THE WATERW0RKs PROPOSITION.

The meeting, last Thursday night, TO
! consider the waterworks proposition,
called out a courthouse full of voters.
The sentiment seemed to be absolutely
all one way. Mention of the enter
prise brought frequent applause. Point
ed speeches were made by Judge Wood,
Col. Rathbun and Mr.. Hall, all of
which were warmly received. Before
adjournment q vote was taken, that it
was the sense Of the meeting that the
people of Lexington should adopt at
the polls the ordinance passed by the
city council. An adjournment was
then had until tonight, when another
meeting will be held which it is hoped
every citizen will endeavor to
attend.
There is no doubt now that the
proposition will carry by the necessary
two-thirds majority, but in the interest
of our good name for enterprise and
vim an effort should be made to have
the vote as nearly unanimous as posi-
BILE.
Let those who have thought here
tofore that they would oppose the
proposition pause and think. They
have the right, of course, to their own
views, and no one should impugn their
motives, but at this day when our town
is just beginning to advance in pros
perity, and when this fact is in every
body's mouth both at home and abroad,
a patriotic citizen should be careful
how he determines to obstruct its pro-
gress.
We have all the natural facilities for
a manufacturing town, and to build up
a place of 10000 or $4,000 inhabitants
in a very short time. Let us not stand
in the way of this contamination.
We have gone all over the ground
several times, and we will only add here
that the taxation feature need alarm
no one. The mandamus tax being
out of the way for next year the water
rates will only increase our taxation
over this year Is cents on the 800.
This we a easily stand, especially
when it will cause an expenditure in our
midst of $50 900, the profits on which
alone will pay the tax for two years.
After that our increased wealth will
reduce the rate of taxation rapidly |
year by year.
Let US see, friends and neighbers, if
we cannot all be together OH this i'm
portant question.

the most important offices in any

officer are plainly set out in the ordinances of

the same, they will see that it takes q compe-

duties of said Office, and no man however

who is too honest and conscientious to
be imposed upon by contractors and jobbers

Few people in this vicinity were
better known than John Newman
who died in San Fra ncisco last week.
From his earliest years he was con-
scientious and faithful to his ideas of
duty; kindness was the rule Of his
daily life; his face was an index of
his character, pleasant and peaceful.
Thoughyoung in years he had proved
himself trustworthy and reliable.
Ambitious to make his life a success
he had gone to San Francisco TO
Heald's Business College to fit him
self for business. ut was in his
heart to do something" Ms was re-
marked in the sermon at his funeral.
His tastes and habits were clean; he
was never seen In vicious company
nor did he practice any of the vile
habits contracted by so many. For
children he had always a kind word /.
BY his correct life he had endeared
himself to all with whom he came
in contact. Faithful to his employer,
obliging to his friends, devoted to
bus widowed mother. whose hope
and pride he was, he leaves behind
him an example worthy to be fol-
lowed, and naugbt but pleasant
memories. 1t is one of the myster.
les of life why the best and noblest
those around whom fondest hopes
center-while SO many whose lives
are useless to the world are left.
His funeral was largely attended,
and the moist eyes and sympathetic
faces Of all, from highest to lowest,
told the estimation In which Johnny
was held.
