WILL GO TO M0REHEAD
Secretary II. c. GriInsley to Attend
Meeting in Regard to the Mid.
land Trail Question.

A meeting was held in the offices of
the Chamber Of Commerce Offices in
the First Standard Bank yesterday of
all Maysville persons interested in the
Midland Trail proposition. A large
number were present. among the
number being representatives of the
hotels and garages who would be
greatly benefited by the route going
through Maysvllle. A very interest
ing meeting was held and all seemed
very enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
ton.
Plans were made for the sending
Of delegate from Maysville to at
tend the Midland Trail meeting which
will be held in Morehead, KY, today.
Secretary Grlmsley was appointed to
60 and has done so. Leaders of COM
mercial clubs and large number of
citizens interested In good road work
will be present among them being,
Denny B. Goode of Lexington, secre-
tary of the Board of Commerce in
that city, State Road Commissioner
Wiley, Circuit Judge William A.
Young and others.
Mr.. Grimsleys purpose will be to
get the route to come through Mays
vile and he expects to be successful
in his effort. 1t is said that the road
most favorably thought of by those in
charge Of the routing, is the Vance,
burg-Tolesboro route. Mr.. Grimsley
however feels sure that arrangements
could be made whereby the route
would come through Maysville.
He will have number of excellent
arguments to place before the meet
Ing in order to induce the road to
come this way, the strongest of which
will be the number of historical
places in Mason county that can be
visited. The birthplace of Albert Sid
ney Johnson, where some Of the
scenes Of Uncle Toms Cabin were
laid, where Ulysses Grant went to
school, and other places of interest
are but few of the many.
We believe that Mr.. Grimsley will
find that Mason county people are
very anxious to secure the road and
II this is done 1t will be a great thing
for both the city and county.

COLORED INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
VIII BE Established ut Maysllck, IN
This County Within the Next
Several Months.

An announcement that will proba-
bly, be of much interest to the many
citizens Of Mason county interested In
the welfare Of the colored population
Is the one that colored industrial
school will be established at Mayslick
In this county within the next several
weeks.
The money for the establishing the
school will in the most part come
from the Slater fund for the improve
ment of the colored schools in the
state, which Is in charge of DR.. f.
c. Button, state superintendent of ru-
raj schools. Some outside help will
be needed but will not be asked for
until the time of the building OF the
school has been set.
A similar school is being conduct
ed at present at Little Rock, Bourbon
county, and is accomplishing great
deal of good among the colored peo-
pie Of that county. This school has
been in operation for some time
Recently Prof, Cook, one of the
leading colored educators of this Sec
tion, addressed meeting Of teachers
in Miss Jessie o. Yancey's office on
Sutton street. Prof. Cook explained
the benefits of the school and told
with what success other schools had
been operated in the state and else
where.
The benefits Of such a school are at
once apparent to the citizens of the
county. An opportunity would be
given to very large number of col
ored children to learn trade and to
thus become useful to their commun-
ity instead of dependant upon it.
Thoroughly efficient teachers will be
procured for the school, who will be
competent to instruct the many schol-
ars that will doubtless be in attend
ance from its opening. All branches
of industrial work will be taught,
manual training, carpenter work,
printing, etc.
Mason county people should feel es-
pecially fortunate in securing this
school for Mason county for its bene-
fits will be far reaching. With this
school, the colored children will have
an equal opportunity with the whites
and that they will show their desire to
learn is not in the least doubted

NEW PLAN OF CONTEST

At special meeting of the cabinet
Of the Epworth League of the Third
Street M. +. Church Wednesday night
1t was decided after going over the sit
uation carefully with the captains of
the Red, "Whites" and blues" in
the League contest to bring the con-
test to close. The Reds" under
Captain William e. Smith had so far
outdistanced the other two sides that
they were willing to award to the con-
quering hero all the honors due the
victors. The Reds" were over two
thousand points ahead of either of the
other sides. They will be banqueted
in royal style some time next week.
So all are requested to be at the
League service Sunday night to hear
the announcement of time and place of
the banquet At the same time a new
contest begins between the male and
female members and friends of the
League. Recognizing the preponder-
ance of women at all churcn services
a concession will be made to the men.
Each man or boy who attends will be
counted 1R and the women and girls
just one. OF course II the women best
the men the men will have to don the
aprons and serve the ice cream and
accessories to the ladies'. and also
wash up the dishes afterward. 1t will
be an interesting race. Captain Will
liam E. Smith, the hero of many bat
ties, will lead the men to a honed-for
victory; Miss Helen Nauman will cap
tain the ladies side and assures us
that the word defeat" is not in her
vocabulary. Then men invite all the
men and boys to be sure to attend !;
and the women and girls invite all of
their sex to come.
