We AREN'T A COUNTRY TOWN


What slur to call Paris "Coun-
try TOWN." What a base insinuation
to speak of the Invest wire town in
West Tennessee as a "Village"
Paris society is Mortified. Paris
intelligence is insulted! Paris pride
is dragged in the mire!
When some nincom-pooh in Kala-
mazoo attributes such unflattering
crithets to the home of three COVER
nors and two senators, to the birth
place of Groves Tastefess' and
other famous Paris products, he is
somewhat excusable, but when a
so accepted Paris citizen casts such
insinuations on the best town in the
state he is an alien and he had best
rack his freight
Country towns and villages as
such, are all very well. Personally,
VIC like them, with their plank walks
and dusty streets and oil lamps,
and corner grocery, which is the
postoffice, general store, and social
club combined. After supper in a
country town, one goes straight to
bed. When the train goes thru a
village, everyone PUSHES down to be
in on the big event of the day.
Paris has fourteen passenger trains
daily. Our streets aren't as good as
they are going to be, and some peo-
pie, we are told, do go to bed in
Paris, directly after supper, but
most everyone goes to the picture

The man who doesn't care for the

CLEAN UP FOR HOT WEATHER

BY order of the City Council,
Monday, May 2, has been proclaimed
Cleanup Day in Paris.
Because it is following a more or
less mild winter season, the APP
preaching summer is quite likely to
b.. one of a deal of sickness, and
il is most important that every SAM
tation precaution possible be taken
in advance, so as to ward off as
much illness as is possible.
The announcement of the city
health officer, DIR. A. H. Miller, that
he will be most strict this year in
demanding that all premises be kept
In a sanitary condition, and that he
will expect every residence, store, or
other property to be clean, fumi-
gated, ETC., after May 2, or will
cause the keeper to answer for
same, is most encouraging to COM
plete and thorough cleanup of the
town individually
Now is the time, before the
weather gets severely hot, to swat
the fly, clean and burn up trash,
fumigate, paint and white wash,
ard make ready for the long hot
summer that is prophesied.
Next to disease, fire holds closest
friendship with rubbish pile, and
major portion of the fire waste
OF this country is due solely to I'M
tidy conditions.
Get rid of the winters accumula-
ton of trash next Monday. Do away

Martin. 1t drew a record crowd of
bargain seekers. Naturally, the kid
dies had to go along with ma and

turtle, the parrot and other animals

This play ground, the largest and
most complete in Tennessee. outside
of the large cities, is attracting wide

larger towns of this section, both in
Tennessee and Kentucky, are sending
delegations to Martin to find out
how it was done

Hanlon's direction he became one OF
the greatest in baseball. For years
his average never fell below the $50
mark and he was very fast on the
bases. His all-orund good work was
a big factor in Baltimore's string of
pennants.
While a member of the Orioles he
was surrounded by coterie of stars
who helped to set off his brilliancy.
Hughie Jennings, who now is asso-
ciated with him in the direction of
the Giants and Wilbert Robinson,
manager of the Brooklyns, were
among them.
McGraw and Robinson were sold in
1900 to the st. Louis Club for price
reported to be $4,000 The sale dis
pleased both men.
When the American League invad-
ed the East in T5J0, McGraw was one
of the ablest lieutenants of Ban John
son, the League president. While
they were still in St. Louis, McGraw
and Robinson were plotting to place
an American team in Baltimore. Fl
nally McGraw obtained backing anC
assembled a good ball team. He was
appointed manager of the club which
was a most popular move in Balti
| more and in 1901 there was no staun
cher American leader than John Nc
Graw, now the premier leader of thu
National League.
In 1902 there was an open split be
tween McGraw and johnson. No
only were the Orioles weakened b,
suspensions but many players wer
retired with injuries. McGraw wa
spiked three times in 1902, the las
causing an ugly wound in his knet

NJ GRAW NOW MOST
CONSPICUOUS MAN
IN BASEBALL CAME

New York, Sept. 30-The career OF
John j. McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants, and one Of the
best known men in professional base
ball. stands out as one of the most
interesting in the annals of the ma
tiona sport. McGraw was born at
Truxton, N. Y, on April 7, 1878.
McGraw played his first profess
ional game shortly after he discarded
short trousers. He made such a
reputation around his home town as
a hard-hitted and skillful fielder that
he was recommended to the Olean
team, then in the New York state
team and in the spring of 1890 sign
ed his first baseball contract.
McGraw says he never will forget
the first game he played with Clean.
Although only about 200 fans at
tended he felt more nervous than at
any time in his life. In describing
his first game the popular leader of
the Giants said:
"That first game was one of the
greatest events in my life and | will
remember it always. l was conf
dent Of making good until l went or
the field. Then l was bewildered; il
seemed that there were enough per
sons in the stands to populate thu
state of New York. hoped that thu
batter would not hit the ball to me

the turf. l couldn't move. Finall
it seemed like an age to mel go
started and picked the ball up in m
bare hand but threw it over the frs
baseman's head, in my haste to bea
the runner"
The error lost the game for Nj
Graw's team but it did not discoul
age him. McGraw got $50 mont
for playing with Clean.
After one year with Clean he wei

remuneration was slightly bette

during one game Mutrie watched MS
men in action and remarked: "They

ever since.
Cornelius Van Colt became presl-
dent of the club in 1893, Day having
sold his interests. Mutrie was de-
posed, broken hearted, and John W.
Ward became manager. The team
