Mrs. HestOr's husband, Mr.. A.
HestOr, during his lifetime, was one of
the most enterprising and successful
business men in Lee county, and the
experience gained from him in the
mercantile business was of great adj
vantage to Mrs. Hestor in assuming
and operating so large business.
Her motto seems to be "a place for
everything and everything in it's
place." and she has, without doubt,
one Of the neatest and best selected
stocks of goods in Lexington. Mrs.
HestOr has 5000 acres of land that she
will sell in tracts to suit purchasers
and on the most reasonable terms;
which she prices at from So to SIS per
acre, according to location and i'm
prOvements.

derstands how to keep first class
hotel. The table at the Exchange
