WONDER WHAT THE GOV. SAID
AT FRANKFORT?

AS a rest from the burdens and
cares of their official duties, Gov. A.
o. Stanley and Executive Game and
Fish Agent j. Quincy Ward came to
Paris, Wednesday, and went into the
hemp-felds with their heavy artillery
in pursuit of the gentle and elusive
doves. They were guests at the home
of Mr.. D. Hume, where, according to
reports, they had good time. We
don't know what kind of report the
Governor made to the papers in his
"home town." but it was reliably re-
ported here that some of our sports
men, sympathizing with him, pre-
scented him with twelve doves. Al
lowing that the Governor killed
three, was able to get inside the legal
limit by the kindness of the boys"
here.
