Well Known Mason County Woman
Died Last Night at Home OF
son at Lewisburg.

Friends and relatives in this city re-
ceived this morning the sad news of
the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Stears For
some time Mrs. Stears has made her
home with her son and his family near
Lewisburg and until recently was in
good health. A few days ago she was
stricken with paralysis and last night
her spirit took fight.
Mrs. Stears belonged to a prominent
Mason county family and in early
youth united with the Methodist
church. and her daily life was that of
a consistent christian. Truly ii can be
said none knew her but to love her, "
and If each person to whom she had
shown a kindness should place a bios
som on her grave she would rest be-
meath a wealth of flowers.
Mrs. Stears was born in 1884 and is
survived by an only son. Mr.. John
Stears and his family and many
friends, all of whom will reverence her
memory and call her blessed.
The carriages will leave the resi-
dence at 1870 o'clock Tuesday after

neral services will be held. Burial

EXPERT MURDERED
IN DEFENSE OF

Alexandria, Va, May "a - A mob of
more than 1000 young men which

county Jail, bent on lynching w. II.

SPEAKER HARD TO
GET BUT PLANS COON
FOR CELEBRATION
American Legion Thus Far Unable To
Get Speaker for Memorial Day But
Plans Are Going Forward
For Big Celebration.

The American Legion committee in
charge of arrangements for the proper
celebration of Memorial Day on next
Sunday was again much disappointed
this morning when Hon. Thomas D.
Slattery, United States District Attor-
ney, informed them that he would be
unable to be in Maysville on Sunday
afternoon to deliver for them the an
nual eulogy. Although disappointed,
they have not given up the proposed
celebration and they are making eff
forts in other directions to locate an
orator for the day.
Other plans are also going forward.
They are expecting to have a very fine
musical program with vocal and in
strumental music of high class and
the Boys Band will also play a con-
cert at the park during the afternoon.
The members of the American Le-
gion, Leslie II. Arthur Post, are all
urged to make plans to spend Sunday
afternoon in Maysville at this Memo
| rial Day service in honor of their
comrades who have crossed the river
and veterans of the Spanish American
and the Civil Wars will also join in
doing honor to the dead of all wars
Just as soon as the entire program
is made up it will be announced
through the press but everyone in
Maysville can feel assured that there
will be an interesting and proper cele-
bration if it becomes necessary to put
some of our local orators into service
for the day

FIRST BAND CONCERT
SHOWS BOYS IMPROVED
Washington Theater Is Crowded Sun
day Afternoon to Hear Maysville
Boys Band.

The first municipal concert of the
year by the Maysville Boys Band at
the Washington Theater Sunday after
noon was a delightful musical treat
enjoyed by just as many as could get
into the large auditorium.
The program contained a number of
heavy" pieces which the boys execut-
ed with marked ability and the pro-
gram demonstrated wonderful devel-
opment during the winter months un-
der the efficient and result bearing in
struction of Director ]. w. Young The
rendition of selections from opera
plainly showed that the band members
had been putting in some hard work
during the winter period and greatly
pleased the large audience.
A solo part In Sousa's "El Captain
taken by J. Barbour Russell, Jr., gave
the audience some idea of Professor
Young's ability to impart musical
knowledge to the young. Young Bar
bour year ago knew nothing of mus
sic. A cornet obligato by Clifton Simp-
son in Barnhouse's schottish Dainty
Dear" also displayed individual
growth in music. Simpson, Spencer
Triebel and Key were featured in a
military march as were also Simpson
Wood and Russell on cornets in an
other Sousa selection.
Professor w. J. Caplinger, repre-
senting the managing committee, in a
short address between parts thanked
the generous public for their hearty
support of the band.

WELCOME, Central Kentuckians

boats, to come down the river from
Pittsburgh to Maysville and by rail or
motor truck to other Central Kentucky
points.
traffic congestion may be considerably
relieved. At the present time, ship
ments originating beyond the Allie
gheny Mountains reach Central Ken
lucky through the Cincinnati gateway,
which is always congested. Much of
this traffic must also come through the
railroad men and shippers that the
region from Detroit to Cincinnati is
usually the most congested in the
United States The traffic for the South
that does not come through Detroit or
Cincinnati must usually pass through
the Potomac yards, another point of
congestion.
Pittsburgh has direct railroad con-
nection with Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York, three important
sources of shipment, and with the con-
centration of much traffic from these
points by rail to Pittsburgh, with
shipment down the river to Maysville,
we would have a direct and econom-
ical route. We would return to what
the pioneers found to be the way of
least resistance when they came in fiat
boats down the Ohio In the early
period of Central Kentucky, the river
even with the crude facilities for river
shipment of that time, was the impor-
tant means of transportation. The first
printing press set up in Lexington
was brought to Maysville by that route
and transported the remainder of the
distance by pack mule. The success of
the Virginia Expedition, which won
for the United States what was known
as the Northwest Territory, was made
possible by the fact that powder and
other ammunition were brought down
the Ohio. Perhaps, even with our tre-
mendous advantage over the condi-
tions of that time, we may learn some
thing from the way in which the pio-
neers routed their traffic to what was
then the western country.

MAYSVILLE, THE
GATEWAY TO The
BLUEGRASS SECTION
Lexington Newspaper Again Points
Out Advantage of River Freight
Handling By Way OF
MaysVllIe.

The Lexington Herald on Sunday
said editorially:
A brief dispatch in Saturdays pa
pers records the fact that ten boats
were lined up at the Louisville river
front on Friday, six of them in the
freight business and four carrying pas
sengers and freight. The congested
condition of railroad traffic has great
ly augmented river traffic. We are re-
minded that in our rivers we have pos
sible means for freight movement
which we have not yet utilized. We
may expect a constant increase in the
volume of traffic. We cannot expect
mileage. We must have big increase
in the railroad equipment to meet the
traffic demands We shall probably
find economy in the greater use of the
rivers, 1t will probably be less ex-
pensive to improve the rivers and
build boats than to build more rail-
roads.
Central Kentucky is interested in the
river traffic. We are in comparatively
easy reach of the Ohio. while the Ken
lucky offers considerable transporta-
tion possibilities. The rivers and hard
surfaced roads with motor trucks will
in the future more and more supple
ment the railway transportation sys-

DON'T SELL LIBERTY BONDS

The Washington Post few days

which will interest all owners of
United States Bonds:
The market price for Liberty Bonds
is quite low. Evidently many owners
of bonds are selling these securities.
If they are not compelled by dire nee
essity to let go their holdings, they
foolish to sell, for the bonds are
worth 100 cents on the dollar and
will bring that if they are held. In
addition, they yield interest at a fair
rate, and no pledge on earth is more
sure. If the United States lives, the
bonls will be paid in full, interest and

assurance?
A decrease in market price is often
misunderstood by holders of bonds
who are not familiar with financial
matters. They take alarm and feel
that they must sell their bonds "be-
fore they go lower in price" This is
false reasoning, and if adopted it
causes unnecessary loss to individuals
who cannot afford to lose even one
dollar.
All that is necessary is to hold all
bonds. The market price is partly
manipulation and partly a result of
excessive selling by persons who may
be ignorant or too hard pressed. But
the market price need have nothing
to do with any bond-holder. He IS
not concerned with the depth of a
railroad cut if he is on a stout bridge,

his only concern being the journey
across the bridge. Similarly the only
concern of a bond-holder is to COL
lect the coupons and the bond in full
when due. The price might sag to
nothing, but that means nothing, if
the owner does not sell. The United
States is strong bridge that will car
ry the bond across to maturity, ex-
actly on the level and without regard
to the depth of the chasm that is
crossed.
