of representative cit
liens from Millersburg, who ex-
tended a welcome from the citizens
of the city to the visitors.
At Millersburg the Boosters re-
ceived one of the most enthusiastic
receptions of the day The city wa;
theirs for the time being. Following
the musical program by the City
Band and Mr.. Reid an address oil
welcome was delivered by ". D. Nc
Intyre, who introduced Virgil Chap
man, of Paris Mr.. Chapman dellV
cred a splendid talk along the lines
sought to be achieved by the
Boosters in promoting closer trade
relations with the city of Paris. Re
freshments were served to the visit

From Millersburg the motorcade
travelled to North Middletown, "the
garden-spot Of hospitality" where

that section do. There was a large
