At Last Street Construction Is To Begin. Connelly Given Contract. At a meeting of the City Council last Monday night a contract for extensive street improvement was given to the Connelly Construction Co., of this city, with instructions to begin work at once and put Main, College, Depot, Maple, Jacksboro and one or two others in good condition. The money derived from the occupational tax will pay for the improvements. The Council has a stormy session for a few minutes over some work the Street Chairman was doing without authority from the Council - so several members stated. Mr. Day, the Chairman, with the consent of the Mayor and one or two members of the Council, had given a contract for several loads of gravel to be spread on the streets where most needed. Several members of the Council objected to the use of gravel on the grounds that it would not hold and would be a waste of money. Mr. Day explained that he did not intend to use the gravel for permanent work but just to fill up the holes for fair travel. Finally everybody cooled down and work progressed harmoniously. The quarterly bill of the Kentucky Utilities Co., amounting to $1,986.25 was allowed. The Mayor reported that the sewer on Central Ave. has cost the city about $500.00 already and that the amount would be apportioned among those who tap it. If it stops up again it will be abandoned entirely. Mr. S.G. Cundiff was elected a member of the Board of Supervisors in the place of Mr. J.F. Tandy who is ill. The Board elected Chas. Cundiff clerk. Jim Prather appeared before the Council and asked that the special licenses on fire insurance companies be taken off. He said the companies had added an extra 1 per cent to take care of the tax and it would amount to more than the city would get out of the license. Danville Decreases. Danville folks are up in the air because the census report from Washington says that they lost 386 in population during the past ten years. The Board of Commerce will probably have the count made over at their own expense. The report says that the population is 5,034. Somerset feels the same way and we are sure that if an accurate count was made that Somerset would have at least 30 per cent more than given her by the census report. Carr - Crozier. Miss Josephine Carr of this city and Mr. Hugh Crozier of Owensboro, Ky., were quietly married at the Christian Church parsonage last Thursday evening by Rev. D.W. Scott. Only the immediate family and a few friends were present. Mr. and Mrs. Crozier left for Owensboro Friday where they will reside. Mrs. Crozier is the attractive daughter of Mrs. Mary Carr and is a popular member of the younger set of Somerset. Mr. Crozier is connected with the State Highway Department as an engineer and is located at Owensboro. He is the son of Captain W.S. Crozier and is a very popular young man. He stands very high in his chosen profession. Big Celebration. The citizens of Shopville and Buck Creek neighborhood held an all day meeting at the Shopville Bridge last Saturday to celebrate the opening of Wilda Way, a new road which will connect Shopville with the Mt. Vernon pike. There was a big dinner on the ground and several speeches made by prominent citizens. Mr. A.W. Sears was chairman of the meeting. Nunnelly. Mrs. W.G. Nunnelly, age 69 years, died at her home near Somerset August 7th. Funeral services were held at the home and burial took place in the city cemetery. She leaves a husband and eight daughters and one son, and was the first of her family to die. They all attended the funeral. Mrs. Nunnelly was a splendid Christian woman and will be greatly missed. Offered Place. Professor Hill of Louisville has been offered the position of Superintendent of the Somerset City Schools. He has not given his answer yet. Prof. Hill is one of the most prominent educators in the state and the Board of Education feel they will be lucky to secure a man of his type. Has Good Job. "Red" Roberts, our football hero, has been made one of the Assistant Superintendents this summer at the Bourbon Stock Yards. "Red's" job only calls for a half days work and he spends the afternoon getting in shape for the coming football season. It is said that half of Louisville turns out every afternoon to see "Red" perform in Cherokee Park. Crab Orchard Route. Miss Mae Williams of this place and Mr. Lloyd Routen of Waynesburg, Ky., were quietly married at the home of Mr. W.H. Williams on August 8th. The bride is the accomplished daughter of C.M. Williams. Mr. Routen is a hustling young business man of Waynesburg. They have the best wishes of a host of friends. Breaks Arm. Mr. B.C. Lair had the misfortune to break his arm this week when his horse became frightened and overturned his buggy. School Census. The school census of Pulaski County shows that there are 9,477 children within the school age. Will Not Move. Mr. Walter N. Flippin says that it is all a mistake that he is thinking of moving to Monticello. He said the rumor must have gotten started on account of the fact that he was looking at some property there to buy as an investment but not to live in. Somerset people will be glad to know that the genial judge is to stay with us. Get A Duster. The Pu-John Coil Co., composed of Somerset people, drilled in a duster in Johnson County last Saturday. The machinery has been moved to the Wright lease and drilling will start on the second well at once. While no oil was found in the first well it is producing several million feet of gas and can be marketed at a nice profit. Barren Fork Closed. The Barren Fork mines have been closed for several weeks on account of the railroad bridge giving way. The company is taking advantage of this opportunity to make some improvements in the mine. They are installing quite a good deal of equipment. On Camping Trip. Dr. W.E. Hunter and family left Tuesday for a motor trip to Lake Erie where they will camp for several weeks. They took with them a tent and cooking outfit and will camp en route. They expect to be gone a month or longer. Buys Interest. Mr. Onie P. Hamilton has purchased an interest in the Somerset Coal & Feed Co., and will have charge of the transfer end of it. He will begin his duties September 1st. Called Game Off. The baseball game between Mt. Vernon and Somerset which was scheduled for last Sunday was called off because Mt. Vernon tried to play a "hold up" game. They consented to come for expenses and the local management went to the expense to advertise the game. Later in the week they called up and wanted expenses and one half of the gate receipts. There was nothing doing from this end of the line so the game was called off. Wants Credit. The Journal last week told of a sale of eight Poland-China pigs for $600.00. Mr. Dillard Couch owned a half interest in these pigs and raised them on his farm. It was his interest that was sold to Mr. Shadoan. Mr. Couch raised a Duroc last year that took the blue ribbon at the North Carolina State Fair. Ordered to Funston. Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 7 - Maj. Charles Morrow, who has been visiting his brother Gov. Edwin P. Morrow, at the mansion since his return from Siberia, has been ordered to report for duty at Camp Funston, Kansas, and will leave tomorrow for the post. County Agent News. County Agent Wilson announces that Mr. E.G. Welsh, field specialist in farm engineering, will be in the county this week and will visit the following farms to assist in any engineering problems the farmer has to solve: Chris Tartar, Rabbittown; A.T. Spears, Ringgold; W.F. Wilson, Nancy; H.S. Hail, Pisgah; J.C. Stallard, Dabney. The rain has helped the tobacco crop in the county and it now looks fine. The disease known as "frenching" has about run its course. There is not likely to be another outbreak. Farmers should begin now to get ready to house their tobacco and not wait until the last minute. Barns should be gotten in shape now as it takes considerable work. There are a few new barns going up. Other farmers in the county should follow the example of Jack Edwards. He is sowing six bushels of crimson clover. This is an excellent crop for corn land and is used to in the place of fertilizer. County Agent Wilson urges all farmers who are going to use the same land for corn next year to sow this crop. Resolutions. We have heard with great regret of the death of Mrs. Wm. Keeney, the mother of our brother C.L. Keeney and desire to express the most sincere sympathy of this lodge to our brother in this great loss. A mother's love is the greatest and most unselfish of all earthly affections and our brother's loss is the saddest of all human losses.
