Four acres of beautiful woodland has
been purchased by the Agricultural and
Mechanical Association Of this County
from the Sayer estate and added to our
| beautiful Fair Grounds Thisis quite an
accession to the grounds and seems al
most to be Indispensable. 1t is covered
with lofty and magnificent forest trees
and is one of the most beautiful pieces OF
\ woodland around Lexington. 1t will be
4 a cool, shady and beautiful resort for
those who spread their dinners on the
beautiful carpet Of blue grass. Other
improvements are also going to be made
that will add to the beauty, facility and
comfort of attendants. A floral hall is
spoken, and we hope will coon be in
course of construction.
We read letter from our old friend
James O'Brien, late Of this county, but
now of Usage Mission, Kansas, to James
P. Jones of this county. Jimmie's many
friends will be pleased to hear from him,
that he and his family are we'll, and that
he is pleased, and also that the Foyer
family are we'll and doing well. In the
course of his letter he says: 'There is
not much work Of any kind going on out
here, except farming. They say there is
right smart of improvement to be made
in town this summer. like this place
very well for the short time that have
been here, but can't tell much about it
until ! see what kind Of corn crop grows
this season. John Foyer says that this
place is long ways ahead of jacks
Greek. The Foyer family are getting
along very well, and are going to put in
a big crop. The grasshoppers and chinch'
bug have not made their appearance vet,
and | am not in hurry to bee them. My
best regards to A. M. White and George
Chigston, and also to Henry Stahel."
