After Dinner Stories

An upstate town prospered so much
during the war that one after another
five new banks appeared upon it's
streets.
When business declined. competition
grew very active. In the scramble, the
only rules were those imposed by ex-
pected visits of the bank examiner.
One day the towns leading manu-
facturer met a friend on the street.
Jim the friend asked, ARE you
doing much business these days with
the Merchants Deposit?''
well, they're after me hard" Jim
replied, land I've got an overdratt

it out. Mobile Register.

any one who mails an important pack

S. L. X.
A Within recent years several cpl

traced to milk. In some Of these cpl
denies it was found possible by pas
teurization to destroy streptOcocci
which were isolated from Threats of in
fected people and which were believed
to be the ineffective agents. Pasteur-
ization, properly performed, seems to
protect against epidemics of this kind,
but until the organism which causes
the disease is definitely known it is
impossible to say that it affords alb
solute protection. Epidemics of scar
let fever have been traced to milk sup
plies, and in such cases pasteurizatiOn

OF PRESIDENT LIN

That the exact burial place of

the boy Lincoln was named, may

disclosed through an investigation
made by the Rev. DR.. William E.

the paternity of Abraham Lincoln,
and author of number of books on
the subject, and R. c. Ballard
Thurston, Louisville historian, who
again visited Long Run. The
church, the party was Informed, was
built over an edge of the cemetery,
covering what was believed to be
the grave of Abraham Lincoln. Sew
eral planks were removed from the
floor of the church, and the ground
beneath the opening examined. The
space between the ground and the
floor of the church was too narrow
to permit of a mans entering it,
and examining the ground on hands
and knees. DR.. Barton concluded
that the area in which the grave of
the elder Liicoln was within a cir
Gle of perhaps fifteen feet, under a
corner of the Long Run Baptist
church.

action on the part of the Board of
Directors. The institution was turn
ed over to James P Lewis, State
Banking Commissioner of Kentucky,
for final adjustment. Mr.. Kreiner
stated to a Danville Advocate re-
porter that the loss sustained as a
result of the Bagby failure had so
crippled the establishment that it
was felt best to close the doors that
an adjustment may be made. The
reporter was unable to discuss the
matter with any of the directors
by whose action the doors were clos.
ed. 1t is to be hoped that the diff
culties may be overcome at once and
the bank opened for business.
The First State Bank was organic
ed in 1901, and has since been doing
a very creditable and satisfactory
business. The deposits have always
been satisfactory and the institution
has been considered very solid.
While the exact facts are not known
at this time, it is believed that all
depositors will be be paid in full
without any trouble whatever.
The Paris friends of Mr.. Kriener
regret that the step taken by the di-
rectors was necessary and hope that
the tangle may be swiftly straight
ened out and business recumed.

AN OPTIMIST'S PRAYER
(Maurice Switzer, in Judge)

(Maurice Switzer, in Judge)
Now I lay me down to sleep
1 pray, o Lord, that You may keep
My constitution free from bile
So I may wake up with a smile.
That pleasantly 1 may proceed
To spread the happy, hopeful creed
That whatsoever may betide
Has somewhere got its brighter side.
That worry never did prevent
The coming of some fell event;
Or if, perchance, we miss the pain,
We've had the worry all in vain.
Endow me, therefore, with the grace
To ever wear smiling face;
And if misfortune comes along,
Oh, let me meet it with a song.
Let not Suspicious poison find
A breeding place within my mind.
To make me wonder if old friends
Are merely serving selfish ends.
If I. unjustly, am absurd,
Or otherwise denied my dues,
Or made the butt of falsehoods vile,
Still let me carry on" and-smile.
If in return for good deeds done,
Ingratitude is all I've won,
Let me not harbor bitterness,
But keep on doing none the less.
To keep me human, now and then,
Please let me sin like other men,
So I may not presume to pass
In judgment on some fellow-ass.
I'd hate it, but shall not whine,
If, Time enlarges much the line
That marks my waist; and though I
care,
shall not mourn the loss Of heir.
My teeth, tits true, I greatly prize,
And, most of all, of course. my eyes;
But one thing more I'd keep-this,
then:
My sense of humor, Lord. Amen!

PROGRAM OF STREET AND ROAD
BUILDING

Summer and early fall will see an
unusually large program of road
and street construction and building
operations under way in Paris and
Bourbon county.
Projects already started or to be
launched soon include extensive
road work throughout the county,
paving of six blocks of Main street,
erection Of an $4,000 high school
building, construction of a nine-hole
golf course by the Bourbon Country
Club, erection Of two brick business
houses in the business section and
scores of private residences in and
near the city.
The city school board has asked
the city council to authorize an $780,
600 bond issue for the erection of a
high school building and gymna-
sum.
Preliminary plans for the new
building call for a two-story brick
building on a lot adjoining the pres
ent high school building. The first
floor would be equipped as a mod
ern school gymnasium and the sec
ond floor would be divided into
twelve large class rooms. The new
building is not to be an addition to
the present building, but a separate
structure some distance from the old
high school building.
The latter building will be turned
over to the grammar grades, thereby
relieving conditions in all the de-
partments by furnishing additional
stdy hall and classroom space for
the grade students.
