The state convention of the Ancient Order
OF Hibernians will meet in this city about
the middle of next month. If there is a full
attendance, which is now expected, there
will be 1876 delegates present. a great many
probably accompanied by their wives and
daughters. We know the good name of Lex
ington for hospitality will be royalty upheld
BY her Irish citizens, but they should not
be neglected by our people of other nation
alities. Let us give them p hearty welcome,
one and all.
The plan of the Franklin Square Circula-
ting Library which is to be established in our
city with Leomis Bros. is as follows: The
library will not be established of less than 40
members and will contain one and one-half
times as many books as members, until the
club reaches 100. All libraries of 100 men,
bers or over will he entitled to 125 more
books than members at the time Of opening,
and for every two additional members three
books will be furnished. The membership
Is one dollar for two years and is not to be
paid until the club is formed and the books
are placed in the hands of the librarian ac-
cording 10 the terms specified above.
We have taken no part between the candi-
dates for the council, nor as it stands do we
know that there is any reason why we should,
but we want to say to the people of the city
that they need to strengthen the council
They should neither elect men who will re-
solve themselves into "wind-milIs," and
thereby retard business and annoy everyone
who has to do with the body, nor should they
elect dummies who cannot express them
selves or advocate the interests of their con
stituents. As late as it is, if better men can
be induced to serve than any who have offer
ed up to this time it ought to be done. The
interests OF the city in a good council are
very great at this time.
The ladies of a number of the churches OF
the city have been engaged of late in ii plan
for establishing what is called a ''WOman's
Exchange 1t is a cooperative arrangement
between the ladies of a lumber of churches
whereby they have weekly for sale, cakes,
bread, other culinary products, and also
needlework. 1t no doubt possesses some
merit, but we fear it would still further
encroach upon the means of sustenance of the
bakers and sewing women of the town. The
best way, the most honest way to raise money
tor a church or churches is for those WHIT
wish them well to put their hands in theil
pockets. OF course we indorse the active CO
. operation of the ladies in church work; nc
church can get along without their aid; W,
do not even now say that the "Woman's Elk
change" may not be managed in such a wa'
as to make it a good thing, but if it goes reg
ularly into the baking and sewing business
week in and week out. is it not. liable TO d.
what we have intimated ?
Last Saturday afternoon, John Syrie, son O
the late Moses Syrie, recently deceased, a
Mayview, attempted to board through freigh
train No 70, which does not stop at that sta
ton, but missed his footing and fell between
the platform and rails. The agent saw Syr.
as he jumped and Immediately signaled tn
engineer to stop. which was done as soon a
possible and Syrie removed from his danger
Gus position. Upon examination it wa
found that the great toe upon his left foG
was terribly crushed and the foot scverel
buised, but it was thought no other bone
were broken. HIS right foot was also injul
ed somewhat, but not seriously. Had it no
been for the presence of mind of the agent il
giving the signal to stop and then jumpin,
forward and holding Syrie down as he at
tempted to rise, the accident would hav
been much more serious, as, had he succeed
ed, in bis dazed condition, in getting upo
his knees eveG he would have been hit in til
head or body 10y the moving train and mo;
certainly killed. If Syrie did not recely
some internal injury, which had not been di
covered when we left, he will be about agar
shortly, but we do not think he will agai
attempt such a fOolhardy act. 1t should als'
be a warning to others at the same place
particularly the boys from IL to IL years
age, whosare often guilty Of the same foo
ishuess and should be driven from the lpla
form and yard by those in charge.
