COMMERCE BOARD DIRECTORS
TO HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING
Chautauqua ana Fourth Of July Cele.
bratlOn to BE Taken Up BY Busi.
ness Men at Meeting Tonight
COMMITTEES to BE
Chosen.

A very important meeting Of the
Board Of Directors Of the Maysville
Chamber of Commerce is scheduled
for this evening. At called meeting
Of the directors held recently three
new directors were chosen and 1t is
expected that at tonights meeting the
entire board will be present and very
important matters which have been
pending for some time can be taken
up.
Chief among the matters of import
ance awaiting the attention of the di-
rectors Is the Chautauqua for this
year and the Fourth of July celebra-
tion in honor of the returned soldiers
of Mason county. Already enough
season tickets have been subscribed
for to assure successful chautauqua
this season and the only matter left
for the directors and guarantors of
the chautauqua to do is to select the
program of talent. 1t is about time
for all these plans to be mapped ou,
and working and it is thought that
this matter will come up for discus
sion at this meeting.
The matter of the Fourth of July
celebration for the returned soldiers
will also come before the meeting and
the matter of accepting an offer of
the Old Settlers Association for the
1Iaysville Boys Band to play at Rug
giles Camp grounds on the Fourth of
July will also be taken up.
One of the most important matters
of business for disposal by the direc-
tors, however, will probably be the
appointing of committees for the
Chamber of Commerce for the year.

GRAND JURY WILL
NOT ADJOURN UNTIL
END OF THIS Term
Six Indictments Returned Friday
Morning and Jury Surprises All
BY Adjoining to Meet
April Goth.

That the Mason County Grand Jury
has other important business in hand
which they are not yet ready to dis
pose OF became known when the iury
reported into court Friday morning
about noon and informed the court.
after returning six new indictments
that they would adjourn to meet again
on April 29th, which is near the end
of the present term.
There have been very few Grand
Jurles that have extended their ses-
sions out over so long a time and il
appears that the members of the Jury
are expecting to develop something
within the next month that will need
their attention. What that something is
the Grand Jury has in mind is what
Is puzzling the folks just now. While
some are specializing what the jury
means to do by extending their term
out over practically the entire term
of court, others are considerable
worried. The action the Grand Jury
has thus far taken seems to prove
that they mean business and the en-
tire county will wait with much inter-
est for the jury's coming together
again the latter part of next month.
The Grand Jury displayed toda,
that they intend to break up coal
heaving in the city of Maysville for
they returned two indictments against
persons who are said to have pur-
chased coal from "heavers", charging
them with receiving stolen goods. Sew
eral times before those who stole coal
were indicted and punished but this
is the first time those who have DUR
chased the stolen coal have been in
dicted.
The indictments returned by the
Grand Jury today follow:
F. A. Simmons-Forgery
F. A. Simmons-Forgery.
Harry Warfeld-Forgery.
Rachel Lewis - Receiving stolen
goods.
Carry Varvell - Receiving stolen
goods.
VIII Carpenter-Gambling.
The minutes in the case against
Darnall Emmons held to the Grand
Jury from the City Police Court on a
charge Of cutting and wounding, were
returned, no indictment having been
found.

AUTOAND TRACTOR
SHOW IS SUGGESTED
FOR MAYSvILLE SOON
Meeting Of Automobile, Tractor and
Implement Dealers Called For Next
Week to Discuss Advisability
Of Having Show In This
City During Spring.

Secretary Dodds, of the Maysville
Chamber of Commerce, has directed
q letter to the automobile dealers,
garage men and truck and tractor
dealers as we'll as farm implement
dealers in Mason county asking that
they meet with him at the Chamber Of
Commerce building on next Wednes-
day to discuss the advisability Of hav-
ing an auto and tractor show in Mays
vile some time during the spring.
In his communication he sets out
that in Bristol, Tenn, they are plan
ming such an Exposition for the near
future to be held in a new and spe-
cially constructed $25,0O0 building to
display and create interest in pas
senger cars, trucks, tractors, acces-
sories, machinery and general exhibits
as we'll of used cars and aeroplanes.
Mr.. Dodds says that in talking over
the matter Of having such show In
Mason county this year with certain
local dealers, there seems to be very
favorable sentiment for such a
show. He points out that in all pro-
liability one Of the large tobacco ware
houses could be obtained for the show
and that 1t would offer a fine oppor-
tunity for advertising Of the unusual
kind and would create much interest
among the people Of this section in the
lines displayed.
All of the dealers are urged to at
tend the meeting on next Tuesday
evening when the matter will be thor
oughly discussed pro and con and at
that meeting it is more than likely
that something will be done toward
holding such an Auto and Tractor
show in Maysville within the next few
months.
Automobile shows have just been
held in Louisville and Cincinnati as
we'll as Lexington and other nearby
cities They have all proven wonder
full success and there seems to be no
reason why Maysville and Mason
county should not have successful
show.

he came to Maysville for the purpose
OF considering the location Of one of
his stores here and to sell stock to
local people. Upon the advise of
friends he investigated the city ordi-
