Members of tlie Munncnpt Board of
the Mnyivllle Iloy's Hands started
their anuuul financial campaign Wed
nesday morning and most every busi
ness bouse vihitod met them with open
arms, loud praise for the great worlt
the baud Is doiii for Maysvllle and
libel al cuiuri bullous to finance these
two organizations.
No organisation In Maygvlle Is doing
more to put tlio city on the map titan
the Cardinal Hand. The Horseshoe
Hand is serving its purpose well iu
bringing on youngsters in music to
tnke the places of thosa In the Card
inal band who drop out when they be
come old enough to take positions.
Maysvllle people have a prtdo In the
bonyn' bands that tbjy have in noth
ing else representing Maysvllle. Not
only are those who have their sons or
daughters In the bands, but every real
ly true Maysvillinn has a certain
amount of prldo in the bands that
eclipses most any other purely public
organisation.
The campaign lx-gun Wednesday
will be continued until sufficient funds
have been contributed to the bands'
treasury to assure It a financial suc
cess for another year and as soon as
such an amount brs been reached the
campaign will be rinsed and the peo
ple of Maysvllle will not be asked to
contribute for this purpose again for
a year. It Is a pleasure to serve on a
canvassing committee for so popular
an organization and the people of
MarsTilJe consider It a pleasure and
privilege to contribute to such an organization.

uiuusund one nundred and seventy
fifth store owned by this one hundred
million dollar cornorarinn tho
of its kind in the whole, of the world
and operating stores in all parts of
the United States and Canada.
Mr. v. woolworth, who until his
death a few years ago, was the presi
dent of this great corporation, was the
founder of the Five and Ten Cent bus
iness, the first store having been
established by him in tho city of Lan
caster. Pa., in 1879. Tha hiiRinnoa hnu

The local store is a beauty. It is to
bo managed by Mr. .t. P. Doyle, of
Louisville, who has been with the firm
for three years. One of the secrets of
the company's success is that every
local manager must have served an
