Irish American.
FRANKFORT, Sept 2S.-During the
past week Frankfort has taken ON an air
of hustle and activity usually found in
large cities like Shelbyville, the home of
the brilliant nom de plume writer who
takes especial pride in concealing his
identity from the long-suffering readers
of the Kentucky Irish American. who are
forced at regular intervals to wade through
a column or two of would-be "funny"
paragraphs that would probably be given
space in London Punch or some other
comic journal where density of meaning
is considered a qualification of merit.
Miniature business houses have sprung
up all over the city and beautifully deco
rated booths may be found in abundance
OIL Broadway, Main and St. Clair streets.
Committees in charge have gone to great
expense and are fully prepared to enter
tain the visitors from Louisville, Lexing-
ton aud other Kentucky cities.
A cordial invitation is extended by the
local division of Hibernians to Irishmen
throughout the State, who will see tina:

side of every door and all are invited to

Order of Hibernians will move to larger
