Matters
OF interest Discussed By
Citizens Association
AT A Regular Meeting Held
90 Wednesday Evening

The Mt. Vernon Citizens Associa-
ton held a meeting filled with inter
est Wednesday evening. Numerous
topics were discussed to considerable
length, but nothing definite was done
in any case. The meeting was well
attended.
Mr.. II. G. Devin of the committee
on taxation and city government
gave a partial report on the work
that the committee has been doing
but a full report with recommends
tions will be made later before the
association.
Rev. L. w. Mulhane reported an in
vestigation in the matter of cluster
lights on the public square. He stat
ed that the general contract held by
the city with the Mt. Vernon Light
and Power Co. will expire in two
years and explained that it has been
advisable to defer the work of erect
ing the posts and installing the clust-
er lamps until another contract is
entered into.
Good roads we're discussed from
many angles. The principal part of
this discussion covered the matter of
the main market road through Mt.
Vernon for which the 100000 from
the state will be expended if Knox
county citizens can show enough in
terest and bring to bear enough in
fiuence to get the money.
Mr.. Robert Greer of Shelby, Ohio,
addressed the meeting and explained
that he is seeking location for a
small foundry and that Mt. Vernon
is one of the towns that he has been
considering. This new industry will
be investigated by the association
Although nothing very definite was
done in the matter, the proposition of
encouraging the promotion of a mo-
tor bus line to neighborlng towns
was suggested. Nothing will be done
along that line until spring if any
thing is done at all. This plan has
been adopted by other cities in the
state for the purpose of making 1t
much more convenient for people
from the smaller towns to reach the
larger ones.

the morning has been very fitting.
The men come with the right message.
Rev. F. c. English, d. D., president of
William and Vashti college, Aledo,
was the speaker today. His sermon
was filled with good things. The
Christian life was held up before US
in such a way as to make us want to
be better. We hope we may have
many more such. We must believe IN
the Deity and divinity of Jesus Christ.
Everyone that can should attend the
Bible readings by Miss Corette. You
are missing treat when you do not
hear her.
The Study of Romans" by Evange-
list Dunlop in the afternoon was very
interesting and instructive. The even
ig services were well attended. The
singing was fine. Last evening Evan
gelist Dunlop preached to an attentive
audience on the subject Make Room
for Christ" 1t was a strong appeal
for a place in mems hearts for Jesus.

FREE LEAD PENCILS WITH
SPEAR HEAD TOBACCO

Ihe manufacturers or Spear Head
tobacco have supplied all the leading
dealers in this city with high-grade
lead pencils for free distribution to all
who purchase Spear Head within the
next few days. These are standard
pencils of the regular sc kind, with
rubber attached and made of the best
quality lead, IN soft, straightgrained
wood with smooth enamel finish. One
pencil is to be given free to each pur-
chaser of 10c plug of Spear Head.
Chewing is said by those who both
smoke and chew to be the most salts
flying way of using tobacco and the
offer of free lead pencils is partly to
induce more men to decide this point
for themselves. The main object how
ever, is to secure a wide trial of Spear
Head by men who are judges of chew
ing tobacco The manufacturers of
Spear Head claim it is the highest type
of chewing tobacco made and are max
ing the free pencil offer to put the issue
squarely and fairly up to local ex-
perts.-( Adv
