S. B. Ramsey is building a new room to his butcher shop near the railroad crossing.

The Mt Vernon baseball boys have their new outfits which are first class and up to date and Wednesday fully expect the boys to make a good showing this year.

Mr. and Mrs. Marion Hamlin have moved to near Lafollette, Tenn. They sold their farm here.

J. G. Anderson and family, of Livingston, have moved into to the R. K. Powell property on Newcomb Avenue.

J. M. Craig was here Tuesday and told us he had bought over 200 good hogs in the last few days at 4 1/2 to 5 cents a pound.

DEATH: Mrs. Rebecca Mink, of the Skeggs Creek section died Wednesday after an illness of several days. We were unable to learn the cause of her illness.

The Mt Vernon baseball team has a challenge from Green Nebraska Indians. It is likely that they will arrange a game with the Indians here sometime this season. Of course the Indians know our boys can play ball or they wouldn’t to be caught here.

On March the 27th, the Christian Sunday School had an attendance of 143 and collected $2.51 regular collection. One year ago last Sunday this same school had an attendance of 37 and collected $.51 regular collection. This is the largest Sunday school in Eastern Kentucky on the L & N R. R. according to reports sent out every week from the S. S. headquarters in Louisville. There are very few boys and girls in Mt Vernon that are not attending one of our three Sunday schools.
