crate their store and windaws espe-
clally for this big celebration, They
will explain the window decoration

create greater enthusiasm in the show
than was demonstrated by the mer-
chants last year.
Already those at head of the move
ment have been assured by the bust
ness men that the plan will receive
their hearty cooperation but the visit
to them today is to explain in detail
as far as possible all of the plans thus
far made and to urge upon the mer-

more of the local merchants will CO.
operate.

MEETING OF CIVIL
WAR VETERANS
Being PLANNED
Annual Reunion Of Civil War Veter-
ans to BE Held Here SeptemberS
25th WIN ATTRACT Many Of
the Old WarrlOrs-Grent
Program Being Ar
ranged


The next meeting of great import
ance in Maysville will be the thirtieth
annual reunion of the Tenth Ken
lucky Calvary and Sixteenth Ken
lucky Infantry, Civil War Veterans, to
be held at Beechwood Park on We'd
nesday, September rs, and much in
terest is being shown in the plans
now being drawn for this annual re-
union.
This event is looked forward to by
the old warriors as the greatest day
in the year and they have already be-
gun to make all arrangements to be
on hand. This is one meeting that 1t
is not necessary to urge the members
to be present for all who can possible
get here are always more than anX-
ious to be on hand to shake hands
with the old comrades and to learn
something about how their old time
friends have been getting along dur
ing the year.
The meeting this year has special
significance in that there is another
great war raging in which our nation
is engaged and in this new war the
old timers are taking as much inter-
est as the youngsters. There is not a
one of them but that would like to don
khaki and go forth to the fields of
France to fight for Democracy and
many of them have volunteered their
services but they are too old for the
fight and have been rejected, never
theless they are all doing their bit
at home by buying Liberty Bonds.
Supporting the Red Cross and the Y.
NJ. c. A. and backing all of those or
CARNATIONS with which they were not
blessed in the old days.
Mrs G. w. Hook, of PEBBLES, Ohio,
Secretary of the Association, has sent
to the members and their friends
cards telling them of the date of the
meeting and informing them that a
special program will be arranged for
them.
Just what the big program will be
this year is not yet known but 1t is
certain that there will be something
very interesting for the old comrades
and there will be several patriotic
addresses thath will be worth coming
miles to see.
The meeting will be all day and all
attending have been asked to bring
we'll filled baskets for the Hoover
luncheon to be served on the grounds

mrs. CARROLL CRAIG

Death When Coal Oil Can
EXplOdes.

The Dover News says: The Lester

shocked Saturday when telegram
was received announcing the death of

ceived in the explosion of a coal oil
can.
Mrs. Craig had gone into the kitch-
en- to prepare breakfast. The fire
was not burning to suit her and she
picked up can of oil and poured on
the fire. The can exploded, envelop-
ing her in flames, and before her hus-
band could reach her was a severely
burned that she died few hours
later The home, which was between
Client and Carrollton, was completely
destroyed Mr.. Craig succeeded in
rescuing their two children, aged nine
months, and three years.

HUNDREDS LIST
THEMSELVES FOR
MILITARY CALL
Greatest Military Registration Ever
Known In Any County Is Now On
In Full Blast-Many Register
Early In MaysylIle.

The greatest listing of men for mill
tary service ever known in the his
tory of the world is on in full blast all
over the nation today. The polls
opened at o'clock this morning and
when the registrars arrived at the
various registration places they found
men waiting for them to list them
selves and receive from the registrars
their little cards which will be car
ried on their persons to show all Of
ficials, who desire to know, that they
have been listed as an available man
for the United States army.
From the manner in which the reg
istration started Off this morning 1t is
expected that the registration in Ma
son county will go beyond the esti-
mate put on the county by the Chief
of the Selective Service in the state
and will reach the figures placed on
the county by the members of the Ma
son County Local Board.
The figures will no doubt reach an
average of 100 for each voting pre-
cinct and it may even go beyond that
for there are many men in the county
between the ages of Is and As who
will list themselves.
In answer to the call of the Provost
Marshal General, the people of Mays
vile have hung out Old Glory again
and the spirit of patriotism is abroad
in the city. Every man who has reg
istered is proud of 1t and displays to
his friends with much pride the small
piece of card board which designates
him as one of Uncle Sans men.
The exact number of the men who
register in the county cannot be
known probably until noon Friday but
all the registrars have been request
ed by the members of the Mason
County Board, to report to board head
quarters here before noon Friday
with full list of the men registering
in their precincts and all of the blank
registration cards they have on hand
AS soon as the official total is ar.
rived at by the board members it will
be telegraphed to the state chief who
will in turn telegraph the states total
to Washington.
The next big job after the registra-
ton will be the filling out of the ques-
tionnaires and the classification of tho
men registered. This will be some
big job and in order that the local
board might have help in this work
the board has been assigned clerk
chosen from the limited service class
Mr.. Fred Arm, Jr., has been commits
stoned TO this work for the Mason
County Board.
