COUNTY COMMITTEES TO AID
SOLDIERS MEMORIAL.
Just as the graves of tlie Confed
erate and the Mexican veterans in
the Paris Cemetery have been mark
ed with appropriate memorial, so will
the mefmory of Bourbon county's
dead in the recently-ended world war
ed with approprite memorials so will
A movement has been inaugurated
here, and has gTown to considerable
proportions, to form an association
composed of the families and the
near relatives of those Bourbon boy
who have given their lives to the
cause of Democracy, the principal
object of which is to purchase a lot
an the Paris Cemetery. After the
peace articles have been signed and
the bodies of the men who have been
killed in action "over there" have
returned to their native land, it is
proposed that they be interred in one
last resting place and their graves
marked by an imposing memorial,
the nature of which has not been as
yet definitely decided. The project?
lias met wih unqualified approval of
almost everyone in tne city and
county. A fund started for that pur
pose some time ago has grown to
large proportions. The originator of
the project, a man who has himself
suffered the loss of one dear to him
said:
'I know-it to be a fact that there
are families -in Bourbon county who
have lost a member of their family
in, the war for freedqtn who are
financially unable to erect over the
body of their loved one a lasting
monument typical of their love and
devotion. It is for those I would like
to see this project brought to a suc
cessful conclusion. While my family
and others who have suffered loss
might be able to erect a monument
in their family lot, there are a num
ber who cannot, many of them not
being even . able to purchase a lot,
the consequence being that their sol
dier dead would have to be in a
single grave, perhaps in-sopie remote
corner of the cemetery, with nothing
to show that beneath the mound of
earth reposed, the remains of one
who gave his life for His country
With the project I have mentioned it
will be possible to give each one of
therave boys who have given their
all equal, recognition, hoth as to
their last resting place and the In-'
scription on tfae-m-emorfai.'' --

OUR NEW YEAR GREElTINGS
"Grateful heart now oyeflow
With the gladness that they know.
Love and laughter now surround us;
God with victory has crowned us."
The white clean sheet for a New
Year will be turned to-morrow, and
THE NEWS wishes that it and all
the years to come after may be free
from the record of battle disaster,
loss and sorrow, which 1918 has
known, and reconstruction make
such progress and such successful
strides that soon the cruel scars will
be obliterated and the world go along
a" sunny track, blithely and un
afraid. We have lived through a most won
derful year. We have seen the. cli
max and the swift dramat
ic denouement of the most
tremendous of wars. We have
seen our own armies fighting
victoriously on the age-old battle
ilelds of France. We have gloried in
the defeat of a most audacious at
tempt to gain the empire of the
world. We have watched throne af
ter throne totter and fall and the old
political add social order of Europe
crumble, in the dust. A dozen great
events, any one of which would make
a year memorable have been crowded
Into the last twelve months.
With the return of peace and nor
mal business conditions we all have
room in our hearts for thankfulness.
THE NEWS tenders to its friends
and patrons its sincere thanks for
generous patronge.
May you each and everyone be
blessed with prosperity in the New
Year of 1919, and smay it prove in
every way a Happy New Year to all.
