Campaign OF
development IN
KENTUCKY STARTED
State Development Means Better Liy'
Ing, More Refnment, Stronger
Citizens and Greater Income,
Says Sackett.

As great forward movement for
the people Of Kentucky Is the view
Fred M. Sackett takes of the organi-
cation formed to conduct a campaign
Of development throughout the State
the coming summer. He believes 1t
will diminish the flow Of Kentuck-
ians from the "land of plenty" to hunt
their fortunes in other States, which,
in turn, they help to build up. In a
letter to Robert W. Bingham, chair
man, inclosing a contribution Of $1,000
from himself and Mrs. Sackett, Mr..
Sackett evinces enthusiasm over the
project and expressed a State pride
which the organization hopes will be
generally felt. He wrote:
81 was very much interested in the
work contemplated at the meeting of
the committee held on yesterday, and
feel II 1t is carried forward in a
careful and common sense way 1t will
aid greatly a needed impetus Of the
new ideas of State improvement, and
serve to bring about better under
standing of the facilities which so
long have been latent in the State
University, but which could, If prop
erly used by our people be tremen-
dous advantage and great source
of wealth to the farming and rural
communities.
"Those of US who know the posi-
bilities Of the State, the courage and
fitness of the new president of the
university, DR.. Mcvey, feel very keen
ly the opportunity knocking at the
door of rural Kentucky If any old ex-
listing prejudice could be removed
and the teachings and practical DEM
onstrations Of his ideas were made
thoroughly understood by the men
and women of the various commune
ties so we'll prepared by nature and
environment to profit exceedingly f.
nancially, educationally and in acquir-
ing better, more modern and healthier
manner of living.
ITO bring more effective methods of
husbandry and opportunities for en-
lightened understanding Of rural
problems and essential improvements
directly to all the citizens Of the
Commonwealth, at their homes, facili-
ties that are at present open only to
those whose time and means permit
them to 60 afield to seek such means
of betterment, strikes me as one of
the most far-reaching pieces of work
that can be done for the good of Ken
lucky.
"Other enlightened communities
have blazed the trail and the profit
of the effort to man, to woman and to
child should admonish us to offer the
opportunity as freely as possible, but
with a degree of care and attention
to detail that will insure success in
stimulating a real interest in our peo-
pie, of seeking to know, and, once
knowing, to put in actual practice.
"The idea of chautauqua in each
county seat is impressive and II
rightly and carefully conceived, is
pregnant with results"

Maysville's Foremost Clothier.

The deathbed confession of John
Middleton" IS, miner at Juneau,
Alaska, cleared up the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance, more
than so years ago, of Ezra Eddington
from Bourbon county, KY. In his con-
fession, made to his nurse, Mary Hen
shaw, the miner related that he and
Eddington were in love with the same
girl and agreed to fight fist battle in
the edge of Paris, the winner to get
the girl. The miner declared he acci-
dentally killed his antagonist with a
blow on the jaw and later buried the
body. He went on to Maysville and
then to Alaska. The nurse in her let
ter to Police Chief Link said that
Middleton is not the miners right
name and in order to protect his rel
atives he went to death without re-
vealing his name.
