Lebanon Junction as a Junior in the
High School of that place.
Hon. S. G. Thornberry, our
representative in the General
Assembly, was here Saturday. Most
important of several duties is being
a member of the committee on
Revenue and Taxation.
In the recent diploma examination,
of 41 students, 35 passed. The best
and highest general average was
made by Miss Mildred Beeler of the
Lebanon Junction school, while
Miss Hazel Funk of Cupio made the
next highest. Miss Beeler has been
trained by Mrs. A. A. Allison and
her entire class shows careful
training and preparation. She will
enter the high school department
over there soon and should make a
fine high school pupil.
Miss Funk is the daughter of Ernest
and Minnie Ridgway Funk and is a
splendid young girl and a good
student as well. She left Monday to
enter school at Nazareth and expects
to stay there four years.
Since the auto is used so much in
this county, this winter the following
should be noticed and observed by
boys and young men who run
machines. A boy of nineteen of
Brooklyn was found dead at the
steering wheel of his father’s
automobile in the garage. Like many
others, he had been killed by
breathing air poisoned by carbon
monoxide fumes from the exhaust.
A very pretty wedding was
solemnized Wednesday evening in
Lebanon Junction, when Miss Zelma
E. Samuels became the bride of Dr.
Jas. W. Thomas of Hodgenville.
Attendants were Miss Carolyn
Howard of Louisville and Mr. B. T.
Taylor, a schoolmate of Mr.
Thomas.

and we congratulate the groom on
his excellent judgment. They will
