Important Business Transact.
ed at Meeting Held
Thursday Night.

The Maysville Retail Grocers' Asso-
citation held its semi-monthly meeting
in the Chamber Of Commerce Thurs

portant business.
The Secretary was instructed to
communicate with Hon. Fred NJ. Sack

express the sincere thanks of the
Grocers' Association for sending them
such an able speaker as Mr. Moss.
The grocers accepted an amendment
to their constitution permitting all the
Mason county grocers to become af-
flliated with the organization. This
will prove a very satisfactory arrange
ment as quite few of the grocers
outside Of Maysville have expressed
their desire of joining the organiza-
tion.
Any Mason county grocer who de-
sires to join the Maysville Retail
Grocers' Association are urged to call
at the Chamber of Commerce and
make application for membership.

WASHINGTON FIRE COMPANY
BANOUET


The banquet for the members of the
Washington Fire Company held at the
fire hall on West Second street last
night was a most delightful and sue
cessful affair. President A. G. Sulser
acted as toastmaster in his usual ini-
mitable style. All who attended re-
port an unusually good time.
In calling the roll, Colonel Kinney
McClanahan. secretary Of the organi-
zation for the past forty years, and the
Oldest fireman in the state of Ken
lucky, called the name of Mr.. Joseph
Lowery, who was absent. He remark
ed, "It's too cold for him to come
out" Then on calling the name of
Mr.. Byron Rudy, also absent, he said,
"Oh, he's too old to come" In view
of the fact that Colonel McClanahan is
several years older than either of
these men, it is evident that he still
considers himself young man not
withstanding his advanced age.
