More Truth Than Poetry

MASTER AND SLAVE
A dog looks Up at you and smiles,
And wegs his tail in alteration.
He has ali sorts Of tricks and wiles
To earn your kindly appreciation.
He's always joyfully on hand,
Ii makes no difference how you treat him.
Although it breaks his heart he'll stand
And let you beat him.
A cat looks down on you and sneers
And though be Stimulates affection.
behind your back he slyIy jeers
Whene' er he looks in your direction.
Well fed, he is of goodly nIien,
Like downy velvet pads his paws are,
But cuff him, and you'll find how keen
And quick his claws are
The dog sticks with you to the end
Through trouble, shipwreck or disaster,
Your slave he is. your pal. your friend;
he sees in you his lord and master.
The cat, although he seems demure
Disslmulates in every feature.
You feed and bed him, so he's sure
That you're his creature
You've got to hand it to the cat,
He feels superior-never doubt it.
And there is ground for thinking that
He possibly is right about it.
But though the way he plays his part
With admiration often fires you,
The dog gets closer to your heart,
For he admires you'll

that it was one of the best educational
films ever shown in Maysville and one
that should be seen by every young
man in the community.
The picture deals with the big sex
problems with unbared hands and
those who see 1t are certain not to

The fire which started in trash pile
back of a retail store, was spread by
strong winds over wide territory,
and famed out Of control for several
hours during which the business and

tions, and few of the buildings destroy
ed were of modern construction. The
fire was finally stopped at the western
boundary of the Alabama Dry Dock

To Take Trip.

The beautiful new excursion steam
er Verne Swaine comes tomorrow
and will make her first voyage out of
Maysville Friday on a moonlight
trip which will likely take many Mays
vile and Mason county people
This is the SWANS first trip through
this section of the Ohio river. AL
though practically new, the boat has
been running excursions on the Miss
issippi river and has proven a most
popular boat there. She expects to
spend the summer season at Pitts
burgh but will make two trips through
the Cincinnati district before leaving
for her up-river trip.
On next Sunday the Swain will take
an excursion from this city to Cincin-
natl for the day and return.
The boat is one of the prettiest on
the river and is sidewheel steamer
The dancing pavilion is the only one
afloat that does not have posts in the
center of the floor and is probably the
most beautiful. The boat carries a
first class dance orchestra and all the
concessions that makes river excur-
sion interesting and worth while. II
is expected that there will be many
on the first trip Friday.

County Commissioner W. HOltOn Key
Makes Announcement Of Much In.
terest TO Boys Of the County.

Montgomery, Alabama, has nothing
on Mason county when 1t comes to do
Ing things in novel way. Mr.. Key,
Commissioner Of Roads for Mason
county issues the announcement that
he expects to offer several prizes to
the boys of the county that haul the
most rock on the roads, before Sep
tember 1st
Mr.. Key desires to announce that a
prize Of SIS will be awarded to the
boy that hauls the most rock on the
road before September l, $40 to the
boy hauling the second greatest
amount and $5 to the boy hauling the
third greatest amount. The only re-
quirements being that the boys must
notify Road Engineer Simons or Judge
Purnell that they intend to compete
for the prizes, and that they notify one
of them of the amount of rock hauled
and the road upon which they were
hauled.
Every boy in Mason county is urged
to enter this contest and help bring
the roads up to the standard. In addi-
tion to the prize that the boy wins, he
will also be paid the regular price for
hauling the rock-every boy that en-
ters this contest will receive the regu-
lar pay for hauling the rock.
Mr.. Key suggests that each school
teacher of the county lend their help
in encouraging the boys of their school
to enter the contest, as it will be quite
an honor to the school, producing the
prize winning rock hauling boy. Dur
! ing our conversation with Mr.. Key he
offered very good suggestion to the
teachers of the county. He believes
that every teacher should encourage
the boys and girls to have an interest
/ in their county to the extent that they
Will desire to see it one of the best
lcountes in the state. AS an illustra,
ton he said he would desire to see the
youth of the county so interested that

Let's all encourage these boys ant
girls to cleanup and paint up abou
their homes so that as they grow into
young womanhood and manhood, they
will be interested in not only making
money but making their county one o.
the most desirable in the state, ir

ABERDEEN TOBACCO
DEALER HANGS SELF
IN BARN near NOON
Andy Campbell, Well Known Brown
County Tobacco Buyer Found In
Barn ON His Farm ut Noon
Today Hanging From
q Rafter.

Mr.. Andrew Campbell, aged 81, sim
gle, tobacco buyer and trader, was
found hanging dead from rafter in
barn on his farm short distance from
Aberdeen about noon today by one Of
his brothers. Mr. Campbell had been
mentally unbalanced for the past two
weeks but was not thought to be dan
gerous to himself or others.
He was watching his brother and
several men repair strip Of fence
this morning and left them to go to the
barn. Thinking that he was staying at
the barn an unusually long time, his
brother went to the barn and there
found his body hanging by small
rope which had been taken from the
well bucket near by the barn.
During last winter Mr.. Campbell op-
Grated on the Maysville tobacco mar
ket every day being in partnership
with Mr.. George Mitchell, of this city,
in the tobacco business. He was an
unusually shrewd trader and splen-
did Judge Of tobacco and is said to
have made large fortune in tobacco
last winter. He was a clever gentle
man and held in high esteem through
out the community where he lived but
once before his mind became affected
and for some time he was in bad con-
dition. He was treated and was
thought to have entirely recovered but
about two weeks ago he was again no
ticed acting strangely and since that
time his relatives have been watching
him closely.

UNIFORM LIGHTING FOR
STORE WINDOWS SUGGESTED
Maysvllle Gas Company Proposes New
System Of Lighting Store Show
windows In Business District
Under New Contract.

Another interesting phase OF the
new contract which the city Is about
to make with the Maysville Gas Com
pany for the lighting of the city is the
uniform system of lighting show win
dows in the entire city.
The proposed fifty boulevard lights
to be erected in the business district
will be turned on from the plant at
dark and will be turned off at IL
o'clock each night except the corner
lights which will be permitted to burn
until morning.
On the same circuit with these be-
tween corner boulevard lights, the
company proposes to put all window
lights in the various stores in the
business district. These lights will be
turned on with the boulevard lights
and will be turned off with them SO
that the business men will not have
to bother with their ngnts. Inc coHi-
pany also proposes to take care of the
lights in the windows, keeping them in
first class condition and clean at all
times. They propose to make a fiat
rate to the business men for this
lighting and service and such an ar
rangement would give to our business
section some uniform system of light
ing such as is in vogue in larger cities
throughout the country.
This system seems to meet with the
approval of the majority of business
men and will probably be part Of the
new city contract.
