Shooting A Pistol Z
Gets Youth In Bad;
DrauUs Fine Of $25

Young George Ray, II, came to
grief in Judge Bryant's court We'd
nesday, the result of his exploits OF
the days of 40 with Nick Carter
and Diamond Dick. He was fined
$25 and costs for promiscuous shoot
ing of a pistol, after he admitted
the accusation against him, follow
ing his arrest by the city police of
ficers.
Complaint had come to the police
officers that some one was doing
promiscuous shooting in the west end
neighborhood at intervals nightly,
and the definite developments came
when two other boys were arrested
for stealing cartridges from a store
building in that part of the city,
and the disposition of these cart
ridges run down..
Young Carter was bound over in
the magistrates court.

Wheelbarrow Gets
Arrested; Taken
To Police Station

Somebody's wheelbarrow got
arrested by Chief Buffers bri-
gade on Sunday night, after
having enjoyed day of rest
from the weeks arduous labors.
Said vehicle of transporting
brick, mortar, etc, had been

ing claimed it. 1t is a perfect
ly good wheelbarrow, too.

Cutting and Firing
Becomes General.

The weather for the past week
has continued very warm for the
season, and has been threatening,
but very little rain has fallen. Cut
ting is in progress over the entire
district and farmers generally are
using good judgment in cutting only
the ripe plants. Some sections have
cut very much more than others.
We estimate that something like one
third of the crop has been cut and
housed and is being fired. We have
seen little of the early cutting that
is partially cured and it shows
splendid body and good quality.
The crop is curing rather dark and
indications are that the crop will
generally be dark in color.
The crop continues to improve and

SHALL LAW AND ORDER PREVAIL
The Upright Citizens of Paris and Henry
County Should Vote Accordingly

All over the nation there is much
crime-it is largely traceable to those
violating the anti-liquor laws. Mem
phis is having its worst era of
crime; the citizens have been forced
to organize into a vigilance COM
mittee to suppress it. Amazing con-
ditions are developing there. Negli-
genee, or inability of the officers of
the law, had perplitted the situation
to "get away from them"
In Paris and Henry County, there
has been a concerted and determined
effort on the part of Sheriff Story
and his forces, (and such forces are
mighty hard to obtain5, to curb the
liquor law violators and bring them
to justice. The gamblers have not
been overlooked, either.
Because of this activity. Sheriff
Story is being condemned and all

defeat him for sheriff, for the sec

now bat a year.
The well-meaning people of Paris
and Henry County, regardless of the
merits of the other men in the
sheriff race, cannot afford at this
crucial moment to stay away from
the polls, but should go there in
numbers strong and certify the ad-
ministration of a man who has put
above everything else the enforce
ment of the laws, and the bringing
of criminals and other violators of
the law to justice! If the people
Of Paris and Henry County do not
want such man in office, they
do not want good government and
do not want an enforcement of the
statutes!

Had Good Imagination.

Mark Twain had such vivid i'm
agination that it was a difficult task
for him to tell a straight story just
as it happen ed-he could make up one
that was so much better. It is said
that Albert Bige1ow Paine, working
on the Mark Twain Life" found 1t
necessary to discard much of the au-
Photographic material that Mark Twain
had written. Investigation and talks
with men still living who knew the
facts simply proved that the tales
were not so. And Mark Twain was
no liar. He had a glorious, an al
most superhuman Imagination. AS
he approached three-score and ten he
said, as quoted in the Life" When
I was younger could remember any
thing, whether 1t happened or not;
but / am getting old. and soon / shall
remember only the latter"
