CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS MASSIE
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
The people of the city and county
have been very generous in their
response to recent appeals made for
donations to the larder of the Mas
sie Memorial Hospital, in this city.
The hospital authorities and those
charged with the management and
financing of the institution have
keen duly appreciative and thank
ful that 'this has been a generous
community, instantly responsive to
every call for a humane project.
But the institution, one of the very
worthiest in our midst, needs funds
for necessary and very urgent pur
eposes. Unless other means can be
found to raise this money, an inten
sive campaign will soon be conduct
ed in the county for that purpose.
There is hardly a man, woman or
hild in this community who would
for an instant fail to give -full
credit to the Massie Memorial Hos
pital for the good it has accom
plished here. The quality of mercy
has never been strained there. All
have been given careful and consci
entious attention. The practical
value of such an institution to this
community can hardly be estimated.
But the need of funds for its proper
conduct can be estimated, in dollars
and cents. There was never a time
Tvhen there was so much money in
this county, and it is a time for more
generous giving, giving that knows
no stint, no color line, no class, no
other object than in helping tc
maintain the Massie Memorial Hos
pital. Think this over carefully, people
of Bourbon county, and help the
Hospital all you can. Who will be
the first to come forward with a
contribution? Big or little, great
or small, white or colored, start the
movement and keep it rolling until
the hospital people tell you there is
no room for more. De we make our
meaning clear?
As instancing how the generosity
of one man has benefitted publicl

MITCHELL &
M. M. I. CADETS SOLVE
PROBLEK.
Three carloads of coal conaigMd-
to the Millersburg Military Insti
tute, were sidetracked near the t
tion at Millersburg, forT unloadimc
Efforts to secure negro laborers and
vehicles to unload the coaP prove
unavailing, despite the lure of finan
cial considerations.
Learning of the desperatesltuatiom
and in view of the fact thaUthe coal
was badly needed for heating the in
stitution, nineteen husky cadets dis
carded immaculate uniforms, donned
old clothes, and with gloyes asd
shovels secured from various sourc
es, made a concerted attack on ths
coal cars. Going over "the top ' in
most approved military fashion, they
unloaded the preciqius black dia
monds into waiting wagons. Ac
companied by a squad of cadet-coal
heavers the wagons, as fast as
loaded, were driven to the M. 1VL I.
where they were unloaded into ths
cellars. This was kept up .until the
three cars of coal had been salefly de
posited in the cellars.
When the job was completed the
cadets washed up, donned their uni
forms and went about their rou
tine school work just as if shovel
ing coal had been a regular part of
the day's work.

take a small amount.
If you will call at our office we
will be glad to give you all the- de
tails. A small amount of this stock
would make an excellent Christmas
present. The interest from $500 in
vested in it would mean a fre elec
