NOW / lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake
Well, 1 should worry"
In these days of price-slashing we
have noticed that the Paris butchers
have not stopped when they cut TO
the bone. Vow!
Making a blackberry pie, straw
berry pie, a strawberry shortcake
and a bowl of boiled custard upon a
whitewashed wall is an amusement
in the movies. M r
A kiss is generally used as a noun.
1t is never declined. More common
than proper. Sometimes used in the
although more often used
in the plural number. 1t agrees with
me. s~ r~
A highly educated man is one who
does not use an adjective where IN
adverb should be employed more than
five times in ten, and observes his
error in three cases in five, flinching
and wondering if others observed.
Paris man remarked after reading
of a travelling man being ''held up"
in his. room at a "well-known and
popular" Lexington hotel: ''That's
nothing. I've been held up every time
1 ever went in that place, from the
front door to the back"
Read the accounts in the daily
newspapers of the long list of women
being murdered each day, and it will
not take a mathematician to figure
that at the same rate of speed there
will not be enough of them left to
insure every man a wife in a few

. We can remember the day when
the grocers used to make early morn
ing rounds to take orders from the
housewives. Now the telephone has
the job and motor truck delivery
takes the place of the old time horse
and delivery wagon. Verify, this is
a progressive age.
There is a widespread disposition
on the part of farmers this summer
to plant only enough grain and food
stuffs for their own personal needs.
But we notice the farmers of Bour-
bon county are coming to Paris with
their market baskets and buying
many vegetables. That looks strange.
The advent of the automobile is
turning people of the Bluegrass into
a community of gypsies. Like rowing
Bedouins, their machines (not tents)
can be seen on all roads in Central
Kentucky. They are like ship with
out a sail, and perferctly at home on
any old road, as long as the gasoline
holds out.
A five-year-old Paris lad residing
on High street had just become ac'
uuainted with the boys who moved In
across the street. His vocabulary
Immediately expanded. Although
accustomed to the use of slang his
mother was quite shocked when she
heard him say one evening as he was
preparing for bed:
1t used to be that any old aus
could predict that the tobacco crop
would grow out after late summer
rains had descended, without going
to the country and taking a look. Ii
is different this year, as lots OF the
plants have not advanced in size foi
sixty days. Bugs working on the
roots, it is said.

The English language is the most
wonderful on earth. A dispatch from
Lexington says Isaac Chitwood was
caught in bad company when he was
arrested one day last week in com
pany with tengallon key hlleo
with moonshine whisky. The best OF
men are looking for that kind o;
company.
