CHAUTAUQUA IS
OFFERING GOOD
PROGRAM HERE
Advance Man In Paris This Week
Arranging Details for En-
gagement June 8.
MASTER ORATOR IN "THE
PERILS OF DEMOCRACY
Ben Greet Players Scheduled to
Make Big Hit; Tickets
Soon on Sale.

An unusual treat is in store for
Paris Chautauqua goers on the sixth
afternoon of the weeks program
here, according to A. G. Mason,
twenty-one day advance agent OF the
Redpath Chautauqua, which opens
its annual engagement here June g..
Mr.. Mason, who was here this week
arranging Chautauqua details, says
the entire program this year is more
excellent even than the many splen-
did programs, that Paris has here
tofore enjoyed, and that it is diff
cult to Judge just what Is best, but
that according to his personal opin-
ion the greatest work in Redpath
this year is done by DR.. Frank l..
Loveland, master orator, who speaks
on the sixth afternoon on the inter
esting subject, 1.-THE Perils of Democ-
racy" He says that DR.. Loveland
holds his audiences everywhere under
spell of enthusiasm and interest.
The Ben Greet Players will make
big Chautauqua hit is Mr.. Masson's
opinion, the Man From Home will
be fine; Miss Ridgeway, all an aud
fence could expect; Flowers, on
America Looking Ahead" excellent;
Ralph Bingham, his usual charming
self; Harold Ayres splendid; the
Chapel Singers, delightful; and the
Nevin Concert Company most enter
tanning. He further commends,
Harry Loose, Wallace Bruce Ans
ary and the male quartette, says
Harry Yeazelle Mercer gives a very
delightful program, and that DR..
Monsen's address on Mexico is GER
tainly great.
Mr.. Mason distributed advertising
matter, circulars, ETC., and made
many arrangements for Paris seven
big days of the 1921 Redpath pro-
gram, He will be followed by other
advance men shortly, and the season
tickets for Chautauqua will soon he
on sale here at 5000 including war
tax.
1t has not finally been determined
where the Chautaqua tent will be
this year, but it is likely that the
location will be same as last year,
on s. Poplar street.

We're ''all set" said Bob Murray,
secretary of the Paris Baseball Club

signing of Carl Eubanks. former
Southern League catcher and "Slim
Embry" pitcher from the Vanderbilt
team, and the City OF Paris will
soon enter upon it's greatest real
baseball career with the opening
games here next Monday with Hick
man. On Friday of this week the
team will journey to Hickman for
a couple of games "airin out" so
to speak. although it is not expected
much of showing will be made in
those two games, because the def
mite lineup will not have been effect
ed, as 1t was not planned to start
the season until the initial game
here next Monday.
Carl Eubanks was signed up We'd
nesday as manager of the Paris club.
He will succeed Holland Scott who

South Atlantic League in 1915 and
1917. Last year he was manager
OF the famous Westport, Ca, team
which won the pennant in the Mil
lion Dollar League. Eubanks. will
bring with him a couple of twirlers
and one other utility player.
Following on the heels of Eubanks
will be "Slim" Embry, now pitching
for the famous Vanderbilt Commo-
dores. Vanderbilt has won IA gaines
this season and lost only a Slim
has been the mainstay. He will not
make his contract effective until
June 4th, but will probably twirl
the apple in the opening game with
Dyersburg Thursday of next week.

Hickman game on Hickman grounds
will be: Vickers, G; Belts, p; Brown
lib; Rork, 2b; Nash, 3b; Allesio, If;

rents and interrupting communica-
ton of messages is now said to
result from sun spots, theory ad-
vanced by a leading American as
tronomer, and the fact that spots
on the sun, such as were visible to
the naked eye Sunday, and with a
smoked glass later, are usually ac-
companied by electrical disturbances,
leads to a general acceptance of this
theory.
Local telegraph dispatchers say
that the wild magnetic storm, caused
by Northern Lights frolic, which
was general elsewhere, was strongly
felt here Saturday evening, that the
local instruments could hardly be
used for three hours. nor correct and
uninterrupted messages received.
The disturbance was the seyerest
of its kind for thirty years.

Reply of The Mayor
Is Endorsed.

The reply of the mayor, as was
read to Mr.. Johnson in the presence
of the council on Friday night, has
been forwarded to Mr.. Johnson by
the recorder, with the following
letter appended: Herewith is en-
closed a letter of ]. r. Rison, Jr,,
mayor, which has been approved
by the council and which l have
been instructed to forward you as
the answer to your communication
to the honorable mayor and the
board of aldermen, bearing the same
date"
The reply in question, follows:
May 10, 1921.
Dear Mr.. Johnson
Acknowledging receipt of your
letter of today, which / beg to assure
you is accepted in the spirit in
which it is written:
And, / trust that you'll receive this
brief reply in the same manner, as
/ am sure it is the intention of the
city council, in offering the people
referendum on a bond issue, to act
and serve only in the interest of all
OF the people, and to the very best
advantage, and certainly for no
other reason, personal or otherwise.
To begin with, / do not believe
it is the right thing to do or con
sider-raising the tax rate, or rather
the aggregate, for the reason, as you
have suggested in your letter, the
country is facing decreased earnings,
and that there are a number of I'M
employed, etc. AS, to raise the rate
of taxation under such circumstances
would only heap an additional bur
den upon the widows and orphans
and those in meagre circumstances
who are striving to cope with exist
ing conditions.
On the other hand, a bond issue
and the construction work which
would be done hereunder, would
give employment to a great many
of the unemployed. And, ] might
here add that as a result of this
unemployment labor is cheaper than
it will be later on when the antici-
pated resumption of normal condi-
lions attain, and the construction
work proposed can thus be accom-
plished cheaper.
Personally, / appreciate what you

And thus the amount OF principal

The bond issue only increases the

last session, was elected principal of
Atkins-Porter School at the meeting
of the Paris Special District School
Board, Friday, when a number of
teachers for all of the city schools

tails disposed of.

years of two separate two-year terms,
she teaching in Houston and Wash
ington in the interim.

now elected include Misses Sylvia
White, Annie Nichols, Essie Walters,
Katherine Porter Edith White, Fleta

Mrs. T. NJ. Hagler. With the excep-
lion of Misses Alexander and Brizen-
dine, the other teachers taught at

later date.
The secretary of the school board
states that practically all applicants
for reelection in the city schools
asked for an increased salary, but
that this was not granted because
the board receives only a certain
amount of money to eXpend, and
being compelled to employ certain
number of teachers, and to meet
ether specified expenses, the money
available must be apportioned ac-
cordingly. The money in sight for
the city schools will not justify a
general salary raise, altho the board
would be glad to recognize the high
quality of these teachers work. with
more money.
The school board has, granted per-
riission to Prof. and Mrs. M. M.
Phillips to reside in Lee School build
ing this summer. Prof. Phillips,
"sho is superintendent of the city
schools, has had much difficulty the
past three years in procuring resi-
dence in Paris, which is greatly
crowded and still suffering from
iaGlmed living conditions. The board
is to be commended on offering
him the use of the school building
this summer, and he will move in
