Mary and Her Little Hat.

Mary had little hat,
Its crown was very low,
And everywhere that Mary went
That hat was sure to 60.
She wore 1t to the play one night,
And furnished fun for all,
For how those girls did laugh and shout
To see hat SO small.

VARIOUS VERSES.


varicolored asters now are
Decorating wood and field,
Pastures of the browsing COW are
Dotted with the mushroom yield;
Lush and fragrant now the grapes are.
Thistle down the meadows spray,
Camphorated coats and capes are
Nearing resurrection day.
In the swamps the maple leaves are
Fired with periodic fame,
Here and there the walnut thieves are
Laughing at the farmers aim;
In the eventide the CRATES are
Bright with that which warmth imparts.
On the stump the candidates are
Airing their laryngeal arts.
Moribund the garden plants are,
Frosts are fastening their fate.
Everywhere the canine pants" are
Getting rather out Of date;
Vernal odes returned with thanksn ara
AS they oft have been before,
And again the football cranks are

b. Williams of Alabama.
He served during the civil war in
the Tenth Tennessee cavalry, in the
confederate army. He was captured,
but released on parole in May, 1868.
'sNow, | have never been released
from the parole" he said, as he stood
in the Burnct lobby last night, s'and rs
long rs | obey the laws and do not
take up arms against the United States
government il is in force. | carry it
with me all the time, but until | am
discharged | am simplya United States
prisoner on parole. | have never taken
the oath of allegiance on that account.
But there need be no fear of my taking
up arms against the government. The
politicians may 90 ahead and do or say
what they please. I'll do no fighting
against this country's government.
But if any one of those foreign peopl,
get into Il fight with us then's when II
come out, get my discharge and 90 in
to the service" The parole is yellow

Bertram of the Twentieth Wisconsin

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Lexington merchants and business
men should bestir themselves and
strive To reclaim much OF the trade that
has drifted away to other towns. Good
roads, superior Inducements and liber-
al advertising will bring Il large trade
to this town that is now going else
where. There ought to be more CO.
operation between the merchants.
There ought to be more push, more en-
terprise, more advertising.
just think of II. No n is being
invited to come to Lexington to buy
lumber. Only M grocery house says
to the people sscOme here and buy
We have four boot and shoe houses.
Only two of them hold out their hands
to the people and say ''this is the place
to buy" We have machine shops,
factories. novelty and carpenter shops,
but not one of them is extending an
invitation to the people TO call and see
them. There are feed stores, but the
advertising columns of the papers do
not show them. We have book stores
and drug stores, we have hotels and
boarding houses, and groceries, but
how many of them do you see repre-
sented where their names should ever
appear? We have also some good
clothing stores, houses with stocks of
as elegant goods rs one will find any
where. Would you suspect it from
looking at this issue of the INTELLIGENT
GER?
But for some of our dry goods
stores, boot and shoe men and some
miscellaneous advertisers, the people
outside of Lexington might be par
doned if they entirely forgot that there
was such Il thing as Il town here. And
but for the work these advertisers are
doing, the trade of Lexington would be
confined to a little circle of country,
the radii of which would not be five
miles in length.
