it is expected that her first appear

interest that will be created in the

Maysville girl, the picture will attract
many because of its plot.

EDDINS Case IS
AGAIN POSTPONED
BY AN Agreement
Murder Case VIII Not BE Called Next
Week As Had Been Planned But
Has Been Set For Trial on
Monday, January 3.

The trial of Henry L. Eddins
charged with the murder of Ben Schu-
maker which was to have been called
Immediately following the opening OF
the December term of the Mason Cir
cult Court next week, has again been
postponed by an agreement reached
this morning by District Prosecutor B.
S. Grannis and attorneys representing
the prisoner.
1t had previously been arranged to
call the murder case the first week of
court and get all criminal cases out
of the way but because of the serious
illness of Mrs. B. S. Grannis. who will
undergo an operation at Lexington to-
morrow, it is likely that the prosecu-
tor will be unable to attend court reg
ularly during the first of the term.
The agreement reached by the at
torneys this morning fixes the re-
trial for Monday, January 3rd. 1t is
thought that this will give plenty of
time for the long trial to be finished
before the close of the December term.
Several will cases which have been
hanging fire for some time will likely
be called during the first of the term.

strongest teams to be. found in Ken

lege and university teams and is cal.
culated to create much interest in
basket ball throughout this section

REVIVAL PLANS
At THIRD Street
CHURCH ARE MADE
Former Popular Pastor VIII BE the
Evangelist at Revival Which
Begins on Next Sunday
Evening.

Extensive preparations are being
made for the special revival services
to begin at the Third Street Nj. T.
church next Sunday and run for two
weeks. The choir met last evening for
organization and rehearsal OF several
new revival songs for the meeting.
They will meet again Friday evening
at which every singer in the church
is expected to be present. The prayer
service tomorrow evening should be
attended by every member OF the
church and others who are interested
In the religious welfare of the COM
munity.
Rev. E. R. Overly, of Newport. for
merly popular pastor of Third Street
church, and who has steadily ad-
vanced In the ministry until he is now
the pastor of one of Kentucky Meth
odist's strongest churches, will be the
evangelist. He will arrive Monday
and preach his first time Monday eve
ming. No more earnest preacher OF
the Gospel ever occupied the pulpit OF
this church than Rev. Overly. And
wherever he has preached the same
report goes out of his ministry. Then
he is a most likable man, making
scores and hundred of friends wher-
ever he is pastor. His services as
pastor have been sought by many oi
the best churches of the state. Third
street church is very fortunate in Sc
curing him for this special meeting
and there should be no bar to a sue
cessful meeting. Although the Christ
mas holidays are approaching there is
no one but that can give some time
each day in the Lords service. The
membership of the church especially
Is asked to so arrange their affairs
that nothing may hinder the succes:
of the meeting. The church extends
warm and friendly invitation to the
public In general to attend.

MOVING PICTURES May
Be INSTALLED IN SCHOOL
Maysville High School May Add Nov.
ing Picture Machine To Its
Present Equipment

The student body and faculty of
the Maysville High School may add a
moving picture machine and outfit to
the present equipment of the local
school. it became known last night
when Superintendent W ]. Carlinser
informed the Board of Education OF a
proposition which a large magazine
publisher had made to the school.
Visual education is taking a great
part in the present day system of edu-
cation and many of the first class high
schools Of the country have already
installed moving picture equipments.
The National and State educational
boards offer free to these schools
equipped to use them. films of an edu-
cational nature.
The proposition offered the local
school appears to be a good one. The
students and faculty ere offsred one
half of the subscription price OF a ma
tonal magazine for the purpose OF
purchasing such an outfit. 1t is be-
iieved that the local student body and
faculty can obtain one thousand sub
scriptions at one dollar each giving
them $500 with which to purchase the
equipment This system would add
the moving picture equipment without
the expenditure of one cent by the
school beard.
1t appears that the school board will
endorse the movement and the action
OF the students and the faculty will
be announced later. a
