EAST END PROPERTY
TO CHANGE CREEK
Mr. Charles Khonilllcr Sell "The
Point" to the ('. & O. Kallnaj Com.
patiy nod Llmextono Creek
Will He Changed.
It became known Frldny that tho
Chesapeake & Ohio Hallway Company
lias purchaso of Mr. Charles Kliomil
ler. Ills attractive home near Liinc
Blono bridge, formerly the W. W. Ilall
homestead and known bb "The Point."
For some time tho Limestone Creek
near lis mouth has been cutting away
under tho C. & O.'b tresle und endan
gering this long structure. The rail
way company has spent much money
in piling atone about the nbutlmeitts
of their long trcHtlo but this had had
little effect upon the. constant wash
ings of tho creek and the situation ban
become rather serious and most costly
to the railway company.
It has been known for some time
that the railway company was endeav
oring to get this property which blocks
the crock's straight course to tho river
and deflects the stream In tho direc
tion of the company's property. It Is
suposed that tho company will Imme
diately cut a courso for tho creek di
rectly through this property to the
river, thereby turning the course of
the course of the creek from Its prop
erty. It is understood that Mr. Rhomlller
received a ory fancy price for the
property. The change In the creek's
course will probably be mado without
material Injury to the attractive home
stead. SATl'KIMY IS HOI.I.AK IHT

"Dear Motherland, Kentucky, here we bring
The names of these thy sons who nobly died
Who for Thy sake and Fredom's put aside
Young Love and Lusty Life, and Call of Spring,
And strode down Death's dark ways adventuring.
We cannot bring them back; We cannot give
To their young eyes the joy of sunrise, nor
To eager ears the call they hearkened for
The cardinal among the hills ot homo. They live
But in our hearts and there are fugitive.
We shall go down to dust even as they,
So to Thy Heart, Kentucky, bring we now
These deathless names, A coronot for thy brow
IleBt-loved and Beautiful. And thou shalt pay
Unending honor till Time's latest day.
And It shall be throughout the coming years
Young hearts shall proudly read these hero-names
And feel within their own the sacred flames.
We'll live for what they died for spite of fears,
So faith shall spring once mora from blood and tears.
Keep, save these names; Thy sons who would not save
Themselves at price of Liberty and Thee.
The "Old Kentucky Homo" shall hallowed be
Throughout the ages by the blood they gave
Keep thou them safe. Thy Beautiful and Brave.

At Falmouth Fair.
This week's Falmouth Outlook says:
The Maysville Boys' and Girls' Band
furnished the music at the Falmouth
Fair on Friday night and Saturday,
and rendered the best music ever
heard on the old historic grounds.
There were 42 members of the band
here and they were beaded by "Daddy"
J. Barbour Russell, who takes as much
pride in the boys and girls as did the
old blue hen with her first brood of
chicks. When the band personnel
dressed In their handsome red and
white uniforms marched out in front
of the audience of 12,000 people, head
ed by Col. Russell, a storm of wel
coming applause was given them. This
band Is the greatest musical organl
zatlon of it sklnd in the United States
and it delivered the goods at the Fal
mouth Fair to the satisfaction of the
Fair Company and the vast throng on
the grounds. This was their first ap
pearance nere and we hopo it will not
be the last, as the band members are
good mixers and made many warm
friends during their short stay with us,
Every member seems to be an artist
with his Instrument.
This band was made possible by the
efforts and financial assistance of Col.
J. Barbour Russell, the proprietor of
m. u. Kusseii Co., wholesale grocers
of Maysville. He organized this band.
secured the best instructors, and gave
the boys and girls to that city the
opportunity of a lifetime. His efforts
have helm crowned with success even
beyond his fondest expectations, as the
band's servlcec are sought all over the
country. This work has been com
mended from coast to coast, and shows
what can be done with the right kind
or leadership, as Col. Russell has dem
onstrated. He is Justly proud of the
nana, and so is every other Kentuck
lan. Falmouth Outlook.
