few CHANGES AS POSSIBLE
TO OBE MADE IN CITY BOOKS
Nothing Definite Done at First Meet.
Ing Of City School Book Commit
tee But Members Seem Of the
Opinion That Few Changes
Should Be Made.

The first meeting of the School
Book Committee of the City Board of
Education was held at the High
Schoel building on Tuesday evening.
This meeting was only a preliminary
affair and little was accomplished be-
cause all members of the very impor-
tant committee were not present.
In discussing the committees work
in selecting books for use in the city
schools for the next five years, how
ever, 1t seemed to be the general opin-
ion Of all members of the body that as
few changes should be made as pos
sible.
There are two studies that must Of
necessity be changed this term and
these are History and Geography To
prevent several changes, however, the
committee seems to be of the opinion
that books for these studies should be
adopted with the understanding that
the publishers will incorporate in the
latest edition all of the changes
that will be made in texts by the
Peace Conference in Europe.
Another meeting of the committee
will probably be held some evening
next week when it is expected that all
members will be in attendance and
something more definite can be ac-
complished.

AMERICAN TOBACCO co.

Largest Buyer on the MaysvIlle Mar.
ket Has Now Caught Up With All

Ing Plant and Doors
Are Closed.

The American Tobacco Company Is
off the Maysville market and probably
all other markets in the state OF Ken
lucky for the balance of the season.
This has just become known positive
ly by the orders closing the company's
redrying plant here and the leaving of
all the company's buyers expect Mr..
T. A. Duke, local manager, who re-
sides in Maysville.
The company's large re-drying
plant which gives employment to
many men and women, has been
closed up and practically all of the
employees have been discharged. Only
those employees necessary to the up
keep of the building and plant and the
office force maintained the year
around have been kept in service.
The permanent withdrawal Of the
American Tobacco company from the
local market has been expected for
several weeks and is no surprise to
men in the local tobacco circles.

Edward De Valera, fugitive presi-
dent Of the revolutionary Sim Fein
party, made this prediction to me two
hours ago at secret midnight inter-
view.
"This means something like con-
btinued revolution until Ireland srights
are recognized" he said. His black
eyes flashed when he said it, his big
jaw squared. He spoke quietly. New
ertheless he was emphatic.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING IN RIVER

Nat Gels, we'll known local man, had
a very narrow escape from drowning
in the Ohio river at Manchester Tues
day afternoon according to informa-
tion reaching here. Nat, who has been
employed on a farm for the past sea-
son, went to Manchester more than
likely to quench his thirst and as is
too often the case, he got just a little
more than he had business with. In
crossing to the Kentucky side of the
river on the Manchester ferry boat, he
lost his balance and fell into the river
A life line was thrown to him from
the boat, which he caught and he was
safely brought aboard but was thor
oughly drenched and somewhat more
sober than when he fell overheard.

BEAUTIFUL PARKER
HOME lSPURchASED
BfNlR.J. c.EvERETT
Biggest Residence Property Deal in
MaysvilIe In Recent Years Is Com.
pleted This Afternoon BY
Mr.. sherman Arm.

A real estate deal of more than Or
dinary proportions was completed
this afternoon by Mr.. Sherman Arm,
local real estate dealer, when he sold
the magnificent home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
p. P. Parker on Third street to Mr..
and Mrs. john c. Everett.
This is beyond doubt the biggest
deal in residence property made in
Maysville in recent years and the
home which changed hands is probab-
ly the. highest priced home that has
been bought or sold in the past thirty
years. The residence is modern and
up-to-date in every particular and
probably no home in Maysvlle is bet
ter apportioned in all respects.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker decided to sell
this palatial home when continued
bad health and recommendations OF
physicians caused Mr.. Parker to de-
eide to return to his farm in the coun-
ty and make that his permanent home
Mr.. Everett, who is one Of the city's
best and most progressive merchants
is to be congratulated upon the pur-
chase Of such a magnificent home. At
ter extensive improvements to make
the home just what he and his wife
desire In their lifetime home, they
will move to the residence. This work
will in all probabilities be completed
and Mr.. and Mrs. Everett will be able
to occupy their new home by the frs,
of May.

BIG FIRE TUESDAY
NIGHT At BROOKSvIlLE
DOES GREAT DAMAGE
Six Buildings Destroyed or Badly
Damaged In Fire at BroOksyille
Tuesday Night - Maysvllle
Fire Department Asked
For Assistance.

One of the most disastrous fires in
this section of the country in recent
years was that of last night which de-
stroyed or badly damaged some six
large buildings in the heart of the
business district at Brooksville, the
county seat Of Bracken county.
The FIRE is said to have been first
discovered about 1O:30 o'clock and 1t
was seen that 1t was entirely too large
for the Brooksville Fire Department
to cope with and Immediately appeals
for help were sent out over long dis
lance telephone to Augusta and Mays
Vile. The Augusta department re-
sponded but the Maysville department
did not make the trip for they felt
they would be of little service.
Fire Chief Ruliff Newell explained
that the equipment of the local de-
partment would be Of no service In
Brooksville because that town had no
water system and as the engines only
carried about forty gallons of chemi-
Gals each this would be of little SER
vice in a fire Of such large proper
tions.
The buildings damaged or destroyed
by the fire were: Flannery's store,
Morehead's Grocery, Holen's Confec-
tionery, Senator Byron's law office,
Parsons Insurance office and Corlis &
Thompson's undertaking rooms. The
cause Of the fire is said to have been
a defective fue and the damage is not
yet estimated but will probably be
more than $4,000.
There was little insurance carried
on the buildings and about one-fourth
of the contents of the buildings are
covered by insurance.
This is the second large fire Brooks
Vile has had in the past few years.
