The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1921-06-10

people in Paris and Henry County
is hospital facilities We have
churches in plenty, any of them as
to teachings sufficient to save all
the people. and certainly of va

We have good schools and good
school men and women of intellect
and capacity to teach all the chill

the country school house were a little
better equipped and an increase
made of salaries, to keep the teach
ers from bankruptcy
We have automobiles quite suffic-
lent to do all the hauling of human
freight, whenever and wherever
human beings want to go.
We have a theatre, (perhaps from
indications will need an annex for
the accommodation of fun lovers
and pleasure Cd seekers every day

We have good hotels and boarding
houses and restaurants amply suf-
