MAYSVILLE TO HAVE
ANOTHER CHAUTAUQUA
Enough Persons Pledge Themselves
to Purchase Season Tickets to
Assure the Financial Success
of a 1919 Chautauqua.

Maysville is assured of Chautau-
qua for next summer. The people so
appreciated the Chautauqua this year
that they pledged themselves to the
purchase of more than six hundred
season tickets for next season there
by assuring the financial success of a
program next season.
The Coit-Alber Chautauqua people
furnished Maysville such a fine pro-
gram this year and the people are so
very much pleased with the talent
heard that in ALI probabilities they
will be the folks who will get the con-
tract to furnish next years program.
When the matter of having Chau-
tauqua next season was first suggest
ed there were many who thought that
because of the war there should be no
Chautauqua next year but the people
demonstrated beyond doubt that
they wanted it returned and have
pledged themselves for enough season
tickets to assure the guarantors that
the meeting will be successful.
Although it looked pretty uncer-
tain during the first few days of this
week, the years Chautauqua was
financial success and a wonderful
success in every respect.

BIRTHDAY DINNER

Mrs. Louisa Boggs, of Third and
Walnut streets, celebrated her eigh-
tieth birthday anniversary July 5, in
an unexpected, but very pleasant
manner. About twenty of her chill
drenS grandchildren, great grandchil-
dren, and other relatives, dropped in,
bringing with them all sorts of good
things to eat. Two dining tables were
spread, the hostess and her five chill
dren being seated at one, the remain
der of the company at the other.
What followed for the next half hour
or so is too well understood to need
description. Every member of five
families was present, being reminded
of the Thanksgiving day reunions
that this family has observed for
years. Every one present enjoyed the
occasion immensely, and 1t is hoped
that the Gracious Master, in His
goodness, may see fit to permit them
to enjoy many more similar reun-
ions.

FIRST TRIAL UNDER
new YAGRANcY Law
w. A. Gates is Found a Vagrant and
WIN Work Sixty Days For COun-
ty and Pay Twenty Dol
lar Fine.

w. A. Gates, residence everywhere
and occupation mostly nothing, was
the first man to be arrested in Mason
county under the new state vagrancy
law and drew the handsome prize of
twenty dollar fine and sixty days at
hard labor in the local Police Court
yesterday afternoon.
Gates was arrested Thursday night
at the local wharf boat by police af-
ter much complaint had been made
against his loafing about the river
front for the past several weeks.
In Police Court Yesterday afternoon
he denied vigorously that he was
vagrant but allowing him to take
each day separately and state the
number OF hours he had worked for
the past week, Judge Whitaker fig
ured that he had worked but twelve
hours during the entire week while
the new state law requires that one
shall do at least thirty-six hours work
each week If they are able bodied and
between the ages of Is and 60.
Gates for several years, according
to his testimony, has been deck
hand on river boats and got off a boat
here about four weeks ago to become
night Waterman at the local wharf.
He only held that job for a week,
however and since that time he has
been doing mostly nothing.
Although this is the first prosecu-
ton under the new compulsory work
law, the local officials promise that it
will be rigidly enforced and every
person able to do an honest days
work will have to do it for men are
being begged to work here. One po-
liceman on the witness stand yester-
day said that farmers were coming
to Maysville most every night and
begging men to return with them to
the farm to work in the harvest
fields.
