BOURBON MAN CANDIDATE IN
FAYETTE COUNTY

The candidacy of Frank L. McCar-
thy, of Lexington, for County Attor-
ney, of Fayette, has a decided inter-
est to the people of Paris, from the
fact that Mr.. Mccarthy is a native
of this city.
The son of the late p. I. Mccarthy,
for years Cashier of the Deposit Bank,
and one of the best-known business
men in Paris, Mr.. Mccarthy inner
tied from his father a mind fully
capable of tackling big problems,
whether OF a financial or legal ma
ture. He received his early educa-
tion in the Paris schools, ably sup
plemented by the private tutoring
given by his father, whose master
mind carefully tended every avenue
of learning for his son. Afterward
successfully passing the high educa-
tional standards at Pennsylvania Col
lege he attended Yale University
where his native genius soon assert
ed itself in rapid advancement in all
branches Of collegiate work until he
reached the pinnacle, graduating
with high honors. He served his
country during the years of the
great wOrld-war, and there, as In
other lines of human endeavor, he
was in the forefront. Returning to
Lexington, he began the practice of
law, in which he has attained high
mark of success. Mr.. Mccarthy is an
orator of the natural unaffected type.
eloquent, persuasive, convincing, and
with a thorough knowledge of what
is before him in every problem he
undertakes to solve.
He has large circle of devoted
friends in Paris, who are heart and
soul with him in his candidacy, only
regretting they cannot aid him with
their votes. If wishing and hoping
will get the nomination for Mr.. Nc
Carthy, there's a string Of them as
long as the moral law available in
Paris. Here's hoping!

ate development of parks and play

lures for all the people of Paris. 1t

rectors for these will be chosen out

some park sites which can be used,
as recreation place for adults, as
well as children. The committee In
charge of this work propose to get
the city rock quarry in shape for a
fine athletic field within the next six
months or year. This will make one
of the most valuable assets to the
city because of it's proximity to the
City School.
A committee was chosen to have
charge of carrying these plans out as
rapidly as possible. DR.. M. H. Daley,
A. B. Hancock, Miss Lucy B. Simms,
Catesby w. Spears, Judge Denis Dun
don, =. 81. Corey are the members Of
this committee. To further the above
plans q meeting will be held in the

the children and youth of Paris a
chance to play and enjoy more of life,

tending the meeting Monday night.
Come out and you can have a share
in making Paris better place for all
of us to live in. This is our job and
we can do it.

NOTED TRAVELLER VISITS PARIS

Few knew of, the presence in the city
OF Jen Davis, known the world over
as king of The Hoboes," a title be-
slowed on him by the Cincinnati En-
qulrer. MIR. Davis was here for a few
hours in the interest of the Saliva
ton Army, with which he has been
working for, some time, and was the

being introduced by the master-of-
ceremonies, Roxie Davis.
Mr.. Davis is one of the most unique
characters in the world to-day. He
has addressed over two hundred Ro-
tary Clubs and business organiza-
lions 1nnumerable throughout the
United States, and has been welcomed
everywhere. He was given the title.
king OF The HobOes," by reason of
his peerless peripatetic performan-
ces. He is anything but a hobo. He
has travelled over 100000 miles in
twenty-three years-an average of
103 miles every working day in that
time-fOur times around the world
sixty times across the United
States, and he admits that many days
were not working days. He was born
in the noted Mike Mullen's ward in
Cincinnati, and has been there often
enough to work on the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and to acquire a wife and
two children, the latter now sixteen
and seventeen years of age.
Davis claims that he never attend
ed school, but that his children have
told him a lot about it on his quad
lrennial hOming trips. Most of his me-
dunn of exchange has been from do
ing hearth and home stories for
daily papers. Between times he is
writing "Bradstreet's of the Sub
Basement" or who's Who In The
Underworld" Incidentally he has
sold over $1O,O00,0O0 worth of Lib
erty Bonds, being second only to
Douglass Fairbanks. Clarifying the
hobo, he appears deeply concerned In
keeping folks at hOme-having kept
singularly free from labor, he takes
! himself seriously on the labor ques-
ton. But he is an artist, poet, a
singer of light song. His philosophy
many not be holeproof. but the man
who does not get new power impul-
, ses from jeff Davis, King of The
Hoboes, we'll, he is soul proof. He is
one of the most unique characters in
the United States to-day. His fervOr
and eloquence in the cause of the
Salvation Army, and humanity gen.
orally, are only surpassed by his wit,
sparkling humor, his knowledge Of
the world and his faith and love fol
humanity.
Himself Catholic, he is donat.
ing his time and paying his own ex-
penses in his efforts to assist the Sal
walton Army, because, as he told THE
NEWS man, wherever he has been, in
his four and one-half trips around
the whole world, he has found the
Salvationists there beating the drum
and cymbals and doing world OF
good to Catholics and PrOtestants
Jew and Gentle alike. Mr.. Davis
promised to make a visit to Paris in
the near future and give a talk in
! the interest of the Salvation Army
and when he does come the people
of Paris will be treated to genuine
surprise.
