WHO WILL take THESE
TWO LITTLE TOTS?
Distracted Young Mother without
Means Asks Judge Purnell To Help
Her Find Home for Her Two
Fatherless Children.

Mrs. Oscar Dillon, aged twenty,
whose husband died several months
ago leaving her penniless, called at
County Judge II. p. Purnell's office
this afternoon and asked him to assist
her in getting her two children, a
daughter. aged months, and a son,
aged years, in good homes in this
community.
Mrs. Dillon formerly lived in Lewis
county and after her husbands death
she came to Maysville to endeavor to
make living for herself and her two
babies. She soon found that she would
be unable to work in the local tobacco
factories and keep her children with
her and she went to the home of a rel
ative in this county. She says she is
able to make her own living and that
it nearly breaks her heart to part with
her little ones but she feels that she
should be making her own way in life
and is willing to give her babies up
if she knows they are in good homes
where they will be properly reared.
As the Kentucky Children's Home is
filled to overflowing at the present
time, Judge Purnell will endeavor to
assist the young mother in finding
good homes for the little tots. Any
person in Mason county who will give
these little fatherless children good
homes should take the matter up with
Judge Purnell at once

MAYSVILLE HOLDS SECOND
PLACE AS TOBACCO MARKET
Lexington Only Exceeds Maysyille In
Sales of LOOseleaf Tobacco in Ken
tucky for the Season of 1890.

Although there was a considerable
falling off in pounds sold on the Mays
vile looseleaf tobacco market this
year because of the light weight of the
crop, Maysville holds second place
among the looseleaf markets of the
state according to announcement made
Monday by the State Commissioner of
Agriculture from his Office at Frank
fort
Lexington alone sold more tobacco
than Maysville while the other mar
kets of the state were far behind Mays
Vile in pounds sold. The average of
the Maysville market however, does
not compare as favorably as it might
have done but this is due, according to
the local tobacco men, to the very
poor quality of the tobacco grown in
this section in comparison with the
tobacco grown in other sections of the
state.
The official figures just announced
show that Lexington sold 63.6l1 .2S0
pounds during the season at a general
average of $461O. Maysville sold 21,-
O36,125 pounds at s2395: Shelbyville
sold 14.099.905 pounds at $29.SO. and
Paris sold 13,1S3,2S pounds at $44.21.
These averages show that the tobacco
grown in Bourbon and Fayette coun-
ties during the past season was of a
superior quality.

BEDSIDE NURSING
WILL Be CONTINUED
BY HEALTH BOARD
Health Department VIII BE Continued
As II Has Been Carried On In the
Past But More Intensively,
Dir. COvingtOn Says.

There has been much discussion
among officials and on the streets for
the past few days about the proposed
system of operating the re-organized
Health Department in Maysville and
Mason county. lnasmuch as the chief
purpose of the re-organized depart
ment will be to prevent disease, the
impression has gone out that bedside
nursing and the ether practical service
of the department would be discontin-
ued and for the past couple of days
much opposition to the appropriation
of city and county funds for the main
tenance of the department has devel-
oped because of this impression.
The impression was probably first
received by those who read an article
published in the local press to the eff
feet that the Health Department would
devote the greater part of its time to
preventing disease while the Health
League would be enabled to devote all
vi It's lllllt W ltlltNlnS Slthlltoos
City and county officials in an eff
fort to get a general understanding of
the proposition before the appropria-
tions were made, asked DR.. Rice.
County Health officer whether or not
bedside nursing and the actual relief
work done by the city and county
nurse would be continued under the
reorganization. He answered that the
department would continue to do the
work in the future that it had done in
the past. A communication from DR..
Covington, who will be state super
visor of the five model health counties
in Kentucky, is to the effect that bed
side nursing will be continued in Ma
son county and the city of Maysville
just as it has been in the past

POLITICAL LECTURE
TONIGHT SHOULD
ATTRACT MANY
DIR. Mackoy VIII Speak Here Tonight
On the Tendencies Toward
liberalization In Our
Nation.

The discussion by Hon. Harry b.
Mackoy at the court house tonight of
the present tendency to extend the
power of the Federal Government, will
be particularly interesting to those
who heard Judge Wilson and Judge
Kerr discuss the principles upon which
our government was established as in
terpreted and taught by the fathers
and founders. The new voters, who
having hitherto no responsibility in
governmental affairs, lacked incentive
to study political questions will wish
to avail themselves of the opportunity
to hear this vital question discussed
The son of Hon. w. H. Mackoy, mem
Der of the Kentucky Constitutional
Convention of 1891, through his mother
related to men and women who have
been students of and participants in
public affairs from colonial days to the
present time, Mr.. Mackoy is by birth,
tradition, training and manner of life
well fitted to discuss this important
subject. His kinswoman, Margaret
Bren of Maryland, was the first woman
in this county, in 1647, to claim the
right of suffrage, and another kins-
woman, Lady Nancy Langhorne Astor,
born and reared in Virginia, is now a
member of the English Parliament, the
highest political position yet reached
by woman.
This afternoon Mr. Mackoy will
speak at 2:10 to the High School stu
dents after which he will motor with
friends to the home of Mr. Lucien
Maltby, which was built by Mr. Mac
koy's great grandfather, Governor
John Chambers, and sold in 1S45 to
colonel Lucien Goggin, Mr. Lucien
Maltby's grandfather
The meeting at the court house is at
7:S0 this evening. Everybody is in
vited.

CITIZENS OF SIXTH
WARD WILL ASK FOR
new SCHOOL HOUSE
Petitions Being Circulated Among the
Sixth Ward Residents Asking That
City Build Them New Building
In Immediate Future.

Several petitions were put in circu-
lation in the Sixth ward this morning
asking the city Board of Education
that a new school building be erected
in that section of the city in the inn
mediate future for the use of the chill
dren of the Fourth district.
1t is understood that these petitions
are being signed by every resident of
that section to whom they have been
presented. 1t is the purpose of those
who are circulating the petitions to
have them signed by the majority of
the residents of the district so that
they can be filed with the city Board
of Education at its monthly meeting
on Friday evening. If, upon receipt of
the petitions, it is the opinion of the
Board of Education that new build
ing should be erected, they will inn
mediately lay the matter before City
Council asking that an ordinance, sub
mitting to the vote of the people a
special bond issue, be drawn and
adopted.
Practically every citizen in Mays
vile realizes the need of a new build
ing in the Sixth ward. Each of the
other three school districts in the city
are now equipped with splendid school
buildings and the erection of a first
class building in the Sixth ward will
complete first-class system of school
buildings in the city. The Sixth ward
building is the one big blot on Mays
villes educational system, which now
ranks high among the systems of Ken
tucky and there is no doubt but that
a bond issue for the erection of a
building in the Fourth district will
carry by an overwhelming majority.
AS the matter of circulating peti-
tions is being taken up at this time, it
is likely that immediate action can be
obtained as the Board of Education
will probably act on the matter Friday
and can refer the mater directly to
Council which meets in its regular
May meeting on next Monday evening
