A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS
EDITION.

The Ledger takes much pleasure in
presenting to its many readers and the
public generally, both in Maysville and
away from here, this Industrial Edi-
ton
For some time past our special rep
resentative, a man who has had years
of experience in the business, has spent
all his time in soliciting, obtaining
data. procuring photographs and cuts
and preparing the articles, and we are
pleased to say that not one statement
or promise made by him but what has
been carried out in every particular.
The Ledger desires now to thank
the many representative and progress
sive business and professional people
whose names appear in this paper for
the support given us, for to their in
terest and liberality is due in great
measure the credit for the edition.
OF course there were some who
were opposed to the publication, and
others who for various reasons of their
own, and to which they are entitled,
are not represented. To these we
feel as kindly as though they had
taken million copies each. But in
every instance, whether interested or
not, our representative received only
the most courteous treatment from
every one.
Well, the edition is published, and
is one to be proud of. Now 1t is up to
you to send the papers broadcast and
so create an interest in Maysville from
the outside world.

the city, operating night and day cars,
with a commuters fare of two and a
half and three cents. The police de-
partment is efficient and the fire de-
partment excellent The city officials
are men every one of whom is deeply
interested in the future of Maysville,
and are pledged, without regard to
party politics, to do all in their power
to make Maysyile larger and a bet
ter city.
There are many miles of wellpaved
streets, sidewalks of cement and stone,
and convenient alleys, while the road
way approaches to the city compare
fayorably with any in the State.

CHURCHES OF MAYSvILLE
Our Religious Organizations.

The spiritual welfare of Maysville is
taken care of by Churches of the fol-
lowing denominations: Baptist, Pres.
byterian, Christian, Methodist, Episco-
pal, Roman Catholic, German Luz
theran and several colored denomina--
tions. The Church buildings are in
the main large and commodious.
That great interest is manifested in
all the religious services as well as in
the work of the numerous auxiliary
societies, and that the various Pastors
are earnest workers in the cause, is
evident from the high moral tone Of
the city. Maysville is particularly free.
from the rougher element, and crimes
of any description are rare indeed,
and this condition is undoubtedly due.
in great measure to the good influ-
ences which radiate in all directions
from our religious organizations.

While the improvements in Mays

been substantial, and the citizens are
ever ready to grasp and push to a sue

The Board of Education and Superin-

of pupils and every facility is afforded
them to obtain a city High School ed

With the same school enumeration
within the past two years the enroll

necessary the employment of three
additional teachers. This increase in

on the river front near what is now
Market street. The first school that
was established in Maysville that we
have any knowledge of was in the
summer of 1890, and was held in a
rough log cabin. The town and coun-
try were then sparsely settled and
the scholars few and far between.
The building was built OF round logs
and covered with clapboards, and was
about sixteen feet square. One half
of the floor was covered with panks

in hand, completed the furniture of
the school.
1t Is to be regretted that for many
years the educational facilities of
Maysville-as well as a great portion
of the entire State of Kentucky-con-
tinued in a very primitive condition,
and 1t may be truthfully said that only
within the past five or six years have
really radical changes been made in
our city school system During this
period, however, and particularly In

twenty-three years old, reached here
on the evening of June /, 1890, on an

Among the many advantages of
Maysvile are low taxes, low rents, ex-
cellent factory sites, no sympathetic
strikes, healthful residence locations,
excellent educational facilities, many
Churches, and Incompatible shipping
accommodations, both by rail and
water.
But few cities have such beautifully
shaded streets, the trees bordering
them lending a most peaceful and
home-ike appearance.

usefulness and respect, and should
perchance any of the many pupils who
are now attending the Maysville
schools ever fall from the paths of
rectitude they can never lay the
blame to any lack of interest mani
tested in them by Superintendent
Bradner and his corps Of conscientious
assistants.
The early history of the Maysville
schools is shrouded in uncertainty, as
is the history of all institutions Of
long standing where no attempt has
been made to keep an official record.

the enrolment has been brought about
in great measure by the influence of
the new school buildings, strengthen

CLOSE DEAL
FORL0CAT|ON
Of PLANT

Gostlin. Meyn & Co. today closed the
deal for the sale of several acres of
ground to the S. G. Taylor Chain COM
pany. and the work of constructing a
$4,000 plant that will employ $50 men
will begin at once.
The company is the best known
chain company in the country and
makes a speciality of manufacturing
the kind of chain that is used by the
government in the Panama canal. The
government also buys large quantity
of this chain for use of battleships
Two plants will be consolidated in
Hammond, the Chicago and the Max
well (Ind.) plants. Senator William H.
Gostlin used the Taylor chains when
he was in the dredging business in
Hammond years ago.
S. G. Taylor is a Chicago alderman
and prominent politician. He is the
chairman of the building committee
of the council. He and his associates
were advised by Gostlin, Meyn & Co
to look over the entire region, and aft
er doing so were so pleased with the
advantages of Hammond that they To-
Gated here.
A number of other small concerns
are looking towards hammond, and it
is said that there is good prospect
of locating several of them The first
news that the Taylor Chain company
was to be located in Hammond was
made public by THE TIMES several days
ago.
The location of this concern is in line
with the policy of the Hammond bust
ness men to locate as many small con-
Germs here as possible. The location
of this concern adds to the diverity
of the products that are manufactured
here The market is such that the
prosperity of the concern will not be
affected by hard times
