PASTOR RESIGNS


Rev. n. r. Jones. pastor OF the
First Baptist Church at Dayton, KY,
rendered his resignation from the pas
torate of that church at a meeting
held Wednesday. The resignation
goes into effect the last Sunday in
September.
Rev. Jones has received a call from.
the First Baptist Church of this city
and by his resignation II is supposed
that he will accept the pastorate of
this church. He will preach here Sun
day morning, but will be unable to
stay for the evening service. II is
said that he is favorably impressed
by the Maysville field, the opportuni-
ties being very great here.
Rev. Jones has been urged to devote
his entire time to evangelistic work,
with Rev. David w. Hughes, of New
port, KY. as soloist and chorus d.
rector. This team would be a strong
one as they have conducted several
REVEALS together. They conducted a
most successful revival in the First
Baptist Church Of this city two years
ago and all were impressed greatly
by these two men.
The final outcome OF the matter will
not be known for some time probably
but all are hoping that Rev. Jones
will accept the call to the Maysville
Church.

BIG RIVER EXPECTED

The local rivermen are expecting a
big river within the next few days.
They say that the river will go to
twenty-five feet probably. This will
shut down all work at the dam for two
weeks or more and will set back the
work a great deal. The cofferdam Is
flooded at a stage OF about seventeen
feet. Preparations will probably be
made today for the high water. The
Kanawha River in West Virginia has
reached stage of fifty feet caused by
the heavy rains. However these re-
ports are unofficial and nothing def
mite can be learned until the Federal
Government issues warning.

ALICE NIELSEN
The Noted Soprano VIII Return to
Maysvllle About the First Of Sep
TENDER 20 Fill Her Engage
ment--Exact Date to Be
Announced Later.

Secretary Thomas p. Boone of the
Maysville Chamber of Commerce is in
receipt of a letter from the managers
OF the Redpath Chautauqua Bureau,
informing him of the fact that Miss
Alice Nielsen, who was unable to sing
on the last night OF the Chautauqua
would return to this city about the
first week in September, the exact
date of which to be announced later.
1t will be remembered that upon
Miss Nelson's arrival here she was
suffering a severe case of laryngitis
and was absolutely unable to sing.
She came before the audience and ex-
planned that she was entirely willing
to sing but also utterly disabled. Her
accompanying artists gave a splen-
did concert but the audience was al
most entirely cold to them. Miss Mel
sen lost about four days concerts by
her sickness and these dates will be
filled also during the same week. From
here she will go to Ashland, KY, and
from there to Bluefield, w. Va.
All ticket holders will be admitted
on the night of Miss Nielsen's return.
Those holding reserved seats will
again be in a favored position. 1t is
not known at present where the con-
cert will be held.
The Redpath people certainly come
up to their word. Upon hearing that
Miss Nielsen was sick on the night of
the concert, Mr.. McEwan. the superin-
tendent, began TO make immediate
preparations for her return engage
ment.
