IN MISSOURI POLITICS.

Former Partisan James B. Fee,
now engaged in ranching near Mer-
RAM, Kansas, sends THE NEWS
copies of recent issues of The Kansas
City Star, one of the Vests greatest
dailies, which contain much news Of
general interest to Paris and Bour-
bon county people.
One of the papers contains feat
ure story concerning Mr.. Matt
Flynn, former resident of Cynthi-
ana, who is now City Comptroller
of Kansas City. The story was one
telling of the wonderful proves Of
a bulldog owned by Flynn, when he
was resident of Cynthiana. The
dog licked everything in the animal
kingdom in Harrison county until
one day along came just an onery,
everyday old cur, who gave Mr..
Bulldog the fight of his life and cow
ed him completely.
Mr.. Flynn is close personal
friend of Squire Thos. Woods, of
Paris. When the story was shown
to Mr.. Woods he said: That's Matt
Flynn all right. Rather see a dog
fight or hold political Office than
eat"

THERE'S HOPE FOR SOME OF
US YET!

Some of the worlds most famous

what has been aptly or inaptly term

them have risen to great heights in
the. political or business world, and
not one has ever been known to re-

There is hope for some of us here
in Paris yet. Circuit Clerk Will H.
Webb began life as a newsboy, and
now comes Mayor e. B. January as
a. former newsboy. The Courier
Journal of Friday, has an excellent
half-tone cut of His Honor, accom-
panied by the following sketch:

popular men in the State to-day is

Paris He is typical self-made
man. Through the death of his par
ents Mr.. January was thrown upon
his own resources when quite young,
and despite many obstacles he has
risen to a place of power in his own
community and has large circle OF
friends throughout the State. Foo
many years he has been one of the
leading officials in Odd Fellows cir
Giles, and was instrumental in secur-
ing the Home for INDECENT Odd Fell
lows and their widows at Eminence,
KY. He served as Police Judge of
Paris for two terms. and last August
at the Democratic primary carried
every precinct in the city but one
in his race for the nomination for
Mayor. The first money he ever
made, and which constituted his
start in life, was selling the Louis
willie Journal containing an account
of the assassination of President
Lincoln, which he says sold like
hot cakes" at 81 each. Since taking
the Office of Mayor last January.
Mr.. January has instituted a num-
