Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1916-06-09
Livingston

The backbone OF the drouth has
been broken by good rain that
fell in cOpious quantities Monday
and Tuesday, and the thirsty
land has been greatly relieved and
vegetation now looks we'll. Rev.
Baker. of East Bernstadt, filled
his regular appointment at the
Christian Church, Saturday and
Sunday.-Mrs. Hugh jenkins, who
has been very sick for some time,
remains about the Same-Dr. r.
g. Webb, has opened up bis
stock of drugs in the brick oppo-
site his old stand - Mrs. I. w.

Well, the great big convention
at Chicago, is now on. 1t may
be a grand meeting and love
feast, but We predict stormy time
as the republican party is CON-
posed or made up of two elements,
viz: the @. o. P. and the Bull
Moose. We believe what will sat
isfy one will displease the other
and that there will be no harmony
there. The tug of war lies be-
tween Hughes and T R., but we
will bet ginger cake that Roose-
velt gets the nomination. But
what does it matter to us which
one gets it, for he will only be a
lamb Tor the political slaughter in
November. But just wait a few
days and there will be a meeting
at St. Louis, and a call will be
made to all quarters of the United
States, come forth ye delegates
of the people, let's meet and
nominate by reclamation, a man
that has made the greatest Presi-
dent since Garfield and Lincoln,
and then the answer will echo
back, Woodrow Wilson is tie
man." But for fear some one
might know nv politics, or my
friend at BrOdhead might take is
sue with us, we will ring off and
let politics drop until after the
November election and then we
will come again and tell of the sad
departure of the Republican party

, and children. after a weeks visit
with relatives at Mt. Vernon, has
