Mrs. Mary James Is
First Appointee Of
Governor Alt Taylor

The first appointment made by the
newly inaugurated Governor of Ten
nessee, ALI Taylor, was that of Mrs.
Mary James of this city as coal oil
inspector of Henry County. The
governor purposely favored woman
with his initial appointment, as he
said, he feels that the women of
Tennessee favored him in the Novem-
Der election, and were largely re-
sponsible for his being elected.
Mrs. James succeeds Esq. S. j..
Cross, who was not an applicant for
re-appointment under the new ad-
ministration. Her term of Office be-
gins next June when Esq. Cross term
will have expired, and will be for
two years. The inspectors duty is
to inspect all oil and gas used in
Henry County. The salary is two
hundred dollars.
The appointment of Mrs. James to
the first official state executive po-
sition in the county ever held by a
woman, is pleasing to her many
friends among whom she is generally
popular. She is a resident of Ruff

Regret Departure DR..
Walter To Mayfeld

DIR. e. c. Walter leaves Paris this
week to assume new duties as sur
geon and X-ray director at the big
new hospital, at Mayfield.
1t is generally regretted that DIR.
Walter is leaving Paris. He has
speedily popularized himself, during
his several months stay here, both
with patients, and with others of the
medical profession. He has also,
proved himself as possessed of keen
medical knowledge and first-rate sur
gical skill.
Mayfield is to be complimented on
having secured his services, as he
will add to the medical personnel OF
that city. He is an honor graduate
from the medical department at Van
derbilt, was for sometime assistant
chief surgeon in the City Hospital,
Nashville, and has specialized in x
ray work.

SCHOOLS READY
FOR PROMOTIONS
Semester Closes With
Examinations; All Schools Are
VI Overcrowded.

Ereparatory to mid-term promotions
next Monday Grove students are this
week In the midst of examinations,
which continue through Friday.
Whi6rno students will be transfer
red this Enid term from AtkinsP Porter
to Grove, yet, account the curtailed
term of the rural schools, it is an
ticipated that many from the country
schools will desire to enter Grove for
the spring session.
To date, tw ohundred and sixty
student shave been enrolled in the
High School, and are this week COM
pleting a satisfactory half session.
Prof. J.. H, Bayer states that the
students are this year accepting ex-
aminations composedly, and that
they are generally enthusiastic over
making the spring term the best one
yet.
There are between thirty-five and
forty who will be graduated from the
school the last of May.
Although Atkins-Porter and Lee
pupils are undergoing no finals, they
are this week and next week, taking
usual monthly tests, and the teach
ers are making a last survey, so as
the better to recommend promotions,
which will take place in the city
schools Monday week.
Prof. M. NJ Phillips Is applying
to each of the grades, and to classes
tests, that have been carefully work
ed out by leading educators and psy-
biologists. This is being done with
the view of comparing the standing
and advancement of the Paris schools
with schools elsewhere, and seeing
that they measure up"
1t will of course take several weeks
fer him to complete this survey,
which when finished will be of in
estimable value to both teachers and
students.
1t is not likely that many students
will be received into the city schools
at this mid-term, as every seat at
Atkins-Porter is filled and as Lee is
crowded to capacity, so that recently
portion of the Lee Lunch Room
had to be partitioned off as a class

first term are $40, at Atkins-Porter,
800.
Because of the overflow in the
grammar school, it is possible, that
there will be no pupils sent from
Lee to the higher school at this time,
although regular promotions will be
made. The graduation of from sixty
to seventy Atkins-Porter students this
spring will relieve the crowded con-
dition little, as there are numerous
small six year olders now waiting for
the school doors to open next Sep
tember.
So far, the health in the City
Schools this session has been extra
good, and it is the superintendent
intention to strictly demand quaran-
tine endorsements, at the first sign
of an epidemic in the schools. He
should be strongly reinforced in this
comnsendable authority by parents
and physicians.

