Charles Rhomiller, who has establish
ed his reputation for serving such

The election of directors is a very
important piece of business and as
many of the members as possible
should be present at the meeting. The
committee which has been selling
tickets reports that they have met
with much success and there is every
reason to believe that there will be a
good sized and representative crowd
of Maysville's business men. The pol
Icy of the organization depends large
ly upon the personnel of the director
ate and the members should take an
interest in their election.

PLANNING FOR
A LARGE CROWD ON
COUNTY Court DAY
Next Monday Is County Court Day In
Maysyille and Although Farmers
Are Very Busy Large Crowd
Is Expected.

Its beginning to look like winter is
coming and the farmers have begun
to get rid of their extra horses to keep
from feeding them through the winter.
This fact is expected to bring many
horse traders and a large number of
farmers to Maysville on next Monday
for the regular County Court Day
stock sales.
On last Court day although the
weather was disagreeable there was
very large crowd of farmers. The
stock sales are proving more popular
each month. Maysville is now having
crowds equal to most any of our
neighboring counties who have had
live stock sales for years.
On account of the influenza there
has been no special features arranged
for the day but it is certain that there
will be large number of horses and
quite a number of cattle. The sale of
pure bred cattle here several weeks
ago has greatly revived the interest in
cattle in Mason and adjoining counties
and it is expected that much more in
terest will be taken in cattle this court
day than has been taken for some
time.
