CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WORKERS REPORT MEMBERS
Big Drive For Memberships to the
Maysville Chamber Of Commerce
Goes on With Business Men

The members of the various Cham
Der Of Commerce canvassing commit
tees were very busy today calling on
those who heretofore have been mem
bers of the organization and upon
many business men who heretofore
have not been identified with the or
ganization.
These committees report that they
are meeting with much success and
that the Chamber of Commerce dur
ing the next year will be stronger
than ever before. 1t will have the I'M
qualified support of the live wires in
business in Maysville and while some
few business men have not yet identi-
fed themselves with the organization
1t Is thought that before the campaign
is closed, they too will line up for
bigger and better Maysville.
The Chamber of Commerce is the
one organization that has done more
than anyother to keep Maysville on the
map during the past three year and
during that time Maysville business
men have accomplished much more
for the old town than they have ever
been able to do before. These bust
ness men, no matter how eager they
are, cannot accomplish by themselves
what the conserted effort of all the
business men can and therefore the
Chamber of Commerce is necessity.

purposes of the Liberty Loan Drive.

come members of the Federal Re-

such drives as this would call forth
all the resources and funds of a bank,
and said they would have access to
the facilities of the Reserve banking
system.
A patriotic appeal to the workers
was given in the speech made by
Homer II. McKeehan, chairman of the
Speakers Bureau of the Fourth Lib

do the boys on the front.
Hon. James N. Kehoe, represented
Mason county at the big conference.

EFFECTS ON PICTURE GREAT

AS reviewed from the standpoint OF
the spectator who had the privilege,
through the courtesy of the Manager
to see the Hearts of the World, the
picture was one of the most interest
ing stories of the war ever shown in
Maysville.
One of the most attractive features
of the picture was the skilled way in
which the effects were given to the
spectators. The company carried a
carload of these which were ably han

CELEBRATION OF
EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION
COlOred People Of Maysvllle VIII Hold
Great Celebration ut Scott VI. L.
Church on Next Sun
day Evening.

This occasion coming at this time
is splendid appeal for a deeper in
terest and better feeling between
the two races, let us celebrate IT to-
gether.
Sunday, September %, marks the
anniversary of the signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation, by the
most honored son of Kentucky. a
man, whose name has frightened with
the passing years, whose achieve
ments have been rehearsed at every
fireside, and whose spirit, thrilling
and throbbing with the impulses Of
liberty, is sending forth the towering
youth and calling for and receiving
the glad response of the mature mil
lions of both the north and the south,
and these are being helped. and
strengthened and encouraged by Gods
ebony colored sons, for whom, fifty
years ago, the honored Lincoln and
host of American citizens shed their
blood and gave up their lives to save
from slavery and oppression. The
Emancipation Proclamation issued by
the great Lincoln must not be thought
of as only affecting the colored people
who were slaves, it made three dis
tinctive contributions to three classes
of people.
1t saved the colored people from
servitude and ignorance, it saved the
poor whites of the south from igor
ance and poverty, it saved the poor
whites of the north from an unceasing
fear of ignorance and poverty which
condition is evitabe under the regime
of slavery 1t gave to us nation in
which all the people are equally
hopeful and equally interested.
Sunday evening 1880 at Scott NJ. L.
Church the re-edidcation of our Ser
vice Flag and the adding of twenty
five new stars, which will be placed
by the relatives of the respective SOL
diers. This flag will have forty-fve
stars all representing members of the
Scott NJ f. Church. There will also
take place the unfurling of a beauti-
fully embroidered Honor Roll bearing
not only the names of the forty-five
members of Scott NJ. f. Church, but
in addition twenty others whose pref
relatives are members of it. Ser
geant Feland o. Green, who left here
with the first branch of colored fell
lows to go from Maysville, is home
and will be present and have some
thing to say. A special program will
be rendered. The Hon. ]. n. Ke-
hoe will deliver an address. We feel
that we are especially favored to have
the service of a naticnal character
like Mr.. Kehoe on this occasion. Mr.,
Carl Dodds, the sweet singer of lsreal,
has consented to be present and in
spire us with his beautiful voice.
These with other special features of
the program are sufficient to inspire
all who are interested in the cause of
liberty and uplift of humanity.
A large attendance is expected. Our
white friends are especially invited in
the celebration of this magnificent oc-
casion.
