FREE LECTURE At THIRD
Street CHURCH SUNDAY
Second In Series Of Centenary Lee
lures VIII Be Given at Methodist
Church Sunday Evening.

Another of the Centenary series of
illustrated lectures will be given at the
Third Street M. E. church Sunday eve
ming. The attendance and interest
manifested in the one given last Sun
day gives assurance of an increased
attendance for the next lecture. The
difficulty Of last Sunday was the ap-
preaching storm making the congre-
cation so uneasy that the pictures had
to be run through hurriedly. 1t is to
be hoped that the weather will be
more favorable the coming Sunday.
The Centenary office will send one
of the following three, all of which are
on American Industrial problems and
should prove of'deep interest to all:
"The Passing of the Melting Pot, y
"The Six O'Clock Whistle Around the
World" or New York, Americas
Greatest Missionary Field" By Sat
urday it may be possible to announce
definitely which will be given. But
all are good and strike at some of the
vital problems now facing the Ameri
can people.
Each lecture has over seventy-fivt
pictures which take one right to the
scenes depicted in the lecture

COMMISSION ASKED
TO REQUIRE c. & 0.
TO RESTORE TRAINS
Petitions Containing More than One
Thousand Names Filed With State
Railroad Commission Asking
For Local Trains.

Petitions containing more than one
thousand names of citizens in Camp
bell, Bracken, Pendleton and Mason
counties were filed with the State Rail-
road Commission at Frankfort Thurs
day asking that the c. & o. railroad
company be required to reinstate To-
cal passenger trains No. 16 and II be-
tween Maysville and Cincinnati daily.
1t will be remembered that these
trains were discontinued between this
city and Cincinnati during the war.
! At present the trains run between this
city and Huntington but upon arrival
here in the morning the train remains
in the local yards returning on its
eastward trip at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.
Persons residing between Maysville
and Cincinnati contend that they have
been greatly handicapped by the re-
moval of these trains in that they have
no train between Maysville and Gin
cinnati from the Maysville accommo-
dation in the early morning until late
in the afternoon.
The discontinuance of these two
trains has greatly handicapped the
merchants and residents of Maysville
all of whom would be glad to see a
local train for Cincinnati in the middle
of the morning and local train re.
turning from Cincinnati about supper
time, as these trains ran before the
war, The Railroad Commission has
taken no action on the petition.

LABOR DAY PLANS
UNDER Way and Big
Time IS ASSURED

City Officials to Lend CO.Opera.
ton to Local Unions In Making
Labor Day Grand Holiday.

Plans for the proper celebration of

labor unions assuring them that they
can rely upon the Chamber of Com
merce to work out the details for a big
Labor Day celebration along plAns
they will suggest and approve.
Labor Day is looked upon as the
working mans one big holiday. Fdr
many years the day was not celebrated
in Maysville but with the growth OF,
labor organizations here its celebra-N
tion has become popular and for the
past three years the day has been one
of our biggest holidays. This year 1t
is the purpose of those taking the lead
in the movement to make it a real big
day that will attract hundreds from
over this section to the city.
Many forms of entertainment have
been suggested but all will be submit
ted to the labor organizations, who
will be expected to endorse and man
age the day with the Chamber of Com
merce attending to the details and thu
city government lending its hearty
support. A big parade of union men
will be one big event with concerts
by the Boys Band at Bechwood and
talks or subjects of interest to the
laboring men, 1t has also been sug-
| ge5ted that there might be a revival
of the local interest in boat races and
that big motor boat race might be
run in the Ohio in front of Maysville
during the morning.
1t is the purpose Of those behind the
movement to advertise the program all
over the district just as soon as def
nitely worked out and this will no
doubt attract many to Maysville for
the day.
