Who acknowledge, however, that anticipating an early fall
trade, they bought unusually large: Their expectations,
with those of every other merchant in Lexington, have not
been realized in consequence Of the unusually long continu-
ance Of summer weather, and, rather than take the risk of
catching up with the already lost trade in the balance Of the
season, they have made up their minds that if Low Prices

its side toward the railroad track. Some
days ago as the train paused there for break
fast, a healthy, good-looking young woman
might have been seen at the wOOd-pile, just
in rear of the house here mentioned, chop
ping wood, and doing it well. First the
chips flew far and near as the white arms
welded the axe in true American style In
cutting the sticks to a proper length. Then
the splitting began, and when the slnewy
Ii ,nds brought down the shining metal 1t
generally left two parted bilIets at the block.

air and coming down with force, the de-
sired result was sure te follow. So she went
on, her black HAIR pushed back upon her
fair forehead, the rich, warm color in her
cheek until she had completed her task.
When it was about half done, a hal.-urowp
lad emerged from the house and with both
hands in his pantaloons pockets, stood by
cOOlly locking on at the woman doing n
mans work. Several passengers commented
upon this, but what was their surprise, "a
lew minutes later, to see full grown man
join the lad, and, shot gun in hand, stand
idly by while the woman continued to make
the chips fly. We don't know who the peo-
pie are, but we give the pIucky woman and
the ungallant man this notice to express our
opinion that the division of labor IN thai
family has not been very justly made. II

lady who entered the cars before the above
scene, remarked that women should not be
