We have been eating biscuit, this week,
made from new flour manufactured by A.
v. Robinson s. Co. The flour Is white, light
and bakes unusually well to be made from
new wheat. This mill always makes good
goods and keeps up to the times.
Lexington merchants should not grumble
if the people fail to come here to do their
trading, unless they make an effort to get
them to come. A failurs to advertise their
inducements to customers will surely result
in a large amount of our trade going to the
| smaller towns.
A great many LeXingtonians went down

there was q sham battle by the st. Louis
police reserves. 1t was a grand day.
In a great majority Of cases subscribers
papers are discontinued, not because the
printer thinks dellnquents intend to deiraud
him, but because it is the most forclble way
to remind them that a printing Office cannot
be run without money. Forgetfulness is the
great cause of delinquent subscribers.

going will soon be more fashionable because
less costly.

bushel for the year round, and steady work
The miners have been considering the pro
position for some days, but with q probable
ty that they Will not accept it. We have moi
sufficiently studied the matter to express al
opinion. but would like very much to see al
parties satisfied and work once more re
sumed.
One of our lady friends states that she /.
almost afraid to come TO town, as there ar,
so many dead hogs aud chickens lying along
the road side. at which her horses become
frightened, and are Utmost uncomfortable
: The odor therelrom is also very offensive t.
man and beast. The practice of leaving
r dead animals on the highway should not b.
I tolerated In any neighborhood. and it i
. much worse in the neIghborhood OF own
as more persons have to pass them.

there is no sort OF doubt as to his cOmpeten
