Daughters Of the Confederacy.

At the regular meeting OF the daughters
OF the Confederacy, which took place at
the rooms of the Southern Historical Soc
iety in st. Louis, last week, an informal
discussion arose in relation to furnishing
the confederate home. This will be the
first work of the ladies, and measures
will be taken to do so as rapidly as posi-
BILE. 1t was suggested that much valuable
aid might be given by the donation of
furniture and other; household goods,
many members no doubt having spare
furniture not in use which could be re-
paired and made genteel and comfortable
which they would be glad TO donate, when
it is known that it is desired. Funds will
be raised by voluntary contributions, fees
for membership, and by a series OF popu-
lar entertainments, the first of which will
be a grand strawberry feast as % as the
season opens.

has come to, as | was plainly told last
Saturday by a number of the wealthiest
farmers with whom | talked ut the Chinn
sale In Clay township. While they wished
to trade with Lexington, they declared
the condition of the county road to be
such rs to COMPEL them to go elsewhere
AS l had just made the trip over this road,
with one horse and buggy and had re-
peatedly said to myself, eff l Ia not
started | would gladly pay my way on the
cars" / could not answer them Il word in
gentlemen said some of our county court
was opposed to doing anything towards
making Il good road between these points.
AS to this | do not know; one thing l do
know, if Lexington gets the trade of the
well-to-do citizens OF Clay she must build
u good and safe way for them to get there
by. The road from Myrick to the old jim
Mitchell place is confined to q very narrow
space between the hill and the Dad bed
of the Missouri Pacific railroad track and
its switches. The railroad has no outlet
for the accumulated water and there is
actually no drainage To the county road.
The result is the loaded wagons work
this water and earth into imp assable mud
holes and this is the condition OF the road
to-day and will be so long as the rain falls
and there is no escape for it.
The question may be asked, "What are
you going to do about it?" Forone l would
answer. Let's hold n meeting Mt the court
house, select five men who have the inter-
est of Lexington ut heart to &c over this
entire route and then make report as to
what is best to do about il.

Suppose il is true that the four colleges
in Lexington have sent to Columbia, or to
Van Diemen's Land, for hat matter, to
have their catalogues printed, and sup
pose they will have to pay $500 for them
isn't 1t their right to have their work done
wherever they can get it cheapest? The
JNTELLIGENCER's bid on the four cata-
logues was 1904 30; and isn't it a praise
worthy scheme to save four dollars and
four bits on a job like that? Then there's
another consideration. The colleges will
have the sweet privilege OF p%atronizing
he express companies, helping "Uncle
Sam"o out buying postage stamps to return
proof sheets, ct cetera. Besides that, they
will have the pleasure of contributing
wealth to a foreign enterprise which don't
send any of its young ladies and young
gentlemen here to be educated, and which
doesn't annoy the college bosses by trying
to secure pointers on commencement ex-
e~rcises, write-ups OF college entertain
ments, ct id a good many other things.
The INTELLIaENCER is altogether con-
tent. In short, it feels not like a lean and
hungry Cassius, moi like q bronze statuette
of Atlas with a whole world resting on its
shoulders. A great load has been lifted
off it's back and it is free. No proof to
read, no hurry and worry over getting
work out on time; no making of pie crust
promises. All it will have to do will be
to sit astride of n ~three-cornered rail and
wear its head bald trying to study up new
points to prove to everybody that they
should ~patronize the Lexington colleges
because they are "home Institutions"

Not the Stufi He Wanted.

Last Saturday his honor, Tim Howard,
the alcalde OF Myrick, with his grandson
started to the interior OF Ray county after a
load of potatoes. They had crossed the river
and were in the heavy timber just beyond
where the James boys robbed n stage
coach, about twelve or fourteen years
ago, when a strapping big fellow riding
a mule met them. Hailing the wagon the
fellow said, "where are you going?" 81
am going after a Dad of potatoes" was
the prompt reply. 'Then," said the big fell
low, with Il significant move OF his hand
toward his pistol pocket, sin that case
you ought TO have some stuff about you"
$ / have" answered Howard, drawing a
DO caliber bull dog. "Here's my wife's
dinner basket and it's full. How dye like
it?" CHATS not the kind of stuff Pm
after" said the big fellow, and putting
spurs to his mule he quickly disappeared
in the woods.

How TO Get to lexington from
Wellington,

With no railroad facilities west of us and
less il possible on the county road it is a
serious question. "How to get To Lexing-
ton from Wellington and Clay township"
Next to Lexington township our best trade
comes from Clay township, and truly it is
a Godsend to Wellington that the county
road is virtually impossible. Ii 1 were
doing business in Wellington / would
never encourage a passable road enterprise
between Wellington and Lexington, for it
il to Weilington's interest that the trade
stop with them and an impassabis road
from the big Sni TO Lexington is the life
of Wellington. The tax payers can afford
to AXE two days in the year to come on
the railroad and settle their annual rental
with the collector, coming one day and
returning the next. This is just what it

The necessity for better train service
on the Lexington branch is becoming
more apparent to Sedalians every day,
says the Gazette of that city. The loss
sustained by Sedalia business men OH this
account is direct and amounts TO no small
item. For instance, a lady OF Sweet Springs
intended coming to Sedalia yesterday to
do some shopping. She had seventy-five
dollars laid away for that purpose; but
the accommodation train on the Lexing-
ton branch was W hours late, and the
lady in preference to coming to Sedalia
and having to remain here over night
went to Kansas City and spe mt her money
with the merchants there.
