at Meeting Of Augusta League Of
Women Voters
The Augusta Branch of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters held
its regular meeting Tuesday evening
in the Assembly hall at the Y. NJ. G..
A. building. The first part of the
evening was devoted to a short bust
ness meeting presided over by the
president, Mrs. A.. o. Thomas.
1t was the original intention of the
members to have a meeting dealing
solely with the subject of "Disarma-
ment," but owing to the National
wide educational campaign on the
subject of Cancer" 1t was agreed to
turn a portion of the meeting over
to DR.. o. c. 8. Davies. who read a
very interelting treatise on that sub
ject.

Mr.. Miller was we'll known in
Paris. being a brother of S. A. Miller,

was man who stood well in his
community, a devoted husband and
father, kind and thoughtful neigh
Dor and friend.
He was born in this county, April
21, 1S4S. Uniting with the Metho-
dist Church at Conyersville, when a
boy, he lived consistent Christian
life. His wife, who with six chill
dren survive him, was Miss Nettie

Bond Issue Election
Comes Out Victorious

Final returns from the Saturday
election when a bond issue of a
quarter million dollars for public
improvement in Paris was voted on,
shows that there were 627 votes
cast in favor of the issue and only
239 against it.
The West end precinct returned
122 votes for, and only 9 against
The uptown precinct showed sos
votes for, and only 230 against
The majority over all for the bond
issue was 1888 votes, As votes were
thrown out in the count, account
improperly marked ballots. Some
voters marked the words ''yes" after
the X mark for the bonds. Others
turned the ballot over on the oppo-
site side and voted for w. G. Kirk
and some for Gwynne II. Ewing,
who were election commissioners and
their names with Richard H. Rhodes
appearing on the face OF the ballot
in autographed signature.
There has been some small talk
of contesting the validity of the
election, but the source cannot be
traced and the people of Paris are
in no frame of mind to put up with
such aggravation, especially in view
of the overwhelming vote in favor
OF the bond issue and public inn
provements.

PATRICK URGES
CARE OF SHEEP
Insists That Registered Bucks,
Would Prove Great Asset
To Sheep Raisers.
(RY ]. A. Patrick. J

The Livestock Shipping Associa,
ton has shipped to date 500 lambs.
Taking the entire lot sheep raisers
received an average of only $40
per head, with a goodly number
bringing as high as $40 and some
lambs in poor condition bringing as
low as $2.00 per head. Measured
in terms of what our lambs should
bring we are losing 1870 on every
lamb that is sold out of Henry
County, and when this loss is ap-
piled to our annual production of
500 lambs, we have a loss of $4,000
every year on our lambs.
This loss can be prevented. Sew
eral farmers in Henry County are
already producing top lambs and
saving this loss of $40 per head
on their lambs. Registered bucks,
early lambs, and good pastures is
the solution to this problem. We
need 100 registered bucks in Henry
County. They could be purchased
for $2500. They would pay for
themselves the first year and save
us $500. Some good sheep raisers
say that bucks would be good for
six years. You can figure the matter
for whatever number of years you
think buck would be serviceable,
but taking a period of four years
we have a saving of $4,000. A
good registered buck will pay for
himself every year. The man who
is producing scrub lambs is losing
$500 on each lamb. A registered
buck would pay for himself with
only ewes. With ten ewes he
would pay for himself and save
$500, with Is ewes he would save
$4,000, and with 20 ewes he would
save $500. Registered bucks are
cheaper now than they have ever
been. Place your order now for a
registered buck,

in addition to the final passage of

tion. Mr.. Travis has heretofore been
the superintendent of the mechanical

display of advertising matter in the
columns of the newspaper.
The advertising columns of The
Partisan have now developed to an
extent that the established office
force is unable to cope with the
situation, and Mr.. Travis will here
after be located in the front office.
and will cooperate with the local
merchants in person in compiling
and displaying their advertising, as
we'll as commercial printing.

assistant to Mr.. Travis as superin-
