JUDGE WHITAKER ROBBED

Again the hand of thief falls on
the Police Department. Police Judge
John L. Whitaker is the victim this
time. Mary Hawkins, colored, of Aber-
deem, had been employed in the home
of the Judge as a maid and was dis
charged on account of incompetence
Several days later Mrs. Whitaker
found that several blankets had dis
appeared, one of them very valuable
one having been presented to the judge
by his mother. The Judges grand
daughter also missed a gold handle
umbrella. On Friday evening while
walking on the street the young lady
saw the negress and noticed that she
had her umbrella. She reported the
matter to the police and the woman
was arrested as she was preparing to
go to her home in Aberdeen. She was
released on bond by Squire Bauer and
will probably be given trial today

MOTION PICTURE
"The Romance Of Miss MaysvllIe" To
BE Presented In This City by Local
People and Presented on the
Screen at the Washington
Opera House.

"The Romance of Miss Maysvllle'
will be the title Of a picture to be
filmed in this city and shown on the
screen Of the Washington Opera House
in the near future. Plans have been
made for the production of such pic
ture
The Maysville Chamber of Commerce
has decided that such a picture would
be a great. thing for the city as II
would be probably shown in a great
number of the neighboring towns and
thus advertise Maysville, and Maysville
people.
A representative of the Parfait Cine
mograph Co. of Dayton, Ohio, was in
the city Sunday preparing for the pic
ture. The picture will be taken on
the streets and in the homes of Mays
VILE and all of the parts will be taken
by Maysville people. 1t will be the
most Maysville" picture ever thrown
on the local screens.
Announcements will be made later
inregard to the character of the play
and the cast of characters. AS soon
as the picture has been taken it will
be developed and then brought her for
three nights stay at the Opera House

To the Public:-
 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 50@o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re. quirements of the Camp.
 If you have an order to be filled, let us figure on it; we can save you money. We have proved 1t oo others, we can prove it to you.
