The dedication of the Christian Church at Knifley, Ky., this county, will take place Sunday, October 30th, 1921 at 11 a.m. The people of that community are very proud of their new house of worship having spent the amount of three thousand dollars. It is a credit to the congregation and the community.



Rev. W.G. Montgomery of Somerset, Ky., will preach the dedicatory sermon, and great crowds are expected to be on hand. Everybody is requested to bring lunch with them, and an all day celebration is to be enjoyed.
