Ollie BURTON and family are enjoying a new radio which they had installed last week. Grandma RAGSDALE, who has been very low is some what improved and resting better at present. Samuel TOLBERT and Noble FELKNOR, of Bedford, attended the funeral of Ivan HAM at this place Saturday afternoon. Clifford RAGSDALE has moved on the B.S. ALLEN farm to work for him the coming summer. Mr. and Mrs. Frank ALLEN have both been poorly for several days. Hope they will soon be enjoying good health again. Miss Alice CHILDS is nursing Mrs. Wesley WILSON, of Orleans, during her sickness. This community received quite a shock by the almost sudden death of Bro. Ivan HAM which occurred at St. Edwards hospital of New Albany, last Wednesday morning at 4 o'clock. The church and community will feel the loss very much."
