The Retail Merchants Bureau of
the Paris Commercial Club is draft
ing preliminary plans for a "good fell
lowship tour" throughout Bourbon
county, which, 1t Is expected, will be
inaugurated within the next. few
weeks. 1.-The purpose of the tour"
according to John F. Davis, director
of business affairs of the Commercial
Club, will be to promote a stronger
relationship between the business
men of Paris and the various COM
mnities of Bourbon county. We want
to extend to them the hand Of fellow
ship and convince them that the
business men of Paris are interested
in the development of the whole
county"
Rudolph Davis has been assigned
to the craftsmanship and will per-
feet the necessary organization in a
few days. A feature of the trip,
according to preliminary arrange
ments, will be a parade in Paris, be-
fore the departure of the boosters.
Trade in some sections of Bourbon
county has for many years been alb
sorbed by other towns in their imme-
date vicinity, due principally to the
apparent apathy of Paris merchants,
and it is to correct this state of af-
fairs that the Commercial Club will
endeavor to put into execution their
"trade-at-hOme' methods and induce
the trade that rightfully belong to
merchants of these places to remain
with them.

FIREBUGS ATTEMPT TO BURN
BOURBON HOME

One OF the most mysterious cases
OF attempted arson that has come to
the attention Of the authorities was
reported to the police and the county
authorities late Thursday night,
when they were informed by a tele-
phone message of an attempt made
by firebugs to destroy the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Bagby, on the
Cllntonville road, one mile FROM
Paris.
Mr.. Bagby. who is an engineer on
the Louisville & Nashville, was on
duty that night. and away from
home. His wife and children were
in Paris, the former attending a
meeting of the order of the Eastern
Star in the Masonic Temple. On
their return home, Mrs. Bagby, on
approaching the house, saw light
shining from one of the windows,
and, getting closer, discovered smoke
issuing from it. She hurriedly sum-
mOned neighbOrs, who entered the
home, and found an attempt had had
been made to fire the place. Inc
floors, bedding, furniture and cloth
ing in the house had been thoroughly
saturated with kerosene, and match
applied. But for the timely arrival
of Mrs. Bagby the home would have
been destroyed entirely. The flames,
which were just starting up, were
extinguished.
Fortunately all the doors and win
dows had been securely closed be-
fore the occupants left the home, and
there was no chance for a draught
to fan the incipient flames. 1t was
thought the fiends who had done the
work had secured key to the home,
and entered and left by the front
door. Capt. v. G.. Mullikin, of Lex
ington, was summoned and came to
the scene with his bloodhounds. The
dogs were unable to find satisfac-
tory trail, due to the fact that so
many persons had entered the door
and congregated in the front yard
before their arrival, and the chase
was abandoned.
The authorities are still working
on the case, in hopes of striking
something that will eventually lead
to the detection of the perpetrators
of the crime. They are of the opin-
ion that it was the work of someone
who had grudge against the family,
as a number of valuables left in plain
view were not disturbed and nothing
was taken from the house.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH REVIVAL

The Kellums-Richards revival in
progress at the Christian church Is
going on with great enthusiasm, and
being attended by very large crowds,
who listen to every remark by Rev.
Kellums with the very closest atten-
ton. Sunday morning and evening
the church was taxed to its utmost
to accommodate the crowds.
Rev. Kellums' sermon Sunday
morning on 1.-The Lords Supper"
and Sunday evening on Baptism"
were two of the strongest sermons
ever delivered in Paris, and met
with a hearty response, many COM
ing forward to unite with the
church. 1t is the general opinion
that every sermon Rev. KellumS
breaches is better than the one pre-
ceding.
UP to Sunday night there had been
one hundred and ffty-eight addi-
tions to the congregation. The
meeting will continue through next
Sunday There is a baptismal SER
vice nearly every evening, and it is
always most impressive.
One of the most pleasing features
of the meeting is that so many Ct
the young people of the city and
county making confession are OF
ages ranging from sixteen to twenty
one. Sunday morning a section OF
the church will be reserved for all
who have Joined during the meeting.
Be sure to be on hand. Wednesday
evening the Mems Chorus will fur
nish the music.
The congregational singing at
both services Sunday was most enjoy
able and inspiring. 1t is expected
that the two hundred mark will be
reached by Sunday. The topics for
the week will be as follows:
Tuesday night, What Church
Shall Join?" Wednesday night,
"Origin of The Different Denomina-
tions;" Thursday night, 1.-The Scrip
tural Heart and How 1t is Changed;
Friday night, "Can a Man Be Saved
Outside The church," Sunday morn
ing. "a New Creature In Christ.
(This is the service at which Sec
ton will be reserved for those who
have Joined the church during the
meetsng); Sunday night. christian
Unicn."
II you are missing these services
you are depriving yourself OF great
pleasure. 1t is seldom that an evan
gelist is found who can enthuse and
hold his audiences with strictly doc
trinal preaching as does Rev. Kel-
Iums. Many people from distance
were noticed in the congregation
Sunday evening.
The Sunbeam Choir is doing some
fine singing and it is greatly enjoyed.
One Of the most pleasing and beauti-
full features of the meeting was the
cornet and saxophone duet, Wills
pering Hope" Sunday evening, oy
William Talbot and DR.. Harry
Mathers. The Male Quartette also
sang, eve Are Going Down The Val
ley"
Help make this week the best OF
the meeting!

no connection whatever with cotton

These spots also sometimes show a
tendency to grow larger. A represen-
tatiye spot OF this kind was recently
described as occurring in Hill county.
Four years ago this spot covered only
a few square feet, but now It occu-
pies acres. The spot is in a low
place, and the ground seems salty
These spots are indeed usually
salty in character and are caused by
salts. including ordinary table salt.
salt being present in them in such
amounts as to injure plants. or to kill
them The salt is brought into the
soil dissolved in water, the water
evaporates from the soil, and leaves
the salt behind. As water continuous
ly flows towards this spot and eyap-
crates, the salt accumulates and the
spot becomes larger. The water does
not flow on the surface, but through
the soil toward the spot. II carries
the salt out of the soil through
which it flows. These spots are usu-
ally poorly drained
The remedy for these spots is un-
derdrainage. A drainage ditch should
be dug down through the center OF
the spot so that the water that falls
on the land will pass through the
sell into the drainage ditar carry
ing with it the salts in the soil, which
are usually termed alkali The drain
may be left open or tile may be put
in. or wooden drain made OF old
lumber. or even brush a drainage
ditch OF this kind is especially rec
ommended when there is a tendency
for the spot TO become larger By
draining away the water the salts
will also be drained away and the
rainfall washes the salt out
There is nothing that can be ad-
ded to the soil to remove the alkali,
or render il harmless. The only thing
that can be done is to wash the alkali
out in drainage water.--G 5. Traps.
