It was a bad day for Joe Glrod.
of Rivesville, when he took up his

roof. This was shown this morning
when Attorney Rose and Barnes,
defending Joe In the criminal court
questioned the validity Of the John
Doe warrant on which Joe was
arrested some time ago, charged
with storing Intoxicating liquors
for sale. Attorney Rose quoted a
decision Of the supreme court
holding that where an arrest is
made on a John Doe warrant that

not be used against the prisoner,
but when the warrant In this case

HERE FOR THREE
Locals Take ON Mississippi Clan for
Three Day Session to Begin
Today, Thursday.

Beginning today, Thursday, the
hard -clouting Paris ball club will
open a three game series at Barton
Field with the Holly Springs, Miss,
club, reputed to be the fastest 60
ing team in Northern Mississippi,
and which comes to the local park
fresh from a victorious session with
the Jackson OUTFIT. The Paris club
returns to the local field from a
three-game series with Fulton, hav-
ing dropped two hard fought games
to the Kentuckians, both clubs play
ing brilliant ball during the entire
session.
Three new players will report to
the local camp this week, an out
fielder, second sacker and pitcher,
and If this new material comes up
to the expectations of the manage
ment the locals will have tribe as
strong as the strongest of the semis.
Local fans are hungry for some
more real ball playing to be served
on the home grounds, and the park
will no doubt be alive with rooters
in support of the Indians who are
now going mighty good.

Be Sold Effectively.

49, PROCEEDS ON ESTIMATES
VIII Have Plans and Specifications
Ready to Launch Street
Program I'm Spring.

Plans for city public improvement,
including the work on streets, and
in fact all the work contemplated
under the bond issue :. voted June
18th, except the completion of the
negro school building and the re-
pairs to Atkins-Porter school build.
ing, will lie over until spring, ac-
cording to a semi-official determin-
ing of the board of public work at
the special called meeting held last
Monday night.
All members of the board were
present including Chairman w. e.
Sparks, w. L. Dinwiddie, John Cor
man, G. v. Ezell, Bob Bennett, r.
e. Hancock, and w. E. Gatlin.
1t was the concensus OF opinion
that in view of the not being able
under most favorable circumstances
to sell the bonds and get the money
inside of tive months, it would then
be too late to start on the work
of constructing the curb and gutter
this fall on account of the winter
freezes. OF course, the scarifying
OF the streets and the laying of
added gravel and finishing with
the oil and sand cushion cannot be
proceeded with until the curb and
gutter is ready. Further, the city
engineer says it is impossible to lay
oil in winter months.
However, the board will immedi-
ately employ an engineering force
to work in conjunction with the city
engineer, and have all the plans and
specifications ready within two
months for the street work, improve
ment of court square, and etc.
Arrangements, in the meantime,
have been made with local banks
Tor borrowing $4,000 on short-term
notes, as per the charter provisions,
and there will be sufficient out of
this amount to take care of the work
OF completing the negro school.
Bids are being advertised to be
opened Monday night, July 18th, by
the board of public works; they
must be in the office of the city
engineer by ten O'Clock that morn.
ing.
In connection with the balance of
the program, the following commit,
tees have been appointed by Chair
man Sparks, and these committees
will work out all details and have
the entire project in final shape to
submit to the city council at it's
regular September meeting. School

1t was the unanimous opinion of
the members of the board that the
city should provide an inspection
automobile for use of the board of
public works and the city council
in regular and special inspection of
the entire city and special work, as
well as the construction work, and a
committee composed OF C. v. Ezell,
w. e. Gatlin and w. L. Dinwiddie
was appointed to determine what
kind of automobile was best suited
and submit report, that the matter
could beS presented to the council
for appropriation.
