Dear Uncle and Grandma
Have been SO busy have not had
time to write. We left Great Lakes
Wednesday noon, got to Philadelphia
Thursday evening. We came aboard
the receiving ship Maine soon as we
got here. Part of the draft was trans
ferred to the Sacramento this after
noon. Sail tomorrow. I think the
rest Of us will get out tomorrow or
Monday sure. We thought we would
get the Texas, but didn't.
There are but fourteen battleships,
cruisers and destroyers here now. The
Tennessee, flagship of the reserve feet,
goes out tomorrow. We may go with
her. Well, today Is the day I was to
go home, and here I am sitting by
10 inch gun. writing. They certainly
do things sudden in the navy. II you
want to write right away, send In
care of the receiving ship Maine, Phil
adelphia If I leave before 1t gets
here it will be forwarded.
am beginning to learn the different
decks. A fellow can soon get lost here
if he is a new one. 1t is lots better
on board than at the station; we are
treated lots better. I had nice trip
coming here. We went through the
tall end of the Appalachians, passing
through three tunnels. Everyone along
the line gave us a cheer as we passed.
At Wilkesbarre they heard we were
coming and the whole town met us.
The longest stop we made was twenty
minutes at Buffalo. I have not had
much to do SO far. Was detailed for
mess cook today. Two more COM
panies are due here from Great Lakes
tonight. like it dandy here, but we
are all anxious to go south. Yesterday
one of the ships was coaled, all hands
helped. The band played all the time,
half of the band helped coal, while
the other half played. They were right
across the dock from us. Will close
now and mail this.
Be sure to write soon. Goodbye
and lots of love,
Wanda.

CASH CROW MAKES ESCAPE.

Cash Crow, white, who has figured
in police circles in the city of Paris
on more than one occasion, made his
escape Wednesday afternoon from
the county workhouse, while the
guards were not looking, and has not
been heard from since. Crow was
sentenced to term serving the
county for carrying concealed weap-
ons, and was one of bunch of pris-
oners detailed to do some special
work about the workhouse. Crow
watched his opportunity, and without
giving notice of desire to change
quarters, quietly took French leave"
and faded away like mist in the
night. He made the prediction that
no Jail would ever hold him very long
and that sooner or later he would
escape.
A posse headed by Deputy Sheriffs
Marshall, McCintock and JaileI
Farris Immediately instituted a Wig
orous search of the immediate ter.
ritory that might harbor Crow, but
the bird had evidently flown for good
and could not be located. The search
is still in progress.
While a prisoner in the county
jail a year or so ago Crow made his
escape by scaling the walls. and was
not heard of for along time until he
was located at an army post in Kan
sas. Patrolman Moreland brought
him back.

SCHOOL DAYS
"Schoos Days, School Days, Dear Old
Golden Rule Days"

There was more trading among
the young and rising generation last
Monday and Tuesday in Paris than
was ever before known in two days.
Every old book regardless of grade
was taken to the book store and an
effort made to trade it in for new
ones, and oh, how many disappointed
ones there were when they were
told: mo good here; you will have
to buy new books"
1t is strange, indeed, what differ
ences of opinion children express
when the first day of new term
comes. Some will say they are glad,
others will say they are sorry, for
they do hate to- go to the old school
room again and work "readin', riten'
en- 'rithmetic." After all, however
however young they may be, they ap-
preciate the necessity of securing an
education.
The Paris schools have opened un-
der the most favorable auspices, and
quite a successful term is anticipate
ed. Superintendent Hendricks has
lost no time during his vacation in
arranging for pleasant and profta-
BILE term. The teachers of the vari-
Gus grades have had a good rest, and
with renewed energy and life, they
have taken charge resolved to do
more and better work than on any
previous occasion-and why should
they not?
Now it is up to father and mother
to lend every possible assistance to
the children in their studies and
their ambitions educationally. En-
courage the child-pupils, help them
on with their lessons. Visit the
school occasionally, speak a kind and
encouraging word to the teachers and
you will rejoice at the close of the
term over the advancement of your
children have made. Remember
when your child comes home and
orders new books that it's not the
teachers fault, but the law-making
body of the State.

KENTUCKY LOOKS
GOOD TO THEM.

After an exciting and enforced res
war conditions and the inability to
secure funds for a while, Mr. and
Mrs. James Thompson and Mr.. James
Thompson, Jr., who have been en-
tour in Europe for several months,
left Venice by way of Paris, France,
and sailed from Liverpool on the
Steamer Laconia on Sept 1, arriving
in Boston on last Tuesday, the 9Th.
After a short stay in the Hub in
order to rest up the party resumed
its journey and arrived here last
night, prOuder than ever of the State
and glad to be again in old Ken
lucky home, far from wars alarms
and the discOmfOrtS of foreign travel.
On the homeward journey the party
came though Paris, France, which
they described as being practically
deserted save for the tramping
thousands of soldiery going to the
various Notifications around the
beleagured city, the returning hun
dreds Of sick and wounded soldiers,
been left to themselves when their
protectors were taken to the front.
Their journey from Liverpool to
Boston was without any untoward
incident, but when they set their
feet firmly once more upon American
soil they felt the thrill that none but
the returning traveller can ever ex-
perience.
No mention was made of the where
abouts of Mrs. Sidney G. Clay and
daughter, Miss Alice Rogers Clay,
but the presumption is that they are
safely in neutral territory, and will
remain until their tour is completed.

act as guardian of q minor, the case
between Miss Margaret Doyle, of
Lexington, and Mrs. Nellie Herrick
Harvey, of Lewisville, Arkansas, for
merly of Paris, which came up in

interesting features.

ger conductor, who died some months

Mrs. Herrick died shortly after the
appointment was made, and before
her death her daughter, Mrs. Nellie
Herrick Harvey, now resident OF
Lewisville, Arkansas, but who was
here with her mother, was appoint
ed guardian and custodian of the per-
son of the child in place Of the
childs grandmother.
AS a nonresident cannot act, as
guardian, Miss Margaret Doyle, OF

mother, asked that she be appoint
ed. The request was opposed by
Mrs. Harvey, sister of the child's ia
Their.
