TWO TRAINS MAY CONE OFF

Trains Nos. and on the c. 4 O.
passing here at 1853 a. m. and 9:35
a. m. respectively, may be discontiin-
ucd by the railroad as a war measure
The removal of these trains would
mean that there would be much
greater congestion on other passenger
trains as these two are the most
popular on the road Several loca
trains in West Virginia will also be
discontinued.

Opens In the MaysyilIe High School
Last Evening With the Bacca-
laureate Sermon Delivered by
the Rev. DIR. j. W. Porter
Of Lexington.

Commencement week exercises be-
gan last night in the High School au-
ditorium with the baccalaureate SER
mon, which was delivered by the Rev.
DR.. J. w. Porter of Lexington, pastor
of the First Baptist Church Of that
city.
A very large crowd was present to
hear DR.. Porter. Every seat avail
able was taken and many were forced
to stand. Those standing were re-
warded however by hearing one of the
most mastery sermons ever delivered
in Maysville.
The program opened with the march
Of the Senior Glass to their seats di-
rectly in front of the stage. They were
followed by the members of the fac
ulty of the High School. The Rev.
s. X. Hunt, pastor of the Third Street
NJ. f. Church, gave the invocation, fol-
lowing the DoXology sung by the au-
dicnCe.
The Rev. DR.. John Barbour read the
Scripture lesson, the nineteenth psalm.
Miss Elizabeth Williams, directress OF
Music in the schools, sang very sweet
ly when the Heart Was Young" Miss
Williams possesses rich, clear So
prano voice and it was great pleas
ure to all present to hear her
DR.. Porter was then introduced to
the audience. He prefaced his SER
mon with short talk on his memories
of Maysville. His subject, THE Chal-
lenge of the School Room" was han
died in a splendid manner and not fol
one moment of the IS minutes used by
him in speaking did his audience grow
weary. The splendid advices given by
him to the graduating class coult
not have fallen upon unheeding ears
On Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock
the annual Senior Glass Day will b.

YOUR PATRIOTIC
DUTY
BUY A LIBERTY
BOND

Danger for the complete success
of the Liberty Loan turks in over-con-
fdence.
The announcements In the press of
large applications by Institutions and
men of great wealth are apt to en-
gender the comfortable feeling that
all will be well without the efforts Of
the small subscribers. This line OF
thought together with the idea that
through Observation-Disclosures al
lotmcnts may not be made, must be
dispelled from the mind of every pa
triotic citizen.
1t is not sufficient that this issue
should be merely bare success. It
must be a striking demonstration CT
the overwhelming strength of purpose
animating all sincere friends of Lib
erty to bring the war to speedy and
successful termination.
The eyes ol the enemy are watch
ing this preliminary skirmish and our
victory must be made effective by a
ruly popular subscription exceeding
MANY TIMES the amount offered.
1t bchooves every INDIVIDUAL to
let his action be entirely guarded by
the conviction that upon HIS Ut
MOST PERSONAL EFFORT depends
the only result worthy of the great
cause which all free men desire and
INTEND to make triumphant. Hesi-
fancy as to the Importance Of the
amount available should not be al
lowed to prevail The Bonds are in
denominations as low as $50, and all
purchasers of one of these will con-
tribute their quota towards swelling
the volume Of subscriptions.
No thought of the detail work at
tendant upon subscribing to the loan
need deter. We will as we have
already stated attend to that free
of any charge. All that is necessary
is that we receive notification of the
amount desired,

He was kind and obedient father, he
was conscious until his death, he pro-
tested the hope in Christ about sixty
years ago and was a good Christian
man, attending his church when he
was able. He told his daughter, Ethel,
to give him something to suit his ap-
petite, that he would not be with her

THE PROGRESS or THE WAR.

There has been nothing Of special note
dong along any Of the battle lines.
A German aeroplane raid over Eng
land resulted IN large number OF casu-
alties, and as usual of no military &C
count, except to frighten or anger the
people.
The Chicago Examiner, editorially
calls attention to the fact that Germany
never made any definite proposals for
peace until bombs we're dropped on Es-
sen and the suburbs of Berlin and the
entrance of the U. s. into the war with
its almost boundless facilities for the
manufacture of aeroplanes.
The Examiner says that while the
British fleet was impregnable. the Ger
mans went under the British ships with
u boats. Nov, it Is for the U. S. to
overcome the impregnable, German
trench lines by flying over them. That
when thirty Thousand aeroplanes get fly
ing in vast flocks over German soil occa-
sionally dropping bombs that the decl-
sive features of the war will be tran sfer-
red to the air.
However, according to the same paper,
an aeroplane only lasts about two months
IN active service and in that time will
wear out two motors, hence the Examl-
ner calls for doubling the proposed num-
Der of planes from this country, and DO
it quickly at no matter what cost.
The Pope has issued proposal for
peace. His basis for peace are practl-
cally return to the satus previous to
the war. The entente allies will not like
the proposed terms and they are already
claiming that the proposals. originated IN
Germany and we're transmitted to the
Pope through Austria which is IN close
relations with the Vatican.
Our own congressional representative
from this distsict has taken his seat with
the declaration that he ls equally in to
win the war with all kinds Of kaisers
and apparently puts the emphasis on the
capitalists Of the United States as need
ing the most urgent attention. Mr..
Baer's theory appears 70 be. that the
first thing to do 70 win the wsr against
Germany is to stir asrow against the rich
by the poor, and have first rate fight be-
tween classes here It home. as ! prelimI-

Also for your own sake that you may
not be personally shut up tight for the
rest of the war. That is the fate of fools

The maiden Of Burma lights a ''love-

one passes at night, and If he be will
ing, he speedily conveys the glad in
formation to her. When the Sumatra
girl has reached twenty-five-andh her
life up to then has been passed in
strict seclusion-and no one has come
to ask for her hand, she attends to
the matter in her own way, dresses in
red, and goes out twice day, until
successful, to find husband.

BY STEAM SHOVEL
Three Men Hurt, One Seriously, a
POmaria From Explosion in
Gravel Pit.

While the men were at work at
Koon's gravel pit, two miles this side
of Pomaria Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock, the steam shovel struck
a stick of dynamite in the earth and
caused a terrific explosion. Three
men, all white, were hurt. V. r.
Davis, craneman, had his skull frac-
tured and suffered other injuries; l..
O. Pollock and w. E. Koon suffered
painful bruises but their injuries ap-
pear to be entirely external and not
regarded as serious. Mr.. Davis was
taken to Columbia on passenger tram
No. 1S, passing Pomaria about l
O'Clock and was carried to a hospital
for an operation. For months the
Southern has been getting gravel or
ballast out Of this pit and sending a
trainload every day or so to the main
line by way of Greenville. A train OF
80 cars loaded with it went by here
today.
The State of Thursday says Mr.:
