GRAND RAPIDS PAPER BOOSTS
PARIS BOY.

Under the caption of "Clyde Nc
Namara Is Once Again In Our Midst, +"
the Grand Rapids, Mich, Herald, of
July 3, publishes the following re-
garding a former Paris boy:
Among those once more in our
midst is ID. Clyde Mcnamara, who
for many year represented the
Gum Company, of Grand Rapids, and
made his home here. During those
good old days Clyde was one of the
most popular of the furniture crowd
in the market.
six years ago Mcnamara went
to Boston, Mass, and still makes that
his home. He is now handling the
Dealers Service Literature of Good
Furniture, and, of course, is getting
away with it. He has a display in
the Farmland Hotel, where all his old
friends are dropping in to renew ac-
Quaintance. Clyde was out of the
Grand Rapids market for some four
years, but he's still as young and fair
as ever, and is welcome guest in the
market"
Mrs. Mcnamara and children are

TO ADDRESS MILLIONS ON ISSUES
OF WAR.

Creation of a semi-official speak
ers' bureau, to address 100000
American people each night on issues
of the war, was announced in Wash
ington by Donald M. Ryerson and
William Mccormick Blair, of Chi
cago, through the Public Informa-
ton Committee. --..--.
Through four-minute speeches to
be delivered each night in practically
every moving picture theatre in the
United States by corps of $4,000
volunteer speakers, the organizers
of the plan hope to make the -four
minute men" a tremendous force in
acquainting the people with the
facts and necessities of war;
The "four-minute men" were or
ganized originally to aid the floating
of the Liberty Loan. Their scope
now has been widened and extended
with a view to using them through
out the war.

HISTORIC BANK BUILDING Al
HARRODSBURG RAZED.

The First National Bank, one of
the most historic landmarks in Har-
rodsburg, is being RACED to make
way for handsome yellow brick
bank structure. The building being
RACED was built by Dennis Haley in
1858, father of Percy Haley, of
Frankfort.
1t was this bank building that Sam
Berry, Sue Munday, Jerome Clark and
their guerrilla band attempted to
raid on October 8, 1854, just two
years after the battle of Perryville.
then cahsier of the bank, and VIM.
Vance, uncle of the late Dr. Ap Nor

iron shutters and door and refusing
to surrender, saved the bank from
being looted, although Colonel Vance,
who was in the building at the time,
offered to indemnify the depositors

gan to arm themselves and they beat
a retreat out Perryville street.
On their way into the town the
guerrillas had captured two Federal
soldiers in the stage coach, which
they held up at the old watering
trough, near Shakertown. They put
the soldiers on the stage horses and
brought them along. When the cit
liens began to fire the horse was shot
from under Jerome Clark. Quick as
flash he killed one of the soldiers
and mounting his horse escaped.
The other soldier broke loose from
the gang at sharp turn in the
street, as they rode madly out of
town, and thus saved his life.
Sam Berry was afterward tried in

FOR EARLY CLOSING.

The suggestion made in Tuesday 3
issue of THE NEWS regarding early
closing by the stores of Paris dur
ing the heated term seems to have
struck a responsive chord in the
bosom of some of the more charita-
bly-inclined merchants, while some
of the mossbacks who regard their
clerks as chattels, to be dealt with
as property instead of humans,
wonder why their clerks could have
the nerve even to consider such a
thing!
How much will any merchant of
Paris lose by giving an hour off of
the end of the days work? Doesn t
it stand to reason that the little
trade they would lose would be more
than made up to them by the sense
of gratitude the clerks would expe-
rience? Wouldn't they come to the
next days work with lighter hearts
and better grace for having been
reminded that they were not ma
chimes?
Let them have an hour to get &C
quainted with themselves, and their
families and friends. And the sell
fish shopper, who has all day in
which to make his or her selections,
should not wait until the day is al
most gone and the tired clerks mad
enough to bite nails. Shop early
and give the clerks a chance.
1t should be concerted move
ment among the merchants. Oh
course there will be some who
wouldn't give clerk fifteen minutes
off a days time, and who might, for
all we know, even begrudge the
time they take off for their noon
luncheon, but they would be awfully
lonesome when the roll would be
called.
Shop early; close early! Be HUI
man, and not so grasping. Life is
short enough, and your collins can
not carry the silver and greenbacks
along the journey into the Land Be-
yond!

THE CHAUTAUQUA.

