Big FALL FESTIVAL
TO Be ARRAGED FOR
AT MEETING MONDAY
Maysville Chamber of Commerce and
Mason County Farm Bureau To Be
United In Big Fall Event To
BE Held During October.

II was decided this morning that a
meeting be called for next Monday
evening at. the Mason County Farm
Bureau building for the purpose of
putting on foot great plan for big
Fall Festival to be held in Maysyille
during the month of October uniting
big Corn and Tobacco Fair, Poultry
Show, Automobile and Tractor Show
and Stock Show.
The Maysville Chamber of Com
merce for several years successfully
conducted Corn and Tobacco Fair
which proved the most successful af-
fair ever held in Mason county and it
is the purpose of those behind this
movement to be considered Monday
evening to continue that Corn and To-
bacco Fair but they also want to en-
large it to take in poultry and stock
as well as automobiles and tractors.
1t is the purpose of those promoting
the idea to procure, if possible, the
large Home warehouse in which to
hold the fair with the stock in the
large center drive way, booths around
the entire house and corn, tobacco and
farm products on one side with poul-
try. automobiles and tractors on the
other side, At Monday nights meeting
all of these matters will be discussed
and an effort will be Immediately made
to get in touch with some first class
show to furnish entertainments for the
concrete fioored side of the building.
Already beef cattle of Shorthorn and
Angus types and dairy cattle of Hol-
stein and Jersey types as well as Po-
land China and Duroc Jersey swine
have been pledged for the show and
the Mason County Poultry Association
officials have said they will endeavor
to have the greatest poultry show in
the history of the state of Kentucky
during this big affair.
One of the biggest features of the
show will probably be school demon
stration and one day will be given over
to the Maysville and Mason county
schools when it is hoped to have a
school parade given here during the
meeting of the State Educational AS
sociation several years ago. Every
school in the county will be urged to
have representatives in this great pa
rade. Details of the event will be given
out following Monday nights meeting
at which time, those who are promot-
ing the idea hope to have something
|'concrete to offer the public

LASSES WHITE SHOW
OPENS TO CROWDED
HOUSE LAST NIGHT
Newest Mlnstrels Is One of the Best
Ever Seen Here-Eyerythlng Is
New and Large Audience Is
Kept In UprOar.

The "Lasses" White minstrel open
ed the season at the Washington the
ater last night and considering the fact
that this is the earliest the Washing
ton has ever opened the minstrels had
a record-breaking attendance. Every
seat in the house save probably twen-
ty-five or thirty in the balcony was
sold.
From the lift of the curtain to its
final drop the large audience was kept
in an uproar of laughter, The jokes
and antics of the black face comedians
took like wild fire and "Lasses", him
self, captivated the entire house to
such an evtent that his appearance on
the stage alone was signal for a rip
ple of laughter over the house. He is
q blackface second to none on the
American stage today. His burnt cork
and patched trousers completely
changes the man from quiet, unas-
suming young man to the liveliest real
Southern negro of whom one could
conceive.
The stage setting is gorgeous and
the first part Is by far the most beau
tiful ever seen In minstrel here. All
of the best minstrels have been seen
in Maysville every season but it can
be truthuflly said that never has a
minstrel show left the people talking
on the streets like the "Lasses" White
show. The singing was good and some
of the songs written for this show are
destined to become popular hits before
many more months. Features with the
show are above the ordinary and taken
in all the "Lasses" White minstrels
promises to be the biggest and best
minstrel show ever produced in Amer
ica. The company shows at Hunting
ton tonight and at Lexington Wednes-
day and Thursday nights.
Mr.. W. T. Spaeth, the producer OF
the show, was very much pleased with
the manner in which the first per-
formance went off. Mr.. Spaeth this
morning said that he hoped to make
Maysville the birthplace of every new
"Lasses" White production and that
next year instead of spending three
weeks in Cincinnati rehearsing the
show, he probably would come direct
to Maysville to do his three weeks re-
hearsing here where the first perform
ance will be given.

Having purchased the large banking
and Office building from the Bank of
Maysville, we expect to move into our
new quarters on or about the first Of
September.
This building, which would cost
around $200,000.00 to construct and
furnish. costs us $50,0O0O0. In the pur-

In looking over the last weeks is
sue of the jefferson County Repub-
lican, I noticed some of our Repub-
lican friends had been consulting the
Spirits. Whether the said Spirits
were of the Sir Oliver Lodge brand
or drop of home boiled corn, we
are unable to state. However. they
seem co have caused the writer of
the Republican some unrest about
future election results, even tho a
bold front war partially maintained
turnout the article.
It is q well known fact that over
confidence has been the downfall Of
many people and this is one reason
why it will not happen to the Repub-
licans this coming fall.
Just because Juchem, Felch, Klein
and others have filled their offices
very ably Is no reason that they
should not be contested for reelec-
ion by the Democrats in the coming
election. This thing of conceding to
anyone anything in the process of
politics is really foolish. The thing
to do is to call the bluff Of such
sure-thing politicians and make them

as will keep them at least busy mend
ing their own fences.
It is an old trick in this county for

Of sure-thing talk about some few Of
their proposed candidates in order to
make it hard for the Democrats to
get candidates for opposition, just
as the heretofore mentioned article
speaks Of tho Republican holdovers.
