MADE FOR June 26
Christian Church Plans Big Home.
Coming Services on Sunday,
June 2G-Dr. Powell Un-
able to Attend.

Extensive plans are being made by
the membership of the Christian
church for q great Homecoming on
Sunday, June 26th, when many old
members of the church will be invited
to return for the day to Maysville and
former pastors will be asked to be
here and make addresses.
A special effort was made to have
DR.. E. L. Powell pastor of the First
Christian church, Of Louisville, and a
former pastor, make the chief address.
Dr. Powell writes that he cannot come
but he sends best wishes to all his old
Maysville friends in the following let
ter to Col. J. b. Russell:
"You may be sure that If it were at
all practicable 1t would give me the
greatest pleasure to be with you on
Sunday, June &c, on the occasion of
your Homecoming. This will how
ever, be my last Sunday here before
going on my vacation for the months
Of July and August. Since my recent
illness I have not really taken up my
home work fully. and during the
month of June will only occupy the
pulpit at the morning service.
"My thoughts of Maysville are in
deed deep enough and affectionate
enough to bring me to Maysville on
that Sunday, if the circumstances
mentioned above did not make it i'm
practicable. love the old Maysville
church; | love the town and its peo-
pie. Very many Of the sweetest and
dearest memories of my ministry and
life are associated with Maysville.
"Will you give my love to every one
of the old friends and accept my very
highest congratulations on the really
aggressive and progressive work be-
ing done in the congregation etc"

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO
Prevent CLASH OF CLANS
Trial To Be Held at Barbouryllle
Today-MIlltlamen on Guard to
Prevent Trouble.

Barbourville, KY, June 10. Bar
bourville last night set down to a pol
icy of watchful waiting, but with hope
high that there will be no clash to-
day between feudists' factions when
Bart s. Reid Is placed on examining
trial for the killing Of Will Lee.
The growing feeling that hositlities
have been ayerted was strengthened
by the appointment yesterday of B. P.
Walker, retired merchant, as Sheriff,
followed by the announcement that he
will appoint force of deputies suffl-
cient to meet any emergency. He
has the reputation of being fearless.
The state troops probably will be re-
called after the examining trial.
On mule-back, by freight train and
on foot, members OF the Bailey-Lee
faction came into town yesterday to
attend the trial, which was set for
Thursday.
But because Of absence of members
Of the family Of the slain man, the
trial was postponed until this after
noon at 1 o'clock. County Judge X.
Tuggle granted the requests of attor-
neys to postpone the cast so that John
Lee, brother of the victim, could be
present
In the meantime 100 special guards
and mllitiamen are on duty, equipped
with everything from pistols to ma
chine guns. While no outbreak is ex-
pected there will not be the slightest
relaxation Of precaution.

FRANCE
POTASHEACTOR
Mines Of Alsace Restor-
ed And Operation
Begun

NEW YORK, March 8.-(By AS
ISOLATED Press.) The potash mines
of Alsace, which before the war were
operated by the Germans but now
are under French control, have been
restored to working order and France
has again become a rival of Germany
in the worlds markets as a producer
of this fertilizing agent, say
French agents here. Prior to the
war, the Germans controlled virtual
ly the only source of the world;
supply of potash and while the great
conflict was in progress farmers ev-
erywhere suffered from lack of it.
With the restoration of Alsace to
France, French engineers began the
work OF restoring the mines to &C
tivity and after two years of effort,
now announce that new machinery
has been installed, the extraction
shafts repaired and refining plants
put in working order.
The Alsace potash beds are be-
liCved to be the richest in the world,
containing more than 100000 tons
of pure potash and according to esti-
mates, are capable of supplying the
entire world for more than three
centuries. The mines occupy a field
lying near Mulhouse. In the mine
corridors the crystalline salts are seen
lying in horizontal strips of red,
white, pink and grey, so alternating
as to give the impression of an I'M
mense flag.
