Dixie Highway Meeting

Nat Sewell, of the Workman's
Compensation Board, was in Rich
nond Monday afternoon, having come
over for short time after a Dixie
Highway meeting, which a number of
local men attended at Lexington. Mr..
SeweH recently resigned as State In
spector and Examiner, in which office
he made great record. Messrs. R.
E. Turley, NJ. C. Kellogg, and others
from here attended the Dixie High
way meeting in Lexington, where
completion of the seven miles of the
road, south of Berea, was discussed.
The money to defray the expense of
this was made up by popular subscrip-
ton some time ago, but the gap in
the route is still there and many want
to know the reason why.

Sells Old Ball Park

The old ball park, the scene of many
a hard fought battls, was sold this
week by Mr.. Robert R. Burnam, Sr.,
to John Blunschi, of London. The
new owner is associated with John w.
Creeeh, in control of the Eats End
stock yards, it is understood, and it is
reported that the acreage obtained
may be used for enlargement of the
East End yards, or for building cattle
pens to take care of the overflow,
which frequently is the case at these
popular yards on a rush court day.
There are about two and half acres
in the tract, and the price paid for
them is said to have been around 3d.
600. There was some discussion at
one time of the city purchasing this
tract for public playground or park
for the children, and this met with
much favor in many quarters, but
somehow, it lapsed and a splendid site
for such worthy purpose, has been
lost.

Lookout! She goes!
Two 80 acre tracts with beautiful
building sites; one so acre tract with

Normal School Notes

One of the leading features of the
day at the Normal was performed in
chapel this morning by the Cynthian
Literary Society, when it fell to their
lot to lead chapel, they were prepared
and ready to respond. So they gave
a play in excellent style. Each scene
of the play represented something
which had happened during the school
year, beginning with the fall term and
running up to the present time.
The Normal five are exercising all
bruises, getting ready to meet the
'Trancy five this evening at p. m, in
the Normal gymnasium. Holdcraft
is the only fresh man which Normal
is able to run in on the Tran
cy five, and he himself should be able
to assist the Normals greatly in the
struggle for victory.
Several of the Normal girls were
very fortunate in having few MEM
bers of the Trancy basket ball team as
their callers from seven to nine the
past evening.
The students, who went home to
spend the week end returned yestr-
day afternoon and resumed their work
this morning.
A number of new students enrolled
yesterday.
Mr.. Clay Smith, former student
passed through Richmond the other
day to visit his home in Estill county,
after spending II months in France
in the aviation service of the navy.
Mr.. Smith will soon return to enroll
in the Normal.
Professor Keith is absent today
from his class room. He is confined
to his home with light attack of in
fluenza. Mrs. Bruner is in charge of
his work.
Prospects for the fourth term en-
rollment are very bright indeed. Tn
business Office reports all rooms as
signed on the campus and long wait
ing list for rooms in town. We will
welcome the new corners to the CAM
pus. With the return of normal con-
ditions the student body once more
will reach its highest mark.
The faculty and student body are
Icongratulating DIR. W. j. Grinstead

order their caskets before their death
tives what hymns they wish sung at
the funeral services and what minis

make known just who they wish for

When relatives or friends select
burial outfits for others, they show
their true nature They all show they
care enough to select a plain but solid
casket, as the aristocrat in caskets
nowadays is a plain affair without
much fancy work.
Almost everyone has an idea of the
kind of casket and outfit he or she
wants before arriving at the under
takers, local dealers say.
There are 5000 different styles of
caskets and collins made in Richmond
alone, including the best hardwood
baskets in the world. Instead of be-

are used. The best robes of this kind
are made in Richmond

doubled since 1914, undertakers say.
