the new bridge lust Monday. They returned
sonewha fatigued, 1t being their first march.
Several of the prominent citizens of Lexing-

by mixing IL partial promise that suitable
grounds would be prepared and inclosed in
Eilil Heights. Mr.. Emerson CuHnslor drove
Lynch, Hamilton and Atkinson out to the
