Oscar Frakes offers to sell lot on Main Street for site of the proposed building. Business men being moved. A move was started this week to construct a new hotel in Williamstown, and an initial meeting to discuss the matter was held by a number of business men in Williamstown Tuesday afternoon. It was the general sentiment of those who attended the meeting that a new hotel would be very desirable proposition and most of those present signified their willingness to subscribe stock within their means for such a venture. Mr. Oscar Frakes has offered the company his lot in the central part of the town on Main street, a very desirable location for a reasonable price. If a new hotel is erected it is very probable that this site will be chosen. A committee was named to investigate and get the probable cost of a structure to contain 20 guest rooms with modern equipment, and if it is found to be within reason an effort will be made to organize a stock company. The old Johnson House standing at the southeast corner of Main and Paris streets, owned by H. B. Wigginton, is to be vacated on the 18th of April, and Mr. Wigginton has plans for remodeling the building and converting the first floor into a home for his large dry goods store. He had considered a plan of converting the building into a store and hotel combined but found that the cost would be extensive and abandoned it. While the new hotel is in a state of incubation it seems likely that it will hatch out something worth while.

Retires From Practice after Period of Service of 53 Years: Official notice is given in this issue of The News of dissolution of partnership existing between the members of the law firm of DeJarnette and F. A. Harrison, the members of the firm being Messrs. A. G. DeJarnette and F. A. Harrison. In point of both years and service Capt. DeJarnette is the oldest Lawyer in this county and probably in Northern Kentucky, while Judge Harrison is the youngest member of the local bar. The partnership which has been dissolved was formed some seven years ago shortly after Mr. Harrison was admitted to the bar, and the most cordial relations existed between the partners during all that time. On account of his advancing age he has decided to no longer practice his profession and does not wish to be a figure-head in the firm which he feels he would should he remain with it longer. Capt. DeJarnette began his career as a lawyer in the May term of court, 1869, and would therefore have been actively engaged in the profession 54 years next May, had he continued to practice until then. He has been regarded as one of the ablest and best versed attorneys of the local bar. He has handled the legal work of the Southern Railway Company for more than 30 years. It has been 42 years since he was elected to the office of Commonwealth Attorney for this judicial district, a position which he filled for six years with distinguished ability. This was the only political preferment he ever received, and with one exception, the only one he ever sought. He retires from the profession ripe in years, wealthy in experience and in the abiding confidence of the people of the county, for his has been a work well done.

Charged With Wife Beating: Clarence Quillin charged with beating his wife was placed under $2,000 bond Tuesday in the Quarterly Court. A sister to Mrs. Quillin swore to the warrant against Quillin. Due to the fact that Quillin and several witnesses were sick with influenza the case was not tried and Quillin was placed under bond. While Mrs. Quillin did not swear out of the warrant against her husband it is stated that she will appear against him as the chief witness.

Notice to Creditors: All persons owing J. W. Gardner, deceased, are requested to call and settle accounts at their earliest convenience. The grocery business will be continued by Mrs. J. G. Gardner and son Roy Gardner. Your trade is respectfully solicited. Mrs. J. W. Gardner.

Notice: The partnership in the practice of law heretofore existing between the undersigned by the team name of DeJarnette & Harrison is this day by mutual agreement dissolved. DeJarnette, except as to cases that the firm has previously been engaged in ( that are not fully determined) in which he will continue to give his care, is retiring from the practice. Harrison will continue the practice. Witness our hands this January 1, 1923.

Death: Covington, Kentucky, January 15: The funeral of Attorney Benjamin F.

Kleiser, pastor of the Scott Street M. E. Church, will conduct the services. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. Graziana had been ill for several months. His condition improved recently and relatives and friends believed he would soon be able to resume his practice. He became worse, however, last Friday. Mr. Graziana was born at Cold Spring, Kentucky, November 16, 1858. He was the son of the late Charles Graziana who was Count Viana of Onelia, Italy. Count Viani left his native land during the Garilbald uprising in that country, where he engaged in farming. Through his own efforts Attorney Graziana gained entrance to the Cincinnati law school. He worked through the day and studied law at night and through his industry he succeeded in obtaining a certificate of graduation from the law school. For 40 years Attorney Graziana had a large practice in Covington. He was president of the Covington Board of Education in 1890 and was elected to the State Legislature in 1891 and 1893. Later he was appointed master commissioner by the late Circuit Judge James P. Tarvin. He held this office for six years. In 1891, Mr. Graziana married Miss Eliza York, of this city, who survives him. Four daughters, Mrs. Charles Fuess,Jr., Mrs. J. S. Wilson, Mrs. J. R. Solar and Mrs. D. E. Pendrery, and one son, Benjamin F. Graziana, Jr., also survive. Mr. Graziana was a member of the Covington Lodge of Elks. For many years he spent his summer vacation at Clark’s Lake, Michigan where he owns several cottages.

