OF the export. During 1921 over 167,-
900 bales of linters went across the
Atlantic from this port, leaving on

the steamers going abroad from
Charleston took linters along with

Georgetown Road Pleases Drivers.

Georgetown Road Pleases Drivers.
Georgetown.-The people OF George
bwn county have for the past two
months and more been convinced by
actual demonstration Of the tremen-
dous transportation advantages and
the real JOY of riding over first class
sand-clay highway. The highway from
Georgetown to Andrews was complet-
ed, concrete bridges and all. about
the first OF January, distance OF II
miles. 1t was built with federal air
under supervision OF the state high
way commission, and the maintenance
work is being looked after by the
county authorities. The total cost ran
up to nearly 100000 making the cost
to the county approximately 100000.
perhaps a little less than that. But
the outlay seems justified in the good
that will accrue. The road is a per
feet thoroughfare for travel, and the
intercourse between Georgetown and
Andrews has been greatly increased.

COMMENT WITH A LOCAL AP.
- ~+>- PLICATI0N

Under the caption OF "a Curse of
Small Communities. The Cynthi-
ana Democrat comments editorially
on a matter affecting a Paris enter
prise:
"In a neghboring county a fight
has developed between rival bus
lines. One party established a line,
ran it at a loss for some time, and
when it finally began to pay another
party started in over the same route,
timing his schedule a few minutes
ahead and thus capturing the larger
part of the patronage. The original
bus people are protesting through
the papers, but it will do no good.
Competition may be the life Of trade,
but in small communities where pat
ronage is limited it is often the
death of enterprise. Where one
business in a certain line might
serve the public and make a fair
profit, two or more in the same line
make all lose money and eventually
go to pot. That sort Of thing is the
curse of every small community.
Nearly all lines are overdone. No
body makes any money. Enterprise
is stifled. Civic spirit is killed.
And yet some people wonder why a
town does not grow"

F. & C. TIME TABLE CHANGE UN.
SATISFACTORY

AS the result of a change in the
schedule of the Frankfort & Gin
cinnati railway between Frankfort
and Paris, effective Saturday, travel
and mail service in the afternoon
from Louisville to Stamping Ground
and other stations on the road eX-
cept Georgetown, has been rendered
impossible. Among places on the
road shut off by the change are
Elizabeth and Centerville, in this
county.
A morning train which formerly
left Paris at $50 o'clock has been
made a mixed train and now runs at
S:45. The net result of this change,
so far as passenger travel is con-
cerned is that there are now seven
teen Kentucky towns and railroad
stations, none more than ninety
miles from Louisville and some less
than fifty, which it is impossible to
reach by rail the same day if one
leaves after ten o'clock in the morn
ing.
P. F. Manning, general manager
of the Frankfort & Cincinnati, said
that he had notified the Louisville &
Nashville ten days ago, and that the
change was necessitated by condi-
tions of the road demanding econ
omy. He said he did not see any
way out of the difficulties arising
unless connections can be made at
Paris with the Louisville & Nash
Vile for mail service. This can not
be done at present.

formed an operation at the Massie
Memorial Hospital, on Detective j.
T. Lynch, of Hamilton, Ohio, who
was injured in an auto accident near
Paris some time ago, and whose re-
covery was for time thought very
doubtful. A portion of the skull
which had been pressing on the
brain, was removed. The patient
rallied nicely from the effects of the
operation, and is making RAPID
improvement. His physicians say
that he will be able to leave
the institution shortly, but that
there is a possibility that the
sight of one eye has been perma.
nently destroyed.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH PASSES
OFF NICELY

''The Day We Celebrate" July
Fourth, was observed in Paris in a
quiet manner, with the exception Of
the small boy, who would not be
content without his fireworks. And
there was sonme larger ones too, who
were in the same mood. The banks
and the pOstoffice and most of the
business houses were closed, while
their employees took holiday.
Many took advantage of the day to
visit the big picnic given by the
Knights of Columbus, in the Letton
woodland, near Paris, while others
spent their holiday in other places.
The flag of the Nation was every
where in evidence.
The third annual picnic given by
the K. of G. was the outstanding
feature of the day, and was a sue
cess in every particular. The day
was ideal, and fully two thousand
men, women and children from va
rious parts of Central Kentucky en-
joyed themselves to the utmost. The
picnic was ushered in by a parade
from the court house, led by the Y.
NJ. G. A. Boys Band, through Main
street to Fourteenth. At the grounds
all kinds of amusements kept the
crowd in good humor. Music,
dancing, outdoor sports and contests
'of various kinds kept something do
ing every minute. The picnic was
a success financially and in every
other way. All the arrangements
were in the hands of competent and
hustling committees, who saw that
everything ran along smoothly.

BASE BALL
LEAGUE STANDING

The GLORIOUS Fourth was truly
glorious day in the annals of base
balloon for Paris Mammoths, who
journeyed to Maysville, Tuesday,
for "a game with the Maysville team,
in the Blue Grass League struggle.
! When the finals were chalked up,
the score read, Paris 2, Maysville 0.
The game was pitchers duel,
with Miner, the husky Paris south
paw, carrying off the honors. The
Paris team has the honor of admin
istering the first gooseeggs to the
Maysville team for the season. The
Maysville team lost their chance to
win in the first two innings when
they failed to cross the home plate
after getting two hits in each in
ming. After that Miner had his
own way. Miner hit down the foul
line in the third inning, the ball 60
ing under machines for a three-base
hit. Singles by Coyle, Cicona and
Brockman in the ninth inning re-
suited in Paris getting two more
runs. The batteries were: For
Paris, Miner and Macke; for Mays
vile, Bosken and Connolly. The
game went an hour and thirty-five
minutes. Goetz umpired. A large
delegation of Paris fans witnessed
the game.
The Maysville Bulletin says of
Tuesdays game with Paris: Before
the biggest crowd that has ever at
tended game at League Park,
Miner, OF the Paris Mammoths hand
ed our boys" their first shut-out of
the season.
The game was a pitchers battle
between Bosken- and Miner, from the
start and it was just a auction of
who the break would fall to, and as
the score indicates, fate was more
kind to the Paris aggregation than
to the Cards. Though Miner re
ceived the breaks this does not dis
credit his pitching, as he pitched a
most masterful game, and, with
men on bases was invincible. The
Cards had many opportunities to
score, but each time Miner proved
his superiority and our boys had to
be satisfied to reach third.
The game was unquestionably
the best that has been played this
year, fast and interesting from the
start, both sides playing great ball.
1t was heart breaker to lose, but,
if the game was made to order be-
fore such a tremendous gathering,
one could not have wished to see a
better game of the national pas
time"
