IMPORTANT NOTICE BY
MAYSVILLE WATER CO.

A series Of unavoidable mishaps at
our pumping station have made 1T ne
cessary for us TO shut down our house
pumps for several days. While those
pumps are being repaired, and other
requirements are being made, we are
forced to depend upon one small bank
pump for our supply of water for the
city's fire protection, for the use of
our public utilities and manufacturing
plants, and for the strictly domestic
consumption Of majority OF the resi-
dents Of Maysyllle. That bank pump
can and will furnish us with suifie-
lent supply for those several purposes,
II our consumers will exercise proper
care in the use Of water; but 1t can
not deliver enough water to our reser-
vOir basins to offset any continuance
of the excessive and illegal wastage of
water through street and garden. hose
with which we have had to contend
during the past several weeks. Con-
sequently, we are compelled tofnotlfy
all consumers that they must, at once,
cease all street sprinkling, watering of
gardens and lawns, washing of auto
mobiles and other vehicles, and all
other uses Of our water supply which
are not absolutely necessary to the
safety Of the property of our residen
and the maintenance of the economic
and domestic life of our city,. Under
no circumstance, will we make any ex-
ception in the enforcement of this or.
der, because of the gravity of the sit.
uatiOn during the next few days.. Any
and every service from which water
is used for any of the purposes pro.
hibited by this notice, (until due ad.
vice Is given, through the public press
that such usage Is again permissible)
will IMMEDIATELY be shut of, with,
out any further notice.
We trust that every citizen will real
lie, at once, the imperative necessity
of our action In this matter, and will
lend us a whOle-hearted support, to
the end that we will not be forced tt
resort to drastic measures In single
instance.

LOCAL REVENUE OFFICE

Collector of Internal Revenue For the
State Informs Local Deputy Col
lector That Maysvllle District
Office VIII Be Continued.

Although 1t appeared on the face of
arrangements that were made for
eight branch Internal Revenue offices
when the entire state was consolidated
into one office and Hon. Elwood Ham
iiton, of Lexington, was appointed
State Collector, that the district office
In Maysville would be discontinued, 1t
is now learned that sucn is not the
case.
Mr.. William Lindsay, deputy collec-
tor in charge of the local office, re-
turned Wednesday evening from Lex
ington where he had been in confer
ence with Collector Hamilton and at
that meetig, Mr.. Hamilton assured Mr..
Lindsay that the Maysville office
would be continued and that Mr.. Lind
say would remain in charge of the Of
fee here.
This will be very good news to the
many users of Internal Revenue
Stamps who would have been greatly
inconvenienced had the local office
been discontinued

Mr.. Dodds and his splendid family
have won their way into the hearts of
the people of Maysville and there will
always be a spot there reserved for
the Dodds. They will leave Maysville
with everyone who had the pleasure
of knowing them either in the busi-
ness, social or religious life in the city
deeply regretting their going and with
the best wishes of everyone in the city
of all classes. We doubt IL there has

.PLANSFOR TOBACCO
and CORN FAIR TO Be
MADE WEDNESDAY
Directors of the Chamber Of Com
merce and Local Business Men
Interested In Big Corn and
Tobacco Fair WIN Meet
Wednesday to Plan
For This Year.

At the meeting of the Board of d.
rectors of the Maysville Chamber OF
Commerce held on Wednesday even
ing the next annual Corn and Tobacco
Fair came up for discussion and the
matter was pretty thoroughly gone in
to. 1t was the concensus of opinion
Of the directors present that the fair
should be held in Maysville this fall
and that it should be the biggest and
best fair yet undertaken by the local
interests.
In order that everything might get
lined up and started on the proper
track, the directors decided that on
next Wednesday evening there would
be a meeting of the directors and the
local business men interested in see
ing the fair this year great success,
held on next Wednesday evening at
the Chamber of Commerce building
when the details of the fair will be
discussed and some definite plan Will
be decided upon.
Because of the influenza epidemic
last fall and winter, the 1918 fair was
called of by the committee in charge
and for this reason it is thought that
the fair this year should be much big
ger and better. The local business
men are very much interested know
ing that 1t will be great success and
that 1t is one of the. best advertise
ments the city of Maysville and her
business men have. Nothing will be
left undone to make the fair a really
big one this year.

TOBACCO CROP OF
STATE BURNING up
Early Corn and Tobacco Both Begin
ming to "Fire- As Result of Long
Dry Spell Throughout
the State.

Louisville. KY, July 30.-The sum-
mary of weather and crop conditions
in Kentucky for the week ending July
20, 1919, follows:
Very little rain occurred during the
week, while temperatures were gener-
ally above. normal and sunshine abun-
dant-conditions favorable for COM
pletion of thresher and hay harvest.
Drought is becoming serious in
many districts. Early corn and to-
bacco are beginning to "fire" in some
places, and tobacco is not spreading
properly on account Of dry weather.
Late corn and late tobacco are still
doing well. though tobacco is irregu-
lar in size and are in a good state of
cultivation, but need moisture to ac-
celerate growth. Much tobacco is
near the topping stage, but will not
spread unless rain comes.
The progress of all growing crops
is being checked by dry soil. Mead
ows need rain, especially clover, to
start the second growth. Pastures are
becoming short in many sections, es-
pecially in the west-central portion of
the state. Truck and gardens are do
ing fairly well, but some vegetables
are deteriorating, tomatoes being par
| ticularly affected by the dry hot
weather during the week. Many black
berries were picked, but they are dry
ing upon the bushels, and the season
Of ripening has extended over an ex-
ceptionally long period.
