Oct. 22, 1903 . . . Misses Sue McHenry, Irma Labrot and Edna Hume and Messrs. John Cannon, Dyke Hazelrigg, Ben Keenan and Frank Cannon spent Sunday with the family of W.I. Cannon of Elkwood. As there seems to be no opposition for the November election, the new city council will be the same as the old – R. Godson, W.G. Lehman, George H. Wise, L.F. Sutherland, Dr. B.F. Parrish and Dr. H.C. Kaselman. Frank Merrill and family and Miss Sallie Nave have moved to the Wise house on Winter Street just vacated by J.B. Wilkins. E.B. Riner has opened a meat store in the room adjoining Chapman’s grocery, Lee’s old stand. Quite a large party went over to Stamping Ground last Friday in quest of persimmons and hickory nuts. These they found in abundance. Walking on the new concrete pavement, which has just been finished, is indeed quite a luxury. Work has begun on the pavement on the west side of Winter Street and before many weeks that will be the best paved thoroughfare in the city. We are expecting to hear of a good many falls this winter when Rau’s hill becomes coated over with snow and sleet. Oct. 23, 1924 . . . Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Barnett entertained Thursday night at their home on Stephens Street with a fish fry for members of the Blue V Class of the Baptist Sunday school. Planned to contain 2,024 pages, a complete index to every one of the 200,000 odd land grants issued in the history of Kentucky is being completed by Dr. Willard Rouse Jillson for the Filson Club of Louisville.
