LOCAL MARKET IS
SHADE Lower, WITH
OFFERINGS POOR
Average Price Both Yesterday and
Today Shows Slight Decllne-Very
Poor Quality Of Tobacco Is
Being Offered.

Prices on the local tobacco market
were a shade lower both today and
yesterday due, in most part at least,
to the very poor quality of the to-
bacco being offered for sale on the
present breaks. Because Of slight
increase in the price offered for low
grades few days ago, there has been
more of this quality offered during the
past two days than at any time since
the opening of the market and while
these grades have sold we'll consider
ing their quality, it has had general
tendency to pull the averages down.
Sales were held today at the Cen
trail and sales will block this after
noon at the Home and the Planters
houses. Farmers were generally sat
isfied and when compared with prices
maintaining on the smaller markets in
this district, they were pleased.

MOST SUCCESSFUL
REVIVAL CLOSED WAS
TUESDAY EVENING
Church Greatly Benefited and Fifty.
Five Are United With the
Membership During
Series.

The evangelistic services which be-
gan at the Christian church January
ninth came to final close Tuesday
evening. A large crowd was present
at this the last of splendid series Of
meetings and the results attained
we're even beyond expectations. 1t Is
not too much to say that a revival
meeting conducted as this one has
been, along sane and spiritual lines Is
a splendid regenerative force in
community and the good accomplished
is not confined to any one particular
church but reaches out and influences
all other spiritual and moral forces
within its radius. The ideals Of any
community are largely the product of
the social and religious forces prevail
ing therein, and If they be ideals Of a
lofty and ennobling character they
must of necessity spring from organ
ised Christian efforts working along
altruistic and spiritual lines. Firty-
five people in all were added to the
church's membership. Many of these
were new converts while others came
by letter or statement and others yet
by reconsecration.
The church auditorium was nicely
decorated with plants and flowers and
certainly reflected the good taste Of
the committee in charge. Light re-
freshments were served at the close Of
the sermon and delightful musical
program was very fitting climax to
the close of fine series of meetings.
The pastor of the church delivered
twenty-five sermons during this meet
ing and to his simple yet forceful pre-
sentation Of the gospel in large mea-
sure may be attributed the good re-
suits attained. To John. Mullen and
his splendid wife's unselfish leader
ship both the church and the COM
munity are indebted.
The song service under Brother l..
A. Brittan's leading was well organ
lied and done effective work by max
ing the devotional periods harmonize
with the preaching of the gospel.
Brother Britton comes from Danville,
Ohio, where he is pastor of the Di-
sciples church in that city. He will
carry back with him the most sim
cere good wishes Of the many friends
he has made while in Maysville.
The church membership as whole
want to thank the good people of our
city of whatever religious faith who
came in such numbers and by their

MUSICAL COMEDY OF
THE BETTER SORT
"Binging Up Father VIII Likely At
tract a Large Audience at Wash
ington Next Monday Evening.

bringing Up Father at the Sea-
shore the ultra-amusing and roll
licking play based on the famous car
toons of George McManus and spon-
sored by that shrewd and far-seeing
manager, Gus Hill, is slated for ap-
pearance at the Washington theater
next Monday night.
Probably no comics created in the
past decade have gained such renown
and success as the McManus illusions.
They appear daily in newspapers
throughout the United States to the
joy and entertainment of millions.
Now that they have been transplant
ed to stage their popularity is uni
versal.
In the new piece, which may be de-
scribed as musical comedy of the
better sort, Jiggs Mahoney is abused
and cuffed as of yore. And the cause
Of his unhappiness, of course, is his
termangent better half, Maggie, whose
expressions of thrift and repartee
naturally add to the merriment OF :he
! offering. Twenty exponents of song
comprising a beauty chorus of youth
vivacity and charm are introduced
along with capable company Of
singers, vocalists dancers, comedians
and funsters. Three acts are required
to set the ball of mirth arolling and to
keep Jiggs from giving his fortune
away with the carelessness and BAN
don Of his birth and station.

vasion of ten nights ago was finally
adjourned Wednesday and fresh sub.
poeneas were ordered for all of the
known witnesses directing them to ap-
pear before the grand jury here Feb

The decision to suspend tie investi-
cation was reached at conference
among Judge ]. l.. Atchison, who has
presided; County Attorney Daniel w.
Doggett, and Commonwealth's Attor-
ney w. c. Hamilton, Of Mt. Sterling.
who have prosecuted the investigation.
They agreed that the grand jury
would have more general powers ant,
could handle the situation with grelt-
er facility. Its session is near, ard
since the circuit court then will he
convened, it offered the most direct
means of handling the situation, they
] believed.
A report has been sent tc the Gov
ernor on the proceedings of tie court
and a stenographic record of the testi-
mony of the eight witnesses examined
was included. 1t is reliably stated that
no one of the witnesses was able IL
identify any of the band of twenty
night riders. County Attorney Dog
gett said that the search for evidence
would not be suspended, and that the
authorities had hopes of unearthine
important evidence before the grand
jury meets.
