Loss of Arabian Literature.

Arabian literature, had it not suf-
fered mutilation, would have remained
a treasure house for the scholars of
all lands. The disastrous fire at the
Escurial, in 1871, probably inspired by
bigotry, by which 5000 volumes, most
~ Arabian chronicles, were destroyed,
was probably a greater loss than~the
burning OF the Alexandrfan library,
caused by the Mohammedans.

MUCH DISCUSSION
Of 1918 Corn and Tobacco Fair nj
Chamber Of Commerce Meet.
Ing Held Tuesday Night.

The sixth weekly meeting for the
entire membership OF the Chamber
OF Commerce under the auspices OF
the Convention and Special Events
Division to discuss the proposed 1918
Corn and Tobacco Fair was held
Tuesday evening In the Chamber OF
Commerce assembly hall.
Secretary Dodds presided over the
meeting and stated the purposes for
which Il was called. He then intro
duced Mr.. G. s. Kirk, speaker OF the
evening, who said that he felt that the
recent corn and tobacco fairs were OF
great benefit to the city In many ways
While the financial gain was a pleas
ant feature yet the general good II
did in creating q closer social rela-
ton between the citizens was invalu-
able.
He believes several features should
be considered In conducting the 1918
fair such as time for holding 1t and
growth. He suggested that the fair
was just a little late, coming in con-
tact with the bad weather and at a
time when the farmers were busy,
which suggestion met with consider
able favor with the members present
Mr.. Kirk believes that the fair should
be held when the weather Is more
pleasant so that friends can be IL
vitcd to pay visits during the fair so
the citizens can show them the beau.
ties of Mason county.
The week prior to the recent Corn
and Tobacco Fair was very pleasant
He believes that the new features and
changes in the fair must be consid-
cred In order to make the fair grow.
The fair must grow if it is to last, and
to make it grow new features are
necessary. Two changes were sug-
gested by the speaker; the first to
enlarge the present scope by using
the Liberty Warehouse for the enter
tainments, ETC., and the Independent
Central for Live Stock and show rin
and connect the two with mid-w:
with ferris wheel, merry-go-rour
etc. on the c. & o. lot; the secor
plan was to hold the fair on IT,
streets, as do Ironton, Portsmouth al
Huntington. He seemed in clined
believe the first plan was more adv! =
able for this years fair and suggested
the street carnival idea could be used
rs spring event fer openng the 19l!
;pring business. The members pres
ent were well pleased with the idea OF
some sDring event as a stimula'or tc
obtain the desired spring business for
the business men,
Several suggested features for the
1915 fair were voting contest for
he selection of the Queen; Pagen,
of Mason county; good band and good
speakers Other suggestions were
that all the Maysville merchants be
given first option on the booths to a
certain date; decorating comnPny not
to tear down booths until exhibitors
have vacated: 25 cents and 10 cents
admissions, booth contests, business
men to decorate the building instea'
Of hiring decorating company.
Some of the members present were
in favor of obtaining the Home Ware
house and holding the entire fair I'm
der one roof.
All in all the meeting was cCnsid
cred a very profitable one and n
doubt with the suggestions received
the committee will give Maysville q
bigger and better fair than we have
yet received.
