Dr. Logan Burned. Friends in this city of Rev. Dr. J.V. Logan will be sorry to hear that he was badly burned a few days ago by the explosion of a gas furnace that had just been installed in his home on Crescent Hill, in Louisville. He was thrown some distance and burned about the head and chest, but his injuries are not dangerous, but quite painful. Dr. Logan was at one time pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Somerset. Interesting Paper. Mr. Elijah Logan today presented the Advocate with a copy of the Kentucky People, a local newspaper which was published at Perryville 21 years ago. It was edited by Woodson May, now a resident of Somerset. The paper contains much news which is very interesting. Danville Advocate. Still Unidentified.

Boyce Taylor are holding a four days religious debate at Providence Church, near Quail. Rev. Taylor is a Baptist minister, but what denomination Rev. Davis belongs to we do not know.

Interment followed in the City Cemetery. Mr. Surber moved to Somerset about two years ago from Oneida, Tenn. Since making this city his home he had become very popular and had many warm friends. He was a member of the Christian Church and was very active in all religious work. At the time of his death he was a member of the Official Board of the First Christian Church. Mr. Surber had been a very valued employee of the Southern Railroad and was highly thought of by all his fellow workmen and superiors. He was forty-five years of age. Auto Licenses Issued By The County Clerk Run Over Three Hundred. Some Out. There are still quite a few auto owners who have not paid their 1921 license to County Clerk Langdon. All auto licenses were due January 1, but Governor Morrow extended the time ten days which made Monday the last day to drive your machine on a 1920 tag. Up to Monday, Mr. Langdon had issued 314 passenger licenses, 51 truck licenses, 56 chauffeur licenses, six dealer's licenses and four for motorcycles. There is no question but what there are more automobiles in Pulaski County than the above number. Evidently many car owners are going to let their car stay in the garage. A majority of the licenses issued were for Ford cars. A.R. Wallace With Denney & Dodson. During this week Mr. A.R. Wallace, who has been with J.E. Lawhorn, undertaker, assumed his duties as funeral director and embalmer with Denney & Dodson on Mt. Vernon St. Mr. Wallace is a competent and efficient funeral director and embalmer and Messrs Denney & Dodson are better prepared now than ever to render service to those needing the assistance of a funeral director. Having been here but one year, Mr. Wallace has made many friends both in the city and in the country, who are glad to know that he will remain here to administer to them in the same careful manner when they need his services as he has in the past. Mr. Lawhorn will personally conduct his undertaking establishment, he being a licensed embalmer, and understands the undertaking business thoroughly. The death angel with its silent tread entered the home of Mr. James Vaught on January 4, 1921, and took away his loving wife, Cora. She was 21 years of age. She was loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was the daughter of Mr. Thomas Acey.
