we might say the entire country Is llaD!e
to be oyerfun by fire any dry, windy
lay. by reason Of the immense UNDER
growth OF wild grasses, weeds, DC. A
IRE under such circumstances would be
absolutely beyond control, and would
take in iarm properties by the score,
and in many places whole villages would
be included.

| LEXINGTON, KY.-The distance be-
tween Lexington and Cincinnati will be
twenty miles shorter by the Cincinnati
Southern railroad than by the Kentucky
Central, and the time will be two hours
shorter as there Will be few stops tor
the express trains to make. The rates
of fare will be considerably lowered.
These facilities of travel will take more
people to Cincinnati, who will find IL
convenient to purchase their goods there,
unless our slow coach merchants will
lower their prices, the landlords reduce
their high rents and the city govern
ment be economically administered so
as to do away with the ancient custom
ofleyying special taxes on storekeepers.
Useless city and pension offices must he
abolished and high salaries now paid to
certain city officials must be cut down
to Just what their services are worth.

takes half century to accomplish the
