One thing that Lexington wants and wants
badly, Is u decent opera house. The major
ity of the people OF this town like amuse-
ments but do not attend them because of The
miserable accommodations and bad order at
the present opera (?) house. AS has been
stated in these columns before, Messrs. ID. NJ.
Il j. L. Smith propose. if sufficient encour
aeement is given them, to build fine opera
house and furnish it with all the modern con-
veniences. Their plan is TO form stock
company with cash capital of at least S15.-
600, and to have the shares so small as to
enable everybody that feels any interest at all
| in an opera house to help build it, The
Messrs. Smith have started the ball to rolling
by offering 10 contribute TO the company the
ground on which to build, and they will also
subscribe large proportion OF the cash
| needed. good number of shares have
already been taken. Step up TO their store,
gentlemen, and put your name down for as
much stock as you feel YOU are able to taFe'
You will lose no money by the transactionl
but it will prove to be a good investment.