Marriage: Miss Alice Burton, 17, and Mr. Ernest Robinson, 19, were married by Rev. E. J. King at his home in Williamstown Thursday of last week. The young couple took the northbound train for Cincinnati immediately following the ceremony. Returning they will reside in the county.

Suit: A suit for damages against the C.N.O. & T.P. Railway Company amounting to $25,850, was filed through his attorney, Shelley D. Rouse, of Covington, by M. L. Howe, father of Cecil Howe, who was killed at a grade crossing between Sherman and Crittenden, on the fifth day of last October. The suit which was filed Tuesday, is one of the largest that has been filed against the railroad company in several years. Howe was driving a truck loaded with poultry and produce which he was taking to Cincinnati, when the accident occurred. It is said that one train had just passed and Howe failed to see a train approaching from the opposite direction. Howe was struck by train No. 28, the Blue Grass Special, and was instantly killed. His truck was demolished and the load of produce scattered over the right of way. The suit calls for $25,000 damages for the life of Howe, and $850 for the loss of the truck and produce.

Mrs. Jennie Theobald Harrison:  In September, 1902, Bishop H. C. Morrison appointed me to Williamstown Circuit in Grant County and after a testing of four years with issues that tried the souls of people, I found that the name of the good people were "legion" because they were many indeed. Among them I found none more noble, true, loyal, faithful, and holy than Sister Jennie Harrison. She was the daughter of Mr. S. A. Theobald, her mother was Elizabeth Varnon, of Millersburg, Bourbon County, Kentucky.  Out of a family of six children who lived to maturity only Miss Maria Theobald remains. Her devotion to Sister Harrison during a rather protracted illness was of the most beautiful Christian glow. Sister Harrison joined the Methodist Church when she was a girl and later was gloriously converted and the clear conscience note of her acceptance with God always rang in testimony and life. In 1892 she was happily married to Mr. W. T. Harrison, their devotion to each other was charming.They walked together in the sweetest harmony and richest joy till on the 25th of June, 1922, while the abundant golden harvest of Kentucky wheat was in the field, a white cloud settled over the home and "one like unto the Son of man" sat on the cloud with a golden crown on his head and in his hand a sharp sickle for the harvest of earth was ripe, and sister Harrison passed from a very useful, fruitful life int the church militant to a glorious, victorious life in the church triumphant. She rests happily from her labors here but her works follow. Our beloved sister your loved ones will be diligent to come to you. By an oversight I delayed this tribute which poorly tells only a few of her excellencies. Her church paper was always a companion with the Bible. She loved the paper and the Word of God, and day and night she fed upon Scripture truths and lived according to is commands and died in the triumphs of a living faith in its promise. Her funeral was in the church she loved and served so well and loving friends followed her body to Williamstown cemetery. J. D. Redd.

Signed Contract: William Dunn will not be in the center garden for the Wildcats when the umpire shouts "play ball" this spring, he signed and forwarded a contract to the Rocky Mount Base Ball Club of the Piedmont League, this morning. This will be a hard blow for the ball fans of this town, because we were figuring on "Sweet William" to break up many a ball game with his timely doubles down in the hollow at Rowland’s Ball Park this season. Bill we hate to loose you, but we are very glad that you are getting a chance to show your stuff in a minor league. Start to train and when spring trips around you will be in the pink of condition your eyes will be sharp and, you never can tell, you may put this charming village of ours on the base ball map. You have the ability, and if you pay strict attention to your general condition, then, and only then, Bill, you will make good. Bill shakes a wicked willow, and that alone should bring him thru the season in the Piedmont League with flying colors. The fans of the town, join with us in hoping you all the luck in the world; but I don’t think you will need any luck Bill, because you are a natural born ball player, just take good care of yourself and you will bring home the bacon and don’t forget to send us a paper so we can see what you are doing in the wilds of North Carolina, and I will end you a paper so you can see how the Wildcats are clawing the base ball life out of the wise city teams that hook up with us - The Wildcats, the team that held Louisville, of the American Association to a 4 to 2 score. The following is a letter Mr. Dunn received from the Rocky Mount Base Ball Team:

Mr. William Dunn,
Williamstown, Ky.

Dear Sir:
     We are in a position to offer you a contract, which we enclose herewith, at a salary of one hundred and seventy-five ($175.00) per month, which we trust you can see your way clear to execute and return. Would like very much to have you with our club and it maybe a little later we can give you a little more salary.

Yours very truly,

Norman Y. Chambliss, Secretary

Well, Bill, if things don’t go in that section of the country for you, come back and we will have the old position of cleaning man waiting waiting for you. Fans don’t you think we ought to get busy and look around for some baseball timber - it seems like all the star ball players are going into some distant lands where they can corner the money market. When spring comes back, with it fair days - again I ask, will your fancy turn to base ball; fishing, motoring or the old, old game of love.
