stead of preaching service, the hour
was given to the children and young

rendered a beautiful and impressive
Easter program, consisting of songs,
recitations, a pantomine and other
interesting features. The Easter
story was to have been told by Prof.
Bishop, but he was unavoidably abs

his place and made a short Easter
talk. The young people went through

DEMENTED MAN CREATES EX-
CITEMENT.

Aaron Shackleford, white, who is
thought to be demented, was arrest
ed Wednesday by Patrolman George
NJ Hill, on complaint of residents Of
Vine street. Shackleford was charg-
ed with disorderly conduct and
breach of peace. The compliments
were several young ladies residing
on Vine street, who testified that
Shackleford had been annoying
them.
He was brought before County
Judge George Batterton, and fined
$50 and costs. Being unable to pay
the fine he was turned over TO the
care of Jailer Thos. Taul AS he was
leaving the court house, Shackle-
ford made dash for liberty closely
pursued by officials. In his flight
he was intercepted by a Paris bust
ness man and returned to Jailer
Taul, who placed him in jail.
Shackleford has been in the court
several times on various charges.
Some time ago he was arrested on
complaint of people residing on the
Bethlehem pike, where he had been
terrorizing housekeepers. He had
armed himself with a pitchfork and
had driven everyone indoors.

SPANISH WAGES ARE VERY
LOW.

Americans accustomed to paying
their ordinary "hired girls" $50 OF
more a month for general house
work will be interested to learn
that Spanish domestics are forming
a labor organization to enforce de
mand for an increase that will bring
their wages up to the equivalent OF
S. OF even $40 month.
Cooks, parlormaids, kitchenmaids'
wet nurses, and general help have
united in a movement not only for
higher wages but an eight-hoir day.
This may look ridiculous in America
but it is serious business for the
Spaniards. They are accustomed To
paving their hired girls the equiva-
lent FORMALLY of about 81 a montn
and recurring them to be on duty
from early in the morning to late at
night. or even until o'clock the
following morning.

are allowed a halliday OH eacn

from all lines of business, attended

Windsor Hotel, Tuesday, under the
auspices of the Paris Commercial
Club. w. o. Hinton acted as toast
master.
MI. Hinton intl oduced as the
principal speaker for the occasion
Harry Giavonolli, editor of the Lex
ington Leader. Mr. Giovannoli's
speech lasted but twenty-five min
utes, but in that space of time, he
covered large amount of territory
and told some brilliant things. "You
are no longer living in a land of
honey" the speaker said, Living
has been too easy in the South. This
has been a land of honey, and that
accounts for the lack of commercial
organization, the lack of spirit and
enterprise. If yol! don't compete
with Lexington, Lexington will
swallow you up. If the merchants
of Paris do not cooperate, organize
and advertise the merchants of Lex
ington will invade This field, if they
have not already done so. 1t has
become a vital necessity for you to
look after what you've got to-day,
and to your interests for the future -

delivered a brief speech, full OF
logic and business argument. Beth
speakers were given a rising vote of
thanks after they had concluded.
By unanimous vote it was decid-

The menu served at the luncheon
comprised variety of delicacies and

THE GROUNDING COULD NOT
FIND SHADOW

If there is anything in the time
}1onored theory, of the srouccnog and
the weather, we are in for an ear ~
spring. The little varmint was
surely unable to find his shadow
Wednesday, as the day was disa-
greeable with heavy clouds obscur-
ing the sky, and hint of snow or
rain in the air.
Failure of the grounding in this
respect is according to the old-tim-
ers, a sure indication of spring
weather for the coming six weeks.
During the entire day Wednesday,
Paris was engulfed in a sheet OF
mist that absolutely withstood any
attempt OH the part of the suns
rays to reach the earth. For ground
hog day. the weather was perfect.
Had the little rodent seen heavy
black shadow following him around
he would Immediately have crawled
