Horace (Hod) Eller, former
pitching ace for the Reds, was at
tackled and badly beaten at Danville,
H., when property owners in Yer
million Heights, a suburb, resented
his striking the occupant of a burn
ing house. Eller. returning from
pitching in the Blue Grass League
at Mt. Sterling, KY, was appointed
Friday as a fire fighter. The fire
seemed to be slow re-
spending to an alarm. II suppose
you had to finish that crap game be-
fore you could get started" shouted
an angry property owner.A Filler
struck him and then the fight be-
gan.
Paris fans will recall the turbu-
lent disposition shown by the re-
dOubtable Eller, in game on the
Paris grounds with the Mt. Sterling
team when Eller advanced in a
threatening manner toward Umpire
Osborne, after having thrown 'the
ball at him. Osborne was ready
and would have done the scrapping
Eller serious injury had not the
police removed him from the field.

FOOTBALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20.

The baseball season is over. Paris
had wonderful crowds at the base
ball games during the entire sum-
mer, and now peoples minds will
naturally change to football for the
next few weeks.
Paris High School has one Of the
best teams she has ever had The
boys have had a little bad luck in
having some of their High School
games cancelled and being forced to
play two college freshmen games
which they lost by small scores.
The first game of the season
Paris won over Carlisle by a large
score; the second game Our team
was beaten by the Georgetown Col
lege Freshmen to O.; the third
game we were beaten by State Uni
versity Freshmen with small
score; the fourth game with several

Cynthiana, was lost by the small
score of 3 to 0. The games have all
been close and we'll played.
To-day when Paris Hi meets

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR

One of the most successful events
held in Bourbon county in recent
years was the Agricultural Fair
given at the Bourbon County High
School in Millersburg under the au-
spices of the Junior Agricultural
Club of the school and kindred in
terests throughout the county. The
event was fully treated in our Mil
lersburg department, but owing to a
pressure of advertising we could not
give space to the premium list,
which was quite lengthy.
Among the premiums offered at
the fair were three given by THE
BOURBON NEWS, as follows: Best
peck sweet potatoes, premium, one
years subscription to THE NEWS,
T. J. Cartmell; Best half-peck
onions, premium one years subscrip-
ton to- THE NEWS, R. l.. Wilson;
Best two SouthdOwn ewes, any age,
first premium. one years subscrip-
ton to THE NEWS, Reynolds Let
ton
The first fair held last year was a
success, but prOfiting by the omis-
,sions on that occasion, Professor j.
w. Lancaster and his corps of able
assistants saw that nothing was
overlooked this year which would
aid to the success of their under
taking.
To the older residents who held
pleasant memories of the old Bour-
bon County Fair, which ran for a
period of sixty-five years, the pres
!ent fair was compared favorably.
The show in the floral hall was
equal to that of any county fair in
the State. Women's work prsdom-
mated, and long tables of delicious
cakes, pies, bread and candies, some
of them prepared by girls not yet
out of their teens, showed the ex-
cellent work the fair is accomplish
ing.
The live stock exhibit comprised
hogs, sheep, cattle, horses, mules,
ponies. There were numerous ex-
hibits of chickens, ducks, geese,
IuI hCyO anu uihCoo, anu IWO iih6o
of hunting dogs, with several en-
tries, attracted much attention. An
old-fashioned hand cider press made
and furnished to the thirsty a splen-
did article of sweet cider, sans
kick" The ladies of the Parent
Teachers Association furnished for
twenty-five cents luncheon of
burgoo, sandwiches and coffee.
The object of the association is
''to stimulate an interest in imprOv-
ed agriculture and schools" LOcat-
ed in one of the richest agricultural
sections in the world, it is the aim
of Prof. Lancaster and his assOci-
ates to improve rural conditions and
to lead the boys and girls to a high
er appreciation of their OppOrtuni-
ties at home, and to fit them for a
happy, useful, consecrated rural ser
vice.
The annual hog sale held Friday
afternoon netted $114.50, which
was turned over to the Parent
Teachers Association to aid in it's
work.
