At the last meeting of the District
Board of the Bracken Association of
Baptists held in this city, that board
decided to employ an evangelist who
would spend his entire time in evan
gelistic work over this district of sew
eral counties in Kentucky and South
,ern Ohio.
The Executive committee of that
board, feeling that Rev. B. A. Miller,
pastor Of the Aberdeen Baptist church,
was one of the best qualified men for
the position obtainable, extended him
a call to the work and for several
weeks he has considered the matter
At a called meeting of the Board held
at the First Baptist Church here on
Tuesday night, Rev. Miller accepted
the appointment and he will resign the
pastorate of the Aberdeen church and
take up his new work within the next
two weeks. Rev. Miller was also prin-
cipal of the Aberdeen High School
and he has also. resigned that posi-
tion.
Mr.. Miller, for the present, at least

SCHOOLS MUST Be
OPERATED EXTRA HOUR
UNDER new RULING
Maysville City Schools Are Affected
By Ruling Of Attorney General
Morris-Six Hours Teaching u
Day Is Minimum.

AS the result of an opinion to the
Frankfort Board of Education Tues
day by Attorney-G General Morris, the
city schools throughout the state must
hold two sessions on school days. The
Attorney-General holds that the pub
lie schools of this commonwealth
drawing funds from the state school
fund must maintain a minimum of six
hours of actual teaching each day.
This ruling will affect the Maysville
Public Schools to quite an extent as
the Maysville schools will be required
to extend their sessions one hour long
er each day than at present.
Superintendent w. j. Caplinger this
afternoon stated that so far as the
two sessions a day were concerned the
ruling would not affect the local
schools as at present the schools are
having what is classed as two sessions
each day although the noon recess is
one-half hour instead of a whole hour
as formerly was the case. However
the ruling will mean that there must
be an extra hour each day added to
the teaching in both the High School
and the grade schools. The present
schedules include only five hours Of
actual teaching each day.
The High School sessions begin at
s: 80 each morning. The noon recess
| is from 1910 to 12:40 and school is
dismissed at 2 o'clock while in the
grades school begins at $3.50, the noon
recess is from 1880 to 12 and school
Is dismissed at 2 o'clock.
Under this ruling of the Attorney
General, 1t appears that it will become
necessary for the local schools to pro-
long their session in the afternoon un-
til 3 o'clock for the Maysville schools
receive quite a sum each year from
the State School Funds and they are
not now teaching the full six hours
a day as is required under the law
according to the Attorney General.
Superintendent Caplinger, when in
formed of the Attorney Generals opin-
ION In the matter, by the Public Ledger
this afternoon, stated that he would in
vestigate the matter very carefully
Just as soon as possible. Just at the
present time he is one of the busiest
men in Maysville but as this matter is
of vast Importance and affects the f.
nances of the schools, which are now
very short, 1t will have his immedi-
ate attention. 1t is more than likely
that a general order covering this new
situation will be issued by the Super
ltntendent within the next few days.

ANOTHER MEETING TO Plan
FOR The Big TOBACCO FAIR
Meeting Of Chamber Of Commerce ID.
rectors and Tobacco Fair Manag-
ing Committee Called For
Thursday Evening to Make
Definite Plans.

At a meeting held several weeks
ago, 1t was tentatively agreed that the
big Mason County Corn and Tobacco
Fair would be held this year during
the latter part of October and that big
plans would be made in plenty of time
prior to the date to assure big
fair.
AS all the county fairs round about
are now over and as the public in gen.
eral is beginning to inquire about the
Corn and Tobacco Fair, the matter is
coming up for considerable attention
and on Thursday night at the Chambet
of Commerce building there will be a
very important meeting of the Direc
tors of the Chamber of Commerce to-
gether with the managing committee
for the big fair.
At this meeting it is expected that
some definite plans will be made. a
definite date for the fair will likely b.
decided upon and place to hold thC
fair will be finally agreed upon. Plan.
will also likely be put on foot for al
advertising campaign which will cove
this and all adjoining counties so tina
the people will have the fair in min;
plenty of time in advance and will re
serve the dates.
Indications now are that this year
fair will be the biggest and best eve
held in Mason county.

ELECTRICITY FROM
LOCAL PLANT MAY
SERVE OTHER TOWNS
Maysyille Power Company May Fur.
nish Current to Light BrOoksville
and Other Towns and villages
In This District.

It became known today that move
ment is on foot to light the town OF
Brooksville, the county seat of Brack-
en- county, with electricity furnished
by the Maysville Power Company's
large plant. The plant at Brooksville
is at the present time loaded to Its ca
pacity and the owners of that plant
have been figuring as to whether they
had best enlarge their plant or wire
from this city to their town and have
the current furnished here.
The Maysville plant is plenty large
enough to furnish current to many
towns the size of Brooksville and II
that town gets behind this movement
lust started they will probably inter-
est Germantown, Washington and Au-
gusta In the proposition as we'll so
that these towns might light their
streets from the same line of current.
Those who are interested In the
Brooksville electric light system have
had the matter up with Captain Hor--
ace j. Cochran, of the Maysville Pow
er Company, who has visited their
town and has gone into the matter
to some extent, however, nothing of a
definite nature has been decided upon
and the matter has never yet reached
the stage where it would be safe to
predict that such could be done.
With the large plant the Maysville
Power Company has at this place ar
rangements could be made whereby
the local plant could furnish electric
ity to light most every town and vii
lage within many miles of Maysviile
upon the installation Of the necessary
system of wiring to carry the current
The Brooksville people are quite in
terested In the matter and will look
into It very carefully and 1t may be
that before winter the system could be
perfected whereby Washington, Ger
mantown, Brooksville and Augusta as
we'll as Maysville could be lighted by
the local plant.

TWO BOYS GO UP
A YEAR EACH FOR
WRECKING TRAIN.
Young Lads Who Wrecked C. a. O.
Freight Train While "Heaving',
Coal VIII Spend Year In State
School OF Reform.

The trial Of Archie Rigdon, white,
and Walter Craig, colored, which was
begun in the Mason Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon was concluded this
morning and the lads were found gull
ty under the indictment which charged
them with train wrecking and they
were each given a term of one year
in the pententiary.
AS both of the boys are II years of
age, they cannot be sent to the peni-
tentiary, but instead, will be sent to
the State School of Reform at Green
dale to serve their sentence there.
1t will be remembered that during
last March these boys were arrested
near Carmel street in the Sixth Ward
when a West bound coal train was
wrecked. 1t was charged that the boys
were riding on the train and were
throwing off coal along about Carmel
street, One lump of the coal struck
the air hose on the train and caused
the air brakes to be applied instantly.
One of the coal cars "buckled" and
was wrecked c. & o. detectives
placed these two boys under arrest
and they were held to the Grand Jury
by the Juvenile court. The Grand
Jury, which was then in session, in
dicted both of the boys and they were
given an opportunity to plead guilty
but refused to do so and went into
trial with the above result. Craig, the
negro boy, lives in the East end of this
city while Rigdon, the white boy, is
from Vanceburg, Lewis county.
In the case against Tom Rankin,
charged with gambling, fine of 500.
and costs was assessed.
Court was adjourned until Thursday
morning when the Grand Jury meets.
