A Big MISSIONARY
PROGRAM IS PLANNED
Christian Churches Of Mason County
Plan Big Things For Mis-.
slOns This Yenr.

These are days Of great missionary
opportunities. The great war has
been a great educator. Nations OF
people heather as well as Christian
know geography and history as never
before. Men are thinking Useless
and antiquated institutions both In
government and religion are being
discarded. The world is ready to have
the best. Forms of government are
being changed. Unless now the true
religion, the religion Of Christ, Is
taught the heather. the time will
come, and that right soon, when he
will settle back into spirit of salts
faction and will not be so ready to
receive the American religion as he
would be now. Therefore seeing the
need and knowing the value of teach
ing Christianity to every creature, all
the religious organizations are paying
special stress on the raising Of large
missionary funds. The Christian
Church. will raise its missionary
funds by asking each member to give
regularly to this cause Just as he
gives regularly to his local church
In accordance with this plan the
churches of this denomination in this
county will make an every member
canvass within the next few weeks
The total to be raised for mission will
be forty thousand dollars.
The great Methodist denomination
will attempt to secure In special
fund $S5,OOO.O00 during this year. The
M. E. Churches in Mason county viii
help in the raising of that fund. 81
likewise the members of the M. E
Church, South, of this county will
help their denomination to raise ST.,
100000 a year for five years. Tht
other denominations are making spe
rial efforts to have large gifts also
| All this is made necessary because o

work. With the same spirit in which
the true American helped his countr.
in the war measures whether he hat
means with which to do 1t or not. s,
the urgent need Of properly bringing
the Christ and His principles of livini
before the Christless peoples Of thi

HEALTH OFFICER
ISSUES Warning
| TO CITY PEOPLE
Eight Cases Of Influenza Developed
In Maysyllle Wednesday-County
Reports 9l Cases Which
Shows n Slight Decrease.

Eight new cases OF influenza de-
veloped in the city OF Maysville on
Wednesday. This is more cases than
have developed in the city since the
first Of the year and City and County
Health Officer Locke this morning is
sued warning to the people of Mays
vile to be very careful about the
spread Of the disease. He said that
the city Is faring well considering
the number Of cases In parts of the
county and he wants the people to be
careful and prevent the spread of the
disease again in the city.
On Wednesday physicians reported
81 new cases in the county. This was
slight decrease from Tuesday when
100 cases were reported. The most of
these cases are In the Orangeburg
Helena and Washington neighbor-
hoods and all people in the county are
urged to be very careful to prevent
the spread to other parts of the coun.
ty.
DR.. Locke points out that there is
yet no cause for alarm in the city and
says that If the same precautionary
methods are adopted by the people Of
Maysville voluntarily that were
adopted before the first of the year
there will be no serious outbreak Of
the disease in the city.
School teachers have been instruct
ed to send back to their homes any
children who have colds or show any

STATE EDUCATIONAL
CAMPAIGN IS TO Be
INAUGURATED HERE
Prominent Men VIII Speak During
Great Drive Of the Kentucky llllt.
eracy Commlsslon-Speakers
Coming Here.

The most stupendous educational
campaign ever seen In the South will
be put on in Kentucky by the Ken
lucky Illiteracy Commission. Champ
Clark, w. ]. Bryan, Senator Beckham,
Governor Stanley, Judge R. W. Bing-
ham, Secretary Lane, Governor
Brough, Of Arkansas; Governor Bick-
ett, of North Carolina, and presidents
Of colleges, universities, lawyers, lay
men, preachers and hundreds of 9TH
ers will be invited to take part in the
campaign. 1t will be inaugurated
during the summer just before the
summer schools open. The purpose
Is to stir the illiterates and get them
to take advantage Of the opportunities
to learn to read and write. The cam
paign slogan will be to blot out illit-
eracy in 1919, or in other words mo
illiteracy in Kentucky. Although the
campaign is intended mainly to stir
the illiterates to get an education, yet
It is expected to have tremendous
impetus for education generally.
The fact that this is the year for
politics in Kentucky will not deter the
commission. In fact, all the candi-
dates are expected to take part in
the campaign, and 1t is the hope of
the commission to put on such a tre-
mendous campaign that politics will
be pushed into the background.
The cost of maintaining the COM
missions force of field agents and
clerks during the last and this year
is far in excess of the appropriation
of the legislature, so that it is not un-
likely that call for aid will be made
prior to the campaign.
As Maysville and Mason county
have long been staunch supporters Of
the mo Illiteracy" Campaign and as
the moonlight schools in this county
have accomplished much, it is GER
tain that some of these great speak
ers will be sent to Mason county.

Ellen Ruth Freshour

After months of patient suffering,
Mrs. Ellen Ruth Freshour passed
away in st. Anthony's hospital to
which she had been removed a few
days before her death. She made a
brave fight for life but her condition
was such that recovery was impos-
sible. She was a woman of large
heart and generous hand. Her good
ness, kindness and helpfulness all en-
deared her to her friends and neigh
bors who are truly bereaved at the
loss of so excellent a woman. Her
brief fifty years of life were filed
with usefulness and service to all who
needed her and she leaves a record
that should be a comfort and a solace
to the dear ones she leaves behind.
We extend our deepest sympathy to
the bereaved family and friends. Rev.
West conducted the funeral service
