Action Pictures of Thirtieth
Division Embraces
County Boys.
Actual Scenes Taken on the
Battlefield Show Wars
Different Phases.
Official Pictures Shown at
Dixie Friday by the
American Legion.

Henry county contributed more
than her quota to the ranks of the
American troops in the world war
and Paris is the first city in this
section of the state to be given an
Opportunity to see moving pictures
actually recording the achievements
of Henry county boys on the bloody
Lattlefields of France, when next
Friday afternoon and evening
FLASHES Of Action" the official pic
lures of the war department will
lie screened at the Dixie Tor three
performances, two matinees and one
night show. These pictures show
the thirtieth division, of which many
Henry countians were an inteSra.
part, in action in some of its blood
lest struggles in France.
These films record the heroic
achievements OF the American dough
boys from the moment they boarded
transports bound for France until
the humbled Hun admitted that he
was licked to a FRAGILE and agreed
10 the armistice. Regiments in
which local boys served are shown
larching to the front lines, and a
little later these same regiments are
shown marching against the Germans
through shell and machine gun fire
American dough boys are shown fall
ing wounded and dying, and the
spectators will be given a clear and
1--WE inspiring view of scenes that
have never been appreciated by those
who did not actually participate in
he bloodiest battles of history.
A conception of what war really
means may be gained when these
pictures show men falling maimcd
N dying while their comrades rush
on toward the German lines Red
Cross workers are shown binding up
rhe wounds of the sufferers and
lending first aid to those who fell
while trying to penetrate the barbed
wire entanglements which protect
the German trenches. Thrilling
serial battles are also shown, and
Eddie Rickenbacker is depicted
shooting down a Boche airplane; the
captured German airman, disgust
and chagrin written all over his
countenance, is also pictured sur
rounded by American dough boys
who captured him when he fell
within the American lines.
Soldiers OF the United States Signal
Corps who were detailed to secure
these films lost their lives in carry
ing out their mission, and no man
can fail to marvel at the dauntless
courage of the men who marched
straight into the holocaust in order
to secure these permanent records
for the war department 1t was
through their supreme sacrifice that
you are now enabled to see the war
in its most terrible aspect-infantry
charges battles of the air, artillery
offensive, submarine attacks, gas at
tacks and night battles.

Prune the Weeds and
Protect Your Health

Notices have been sent TO
various property owners of the
town to cut the weeds and grass
on their premises. Even on va
cant lots within the city limits, is
it important that the unhealthy
weeds be kept moved.
DR.. Miller, city health officer,
states that property owners, VINO
do not wish to receive such
notice, and those who do not wish
the notices followed up with
lines, to please be advised ac-
cordingly, and sharpen the lawn
mower for the war on weeds.
The weed cutting is a part of
the general health program which
the city health department Is now
emphasizing following the con-
tinued heat, and the unusual dan
ger of typhoid that is existant
everywhere.

Movement Being Promoted
By j. M. Ing is Meet
ing Popular Favor.
Benefits of Trucking Or
ganization in County
Are Pointed Out.
Movement Is Favored By
All Local Business Men
and Civic Leagues.

