County Treasurer Wood Thompson,

ington Director OF Commercial Club.
A very fine supper was prepared for
the visiting gentlemen and Directors
by Mine Host Daugherty at the Cen
tral Hotel
At the conclusion of the meal Mr..
G. H. Frank, toastmaster for the even
ing, called upon Judge H. p. Purnell
for few remarks. Judge Purnell in
few well chosen words welcomed
the gentlemen from West Union and
stated that words failed in his humble
endeavor to express to them how glad
the Board of Directors of the Cham
ber Of Commerce were of the oppor
tunity to entertain them as their
guests.
He further stated that it Is not the
intention of the business men of Mays
vile to be selfish and unable to recog-
nize the fact that our neighbors are
entitled to their proportionate share
of business and with such a thought
in mind an invitation had been sent to
the West Union Commercial Club to
have a delegation meet with some of
the representative business men of the
community, in social way.
He apprised them of the fact that
Maysville. In her endeavor to create
only the best tobacco, cattle and live

effort put forth, for it is recognized
that a good big market furnishes a
better opportunity for the sale of the |
products than small one. He urged
the continued assistance of the men
from Southern Ohio and in this sec

West Union If the men of Maysville |
could be of any assistance to them and
cooperate for the development of |
Adams county, they would only have
to make their wants known.
Mr.. S. R. Edgington, one of the Di-
rectors Of the West Union Club in re-
sponse to Judge Purnell's kind words |
of welcome assured the representa-
tives of Mason county that the busi-

the fact in numbers there is strength,
and if that county was to grow as the
representative business men desired |
it should, it was very essential that
they stretch out and join hands with
the progressive citizens of all the ad-
jacent counties.
He expressed his appreciation of the
courtesy extended the men by the To-
cal Chamber of Commerce and as
sured them that the men of his COM

crate with the citizens of Mason coun-
Iy and strive for the desired develop

Eastern Kentucky territory.
Mr.. Frank, told the men that he
greatly appreciated the fact of their
