Richmond Democrat:-'A Lexington man
with . wagon load of early vegetables, and
tomato, celery and cabbage plants did q
thriving business on the square Tuesday
morning. Strange to say, there is no one in
Richmond who makes a business of garden
Ing, something that would pay immensely
for the capital and labor expended"
Higginsville Post:-"Frsnk Thornton,
brother of o. ", passed through town last
week with over a hundred head OF young
cattle, taking them to pasture on the farm OF
George Roberts, near .Aullville. = =
Walter Beattie left, last Monday, for Dodge
81 City. Kansas, where he intends to stop while
prospecting for a suitable location to engage
IN the stock business. If he finds anything
satisfactory he will make his future home in
that state"
The people of Lexington and Lafayette
county should encourage honesty by buying
their wines, liquors, &C., from a man who
pays q heavy license for the privilege of sell
! ing them. True, it is popularity considered
more s'genteel' and respectable to sell liquor
without going through the formality of pay
ing the requisite license. but it is no more
| than common justice that We who pay the
I piper should enjoy y little Of the dancing. l..

Richmond Democrat:-"FrOm Mr.. sam
keller, of Lexington, we learn that Wabash
officials were in Lexington last week looking
over the situation and discussing the adviSa-
biiity of building a bridge across the river al
. Lexington. It Is said that the company cal
build q bridge there and pay for it inside o
SIX years from the savings in charges now
paid to the II y st. Joe for crossing theil
bridge at Kansas City. For every freight cal
that crosses the b. idge the Wabash pays 81 81
and for passenger ears 81 each, locomotive
45 each.
Lexington correspondence Kansas City
Times, April 1.-THE visit = of Wabasi
railroad officials to this place means some
thing little dreamed of by the people here
and thG.as the building OF 4 bridge across In
river, whether the Chicago, Burlington ant
: Quincy does or not. The Wabash pays tn
! Hannibal aud st. Joe Gaily 81 so for eael
freight and IS for each passenger car Whici
crosses the bridge. For what they pay out il
five years they could build a bridge, OF theil
own and tunnel the hill at Independence
Their present line would diverge at the Rich
mond junction for the river, and from tina
point to Kansas City they would only run
local trains."
Three or four years ago the Ferry Com.
pany, in consideration Of an agreement IL
very materially lower its tolls to persons lie.
Ftring to cross the river to trade In Lexington
secured q reduction IN its license of 50 pei
cent. Messrs. McCausland and AdamsOn, /
w remember correctly, urged that the re
duction Of license be made Since then the
lower license only has been collected from
the ferry company, while, re are told. they
have for some time been charging full fare
10 Ray county people who come here Il
trade. This Is a Jug handle sort of proceed
ing that the council should look INTO. II il il
70 be full fare for the ferry boat it shonld be
full license for the city.
