Those excellent Ncwbcrry papers
are having such q run OF advertise
monts that the overflow has to be tul

NeWDcrry merchants. like our Lau-
rens merchants, appreciate the value
OF advertising and do not mind paying
the money for it.
The City Fathers arc considering
the matter Of making a yearly appro-
priation for the support Of a library
\ fund for the erection of library
building can be secured from the
Carnegie Foundation on condition that
the city make an annual appropriation
TO support it. The benefits o. pub
ne library, where every citizen, no
matter how humble, can have access
TO il, cannot be ovcr-estimatcd and the
councilmcn should be ENCOURAGED to
provide such an asset. 1t would re-
quire almost a negligible increase in
the tax levy, but as the benefits would
oe so far-reaching we do not believe
that any considerable proportion of
the people would object to it. 1t
would be good idea if those who en-
dorse the idea would speak to the
councllmen, so that they may feel that
they have the public's support in the
matter.

CONVENIENCES
EdgemOnt Is Provided With Every I'm
prOvpment That Can BE Found In
Any Section Of Maysyille.

The success of a subdivision de-
Ponds on the character of the home
owners, the healthfulness of the loca-
ton and the supplying of every mod
ern convenience. Owing to the topo-
graphy of Maysville, the public service
corporations have never extended
their lines beyond the city limits.
When the new subdivision was plan
ned, 1t was necessary for the promo
tors to provide these conveniences at
their own expense. 1t was announced
at the opening of the property, and
that promise has been carried out, that
upon the completion of the water, gas
and electric systems. those properties
would not be retained by the promo
tors, but would be turned over to trus-
tees, fully paid for, for the use and
benefit of those who might desire to
dwell on Edgemont.
No expense has been spared to make
these conveniences perfect. The Mays
vile Gas Co. installed the gas line
and delivers gas to the Edgemont main
at the same rate now charged, or
which may hereafter be charged Mays
vile consumers, rendering the month";
ly account to each consumer in t1e
same manner and on the same terms
as are given down town users.
Water is taken for the whole of
Edgemont from the mains as they
leave the city reservoir, under the
meter system. be given to the con-
sumers of similar quantities of water.

system by an automatic, electrically
driven pump and supplied to the Edge
mont consumers. Any profit, If made,
will be used by the trustees in the I'M
provement of the grounds.

caused by the armed guards on the

trouble with the workers before this
time and their leaders told me that
they would be amenable to our Of
fcers.
Eye witnesses have told me 1t was
