We hear Of several excellent families that
will shortly move into Lexington for better
educational advantages. 1t is this influence
that does 30 much to render Lexington one
of the most pleasant places to live in, in Mis-
souri,, and that gives it cultured society. Our
schools do much for our material, pecuniary
interests, but they do more in another and a
better direction.
Mr.. AL. Leard does not much relish the
means which were used to defeat him last
Tuesday. In order to prejudice the negro
vote against him it was whispered about that

what some people call politics, and yet there
are men who believe with Bob. Ingersoll
that there is no hell.

1.-The coast surveying party have been here
and gone. Capt. Granger, the head of the
party, informs us that he expects to return

There appears to be a prospect, at last, that
the pupils of the First Ward school will get
q sidewalk to their schoolhouse. Mr.. Gibbons
introduced at the special meeting, last Satur-
day night, an ordinance to have ten feet off
of the lots owned by the Catholic church con-
demned, The city before doing this offered
800 for the strip. As Mr.. Howell had the
assessment on all five lots go feet by 15O feet
each) reduced last year to $3.50, it does seem
to US hat the city made a fair offer for one
fifteenth of the property, even supposing
that it is worth twice as much as its owners
were willing to have it valued for assessment.
The thanks of the community are due to Mr..
Gibbons for taking decisive steps to settle the
matter.