MINSTREL SHOW
DIXIE THEATRE

That the old-time minstrel show,
the most popular form of theatrical
amusement a few years ago, still
remains the power to attract is quite
evident by the tremendous crowds
that flocked to see Gus Hills Min
strels at the Auditorium theatre in
Chicago when that famous organiza-
ton appeared there for a long en-
gagement recently. The capacity of
that. big playhouse was sorely taxed
at every performance. The CON-
oany includes Americas leading ex-
ponents of burnt cork fun and they
not only reproduce all of the charm
of minstrelsy of the by-gone era, but
also the more advanced ideas of
modern minstrelsy with old king
Jazz as one of the principal fac
tors. There are clever comedians,
sweet singers and skillful and grace
full dancers, forming in all one of the
greatest shows of its kind ever offer
ed the public.
Gus Hills Minstrels will be seen
at the Dixie Tuesday, February 1st.

every theatre in the United States
has gladly complied. In the large
cities, grand opera singers and other
ortists will give their services free.
Film exchanges are furnishing free
films to all motion picture houses,
all theatre employees, everywhere, are
donating their services for the per
torrance free; and every theatre is
bearing all operating expenses for
that date, so that every dollar taken
at the box office is sent to the gov
ernment, who transfer it to the Re.
lief Association.
Never has a need been greater.
Never will dimes be better spent
than for the picture show on Satur-

Not only will regular prices of 20
cents for adults, 10 cents for children
prevail on that date, but the special

BY vote of A to 40, the bill re-
pealing the dog law was killed in
the lower house of the Tennessee
General Assembly Wednesday. This
bill has occasioned much debate and
consideration in the house. The
agriculture committee recommended
it's rejection.
Another prominent action of the
assembly this week included the
recommendation by the Senate ju-
dietary committee, for the passage
of the bill to repeal the anti-ciga-
rette law Notwithstanding the two
hours heated argument before the
committee of w. c. T. u. leaders and
doctors and lawyers. the vote for the
bill passed by Z to A, and the bill
is now assured of senate approval
and final passage, being passed by
the house last week with an over
whelming majority.
The purpose of the present bill
is to repeal the law forbidding the
sale of cigarettes in the state, and
reacting a law strictly forbidding Gig
arctic sales to minors, but admitting
sales to adults, and requiring a tax
for the privilege, which will add to
the states revenue.

The date is pretty well known, but
it might be well just here to call
attention to the farmers meetings

p. m. The object of this meeting
is to stress diversifcation and plans
and methods of farming in these
times of low priced farm products.
Some of the best talent of Memphis
will be in this meeting and make
addresses. We owe these gentlemen
a good hearing.
The chief of these speakers will
be Hon. Geo. r. James, president
OF the VIM. r. Moore Dry Goods
well known in the business world.
His business career has surpassed
that of most business men in the
South. Few have attained the prom
inence that Mr.. James has. Hear
him once and you will travel long
distance OH a cold day to hear him
again. His talks are not only enter
tanning, but practical and instruc-
tive.
Mr. James will address the business
men of Paris and Henry County

Progress in Sale
of Red Clover Seed.
The sales of clover seed have been
all we could ask for up to date. The
total of all sales amounts 1917 BUSH
els.
There have been number of calls
at the County Council office for
small quantities of seed for plant
ing. On account of the details of
keeping up with a small business we
will not be in shape to handle this
business. Besides the seed in such
quantity can be bought as cheaply
| from other places as from us. I
would suggest that parties interested
in buying seed get in touch with
farmers who have seed for sale.
| don't think that there was ever
better time to seed down a portion
cf your farm to clover than this sea
son. The seed are cheap. The mon
ey crops are practically worthless.
Glover can supplant these money
crops and build up our soil. Glover
is the best grazing that can be had.
1t can also be utilized as hay, and
the time has not yet come when
hay would not sell at a good figure.
The second crop can be saved for
seed The real benefit of clover
comes in the crop of corn, wheat,
cotton or tobacco that is grown after
clover.
So, let every farmer who can, sow
a big acreage of clover