The second day of the Chautauqua
saw the big tent on the Paris High
School campus comfortably filled
with an audience which appreciated
the program to the very fullest.
In the afternoon Elma B. Smith,
petite, pretty and piquant, to use the
advance mans language, entertained
the audience with delineations Of
child characters. She is wonderful
mimic of children, birds and outdoor
life. She was followed by Judge Lee
S. Estelle, whose lecture, 1.-THE Law,
the Lass and the Lad" was based on
experiences. he had during his long
service as Judge of the Juvenile Court
of Omaha, Neb. Judge Estelle's
lecture was brilliant effort, dealing
with the humane treatment of way
ward boys and girls. The evening
program was composed of Miss Elma
B. Smith, and DR.. L. G.. Herbert,
whose talk on "The Crisis and the
Man." was well received.
The glorious Fourth saw another
gram was made up of the Hinshaw
Opera Co., in the ever-popular comic
opera, 1.-THE Mikado," and DR.. D. D..
Vaughn, both pleasing features of
the afternoon. At night the Hin
shaw Opera Co. presented "The Mi
kado" again to a big audience. Yes
terday's program was an unusually
pleasing one, the Franco-Balkan
Band in a grand concert entertain
ment in the afternoon, and at night
supplemented by a lecture, "The
Mind of a Nation" by Gov. Malcolm
r. Patterson, of Tennessee.
To-day's program will be made up
of The Cambridge Players, and Miss
Belle Kearney, in the afternoon, and
The Cambridge Players, in 1.-The Ri
vals," at night.

A PROSE POEM. IN HONOR OF
EDWARD SIMMS,

The Houston, Texas, Chronicle,
has a special department under
the heading of 1.-THE Chroniclings
of Billy" in which there appears
each issue take-off in the shape
of prose poem regarding some
prominent citizen. In the issue of
June IS, the following tribute to
Mr.. Edward Simms, a former Paris
boy, appears:
1T was many years ago, Jack,
when young Ed Simms said good
bye to his old Kentucky home. He
was a poor boy then and tired of
laying around the place and eating
his fathers groceries. He bundled
up his extras and celluloid collars
into a telescope and plunged into the
big Grass world. He sat in the game
of life with only a few white chips
Now he is setting behind a stack of
blue chips as tall as the Rice Hotel. >
He won riches beyond the dreams
Of avarice, and every dollar that
wings it's way into Ed Simms' pock-
cts is as clean as hounds tooth.
And all through the years that have
separated him from his old Kentucky
home there has nestled one longing
to go back home and to be with the
old boys of the barefooted long ago.
Back in the heart of the busy man
there slept cute little sentiment,
and he made it all come true.
TITS hard to associate sentiment
with millions, but it's in old Ed
Simms, and he just can't help it. It's
there, 1 guess, because he was bred
in old Kentucky, and he went back
to the old place he was born in, to
where his boy feet first learned to
walk, and he threw the reverse gear
into the old story of killing the fat
ted calf for the prodigaps return. He
assembled all the people of his home
county, and killed a herd of fat bull
locks and flock of fat sheep, and
barbecued them, and there was happi.
ness in the land of Kentuck.
There was rejoicing over the boy
who went away and made good, and
his mind was away from business
cares, and his heart was filled with
for the dream of all his
years had been fulfilled. Strange
what queer sentiments creep into the
hearts of the big ones of this world
After all, we're nothing but over
grown children. And he couldn't
make much of speech on that event
'ul day. He just said something like
his: God bless old Kentucky; II
owe her still love all of her stills"

present: Martin, Thomson, Burris,
Redmon, Stephenson, Lloyd, Shrop-
shire and Turner.

BUSINESS AS USUAL.

A suggestion was made that regis
tration day under the recently-en-
acted CONSUMPTION law be known as
Loyalty Day." Every day should
be Loyalty Day" with us all in
this world-war period, and there is
an opportunity for each one to do
his little bit to aid our government
in a successful end of the war.
One of the most easily acces-
sible means of contributing to the
success of the world enterprise is to
lend your efforts along the line of
keeping business as usual
This is an opportunity for us all
to show our loyalty. Concentrate
your effort along the lines of normal
activities, avoid any hysteria in bus
mess and private transactions, and
give your cooperation to the inter-
ests of the citizenship as whole.
Local conditions are excellent,
with the industries of Paris running
to their capacity with all the men
that are available, and yet on the
constant search for more men to keep
pace with the orders that are booked
far ahead.
There is no foundation for bust
ness slack-up in Paris, or in this
immediate territory, and we feel con-
f1dent that effort as usual" will
keep business as usual" Get into
the spirit of keeping things as they
are and better, and you will be rem
dering a patriotic duty which CO.
operation will mean much to our
country's success.
Let's Keep Business AS Usual"
