CANDIDATES FOR STATE SENA
TOR LOOMING UP.
A number of Bourbon county
Democrats have issued a call on
John T. Collins, of the North Mid
dletown precinct, and at present
resident of Paris, to become a can
didate for State Senator to repre
sent the district composed of Bour
bon, Clark and Montgomery. This
honor is at present held by George
Hon, of Winchester, who served in
ihe recent session of the Legislature
at Frankfort.
It has become the custom in late
years to alternate the honor of rep
lesenting this Senatorial District,
which will bring it this time to
Bourbon county. Montgomery coun
ty furnished an incumbent of the
office in the person of Hon. Will
Clay, of Mt. Sterling.
The call on Mr. Collins is but
ihe forerunner of others to follow,
as several prominent Democrats who
have served their party well and
faithfully will probably come into
the limelight. It's a little too soon
to make a choice, and there's plenty
of time in w.hich to enter the
starter1;.

PAINT-UP, CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN
IN FORCE.
Although the weather yesterday
began threateningly it did not deter
the initial work of the Clean-Up
campaign, which has been designat
eded for this week by official State
proclamation, supplemented by proc
lamation issued by Mayor E. B. Jan
uary. According to these proclama.-
tions the week of April 12 to 17, has
been so designated. All the citizens
of Paris, white and black, rich and
poor, old and young, are expected to
join the drive against the common
enemy, dirt and filth, and rubbish of
all kinds, so that flies, mosquitoes,
disease and death may not follow in
their wake, as is inevitable, unless
the campaign is made a thoroughly
effective one.
The idea is to make Paris a safe
and sanitary place to live "in, and if
each citizen wili do his or her part,
the success of the movement is as
sured. Each one must resolve him
self or herself into a committee ot
one and see to it that individual
premises are relieved of dirt and
rubbish. After the premises have
been thoroughly cleaned up and
made more sanitary, paint and
whitewash will go a long way to
ward disinfecting- buildings and
outhouses and making them more
attractive and neater-looking. The
city carts and wagons will attend to
hauling away the accumulated
tiash, on Wednesday aid Thursday,
provided it is placed where the driv
ers can conveniently get to it.
Otherwise they will not make a sec
ond trip for that purpose.
BOURBON MEN CONTEST FOR
PISHING CHAMPIONSHIP
For several Winters Jos. W. Davis
and Dr. M. H. Dailey, of Paris, have
been rivals on their Florida vaca
tions, in striving for the title of
championship fisherman from Bour
ton county. Many of the largest
specimens of the finny tribe have
fallen victims to their skill and the
marvelous tales they have told of
their experiences in vthe pursuit of
big fish have entertained their
friends. i
Now, it seems that the title is to
be disputed by John T. Collins and
Squire John J. Redmon, as told in
the following letter, to Mr. Davifa
from George Sehon, Superintendent
of the Kentucky Children's Home,
at Louisville:
"Hon. Joe .Davis,
"Paris, Kentucky,
"Dear Friend: l'am satisfied you
have just received a tin type picture
cf fish supposed to have been
caught by John Redmon and John
Collins. This is the most heterogen
ous camouflage I have ever seen.
For" instance, they have several
lish that never bite at a line and
you can imagine two fishermen go
ing out? and catching croakers, and
balloon fish, and several other type
not recognized by Florida fishermen.
"I have written them to-day tell
ing them the picture they sent waj
created for novices and that the
Fame picture, with the same fish has
been taken thousands of times. I
have sent them a strong letter tell
ing them to catch a few fish for
themselves and have their own fish
taken, I hope you will bless them
out.
"I feel sure th'ey will send this
picture to people all over Bourbon
county, where their characters are
known and dozens of people will be
lieve the fish are real. If you and
I had been out fishing, do you think
Ave would string the little fish and
big fish together and put the large
fish on the two bottom lines? In
other words, fishermen string figh
-he same size together. I hope you
will write them at once and roast
them, foi I do not want them to
think they can palm off such a
camouflage on us.
"I am enclosing, you my picture,
for fear you have not received one
up to date. Please do not let an
hour pass before you write them.
."Please hold the picture for me,
sacredly, as I want to use it at the
fish fry.
"Yours very sincerely,
"GEORGE SEHON,
"Superintendent."
