The Lexington Reporter writes TO the
Higglnsville Post: -" Our merchants are
moi disposed to grumble because of hard
times. Since a free ferrlage has been eslab-
lished, Ray county farmers are bringing
their wood, corn and other produce to Lex
ingtOn consequently the goose hangs high and
trade Is brisk. = For the past six
years we have observed closely the growth of
Lexington. Tit Town has received large adj
ditions in territory and population. Old
buildings have been torn down; new and sub
stantial structures have been erected Ou every
hand. Business enterprises backed by ample
capital have been established, and to-day We
are near to an era of prosperity not dreamed
OF six years ago."
Mr.. Robert Crumpley, who had served the
city very acceptably rs a SPECIAL policeman,
was laid off some time ago on account of
there being no money with which TO pay him.
Somebody got up a subscription to pay his
salary, and Mayor Hamlet again appointed
HIM OH the police, with the understanding
that his salary was to be paid by private sub
scription. Last Tuesday night the tire-bell
was rung, and the mayor FASTENED to the en-
glne house. He found 4 crowd there, and
Mr.. Crumpley in the crowd, under the in
tiuence of intoxicants. The mayor at once
demanded his star, pistol sud commission,
which were surrendered. This was an I'M
fortunate spree for Mr.. Crumpley, As he was
considered as having a good chance to be the
next city marshal.
