OLD SCHOOL BOARD
AGAIN TO FUNCTION
Supreme Court Decision Last Satur-
day Reinstate Paris Spe.
cial Board.

Again the Paris special school dis
trict school board will function
since a decision was handed down
Saturday by the supreme court set
ting out that such boards are not
under control of the county educa-
ton boards as constituted in accord
ance with an act of the last legisla-
ture.
The Paris district board is com
posed of w. l. Dale, president; w.
Nat Porter, secretary. and w. G.
Johnson, J. K. Currier, Jr., Chas. d.
Trevathan, Frank Porter, and Robt.
d. Caldwell, members. Mr.. Caldwell
now being located in Louisville KY,
a successor will now have to be
named by the remaining six mem
bers of the board.
When the act of the 1921 legisla-
ture became law, the Paris special
district board disbanded automatic
ally, as did all other similar school
district boards over the state, under
a technical understanding that the
new county board had charge of all
school affairs participating in the
distribution of state school funds,
Since the county board was selected
by the county court, the local board
has not performed, under the above
ruling. The matter, however, came
to a definite conclusion Saturday
when the decision of the supreme
court was delivered.
This decision was rendered in a
case brought by trustees of the
Oneida High School of Scott County
a special school district, created by
Chapter 371 of the private acts OF
/ 1915, against the Scott County board
of education, organized under Chap
! ter 100 of the acts of 1921, tc
secure the control of the Oneide
High School The board Of educa
| ton contended that the special school
district had been placed under the
supervision of the county board by
the act of 1921, and that the trustees
of the special school district had
been abolished by the later act.
Constituting the provisions of section
IL of the act of 1921, that the act
should not apply to or limit "the
duties of such special school districts
as may have already been created in
this state by the legislature" the
supreme court held that the act OF
1921 does not either expressly or by
implication repeal or modify the ear
lier act creating the special school
district, and that 1t was the intention
of the legislature in enacting the
statute of 1921 Ito exempt from the
operation of said act special school
districts which had been created
prior to its passage and which were
in existence at the time of its pas
sage" The court held, therefore,
that the trustees of the Oneida spe-
cial district were entitled to manage
and control the schools without in
reference from the county board
An opinion for publication was filed
in this case by Justice Hall.

deavored and would continue to
strive to keep the organization and
Its work before the people through

East Washington To
Be Bright Spot In
City Business Area

East Washington street between
court square and Brewer street,
promises to be a bright spot in
Paris business area, when the Paris
Hardware Company's building is
fitted out and when the new build
ing on the present vacant corner
lot adorns the skyline of this now
popular business district.
Ben Diggs broke ground Tuesday
at the lot on the corner of e. Wash
ington and Brewer streets for new
two-story brick business house,
fronting AZ feet on e. Washington.
The building will be divided into
three individual stores, each with a
basement except the second floor
will not be partitioned. 1t is under
stood the telephone company is nego-
tiating for the second floor, since
they are unable to secure the build
ing now leased to the American
French Perfume Company. The
Army store will occupy one of the
new store sections of the building,
the White Way Barber Shop another
section, and the third has not been
rented.
The building is estimated to cost
some $4,000 which also includes
the completion of the second story
of the Nored mill store. II. E.
Ribbons has the grading contract,
and John Snow the brick work.

NIMRODS RUSH FOR LICENSE AS
BIRD SEASON OPENS; PLENTIFUL

privilege anywhere in Tennessee ex-
cept at Reelfoot Lake, can be pur-
chased for $500. From November
81, 1920, to November 81, 1921, one
hundred and twenty-one hunters
licenses have been issued by Clerk
Dale. Farmers tell that quail this
year are more plentiful than ever
before, and If the prospective favor
able weather holds some longer,
the clerks office will most likely
receive a huge rush from license
takers within the next week.
1t is unlawful either to sell or
ship quail in this state. In addition
to limiting the hunting season, to
requiring the purchase of a license,
to prohibit the staying Of non-game
birds, game laws in this state de-
mand written permission from the
owner before tiilable and enclosed
land may be hunted.
r. Hunt Moore. county game war
den. insists that he win rigidly en-
force the game laws this season,
and has accordingly warned prospec-
tive hunters.

TOBACCO IS MADE
READY FOR MARKET
Rains Last Week Provide Good
Handling Season--Tobacco Is
Now In Good Case.
(By w. r. Kennedy.) }

At last we are having a good
handling season We have had
heavy rains and moderately warm
weather for the past two days and
tobacco is in good case, which will
help the cured tobacco materially
No doubt consid derable tobacco will
be taken down and put in condition
for marketing. Within a few days
new crop. Buyers however are
showing very little inclination to buy
just yet and we don't expect much
business until toward the end of the
month. Usually about the first or
middle of December is as early as
there is any buying of consequence.
So far as prices are concerned we
are looking for the better grades to
sell well and also expecting the
lower grades to bring better prices
than last season. This is because
we have short crop and there will
be no big surplus of either common
or good grades, but just what prices
will be remains to be seen
l
in tobacco transactions. A small
run of business has been done on
priced tobacco and the principal sales
have been made through the Plant
er's Association, and sales made up
mostly of common to medium leaf
out of the 1920 crop at prices rang
ing from IL to 20 cents. A few
hhds. of wrappers were sold at 25
to 80 cents, but there are so few
of the better grades that they are
hardly worth mentioning. l would
say that the market was dull and
inactive with very little inquiry for
old stocks.
A few loads of 1920 crop have
been sold to dealers who are still in
the market but the volume of this
business is insignificant as there is
very little left of the 1920 crop in
hands of farmers,

With the opening. next Thursday,
December 1st, of the quail hunting
season in Henry County, nimrods in
abundant numbers will overrun the
fields and wooded spaces, and Bob
White with his feathered brood had
best seek deep secluded abode until
February first when the, lawful sea-
son TO shoot quail in this county
comes to close.
Quail hunting is the favored sport
in this section now, the red fox and
other large game having been long
since practically exterminated. Low
ers of the sport carefully keep and
often fondly nurture brag setter
or pointer that they may enjoy the
scant eight weeks of the quail sea-
son.
Preceding the first of December
each year, hunters besiege the county
court clerks office to obtain the
necessary license before one can
lawfully shoot quail in Henry Coun-
| ty. The county license good for one
year from date issued cost s1.00. A
state license granting a hunting
