FORMAL AWARD OF
PRIZE IS MADE TO
MAYSVILIE POET
Mrs. Eleanor Duncan Wood Honored
At Mass Meeting Deld at Court
Honse Friday evening; Neigh
bors and Citizens Attend.
Scores of neighbors and fellow cit
izens gathered at the Maaon county
court house Friday evening to help do
honor to a Mayavllllan who has on
more than one occasion brought honor
to Maysvllle and Mason county. The
occasion was one of tho most delight
ful and elevating ever experienced In
Maysvllle.
Mrs. Eleanor Duncan Wood, whose
poetry has been classed among the
best from Southerners pens for several
years, waa formally presented with
fifty dollars In gold, the prize offered
by tho Kentucky Memorial Association
for the best poem commemorating the
sacrifice of Kentucky'a brave during
the world conflict. Mrs. Wood's poem
"In Momorlam" was selected by the
committee on awards from a list of
sixty-three, the writers of which were
not known to the committee until after
the best was selected.
Several addresses were made by
representatives of various state and
local patriotic organizations and Prof,
L. L. Dantzler, Instructor of English
at Kentucky University, chairman of
the Committee on Awards, presented
the prize in a splendid address. To
Mrs. Wood Prof. Dantzler said:
"Mrs. Wood, It la unalloyed pleasure
to every member of the committee and
to the members of the Memorial Com
mittee to see you receive this prize,
You have written a poem worthy of It
The committee had little difficulty in
resting their decision upon 1L After
choice had fallen upon It and before
the Judges knew the name of the
author, they sat and silently listened
as one read the lines again. The poem
commemorates Kentucky's dead; Its
conception is original; It la elevated
throughout In tone and appeals to our
noblest feelings; It gives comfort and
hope to the distressed. A Kentucky
poet writing years ago of those heroes
who lie in the Frankfort cemetery
said, 'The hero of unsanguined fields
rests on his laurels well. In future
years his country's page bis gallant
deed shall tell.' You poem will be on
that page that writes the history of
the heroes commemorate. In receiv
ing tbls prize may you have no misgiv
ings that the prize may be thought un
deserved. The Commltee of Awards
liuve none, neither do the members of
tho Memorial Committee, nor do any
of your hosts of friends. Permit me to
present to you this prize and may
your poetry long continue to give In
spiration and delight."
Mrs. Wood responded In her usual
pleasing manner.
The Kentucky Cardinal Band added
much to tho pleasure of the evening by
delightful renditions of patriotic airs,
