Albright, heMias made a success-ful Editor and'made many frieuds who 1 am sure regret to- see liiui retire as Editor of this county paper and 1 want to'-i^iy this to all who read this missivj I mean all whom - I made acquaintance with while in your county that I often think of you and now nice we all got alpngi both in"Business and- in . church., and in Suuday Scliool. "Mis- Crider aud I both join in sending you our sincere wishes for all that is good and great.

I want to tell you-just a little abolft this little town of Evarts, Ky., where ive live. This town is only 0110 year old and has «ll«ut .100 population—it. w -.1,rf rounded' by large ' mouutains which are very beautiful. We have people here from 'Pennsyl-vania, Conn.. West Va , St L"n's. lijuIsvilTc, Ohio I idiauu, Virginia Tenn., and some from !•'urope and lots friim Rockcastle county, and practically from every state. All seem, to enjoy .fltfise high mounlaiils and deep valleys. I "don't think there is any danger of freezing this , winter as tliTs place is surrounded by large coal operations. There are only three FOrd cars here in Evarts.. I guess if you should be in Jupiter you would seen Ford car there.

We have had a Bank organized and doing business now, since I came and Ixju^hl here, also a nice drug store and inovie. .

Mt. Vernon, Ky. Sir': —

I cannot help but compliment you on the resolution, set forth in the Signal as your motto a*r -an liditor. Those resolutions car-ried out, will sure be the means of a greater Rockcastle which 1 dt) believe is in store for Rock-castle County.

for several years, I must say I never met with better people any where than those I got acquainted ^ with while a citizen of your county, the good morals, the good. . churches and schools you have , Xhruout the "county are siune-- -thing I am proud of. There is a ' diTfeience in the spirit-of the churches here and down ia Rock- ' crstle, not the interest that should • be. There has just closed a 10 | days. Onion revival hdre with not one addition. I note in the Sig-nal the spirit of good roads is kindling up. I hope this interest will not die down untill then: are rood roads thruout the county.

I note also, yon have a now j Editor for the Signal, since I left ( the county. -I-do not know how ( he will pull in the EditDrial har-ness; but lets all give hini en- { couragement, as you all know | thnt Bro. "Voung has made good all his undertakings since he j j came to the .county and has al-ways been a,booster and nut a buster, ot the entire county. So lets all send in our subscription to the* Signal. Here comes mine • $2. -for two ye4rs sinscription to the Sigial. With all due respect to the retiring gditor, Mr- E. sj.
