Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1917-12-07

We had few moments with the dis
writer from Bredhsad
We informed him that when he re-
ceived this copy OF the Signal he |
would think that the f0rhed and |
vivid lightning was shooting its
fiery darts toward earth and was
near Brodhead; that he
would think that he heard the deep
toned thunder rolling across the
Wanted sky, and he would think

to London, Monday. - In answer to
our Brodhead friend in regard to the
paltry sum of $500 raised here fol-
the benefit of the Army Y. M. C. A.,
will say in the outset that we will
admit that this was small amount
and we would have been pleased
had it been much more as we know
that the Y. NJ. c. A. is great thing,
but this is all that was made up
We do not think that the Brodhead
man should hand Livingston c
lemon over it, for men have gone
from here and volunteered in the
army. what more can Brodhead
say? If you will visit our town you
will see a Seventy-fOOt pole place.
near the center of town with a ten
by eighteen American flag, with the
stars and stripes floating in the air,
which shows we.are patriotic. What
more can our Brodhead friend say!
We have purchased over $2,500.0U
worth of Liberty Bonds which shows
we are patriotic. Can our frieno
say so much? A year or more age
bonds were voted on the county to
build a pike through the county
from the Laurel county line to the
Lincoln county line. 1t is most
completed from Mt. Vernon to the
Lincoln county line. What did Liv-
ingston do to get a pike through om
town? We raised by subscription
S26O0.00. that is something Brod-
head did not have to do. You got
your pike out of the bond issue.
This and other reasons is why We
can't be patriotic, as our friend calls
it. So, Mr.. Robins. take it all and
all, Livingston is not so bad after
all. While we never have had one
word to say against the good peo-
pie of Brodhead, nor do we wish to
speak aught against them, but wish
to say to our friend that every man
has not the good fortune as to be
born with a silver spoon in his
mouth, as is the case with some
we could mention. Our friend sale
he was informed that we had re-
signed our position with the L. & n.
and had accepted a position as
Deputy Judge under Dr.. K. G. Webb
We will say this is a sad mistake
We Democrats are in control of the
United States and the State, and we
want you G. o. P.s to have the little
town offices. Now, Mr.. Robins, if
you wish to meet with as good a
people as the Sun ever shown up
on or as patriotic, who have given
up their sons to help Uncle Sam
win glorious victory in France;
people whose latch string is always
on the outside, come to Livingston
and you can meet them. Perhaps
you will meet them with their
overalls on and black from the days
toll, but we will guarantee that they
are not the high colored class or the
kid-glove Johnnies. : Mrs. Laura
