The annual meeting and banquet of
the Maysville Chamber of Commerce
which was held last evening at the st.
Charles Hotel was a great success.
Besides enjoying splendid feast of
good things to eat prepared by Col.
Charles Rhomiller, those who attend
ed heard several enthusiastic adj
dresses and chose very capable lot
of officers for the new year just be-
ginning.
The chief address of the evening
was made by Hon. Godfrey Morgan
chief of the County Agents of the
State of Kentucky and representative
of the Federal government in agricul-
tural extension work in this state. Mr..
Moran spoke on the cooperation of
the farmer and the business man
which is absolutely necessary to the
welfare of both and greatly praised
organization and especially such an
Organization as the Maysville Cham
Der If Commerce which brings togeth
or T. e men of the shop and store and
fact ry and the men of the farm on
a common plane to study and solve
the vexing problems that face them all
and in which all are vitality interested
Mr.. Morgan's address will remain
fresh with those who attended for
time to come All are anxious to hear
him again on a similar topic.
Several of the members made five
minute talks. Mr.. ]. B. Wood in his
talk launched a movement that may
mean the establishment in Maysville
of County Club room for the benefit
of the young men of the county and as
a living memorial to the brave Mason
county men who have had a part in
the late world war. This suggestion
of Mr.. Wood would include the city
and county and it seemed to be the
opinion of the majority of the business
men present that such a memorial
would be much better than the cree
ton of stone monument. The BUSH
ness men thought so well of the sug-
gestion that on motion it was ordered
that the president appoint a commit
tee to act in connection with the COM
mittee chosen by City Council and
present this plan.
The other talks were filled with en-
thusiasm and plainly showed that the
speakers were wide awake to the ac-
complishments and the opportunities
of the Chamber of Commerce while
the applause of the auditors demon
strated that all were boosters.
