Lions and Rotary

That no one shall be overlooked
at Christmas is the determination
of the Rotary and Lions Clubs of
this city. These two clubs will dis
patch special messenger to Santa
next Saturday with a list of things
they want sent to a list of little
friends that are to be furnished them
by a committee appointed for the
purpose.
Friday last the special committees
from the two clubs met and decided
to ask the churches and schools to
appoint a committee of one member
from each church and one from each
school to supply a list of those to
be remembered Christmas who are
not otherwise provided for. This
committee will assemble Thursday
night, and make up the list. 1t
will be divided between the two
clubs on basis of membership, and
each club will prorate the names
between the individual members,
who will each personally make neces-
sary arrangements with Santa Claus.

WEBER INSISTS
HOSPITAL NEED
IS GREAT HERE
Says Kings Daughters In

Big Success.
Committees Are Launching
Plans For Drive For
Needed Funds.
Campaign Will Be General
Throughout County To
Build Hospital.

The service at the First Methodist
John l.. Weber of Paducah addressed
a large and interested audience, was
in the nature of an educational eff.
fort in behalf of the proposed new
general hospital, that the Kings
Daughters hope to erect, aided by
the active influence of the civic
clubs-the Rotary and Lions. Other
denominations of the city dismissed
their services Sunday evening in the
interest of the movement that con.
Germs the welfare of the entire COM
munity.
Dr. Weber is a brilliant and COM
pelling orator. His delineation of the
need here of a general hospital, of
the remarkable success of Kings
Daughters hospitals elsewhere, and
of the uplifting and charitable in
fluence such an institution would
command was forceful and convinc-
ing. Supplementary remarks were
made by A. B. Lamb and Mrs. d.
M. Mobiles, who is local chairman
of the Kings Daughters circle.
Taking part in the special music
of the evening were Mrs. ]. II.
Buchanan, Miss Margaret Porter,
Mrs. d. e. Bomar, Mrs. A. G..
Rhodes, H. B. Greer and A. B.

The Kings Daughters are going
valiantly ahead with their adopted
work, and are already using every
avilable means to collect funds in
small ways perhaps, but in womanly
ways, that are effective ways In
planning for the women to take
charge of the hospital movement in
Paris their capability and persist
ence in raising funds for a worthy
cause, as they have frequently evil
denced in church and Red Cross,
and other charitable work was taken
into account. The Kings Daughters
realized some $50 from the sale
of Christmas seals, and are this
week earning funds by wrapping
Christmas parcels at the postoftice.

BOOKS AT LIBRARY
FOR SERVICE MEN
Dis. Organized Camp Libraries Fur
nish Supply Good Reading
For Soldiers.

Miss Minnie Dudley, city librarian
announces that allotment of books
left over from the dis-organized
camp libraries are now on the shelves
of the city library, and she urges
particularly the ex-service men and
all other young men to avail them
selves of the opportunity of reading
them. They consist of 156 volumes,
and include wide range of sub
jects especially helpful to young men
books on various phases of farm
ing and business, histories, books on
salesmanship, and efficiency, all
good and helpful books.
When the camp lbraries were
broken up following the armistice,
the books were allotted to different
libraries. Those assigned West Ten
nessee went to the libraries at Paris,
Dyersburg, and Jackson. The books
are practically new, have received
small use, and will increase the
library considerably.
A new book at the library that is
in much demand is THE American
ization of Edward Box" which is
the best autobiography of the year.
Edward Box is appreciated by all
Home Journal readers.
Books to be purchased with tag
day funds will appear on the shelves
the first of the year, the librarian
says, or at least some of them will
be available by then.
Plans are being made to in every
way increase the library service and
efficiency. Among these is the plan
for Take One Table" where gov
ernment bulletins, and other interest
ing and helpful phamplets will be
conveniently at hand.

HOLLY CARTER IS
GIVEN A PARDON
Clcmency Extended BY Pardon Board
After Serving ) Months
In State Prison.

Holly Carter, the 18-year-old youth,
who was convicted for his conneC-
ton with the burning of the school
house at Routon, and sentenced from
to 20 years in the state peniten-
tiary, is today free from the tolls
of the prison and was in Paris Tues
day.
Garter was tried in July, 1920,
along with Jesse Marshall, found
guilty, and was granted a new trial.
When his case was called in the
circuit court last July he withdrew
the motion for a new trial and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for a
period of not less than 5 years nor
more than II years. However the
trial judge recognized that Carter
was under IS years of age when
the act was committed, and giving
due regard for Carter's straight for
ward statement of his connection
with the affair, recommended a con
ditiOnal pardon at the expiration of
one year if his prison record justi~
fled it.
1t appeared from the evidence, the
court concluded, that Carter was
hired to commit the offense by his
confederate, Jesse Marshall, who was
much the senior of Carter.
Carter is a son of Tom Carter,
living in the ROuton vicinity.
Jesse Marshall is still in the peni-
tentiary, where he has been since
May this year, for his concern in
the burning of the Routon school
house, serving a sentence of to 81
years

Alothough local buyers have not

they are ready to take any offerings
at certain prices, and they apparently
are waiting for prices to stabilize.
The first loose floor sales of the
season We're held on the Sth.
About 100000 lbs. of the new crop
was sold. Prices ruled very firm
for good and fine leaf. In fact
all grades were in good demand and
brought rather higher prices than
we expected. There was quite a
sprinkle of fine leaf selling at 25
to 35 cents, one basket reaching the
extreme price of 81 cents Consider
able good leaf was sold at prices
ranging from 20 to 25 cents, while
medium leaf sold at Is to 80 cents,
common leaf at II to IA cents, low
leaf to ~ cents. Common lugs
sold at l to cents, medium to
good lugs 12 to 5 cents. Tobacco
in soft are unsound condition sold
at 1 to cents below these quota
tions. Farmers generally seemed
pleased with prices and reflections
were few.

mechanical department of the sub
traction of 166 men at the local
shops, effective December 18th, al
though expected as an annual event

to the men just at Christmas time.
1t is understood the reduction of
force is to be only temporary, and
is in line with the general retrench-
ment policy at the wind-up of the
years business, and is enabled just
at this particular time because the
road is caught up on repairing bad
order cars-not a bad order car was
in the shop yard one day this week
it is said.
The reduction of force here means
about $4,000 Topped off the $4,000
pay roll monthly. Thus, a pay roll
of some $64,OOO is left, with about
$50 men still working after the re
duCtion goes into effect.
The reduction includes IA in the
