We do not believe there is another
town in the state anything near the size
that will compare with Mt. Veruon as
lodge town. There are ten different
lodges and each one doing well. The
foremost is the Masonic. there be-
ing four different branches or lodges:
Ashland, No. $40 F. and A. NJ, Mt.
Vernon Royal Arch Chapter, Landrum
Council and the Eastern Star. The COM
bined membership of these four lodges
is something near 500. The |. o. o..
F.'s come next, with a membership of
over 100. with an Encampment soon to
be organized. The Sir Knights and the
Lady Maccabees and the NJ. w. of A.
are less fourishing, but each has rea-
sonably good membership. They are
all good, but of course some are better,
and if there is such thing as getting
too much of good thing. we fear that
Mt. Vernon, if she gets any more lodg-
es, will have more than will do well.

the prettiest to be found outside of the

Some. Sound Thoughts.

To The Trustees and Patrons of AL
Districts: DO you know what is going
on down at the school-house? About
all that thousands of fathers and moth
ers do know on this subject is that ev-
cry morning they send their boys and
girls away with their dinner, and are
glad to be rid of them till night. Do
you not know that right down in that
little school-house the future of your
boys and girls is largely being shaped?
Upon the bent they get there will de-
pend in great measure the character of
your boys and girls. See to it then
that everything is all right at the
school in your district. Put in men of
good character for trustees and let
each trustee try and get good teachers
and of the very best character, both
men and women. Go to the school now
and then yourself and see how things
are going on. Do this and il will
be help and inspiration to the teach.
ers and children. If you are called on
for few remarks, say something that
will make them want to live like true
men and women. ID. b. G.

BILL HEAD Is making the people of
Louisville good mayor and would no
doubt make a good governor, but the
people at this time are not going to
take chance on the selection Of their
nominee for the highest Office within
the state, and man who is as close to
John Whallen as Mr.. Head, can not
win the confidence of the people that
his peculiar merits might otherwise en-
title him to. The people have about
made up their minds that Gov. McCrea-
ry is the proper man TO lead the party
to victory, and it looks like his nomina-
ton will be a mere formality. -Cadiz
