An observant newspaper man somewhere
says: all mankind and womanklnd were
half as good as they pretend to be ,the world
would be much better than 1t is. 1t seems,
however, that there always has been and we
suppose there always will be q class OF
fanatics and hypocrites to meddle with the
affairs of their neigbbors with the pretense
OF making society better"

A great deal of wheat Is being hauled in
to Lexington from q considerable distance
on account OF the liberality of our buyers.
The mills here use some ten thousand
bushels per month, and are, in addition to
this, buying to hold, A. V. Robinson Il Co.
having at least ten thousand bushels on
hand. Tie elevator is also buying to hold,
and has some fifteen thousand bushels on
hand. The price paid is from 80 to So cents
per bushel.
Our lady friends may now begin their
searches for leaves and ferns to beautify
their homes. Many very pretty ornaments
may be made OF the "cat tail'' found in
abundance In the bottom above town. They
are all the rage in the east, and are put to all
manner OF uses. Ferns should be kept in
shape from the moment they are gathered,
and to accomplish this it is best to carry to
the fields a book of some sort, made of
porous paper is the best, and place them be-
tween the leaves Immediately.

which was awarded the premiums, we may

Monday, he let 60 of his lines for a moment
to shut the gate, when the horses took fright
and ran up Main street at terrible speed.
The street was filled with people in q mo.
ment, and the crowds on the side walk
managed to keep the team in the middle OF
the street. NO damage was done, until op-
