Miss Hurley tells of having received
letter from another relief worker, oris

from the railroad.
Wants More Help
Miss White begged for more help,
Miss Hurley said but asked that they
send some one with no heart, as it was
a cruel task. She reported that canni-
balls nhad begun in the outlying dis
tricts, and an old woman and a child
of nine have followed the cats and dogs
that already have bbeen consumed.

Scarcely a day goes by that we do
not see a dead body lying along the

COMMERCIAL CLUB ENDORSES
BOND ISSUE

At the recent meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Paris
Commercial Club held in the Club
offices, the proposal Of the City
Board Of Education to issue bonds
for the construction of a new school
building was endorsed. The Club
recommended to the Board of Edu-
cation that the proposed new build
ing should be located somewhere
south of Twelfth street and so
planned and constructed that addi-
lions may be made to the building
as the increase in population de-
mands additional school facilities.
Prof. Lee Kirkpatrick appeared
before the Board of Directors and
emphasized the need of more room
at the present site or a new school
building in some other part of the
town. 1t was brought out that
most of the lower grades are
crowded, and that many of the
grade divisions are compelled to re-
sort to afternoon sessions in order
to accommodate the pupils.
The contention that the number
OF county pupils admitted to the
public school is the cause of conges-
ton was disproved by Prof. Kirk
patrick, who presented chart
showing that if all the county pu-
pills were dismissed from the school
the largest number released from
any one grade would be eight pu-
pills, and in most grades only two or
three. Furthermore, the tuition
charged all county pupils who at
tend Paris public schools is far
greater than the per capita expense
of running the public Schools and
therefore the county pupils who at
tend the Paris schools are an asset
to the school.
The Board of Directors joined the
Board of Education in urging the
citizens of Paris to support the
bond issue in the election to be
held in this city on Tuesday. De-

the Paris market will begin next
Monday, December IL. Tobacco
men have been notified to have
their tobacco in readiness for the
sale by that time. The crops were
registered in the order in which the

tration. Farmers called may deliver

liver all of it. after that deliveries
must be made in crop lots when

on this years crop in the same way
as last year, a certain per cent on
delivery, and the balance as the to-
baccO is sold.
Samuel Clay, chairman of the
Bourbon county branch of the AS
ISOLATION, attended the meeting of
the Board of Directors, held in Lex
ington, Wednesday, at which it was
decided to take vigorous steps
against all violators of contracts
with the Association.

CHRISTMAS IN THE LOCAL
STORES

1t is a pleasure to make a trip
through Paris stores, now becom-
ing decidedly attractive in their
Christmas settings, full Of nice
things for the Christmas shopper.
The Paris stores carry all the up
to-date holiday and winter stuff our
people need to supply Christmas
gifts, or the outfits required for the
season.
Stores like those in Paris are
just as up-to-date in these times as
those in the larger cities. They
prepare for the holiday trade just
as carefully as any store can, and
are advised by live and wideawake
statesmen and wholesale houses as
to what line of goods are the most
popular this year and will best
please the People.
In buying from the Paris stores
you not merely get goods that are
up to the minute in every respect,
but they are sold at low prices. The
cost of operating the stores in this
city is relatively small and they can
afford to sell for lower margins.

North Middletown, this county, was
totally destroyed by fire about $3.50
O'Clock, Wednesday morning, to-
gether with the larger portion of its
contents. The fire is supposed to
have originated from a defective
Iflue.
The blaze was discovered by Mrs.
Bacon after it had broken out in
front of the open fireplace in her
bedroom. She and her two little
sons made their escape in only their
|nightclothes. The Paris fire de-
partment was called, but was una
BILE to be of much service on &C
count of the advanced stage of the
fire and the lack of a good water
supply.
The home was one of the hand
soonest in that section of the coun-
ey and contained a large collection
of relics and antique furniture
which had been collected by
Mrs. Bacon in her travels in
this country and abroad. Most OF
, them were destroyed, as was all OF
her silver. The loss was estimat-
ed at approximately $4,000, with
insurance of about $4,000.
Mrs. Bacon has for several
months been occupying the furnish
ed home of her brother. Calvert
