GETHER MEETING.

The Mt. Sterling Advocate, edi-
torially approves the spirit of accord
and cooperation manifested at the
recent meeting of the Bourbon
County Farm Bureau, in Paris, as
follows

are showing progressive earnestness
in their agreement to put their pro-

of organizing under the California

arrival of the time when tobacco
growing in Kentucky will cease to be
a speculative venture. The support
assured by the American Farm Blu
reau Federation means that Ken
lucky will have the benefit of the
aid Of an expert organization Of great
strength, valuable experience and

Postmaster j. Walter Payne re-
celved an Official notice Tuesday
from the Postofice Department Ct
washington, stating that Kerslake,
& Son, of Paris. had been awarded
the contract for repairing the vault
doors in the Paris postofice.

visit to the Office and dynamited the
doors to the big vault in the money
order department, securing a large
number of stamps and a small
amount of money. The locks were
ruined by the dynamiting and the
doors badly damaged. They were
unable to force an entrance to the
vault in the main room of the post
office, which successfully resisted
the impact of five dynamite charges.
., The doors will be repaired, new
new locks put on and the vaults put
in as good shape as they were before
the visit of the yeggmen.

THIRTY SUITS FILED AGAINST
WATER COMPANY

A total of thirty suits have been
filed by patrons of the Paris Water
Company against that corporation,
seeking to have the company enjoined
from turning OF water on their
premises, owing to refusal of the Wa
ter Company to accept the old rate
of payment, which was offered in be-
half of the plaintiffs. 1t is probable
that a test case will be made UP and
tried out in the Court within the next
few days.
For many years there has been no
contract between the City of Paris
and the Paris Water Company.
Many and loud have been the COM
plants on the part of the citizens
as to the quality of the water fur
nished, but the city has been power
less to give adequate relief. Not long
ago the Water Company announced
an increase in rates, to become eff
fective April /. Scores of citizens
refused to pay the advanced water
rates and were threatened with hav-
ing the water cut OF from their
premises. The Paris Commercial
Club took the matter up and advised
citizens to offer the old rate and if
refused, to notify the Commercial
Club. Hence the suits filed in court.
A blanket Injunction has been ser
ed on the officials of the Water Com
pany to prevent cutting off the water
supply Of 220 citizens who are pay
ing their water rentals to trustee,
having refused to pay he increase de-
manded by the Water Company. 9th
er suits are expected to be filed soon.
