The matter OF a telephone lin, reaching to
all the towns In the county, with a central
office located 10 this city, must not be lost
sight Of by our citizens. Besides being Of
great convenience 10 our coal operators and
county officials, 1t would be the means Of es.
tablishing a large trade with our city which
now Is almost entirely lost to It.
A rope has been attached To the Town clock
bell and run down into the second story of
the court house where IL can be reached by
any one when II becomes necessary 10 ring
the bell. That II makes an excellent fire bell
was proven when the fire broke out in the
mouse occupied by MIR. Jno. Burris last Tues
day morning. Persons giving an alarm Of fire
would do well to remember this. 1t can be
heard very plainly ut any point In town.
Lexington never stops at one ire. When
one tresks out it IS almost foregone con-
clus!on that another will break out in \ short
while. The record remains unbroken. Mrs.

Good roads are az necessary for the pros-
perity Of a town as are good veins and arte.
ries to the health OF our bodies. Az the body
cannot exist with clogged arteries. so no town
can prosper while the roads leading thereto
are blockaded a large part OF the year BY mud,
ruts, hills, wash outs. dangerous bridges, &C.,
SC. Let our business men think of this and
then bestir themselves In regard TO the roads
leading into this city, some Of which are Ia q
most distressing condition, notably the We'll
lington road. over which q large trade should
come which Is now lost TO our merchants.
We now haYe rapid aud easy access to the
Ray county shore via the pontoon bridge.
But The bridge will DO our merchants and
other business mea no good unless they make |
some effort to draw the trade Of that section
this way. And the first thing TO be done
should be TO have the roads leading from Lex.
IngtOD to the Junction Hardin, Morton. CAM

be q pleasure 10 drive over them, winter or

Ing on tho road between Richmond and Lex
ington when the bad places south OF Il. A. L.
Junction are fixed up IN G BOD shape. Work
on that end Of the road Is badly needed and
should not be delayed. Since the opening Of
the pontoon bridge at Lexington, the dis.
tanee between that city and Richmond seems
to have been shortened at least one. half, and
fits no trouble at all TO bitch up q team and
TO Lexington and return In a few hours.
and the same with the Lexington people
when they want TO come over TO Richmond.
IN the future there will be a great deal more
visiting between the people Of the two towns,
and a friendly intercourse will be awakened
that has heretofore never existed. Almost
every day the road from Richmond TO Lex.

OF Sundays. The road oversesr in charge of
