MISS MAGUIRE NOT TO BE A CAN
DIDATE.

Miss Frances Folsom Mcguire, of
Lexington, who was a member of the
Paris High School faculty some years
ago, has declined to make the race
for County School Superintendent of
Fayette county on the Citizens ticket
against the Democratic nominee, Mrs.
Mamie G. Faulconer.
Miss Mcguire made phenomenal
race in the primary, against Mrs.
Faulconer, being defeated by only a
slender margin. She declines to make
the race against her successful oppo-
nent, giving as her reason that she is
too good a Democrat, and that she
cannot go through the physical strain
of another campaign. Miss Mcguire
recently accepted the position as
principal of the Millersburg Graded
School.
Miss Mcguire has a host of friends
here, who warmly commend the stand
she has taken in this matter, and who
hope that her reward may be sure
and certain should she again seek the
Office.

CAPT. WINN PROMOTED TO RANK
OF MAJOR.

A deserved promotion has come in
military sense to Capt. Charles P.
VIM, who is a graduate of the U.
3. Military Academy at West Point.
When the Spanish-American War was
/; declared, Capt. Winn, who was in
business in Paris, was placed in COM
mand of Co. I. Second Kentucky Reg
1ment, recruited from Bourbon coun-
ty. After the close of the war Capt.
Winn reenlisted in the service, and
spent several years in the Philippines.
Returning to America he was assign
ed to an important command at an
army post in Maine. From there he
was transferred to Newcastle, New
Hampshire, where he remained sew
eral years.
A few days ago he was notified of
his promotion to the rank of Major in
the Field Artillery branch of the SER
vice. He has been assigned to duty
at Ayre, Mass, where he will be sta
toned until further orders.
Major Winn has won marked dis
tinction in military service. His
rapid promotion attests his gallantry
and efficient service. His many friends
in Paris are gratified to hear of the
honor conferred upon him, and hopes
he may yet attain higher rank.

RESERVE YOUR JUDGMENT.

In our humple opinion, no set of
men have had greater responsibility
upon them than the members of the
local exemption board, DR.. Silas
Evans, Sheriff w. F.. Talbot and
County Clerk Pearce Patton. Thew
were virtually called upon to say lust
VINO shall and who shall not respond
to the country's call for army service.
In performing this service it was
but natural that their decisions
should not meet with universal ap-
prevail, and natural that there should
be some dissatisfied ones. as there
were no two cases alike, and all peo-
pie do not see alike. 1t is therefore
highly proper that the public be care
ful In criticising the members of the
BOARD or their decisions, at least un-
I'll all the facts are known. Under
the law these rulings are subject to
recall and all those who have been
discharged stand automatically an
pealed in behalf of the government.
No one wants to see any particular
person go into the army service. vet
tnls war must be won, and in order
to win it we must have men. 1t is
therefore absolutely necessary that
Bourbon county furnish it's propor-
Tomato part, and those who have no
real dependents, or whose families
would have means of sustaining them
selves in the absence of the regis
trant, and who are found physically
mt, must, in our judgment, be the
first ones called.

HELD TO GRAND JURY ON MUIR
DER CHARGE.

In Judge McMillan's Court, Satur-
day, Henry Hawkins, colored, who
assaulted and badly beat a negro wo-
man named Sarah Leer, near Clays-
vile, some weeks ago, was arraigned
on charge of murder, and held over
without bail to appear before the
grand jury at the next term of the
Bourbon Circuit Court.
The Leer woman died in a Licking
ton hospital as result of the brutal
beating at the hands of Hawkins.
The charge against her assailant was
accordingly changed to murder.
An inquest was held by Coroner
Rudolph Davis, the investigation re-
vealing substantially the injuries as
reported in previous issues of THE
NEWS. The body was buried in
Lexington, as no relatives could be
found to take charge of it.

FORMER PARTISAN FINED FOR
VIOLATING DOVE LAW,

Charged with violating the State
game laws by shooting doves out of
the regular season, Warren Stoner,
formerly of Paris, and his companion,
James L. Ewing, were placed under
arrest Saturday near Owingsville by
Special Deputy Game Warden Bush
Bishop, of Paris. The men were also
charged with hunting without hav-
ing the required hunters license. A
warrant was also issued for Stoner
on a charge Of using insulting and
abusive language. They were taken
before U. S. Commissioner Wood at
Mt. Sterling for trial. Stoner was
fined $40 and costs and Ewing $40
and costs.
Looks like rather expensive sport,
doesn't it? There is one thing GER
tain the State Game Warden and
force of deputies intend to prosecute
all such violators of the game laws to
the very limit.

IS kid" KIDDING ABOUT WIN
CHESTER DEAL?

A recent issue of the Winchester
Daily Democrat has the following re-
garding the recent visit there of Mr..
Leer Stout, of Paris, who, according
to the Democrat, is seeking to branch
out in the restaurant business:
"Leer Kid Stout, the prominent
Paris restaurateur, was a visitor in
Winchester, Thursday, coming here
to look over the field with the view of
opening up first class restaurant in
this city. Mr.. Stout, who has been in
business in Paris for number of
years has attained quite reputation
and the great possibilities offered by
Winchester has caused him to center
his attention on this city to embark
in business.
Mr. Stout said he had received a
number of inquiries from Winchester
people in regard to the possibility Of
his being induced to come here to
during the past few weeks business
men from this city had been urging
him to open up business here. In
response to the earnest solicitation he
came here to look for location and
confer with a number of business
people.
eff Mr.. Stout should decide to open
restaurant here it will be along the
line of the one he is now conducting
in Paris and will operate them in one
connection. This was his first visit to
the city in several years and he was
very much impressed with the pro-
gressive spirit that has resulted in SO
many public improvements and the
rapid strides the city has made in a
commercial way"

The increased size of the two Of
