p. Morrow Speaks In the In
terest Of His Campaign
For Governor.

The word has been passed out to all
of the counties adjoining Mason coun-
ty that Hon. Ed p. Morrow, Repub-
lican nominee for Governor will
speak at the Mason County Court
House on next Wednesday evening at
z o'clock and telephone messages
have already been coming to Maysville
asking that space be reserved for dele
cations from various parts of this and
adjoining counties.
1t will be impossible, however, to
reserve seating space for anyone and
all will have to take their chances and
in order to assure a good seat, one
should go to the Court House early.
Much interest is being taken in
Lewis county in the announcement
that Mr.. Morrow would speak at Toll
lesboro on Wednesday afternoon and a
great delegation of Lewis county peo-
pie are expected to meet him there to
hear his message.
People from Fleming, Robertson,
Bracken and Nicholas counties will be
in Maysville on Wednesday evening
and it is also understood that a big
number of Lewis county people, who
are closer to Maysyille by train than
they would be to Tollesboro, will come
to this city to hear the evening ad-
dress.

MAYSVILLE PEOPLE
LIBERAL TOWARD
STARVING NATIONS
Young Women Of the Settlement Club
Are Meeting With Much Success
In Gathering Clothing For
Armenians and Syrians
This Week.

Members of the Maysville Settle
ment Club have met with much sue
cess thus far in their campaign to
gather old clothing for the Armenian
and Syrians as part of the campaign
for Armenian and Syrian Relief. AS
there are so many other campaigns
for finances in Mason county at the
present time, it was thought best to
postpone the campaign for money but
the drive for old clothing is now on
in full force in the city of Maysville.
The young women of the club have
today been using automobiles and
have been calling on most of the
homes in the city. They have been
able to gather quite a lot of worn
clothing which will help much to-
ward keeping the suffering of Armen-
la and Syria from freezing during the
coming winter.
Those sections of the city which
have not yet been visited will be visit
ed before the close of the week and
those who have not yet contributed
are asked to ransact their homes at
once and gather together all the old
clothing that they have no further use
for that it may be contributed to this
worthy cause when the young women
call.

Local police have been asked to be
on the look out for five prisoners who
escaped from the jail in Covington,
KY, Friday morning. When Turnkey
Ben Me went into the cell-room to

they disappeared.
The fugitives are Theodore Correll,

new ERA MOVEMENT
IS FULLY EXPLAINED
Native Of Adams County, Ohio, Now
Missionary In West Africa, Speaks
at District Institute Held Here.

The New Era Movement was very
attractively put by the visiting work.
ers at the Presbyterian Church yester-
day. DR.. Leith, of Covington, is chair
man for the Presbytery and made
fine opening statement.
DR.. Kauntz, the Field Secretary, said
that the churches are taking UP the
plan with great enthusiasm. 1t means
every member interested in the whole
work of the church and doing his par
ticular part. 1t is not an ironclad
plan but can be adopted In each
church according to Its needs.
Mrs. Porter of Louisville, spoke of
the Women's work of the squad and
gave us some valuable suggestions.
A representative from the church
at Batange, West Africa, Mr.. A. s.
Adams, who by the way was born near
here in Adams county, Ohio, told of
the wonderful development there. The
largest Presbyterian church in the
world is there and 1t has been accom-
plished through this principle of ev-
cry member working.
His mission was in German Col
only which had to take up the study
of French after the allies we're in that
field. This led to confusion and diff
Guilty but they have overridden these
and the work is going forward.
The New Era Movement has only
been adopted hitherto, in the financial
department in the Maysville church
but the purpose now is to organize the
church as far as possible along the
whole line.
