in eighteen miles OF Mt. Sterling, or ~

| have cheap and an abundant supply Of
| coal and water before she can expect TO
be populous city: These are necessi-
ties of life and comfort, and are abso-
| lutely necessary for manufacturing pur-
| poses.
The prosperity of every community de-
pends upon the energy and enterprise OF
its inhabitants, and unless the people Of
Lexington make an effort to supply the
city with coal and water, fifty years
hence will find it the same old fogy place
that it is now.
