A CARD FROM
THE TRINITY BAND.

Go with us for a few minutes to
odd Lewis" one Of the best counties
in our old commonwealth, you will
find little white school house where
only seven months ago two or three
public spirited citizens met and talked
and put in action the Trinity Band you
saw play here Wednesday. They have
labored and struggled over the prob
lens that have confronted them which
have been many. The boys and girls
live, some of them, miles apart and
were hard to get all together at times.
But they have kept the home fires
burning until now they can furnish
you with first class music.
On behalf of the manager and in
structor, we wish to extend our thanks
for the treatment We have received
at the Corn and Tobacco Fair by the
Chamber of Commerce and for the
first class meals served us by our
host, Mr.. Claude Watkins, and espe-
cially to Col. ]. Barbour Russell. Man
ager of the Maysville Boys Band. and
to each and every member of the band
and their friends for the use of their
hall and for the beautiful carnations
given to cath member of the Trinity
Band.
In conclusion, let us say to every
citizen of Maysville and Mason county
we appreciate all that has been done
for us and that the latch string hangs
on the outside of every home of "Old
Lewis" not only for the band but for
every citizen of Mason county.
TRINITY BAND.

COLORED man REPORTED
TO U. S. OFFICIALS
Young Mans Arrest on Drunk Charge
Leads.to Reporting Of Local
COlOred Man.

Fred Cogan was arrested Thursday
evening at the Corn and Tobacco Fair
on a charge of being drunk and he
was brought before Chief of Police
Harry A. Ort this morning for an in
vestigation as to where he obtained
his liquor.
Cogan told the officials the straight
of the whole matter. He said that he
met Walter Thomas. colored, better
known as 'Bunty" Thomas in front OF
the Central Hotel early last night and
asked him if he knew where he could
get some liquor, Thomas said he
would get him quart of moonshine
for SIS and Cogan says he gave the
eolored man the money and in about
twenty minutes Thomas returned with
the liquor.
Cogan says he took the quart OF
liquor to the Tobacco Fair and hid II
in an automobile parked in front OF
the warehouse which left with the
bottle probably half full.
Chief Ort this morning reported the
matter to the Federal authorities hay
ing sometime ago decided to carry nc
such cases to the grand jury when he
failed to obtain indictments on what
he considered plain cases.

MRS. T. II. SHELTON GIVES
SUGGESTIONS TO WOMEN

When you are "just ready to DROP
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about. and be-
cause you have not slept well you get
up as tired as when you went to bed
You need help, and you can get II just
as Mrs. T. H. Shelton did. She says:

with no appetite and l could not sleep,
could hardly keep around and do my
work. After all other medicines fail
ed, vinol has built me up so that l
sleep better, eat better and feel bet

There is no secret about vinol. 1t
owes its success in such cases to the
fact that it is a combination Of the
most successful tonics known to medi-
cine.

Electricity to Locate Metal.

The idea of using current trans
mitted through the earth as means
of locating metal ores is familiar. the
belief being that the greater conduc-
tivity of these metalliferous regions can
be clearly indicated, and the area
mapped out, says the Scientific Ameri.
can. The location of oil deposits,
which according to the Electrical Re-
view is now being investigated cleo
trically, presents converse problem.
In this case the insulating properties
of the oil diminish the current. and
oil-bearing regions are detected ac-
cOrdingly. In view Of the great depth
to which IT is often necessary to bore
for oil-oil that only exists simulta-
neously with an almost Oil-free area
abOve-the method would seem to
have limitations, hut 1t has doubtless
possibilities in dealing with surface oil
areas.

"NOw," he continued, 'let us con-

BIG TREE YIELDED TO AGE
Chestnut In Which Washington 10
Said to Have Hidden Coilapses
at Yonkers, New York.

Maybe there's no truth in the ira
dition that George Washington once
hid in the hollow trunk of the great
chestnut tree that until recently stood
in the front yard Of Charles F. Coy.
Yonkers, New York. But folk there
about believe he did. just as they be-
lieve that the tree was 700 or SOO
years old when 1t died few years
ago, and was the oldest and biggest
tree of any variety not only In West
chester county but in New York state.
The trunk, which was about 80 feet
tall and about 35 feet in circumfer-
.ence, according to Mr.. Coy. was cut
down by the department Of public
works Of Yonkers, and its dismem-
bered remains carted away. Said Mr..
Coy:
Before 1t died that tree produced
the biggest and understanding
chestnuts l ever saw. After its death
a vine that covered 1t made 1t still
an object of beauty, just as Its vas
size and age made it an object OF al
miratiOn.
1.-THE top was broken of about tire
time it died. I never knew its exacl
height. But 1 do know that deal
of tradition had grown up around
| It and that it commonly was rated the
largest tree in this part of the country
! am sure it was the biggest in this
| county,"
