LOCAL PASTOR IS
PLACED ON RETIRED
LIST BY CONFERENCE
he" j. j. Dlckey, After More Than
Fort Years I'm Ministry, Is Retired
by Conference Action Friday
At Somerset.

After more than forty years of active
pastoral work, Rev. j. ]. Dickey pas
tor of the Little Brick Church" Of this
city, was placed Oh the superannuated
list by action of the Kentucky Confer
ence OF the NJ. +. church In session at
Somerset Friday.
For four years Rev. Dickey has been
pastor of the local church and our city
has never had more popular pastor
in any denomination than this splendid
old man. With members of all denom-
nations, he was popular. Reverenced
because of his age and godlness, loved
because of his kindness, Rev. Dickey
was looked upon by hundreds Of Mays,
Williams as a model after whom to pat
tern their own lives and yet those
hundreds realized they were falling
far short Of their model.
Taking charge of the Second NJ. E
Church, South, when 1t was barely
alive, he has instilled into it new life
and has put the church on the relig.
ious map" of Maysville until 1t is now
looked upon as a strong religious or.
ganization. He was a leader in every.
thing good in Maysville and his re-
tirement is regretted by his hundreds
of friends.
1t is to bo hoped that the good mar
will retain his home in Maysvillt
where his life counts for so much.

VALUABLE MARBLE
FOUND IN Use ON
KENTUCKY ROADS
Expert From Syracuse University
Finds Marble In Kentucky-Flne
Specimen Found Near
Maysyllle.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 10. Ken
tucky's marble surface highways,
while unappreciated by motorists, re-
veal to what base ignorance can apply
the valuable natural resources OF a
great state.
Twenty different kinds of marble,
much Of 1t in wayside quarries, being
crushed for building pixies, have been
discovered by Prof. Charles H. Rich
ardson, head of the Department Of
Minerology, Syracuse University, who
has Just completed survey of Ken
lucky building stones for DR.. Willard
R. Jillson, Director of the Geological
Survey.
These marbles occur in deposits
twenty to fifty feet in thickness; guam
titles that make them commercially
important. They are the equal in every
way of Tennessee marble, and had
Kentuckys resources been known
when the new State Capitol was built
Kentucky marble, instead of Vermont
and Georgia marble, could have been
used for its internal ornamentation.
Some of these Kentucky varieties
are rare and would bring high price
on the market. There is in the direc-
tors Office sample of the "Circas,
sian walnut"-a brown mottled marble
with zigzag markings, from Nelson
county, Of unusual beauty.
In a Caldwell county quarry, being
used for railroad ballast, is ledge OF
the rare oolithic marble, with the de-
sirable zigzag, displaying when pol,
ished the exquisite circular whorls OF
the minute oolite, which centuries age
produced there enough of their own
calcium carbonate for crystallization
The Bowling Green white limestone
of which the Governors Mansion is
built, and similar formation in
Christian county, probably are a con-
tinuation of this deposit; but they do
not take a polish, and, therefore can
not be classed as marbles, beautiful
as they are.
A pink marble near Cynthiana soon
will be put on the market. Bourbon
county boasts a similar variety Among
other important deposits are light
gray and a medium gray marble near
Georgetown, a dark gray near Mays
vile, showing wonderful crystalline
fossils, a gray crystalline in Pulaski
county and besides the well known
Bowling Green stone and its kinsman
in Christian, there are Diary gray
marble in Boyle, grayish white mar.
BILE and a Diary gray hard limestone in
Barren, a hard gray limestone in Lyon
Diary gray marble in Fleming, a dark
gray massive limestone in Carter, a
white crystalline marble in Hardin, a
crystalline marble in Rockcastle, and
dark gray crystalline marbles in Har.
rison and Montgomery.

STRONG GOlDIE TEAM )
PLAYS HERE SUNDAY
Leaders Of X. l. o. League to Test
Maysyllle Clubs Metal In Sun
day Afternoon Game.

AS first announced the Goldie's,
leaders OF the X. I. o. league will op-
pose the home club at east end park
Sunday afternoon play to start at 2
sharp to allow the visitors to return
to the city on the afternoon train.
Just few minutes after Manager
Reese had received word that the
Goldie's had cancelled their game in
order to play Milford with whom they
had cancelled a game to play us, he
was called back to the phone and ad-
vised that the board Of managers Of
the X. l. o. league had decided that
Maysville should get the game. Realiz-
ing Maysville's worth as baseball
town and hoping to get her to join the
league next year must have had much
weight in their decision to play here
and Sundays game will afford them
chance of feeling the baseball pulse
Of Maysville and the fans should turn
out with their support to person and
not line up on Second street in cheap
skate row outside the fence.
Catcher Monk, Of Portsmouth, has
signed a contract to finish out the
season with the locals and this patches
up the only weak hole in the lineup.
Monk is positively the Sweetest thing"
behind the bat ever seen here and
shows everything that put him up in
the big league and watch him shoot
the old pepper in the club. Dice will
fill the place of second catcher and
since a team is measured by their
subs where would you find better
one.
After last Sundays game the Ports
mouth team practically disbanded,
three of their players going to Chilli
cothe and Monk coming to Maysville,
so tomorrow's game will be a much
better exhibition than If the Ports
mouth team were coming.

FUND DRIVE IS
STARTED TODAY
Salvation Army Officials
Report that. Campaign Was
Successfully Launched.

49,. l-a.ELH. .r .aEEsl -
Reports turned in to headquarters
at noon today indicated that III cam
paign for funds, which was opened
this morning by the Salvation Army,
will result successfully, according to
Captain Symmonds, local officer in
charge.
Teams of business men and a num-
Der of women began work bright and
early this morning and the anv of
the down town district is expected to
be finished this evening. The drive
in the residence districts probably will
continue for a few days, it was said
this afternoon.
Persons who r in sympathy with
the Salvation Army work and who for
any reason may be overlooked in the
finance campaign are invited to leave
contributions at the army barracks.
Captain Symmonds draws attention
to the fact that where a donation of
any size Is to be given it is not neces-
sary to pay the amount In cash at
this time. Payments in quarterly or
monthly installments to suit the
convenience of the donor may be
made.
In order to properly carry on the
work of the local corps this year it
will be necessary to raise $4,000, Cap
lain Symmonds states. This will
cover the budget for the local work
and meet the obligations OF, the corps
toward the state and national or
CARNATIONS. The bulk of the fund,
however, will go toward carrying on
the work in Grand Forks.
