MANY FILL OPERA HOUSE.
TO HEAR BAND CONCERT
Kentucky Cardinals Render Delight
full Thanksgiving Concert on
Sunday Afternoon.

The Washington Opera House was
filled Sunday afternoon to hear the
annual Thanksgiving concert of the
Kentucky Cardinal band and while one
just naturally thinks that every con-
cert they hear the band play is the
best one yet, from the quality of the
music rendered, Sunday afternoons
concert was thought by many able
critics to be really the most worth
while effort the band has ever made.
Mr.. Barnard had selected a very ap-
propriate program that brought out
the best there is in the band and the
Improvement during the past several
months of hard practice was noted and
commented upon by scores through
out the large audience
The Cardinal band is rapidly devel-
oping into a class OF musicians never
before developed from a Juvenile band
and Maysville is indeed proud of their
accomplishments in music.

REV. FRED RILEY
WILL ADDRESS CLUB
ON BRITISH TEACHING
Prominent Aberdeen Minister, Native
Britlsher, TO Address Mason COun.
ty Women's Club on Next
Friday.

Rare opportunity will be given to
members of the Mason County
Woman's Club at their regular meet
ing Friday, December 1st, when Rev.
Fred Riley will deliver a lecture on
Community Education OF England
Compared to America"
Rev. Fred Riley, of Aberdeen, Ohio,
was born in England in the vicinity of
the city of Sheffield, the great steel
center. In the early days of youth,
his ambitions we're directed towards
the scholastic profession as teacher.
but, through force of circumstances,
he was compelled to forego this desire,
and he directed the talents he pos
sesscd to other important phases of
public work, and was one of the prom
inent civic workers of the town and
district in which he resided up to the
time OF the outbreak OF the world war.
Rev. Riley's father spent thirty years
OF his life In the active service Of
municipal government OF the town,
and was for a number of years the
mayor OF the city. This was an unique
opportunity for young Riley to become
acquainted with the many aspects OF
civic life, as for a number OF years he
served as secretary to his father, dur
ing which time Education, Sanitary
Board, Child Welfare, Hospital and
Health Boards, and other important
duties came under the scope of his
activities. Rev. Riley thereby became
acquainted with community life and
progress and was very much in de-
mand as public speaker on all ques-
tions OF social and economic matters.
He thereby gained very wide ex-
perience and this, coupled with the
fact that he has done extensive work
as a lay preacher in the Wesleyan
Methodist Church of England, gives
him n wonderful knowledge of the
needs and requirements OF community
life.
Before the outbreak OF the world
war, Rev. Riley was a mechanic by
trade and served term Of service as
Second Chargeman OF a large water
works corporation, supplying a pop
ulation of $4,000 people, thus giving
him an inside knowledge Of the work
ing Of municipal projects and organ
izations
In the early days OF the world war,
he voluntarily enlisted in the British
army in the ranks and saw four years
active service in France and Belgium,
gaining several distinctions for brav-
cry and devotion to duty. At the close
of the war, he returned to his old home
but felt the call from God to visit this
country and take up active work Of a
minister of the Gospel, and eventually
was assigned by the West Ohio Con-
ference to the pastorate of the Aber-
deem Circuit.
Rev. Riley with his accomplished
wife and bright little daughter came
to America in August 1921. They have
made many warm friends in this coun-
try during the short time they have
been with US, and their many friends
in Maysville and Mason county well
come them into our city on this occa-
sion.
Every member of the Mason County
Woman's Club should hear Rev. Ril-
ey's lecture on Friday, December 1st.
