GO TO RUGGLES

Now that II has been definitely de-
clded that we are to have no Chau-
tauqua this year, and nothing special
scheduled for the Fourth Of July, why
not celebrate the Fourth In safe and
sane way by attending the big Old Set
tiers reunion and picnic at Ruggles
Campgrounds? This place Is ia
vorite resort for hundreds Of Maysville
people, and In these times Of the au-
tcmobile, making the trip out there q
matter of very short time, we can
think OF no better way to celebrate
our Nations birthday than attending
this big picnic. There will be hun
dreds of people there from Mason
Lewis and Fleming counties, and else
where too A finer place to meet
friends and enjoy day Of real pleas
ure could not be found anywhere. And
then there will be some fine speak
ing. Hon. ]. N. Kehoe will be the
leading orator of the day. His repu-
tation as an entertaining and forceful
speaker is too well known to need fur
ther comment. Rev. 8. X. Hunt who
is also to speak, will be q new man
at Ruggles, but his work in Maysville
as a preacher and pastor for nearly o
year has been such as will commend
him to any audience. Those who hear
him will be delighted as we'll as help
ed. Patriotic music Of all kinds will
be sung and played by the chois and
orchestra of the Third Street M. e
Church with Howard Trent as pianist
One thing more ia needed to make the
day success, and that Is plenty tc
eat. Let everyone bring basket full
Of good eats. Come early and stay
late and we bespeak for one and al
the happiest Fourth Of their lives.
