The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1922-08-08

Bourbon Fiscal Court, Magistrate E.
p. Thomson presided in the absence
of County Judge George Batterton.
Among the most important matters
under consideration was the report
of the Garth Fund Commissioners,
E. M. Dickson, C. M. Thomas and
Alex Miller, which was submitted
and adopted. Seventeen old benef-
Charles and nine new ones were given
the benefit of the fund, involving
an appropriation of $1,875. In their
report the Commissioners recon-
mended to the Court that the entire
report be published in the Paris pa
pers. The report is herewith pub
lished in full:
1.-THE Judge and Members of the
Bourbon Fiscal Court:
Gentlemen - The undersigned
Garth Fund Commissioners are sub
hitting herewith for your consider
alton the subjoined list of young
men selected as beneficiaries for the
school year 1922-1923.
1.-TWO young men, Lawrence Seper
and James Faulconer, were gradual
ed in June, and both will accept po-
sitions of honor and trust for the en-
suing year. These young men dis
played the proper spirit by return
ing to thank the commissioners for
the assistance rendered. Some are
not thoughtful enough to show this
same token of gratitude. Some ben
eficiaries of last year did not apply
for assistance, and there is a very
regrettable tendency on the part of
many beneficiaries to leave school
before graduation. Some are not
persistent enough to finish even in
the local schools.
1T is the opinion of the commits
sioners that all applicants must
hereafter have completed the eighth
grade and be ready for high schoo
before receiving assistance from the
fund. The local public schools are
able to carry boys through the
eighth grade, therefore, it is the
part of wisdom to have each DO,
avail himself of the public schoo
before applying for assistance.
Citizens and all who recommend
to the commissioners applicants
should be sure of the mental. mora
and financial status of the boys. w,
have no means Of judging the mer
its and fitness of applicants excep
through their testimonials.
I'VE have constantly to remint
beneficiaries that they must brin.
reports of their class standing am
also itemized statements of their ex
penses with receipts and voucher
for same, all made out in business
like form. Hereafter for. applicant
to receive proper consideration the,
must bring their reports from thei
schools and teachers to be filed witt
the commissioners.
