PARIS-—No reply to the latest German reparations proposals was considered necessary so far as France was oni'erned; it was stated at the Foreign Office here Mon- ^v, but if the Allies desire to improve the opporunity to w ume the general discussion of the reparations question, 'ranee is ready. A reply to German’s proposals by the Allies in com- gon is held in official circles as requiring probably sev- tra ! weeks negotiations, because of the impossibility of their uniting in an answer until they themselves had ronte an agreement. pry f-w opinions woro express j by officials here and those who: ,ld give opinions tempered them „ tie rather general In their COURT HOLDS 15 YEAR8 TOO LONG FOR A “VISIT* SAN FRANCISCO.— Fifteen years it more than enough time for a husband to await the re turn of his wife from a visit to her native land, is the opinion of Judge Thomas F.

Everyone Delighted With Success of Market Prov ed Its Usefulness, Says Business Men and Wo men. ty site, hml owing to its impor tance a, • business center and railroad, the impression waa that the court home waa In danger of removal from Lexington. The first act of young McWhorter, with the kid of several other citizens, in cluding Sam Lumpkin. W. G. Johnson and others, was to'go to work and have a new brick jail built. That the county needed a modern and more civilised prison no one could dispute. The com- misisonera were favorable to Lex ington, and before the opposition hsd time to enter a protest the contract for the jail, now in use, was given out. This waa a strong point in favor of Lexington re maining the county aite. for the taxpayers would never consent to have that coatly building abandon- The next move of McWhorter was to go to work and secure a new court house, the present build ing. This expense created a huwl in certain quarters, but it did no good and the completion of that structure practically nailed down the court house in Lexington, no further talk was heard of its re moval.
