Good Audience Last
Night.

AS the revival at the First Baptist

The wonderful sermons DR.. Bailey is
preaching every evening are attract
ing these large audiences coupled with
the splendid music being rendered un-
der the direction of Mr.. Carl Dodds.
Those who have not yet heard DR..
Bailey should certainly take advant-
age during the next few evenings to
hear this strong evangelist. His SER
mons are different from the usual
evangelist and everyone attending
can find some place in the sermon
something they can appropriate.
His address Wednesday evening was
on Where God Breaks Through. He
carried his hearers back to the cross
in a strong appeal for the old time
religion of the cross. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Dodds sang beautrrul duet.
The subject for this evening will be
"Where The Light Go Out On The
Road to He'll" Every unsaved man
and woman in Maysville should hear
this sermon. Everyone is cordially
invited. Song sarvice at 1880, preach
ing begins at 8 o'clock.

URGED TO MAKE

Only Few Days Left Before Go.to.Sun.
day.SchoOl.Day and all Schools
In Mason County Want Large
Attendance.

All local Sunday School Superinten-
dents and leading workers are In re-
ceipt of a letter from General Secre-
tary George A. Joplin Of the State Sun
day School Association urging that ev-
cry school and every member OF every
school put forth his best efforts to
make next Sunday, the sixth Go-to-
Sunday School Day, the best yet. The
schools thruout the state suffered
big slump on account fthe influenza
epidemic, and 1t has been just few
weeks since things began to take on
real life again. In this campaign an
earnest effort is being made to win
back all lost ground and to add one
hundred thousand new scholars to
Kentucky's Sunday Schools.
In concluding his letter DR.. Joplin
says: "Now let's pitch into this work
with renewed vigor. Let's make good
with the opportunities that are ahead
Of us. The Church of Christ rises or
falls with the Sunday School. Never
was there an hour when the Church
of Christ was more vitality affected by
the efficiency Of this organization than
at the present hour; defeat of the Sum-
day School, if continued, spells disas-
ter to the church in America"
"Any weakening of the Church, any
lessening of her strength, and de-
crease of her power, anything that in
any way undermines the influence and
power of the Church Of Christ, simply
means striking blow at America
more disastrous than any Hun could
ever deliver"
This is a campaign for one hundred
thousand new members for the Sunday
School of Kentucky. Keep 1t up!
Keep it up! We must win. Each one
won counts just one. One by one the
one hundred thousand will be won.
Put everybody in your school to work,
and on May fifth report your school as
one that went over the top"
Maysville and Mason county should
Ger. sinly do their part in this. great
campaign. Only three more working
days; let every moment of time be
used in securing the great victory.

Prof. Caplinger's term of office did
not expire for another turl year but
he handed his resignation to the board
stating that as only three members of
the present board had anything to do
with his selection, he felt that he
should resign and give all of the new
board an opportunity TO select their
own superintendent. Superintendent
Caplinger's resignation was unani-
mously accepted and instead of electing
him for the one remaining year of his
unexpired term, the board members
unanimously reelected him foi. fuii
term of three years. This action wes
taken because the members of the
present board realized through exper-
ience that Prof. Caplinger's work as
Superintendent had been entirely sat
isfactory. In fact, the members of the
board say that he is one of the most
efficient and hard working heads the
Maysville Schools have ever had.
While Prof. Caplinger is a first class
educator such as cannot be found ev-
cry day, he is more than that, in that,
he is a first class manager and since
his first election as City Superintend-
ent the Maysville Schools have gone
forward steadily until they have be-
come to be recognized as among the
best schools in the state.
Prof. Caplinger is a great believer
in the adage that "The best is always
the cheapest" and carrying out this
plan in the city schools, he has gath
cred corps of instructors in all the
schools unsurpassed throughout the
state.
The election of Prof Caplinger at
this time to a full term of three years
is not only great compliment to him
but this announcement will meet the
approval of the entire public. Mays
vile has not had school Superinten-
dent since that office was created who
has given more general satisfaction in
every manner
In the fregular annual election of
teachers the board made several i'm
portant changes. Chief among these
important changes was the election Of
Prof. J. W. Young as Supervisor of
Music in the city schools. Prof. Young
is the director of the Maysville Boys
Band. He has demonstrated beyond
doubt his ability to fmpart musical
knowledge and his selection will be
very pleasing to the parents of the
children. With Prof. Young in the
chair of music, we are expecting some
wonderful development in music
throughout the city schools and first
class High School Orchestra.
Other changes were the election Of
Prof. George ]. Noel to the chair Of
Sciences and the Office of Athletic Di-
rector at the High School Prof. Noel
held these offices last year but resign
ed to answer the call TO the colors. His
return will be welcomed. Miss Eliza
beth Morgan was elected to the chair
Of History in the High School. Miss
Katie Bauer was not a, candidate for
second and third grade teacher at the
Forest Avenue School and Miss Bes-
sic Bauer, her sister, was elected to
her position. Miss Mary r. Lloyd was
not d candidate for her old position as
principal OF the Sixth ward school and
Miss Fanny worthington was elected
to this important position.
The other old teachers we're re-
elected. The entire corps follows:
w. J. caplInger. Superintendent Of
Schools.

One feature that seemed to inter

commented on the fine apples,
grapes. cherries and peaches shown.
The fact that in Lubbock, one can
have a garden all summer long, as
well as abundance Of fruit, appealed
to many.
The excellent water supply was
another feature that Interested many

Mr.. Briggs was elected president
of the Exhibitors Association. This

ask the legislature to appropriate
sufficient funds to erect an agricul-
tural building on the fair grounds

TO make a permanent EXHIBIT from

The Fair is over. And while the
were not as large, yet il was great
fair.
Lubbock's part was big success,
despite the loss Of part of our exhib-
it. Thousands Of people visited the
Lubbock booth. and never was such
an interest manifested in this cOun-
try as this year Literally hundreds
Of people stated their intention of
coming TO this section. One thing
noticeable, was the fact that, while a
few years ago. large percentage Of
the people stopping at the Lubbock
booth, asked where Lubbock was sit
uated. During this fair less than a
dozen of the thousands, asked that
question, and il was surprising the
intelligence with which people dis
cussed this country, showing that
the steady pounding away through
the Chamber Of Commerce of this
city. has put Lubbock on the map.
Many people stated that they we're
tired of being rained out from year
to year, and having their cotton eat
en- up by the boil weevil. Some far
mers said that on land worth 5000 90
per acre, that the boil weevil had
destroyed their cotton two years in
succession, and that the rain had
ruined the rest of their crops.
Travelling through the country,
one could see thousands of acres Of
cotton, in which the only crop to be
