members of the Presbyterian Synod,
which will be here for three
days session, beginning at 1880
O'Clock tonight, at the First Pres
byterian church. The delegates will
be guests of the citizens, and will
be entertained at the homes of
Paris people during their three
days stay.
The last meeting of the Synod
held in this city was in 1870, fifty
years ago. At that time the pas
tor of the local church was Rev. l..
H. Blanton, one of the formOst min
listers of the denomination in the
State, and he planned and carried
out the greatest meeting ever held
in the State by the Synod. A new
church building had just been COM
pleted. On the return of the Synod
to Paris the sessions will again be
held in new church, one of the
handsOmest and most complete
church edifices in Central Kentucky.
The fight of time and the mex
orable laws of nature have removed
from earthly scenes two of the
church's most beloved pastors, Rev.
L. H. Blanton and DR.. e. H. Ruth
erford, but in the present pastor,
Rev. E. S. Smylie, young man of
great eloquence and power, there
has come a worthy successor to these
men of God, who were a power in
Rev. Smylie has the
faculty of making a success Of ev-
erything he undertakes, and the
meeting of the Synod to be inaugu
rated tonight will go down in his
tory as one of the most profitable
and instructive ever held by that
body.

expected to be in attendance at the
meeting, the program of which fol-
