lowing a banquet, the club voted to
push the proposition to bond the viii
lage for $4,000 for twenty years for
the purpose of putting in a good sys-
tenn of waterworks and providing ade-
quate fire apparatus. If any balance

f1re apparatus and for improving our
streets. The petition has been literally
signed and an election will be called
to vote on the proposition about Aug.
Is. The petition is. signed by i've
Fights of the citizen property owners

ton will carry.
At this time with a partial crop
failure is Is certainly a mark of con-
fidence in the country and the town to
make these expenditures and Is right
In line with the policy of the town Of
Mott to keep right up to date at all
times. Anyone coming to this town
and seeing the new $4,000 school well
under way and the new bank building
of brick being erected at cost of $685.

Mott Is the Invest town in the state at
present and keeping up its reputation
by continued improvements.
It Is now one OF the best towns in
this western part Of the state to live
in, made so by it's excellent class Of
people and also by the beautiful river
with its parks, fine boating and bath
ing and the citizens intend to keep 1t
so. With water works, fire protection
Of the best kind, cement sidewalks,

Benefit
May Come To Mt. Vernon By
Railroad Consolidation

The recent railroad consolidation
effected by the Pennsylvania company
the outcome of which is the Cleveland
Akron & Cincinnati railroad, may mean
a great deal to Mt. Vernon. An official
prominent in the organization of the
new Co. gave it as his opinion that
the newly organized road will be oper-
ated as single division of the Penn
sylvania, instead OF two divisions as
at present. and ne expects that an or
der will be issued at an early date
directing this change. If this is done
the work at the shops here will be
greatly increased as the present two
divisions will have to be taken care
OF here in that particular. This would
mean q greatly added to shop equip
ment and the employment of large
ly increased shop force of men, all of
which would be welcome news to Mt.
Vernon people.

cellent ball this season and has de-
feated some of the fastest teams in
this section of the state, a fact which
will go to show that the game Sunday

ing.
The local team although slightly
crippled by the absence of Porter who
will probably be unable to take part
in the contest. will present a very
strong lineup with Critchfield at short
stop in his place.

gaining in attendance owing to theil