Putting Paris on the map as a
trucking center is move which is
now on a forward foot here, being
promoted by Mr. J. M. Ing of this
city, assistant trainmaster of the
Memphis division of the l.. & N.
railroad. fhe movement, now in its
infancy, is backed by the above
named railroad, endorsed by every
l.ank, business man, merchant and
civic organization of this city
favored by members of the county
council, farmers union and the indi-
vidual farmers to whom the PROPOSE
ton has been submitted, all of
whom are agreed that such an organ
ization would prove the greatest OPP
portunity that has yet come to Henry
county.
The plan involves simply making
an intensified onslaught on the fer
tile soil and propitious climate of old
Henry and demanding from her
liberal bosom further .harvests than
huge fields of corn, cotton, tobacco,
wheat and hay, and the other field
crops which are now produced here
extensively, to say nothing OF the
toes which are raised annually. 1t
means making Henry County THE
diversified county of the country,
and charging every branch of in
dustry here.
Mr. Ing speaking to the meeting
of the Farmers Union here last
Saturday, outlined the plan OF organ
ization and rehearsed the great pos
sibilities in store for such an organi-
cation of local farmers. He sug
gested that prior to organization a
poll be taken of the farmers with
the object in view of securing pledges
given over to the production Of
strawberries and tomatoes as be
ginning: he gave the estimated cost
of production per acre of these two
crops to be $25 and $3.50 respec
lively with the estimated returns as
being from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre;
he urged that if care be taken in
getting the movement started right,
and kept going right that the benefit
and returns might be the greatest
possible, and suggested that in the
event of a definite organization that
a man familiar with the growing
and marketing of such crops be
secured to safeguard the individual
and collective interests of all mem
bers, stating that such a man of
years of experience can be secured
now
Mr. Ing has for a number of years
been handling the shipments of
truck in this section of the state for
his company, and is thoroughly con
versant with the benefits and momen-
tary returns which have resulted to
the farmers south of Henry county.
He feels that this county is much
more productive than other counties
which have been given over almost
entirely to the truck growing bust
ness, whose citizens have prospered
through the business. Being a citi-
zen of this city, he sees the great
benefits to every branch of local in
dustry which would be ushered in
through such an organization here.

and N & C. railroads will send
representatives here to discuss this
matter with the farmers at a suitable
date, and the fullest cooperation
of the both roads is assured. County
Agent Patrick states that every Of
fetal of the county council who
has been interviewed personally
favors the undertaking, and although
it has not yet been approved by the
board OF directors, he feels sure
that it will be and will receive the
heartiest support of the entire mem
bership. Before such official en-
dorsement, he says, Investigations
will be made in the counties south
of here where truck growing has
been followed with so much sue
cess
The Partisan has urged such
diversification plan, with such great
results in view, through its editorial
columns no loss than five times
in the past year, and started right
and managed right from the first
planting to the marketing of the
last car load of the products, there
is no doubt that such trucking
organization as is proposed would
prove one of the greatest individual
assets to the members that oppor-
tunity has ever offered them, and
would bring a new era OF prosperity
to the county which would extend
to every business and industry with
in its borders. There is no reason
why every citizen of the county
should not get back OF the movement
and make it a fact rather than a
fancy

TRAFFIC SQUAD
CLAMPS ON Lid
Eighty Per Cent Improve
ment Is Result Of
the Campaign.

Traffic has improved here eighty
per cent it is almost universally
asserted, since the intensive drive
by the city police force began. Be
ginning particularly last Friday night,
the city cops, under the personal
direction and instructions of Judge
Bryant of the city court, have been
putting the clamps on imprudent
motorists, and though they have
been going easy at first, it is
rumored about that determination
with capital D. is marked on the
faces of the officials when they cite
for Zines, or give warnings Chief
Butler is carrying out an earnest
campaign pledge in this effort to i'm
prove the city traffic.
AS anticipated, most of the disre
gard of the city traffic ordinance
occurred Saturday night and sunday
night, but careless drivers or reck-
less drivers soon became aware tina,
a scientific Flash light system was
being successfully worked and be
came cautious. Putting in tail lights,
repairing head lights, etc, suddenly
picked up at various garages, those
considerably cited for fines, not
caring to further brook oifense.
Several arrests We're made this
week for speeding. Scarcely an out
law cut out is heard now, and the
observance of proper tunings, etc, Is
improved
1t is contemplated putting on
extra traffic cops, especially FOR
several hours at night, as it is
reasoned the fines accruing would
soon pay the additional salary. BY
almost universal expressions from
all parts of the town, ii appears
that this move to correct traffic
here Is meeting with. general APP
prevail. Many citizens are Loyalty
cooperating by offering suggestions,
reporting careless or reckless driving,
and by most cautiously observing the
traffic rules themselves.
