NEWS OF THE COURTS

In the County Court the case of
the Commonwealth against Scott
Holland Gilbert, charged with as
sault on Ellis B. Hukill, tailor, was
dismissed Wednesday morning, be-
cause Of the weakened condition of
Gilbert, whose health has been fail
Ing for some time. Gilbert has re-
turned to his home in Etewah, Tenn.
In Police Court, VIVA. r. Bright
and Wade Hampton, both giving
Lexington as their home, were pre-
sented on charges of reckless driv-
ing. The car which they were
driving, collided with a Ford Sedan
parked in front of the Bourbon-Ag-
ricultural Bank. Very little dam
age was done to either car. The men
stated they were en- route to Cincin-
natl. Judge Ernest Martin assess
ed them $3.50 each.
In the County Court, Charles CAL
loway, colored, charged with having
a "moonshine" still in his possession
was held to the Grand Jury at the
coming term of Bourbon Circuit
Court in the sum of $500. Being

County Attorney of Harrison county
for investigations
The case of the water consumers
of Paris against the Paris Water
Company, an action which has been
in the Court for several months, was
partly decided Monday by Special
Judge Bailey. Judge Bailey held in
effect that the Water Company could
not shut off their water service to-
Paris consumers unless they paid to
the Company the full charge asked.
The decision is partial victory for
consumers and puts it up to the Wa
,er Company to show some legal rea-
son in court why they should be per-
nitted to charge higher rates for
water.
Judge Bailey gave the Water !
Company twenty days in which to ;

PARIS COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES

At a joint meeting, Tuesday
night, of the City Council, the
Bourbon County Bar Association,
the Board of Education and the
Commercial Club, after the special
business of the meeting had been
dispatched, a round-table discussion
was entered into about the desira-
bility and necessity of an Automo-
bile Club for Bourbon county.
Quite an interest was evidenced
by those present in the discussion,
and many reasons for the need of
such a club in Bourbon county were
advanced.
Most localities, with the number
of pleasure cars per capita that
Bourbon boasts of, have an automo-
bile club. Civic pride demands it,
and, in addition to touring infor-
nation, funds derived from member
ship fees, are used to mark the
county roads, to place directors
along the National, State and Inter-
State Highways. Tourists camp
sites are established and maintained
and pictures and literature of these
conveniences, as we'll as other points
OF interest to the motoring public,
are made up in booklet form and
sent to touring centers,- such as
Nashville, Knoxville and Chatta
nooga, Tennessee, Cincinnati and
Louisville for distribution to north
and south bound motor tourists.
Good roads are always a part of
the program of an Automobile Club.
Public sentiment is created for good
highways, elimination of hazards
and the identifying of the roads
Usually, this program is not con-
fined to a home county, but is ex-
tended to adjoining counties, so that
good roads, through the activities
of Motor Clubs, develop into State
wide and Interstate interests.
Probably no other organization in
Bourbon county could have the inf1u-
ence necessary to route the Dixie
Highway through Paris as could an
automobile club. Nothing can
equal a motorist as an advertising
medium for a community. Certain
ly the motorists of Bourbon county
desire to show as much pride as
other communities in having an Or
ganization of their own to offer the
particular service which they need
and support their own individual
interests as well as the growth of
the community as whole.

: At meeting of the Blue Grass
League clubs representatives., held
in Lexington, Wednesday night,
President Russell presiding, the mat
ter of changing to a four-games-a-
week. schedule was taken up and
discussed. A motion was made to
change the schedule to three games
a week, which was finally adopted.
The League was unanimous for max
ing the four games a week change
with the exception of Mt. Sterling,
and this detection caused the com
promise on three games.
The date of changing the schedule
was not set, and the date of closing
the season was also left open.
Games in the new schedule will
probably be played on Thursdays,
Saturdays and Sunday. The sched-
ule will be submitted at another
meeting of the League, to be called
in the near future. Jess Morton,
manager of the Lexington team,
became very angry at the proposed
change, and threatened to take his
club out of the League if any Lex
ington Sunday games were shifted to
another town.
The Church League game on Han
click Field Wednesday afternoon be-
tween the Presbyterian and Bap-
fist teams developed into smuggling
match, which resulted in the Bap-
lists being routed by the Presbyte-
rians by the score of 10 to 8. The
game was a thrilling one from start
to finish, the features being too un-
merous to give individual mention.
The next games in the series will
be played between the Christians
and the Methodists, on Hancock
Field, this (Friday) afternoon, at
$50 O'Clock. Rogers and Owens
will be the opposing twirlers. Each
team has strengthened their lineup
and a rafting good game is ex-
pected.

Barray sneezed the name OF the
dance, and mid the shouts OF the
company a little slim man with
blue-black hair and eyebrows that
made a straight line across his
face, sprang forward and spun
round and round like a top.
Checking himself suddenly, he
began his strange steps, first
slowly, then gradually speeding in.
to dazzling rushes, punctuated
with cries of "Huss! H.s.ss!" that
stirred the crowd to wild applause.
Ending with a wonderful leap in
the air. feet twinkling, hair a.wave
he brought up before the royal
couple, bowling till his forehead
touched the floor.
He was followed by a tall, slen.
der fellow with great eyes and
longish dark hair-a Persian sculp.
tor. born in poverty, who as a lad
had tended hards on the barren
mountain sides. He took from his
pocket a thin reed pipe aud played
a quaint melody that made the
heart weep-all minor notes and
quaverings. A nightingale turned
human and telling OF its lore.
So the hours sped by, with songs
and dances, jests, buffooneries and
laughes. Half the languages Of the
world were represented. Men and
women from nearly every country
in Europe contributed their art.
1t was wondrous to Polly. And
Polly, with her sweet, responsive
graciousness was wonderful to
them.
