ON TO CORBIN
Avalanche OF Shrincrs to Hit There
on the 18th Of May
Over 100 Candidates Assured

bin is wondering what is coming off
on the 18th and guesses have been
made all the way from a Carnival
to a Circus, but that goes to show
that the people in this neck Of the
woods are sure that something ex-
traordinary is going to happen in
that place and they are truly cor
rect about that. The only reason
they cannot locate the exact name
for It is because they never saw any
thing like ii before and il will be
some time before they fasten their
lights on anything similar to 1t
again. For, verify, the goose is cook
ed and the cats are loose and pre-
parations have been made for a
Shrine feast such as local Shriners
never attended. On that day the
old will become young again and out
strip their grand children: the
young will in turn Jazz themselves
dizzy and there will be one glorious
mixture of fools, fun and fezzes.
On all sides you will hear the tri-
umphant shout: "Oh! Desert, where
is thy dampness? Oh! Camel, where
is thy kick" From a. m. Satur-
day morning, the hour of the. arri-
val OF the Louisville Special, until
2 a. m. Sunday morn, the hour Of
its departure, every moment will be
full of real Shriners and real Shrine
stunts.
At 1880 the parade starts. A
regular Shrine Parade with the Ko-
sair Band, their $4,000 costumes
and these assisted by that line of
hungry, moon eyed novices. The
whole town will be in gala attire.
All business houses will wear elab-
crate dress in honor of the occasion,
while banners and flags will fill the
streets. Corbin aims to do her part
for the visiting mobiles.
Then comes that ceremonial,
staged as only Kosair can stage
them. You mobiles of Kosair know
what that means to those shivering
hosts of knowledge seekers that are
awaiting without hold of that rope,
Some have expressed their desire for
a good deal. They want their mon
ey's worth. The mobiles from each
town will please see to this for 1t
is the desire of the committee that
each man be satisfied when he leaves
the hall after the ceremonial. An
extra stage has been built out in the
auditorium of the Majestic theatre
and there is plenty of room. All
can fall and not be in each others
way while there will be ample room
for breezing about when the c7e sands
get too warm.
Then have you heard about those
ministries? Took Louisville by
storm. Ran three nights and two
afternoons and then did not take
care of the crowds. They are all
coming to Corbin and with the ori-
ginal line. A tent has been secured
for the occasion, but its capacity is
limited. Two performances will be
given, in the afternoon and night,
but an early purchase of tickets is
suggested. Seats will not be reserv-
ed until the doors are opened, first
come, first served.
The mirth of the minstrel will be
carried on into the street in the
form of u jubilee. No favorites in
this fracus. No one; is outside of
the money. If you have a stunt,
stage it. You will be given the op-
portunity. A band stand is now up
in front of Sutherland's Drug Store
and the streets will be cleaned. Ex-
ira lights will be provided and moth
ing will mar the nights jollification
Brother, that's a mouthful of stun
but we mean to strut it. a. EtH--'
noble from the sore footed, neck
rung, rib-jarred, leg-pulled, goat
riding novice to the Most August
Potentate is going to say that it
has been a day for Eastern Ken
lucky. You'll be talking about it
from the chimney corner fifty years
from now with your grand children
around you. II will be bodily i'm
pressed on the goats" and mental
ly forced on the rest and when the
last wild Arab yell shall have died
away amidst its echoes against the
distant mountains and the last
weary sojourner shall have pillowed
his throbbing head 'gainst a friend
ly pillow, then, and only then, will
the chipmunk come out again and
this section go back to it's normal
course after a day OF unprecedented
fun and fellowship.
All that come will be taken care
