It seems to us that the Higginsvllle and
Odessa papers exhibit very poor taste in their
exulta,ion over the collapse Of Lexington's
railroad project. In the first place the pro-
ject Is not dead, and In the second. II they
are interested in the prosperity of the whole
county, as they shouldbe, they should rejoice
to see Lexington prosper, especially as 1t
would not be to their detriment. Lexington
does not ridieule their hopes, but ~rejoices in
their growth and prosperity. We do not be-
lieve such sentiments are those Of the mass of
people in those neIg~hborhoods.

An incident occurred at the Christian
SAuACC . ouu0oy ~
how easily q person can be mistaken. Elder
Lucas, in his sermon, made several illustra-
tions. He stated that Aops was. an evidence
Of fear. sIfI hops my friend is well, l fear
he is sick.' He continued: "Suppose you
have . friend stopping at a large hotel in
Kansas City and the news comes by telegraph
that last night the hotel was burned, and
many lives lost. You say Immediately,
Aope.my friend was not lost, but you fear that
he WAS" A young lady In the audience, who
was, perhaps, scanning some other LADY,
bonnet, or maybe, looking at the-the-the
preacher, only heard the last Of the sentence
and after meeting was over astonished bel
friends by telling them that "s large hote,
wasburned al. Kansas City last night, and ,
great many lives lost. 1t must have been ar
awful thing, as Brother Lucas referred to il
In his sermon this morning." She declare.
she was listening closely. -
