Promoting Happiness.

God has given understanding to
man, to be employed for his glory in
promoting the happiness of his crea-
lures; and in nothing that belongs to
earth can the human understanding
be more worthily employed than in
the researches of science and In the
works of invention.-Chief Justice

Absorbing the Bible.

Reading Gods Word is one thing |;
to look at it in the right light is am
other. 1t is like this: A man may
see the figures on the dial, but he can
not tell how the day goes unless the
sun shines or the dial. SO, also, is
reading the Bible-unless the spirit
shines within our hearts it is likely
that we will not get the correct inter-
probation.

old Blue LICK vein
STRUCK near myers
Famous Water Which Has Been Lost
For Years Is Found While Sinking
OIL Well Near Myers Station.

Word was brought to Maysvlle this
afternoon that the famous old Blue
Lick vein which has been lost for
many years was accidentally found a
few days ago near Myers station when
drilling for oil. 1t is understood that
the vein struck is a very strong one
and that the water Is pouring forth in
a large stream. Folks who have great
ly enjoyed the famous water will be
glad to know Of this discovery. Plans
are already under way to bottle water
and many folks throughout this Sec
tion of the state are now hauling 1t
away.
1t will be remembered that several
years ago the vein at the famous old
Blue Lick Springs sank into the
ground mysteriously and could not
be found again. Hundreds of dollars
were spent by the owners of the prop
erty to find the vein again and some
ten or fifteen holes were bored into the
ground but all failed to find the lost
water.
Blue Lick water was for years
among the most popular of mineral
waters In the United States and there
is every reason to believe that it will
take its old place in a short time.

ing the greatest program ever given

welcome for the soldier boys.
A big country dinner is to be served

permitted to bring his wife, mother,
sister, or sweetheart, as the case may
be. Soldiers will not be charged the
usual admission fee at the gate.
President Grigsby Is enthusiastic
over the outlook for glorious day.
This annual reunion Of the old settlers
always draws an immense crowd. Last
year many of the boys we're away.
This year it will be happy reunion
of all.

Lewis Harris, Mason county negro
man, convicted several months ago by
a Mason County Jury on a charge of

trocution have been received here. The
Mason county officials are expecting

the State Penitentiary in few days.
No one from Maysville was present at
the execution.
The body will arrive here Saturday
evening and be taken direct to the
Maysville cemetery for burial in a lot
provided by his aged mother, who was
so loyal to him during the trial of the
case.
Harris is the third man to be elec.
trocuted from Mason county in the
last twenty-five years--the other two
being the Smith brothers-and much
interest was taken in the case here.

SMALLPOX SITUATION WILL
Be HANDLED At AUGUSTA
Mason County Health Officer Re-
ports That II VIII Not Be Neces.
sary For This County to Take
Any Steps at Present.

DR.. Rice, Mason County Health Of
ficer, returned Thursday from Augusta
where he had spent the day investigat-
ing the smallpox situation in that town
and reports that the local and state
boards of health now have the situa-
tion we'll in hand and that he does not
think 1t necessary for Mason county
to take any action at present to pre-
vent the spread Of the disease in this
county.
DR.. Rice says that the smallpox is
in very mild form and that all Of the
cases are being quarantined. DR.. Fur
nish, of Covington, is on hand to han
die the situation for the State Board OF
Health and he informed DR.. Rice that
he would handle the situation from
that end of the line and II 1t became
necessary he would place a quarantine
on the entire town Of Augusta making
it unnecessary for the other towns and
cities nearby to take any quarantine
action Upon this information DR.. Rice
is letting the matter rest and does not
see 1t necessary to take any action
just at this time.

NO BOY SCOUT DRIVE
IN MASON COUNTY

Mr.. James B. Wood, who is chair
man for Mason county in the Boy
Scout Associate Membership drive
which begins in the state of Kentucky
tomorrow, today stated that after con-
sidering the matter he had reached
the conclusion that a drive for finan-
cial support in Mason county at this
time would not be proper because the
Mason county people do not thor
oughly understand the scout move
ment and because of the many calls
for financial assistance coming just at
this time here. Mr.. Wood hopes to
have the Boy Scout movement in Ma
son county in splendid condition for
such drive later.

TAX ASSESSMENT
FOR MASON COUNTY
APPROVED BY BOARD
Assessment As Returned BY County
Board Of Supervisors Is Approved
BY State Tax Commission.

The Kentucky State Tax Commits
sion on Thursday approved the tax as
sessment as returned by the Mason
County Board of Tax Supervisors and
certified 1t to State Auditor Green. The
recapitulation shows that the total
amount of taxes due the state of Ken
lucky from Mason county is $84,7S4.25
while there is total Of $1S,91S,723
subject to county taxation.
The Mason County Commissioners
have not as yet fixed the tax levy for
the fiscal year This was to have been
done several days ago but the commits
sioners are holding uD this action un-
til after the road tax election on Sat-
urday, June IA, so as to tell about
what will be needed for road work for
the ensuing year.
1t will be remembered that the State
Tax Commission at first requested a
great increase in the assessment in
Mason county and that one board of
supervisors resigned rather than tc
make the increase. The last board ap-
pointed, however, made an increase of
about per cent. over last year and 1t
is quite relief to know that the state
Commission has accepted these fie-
ures and has approved them to the
auditor.
