Az TO NEWS,

A great deal is said sometimes about
news. About the quantity and the quail
ity of news, etc. When it comes to pub
fishing news, the INT-ELLIGENCER instead
of being behind is always far ahead of its
contemporaries, not only in quantity but
in quality.
True 1t does not stuff it's columns with
items as to who went to Kansas City yes
terday, or who returned from Sedalia last
week or who had crossed the street to see
her neighbours speckled cat, and such
truck, but when it comes to telling what
has happened-if the happeningi is of gem
eral interest it gets there with both feet
every time.
In matters of court proceedings, of
political import, of improvements, of mar
riages, births and deaths, it generally
keeps far ahead, permitting it's contem-
poraries to come along next week bur-
dened with matters that as far as this
paper is concerned are from five to ten
days old.
OF course there are happenings away
from the county seat which the INTELLI-
eENCER cannot always get when fresh,
but If it's friends will drop it a postal when
such things happen we'll print them, and
thus tell all the world about it.

Cry full OF power aud OF tenderness,
Prepare We the way OF the Lord"
But that voice is now silent. tin longer
shakes the'rafters, nor causes sin to trem-
BILE down ipto it's boot-heels. No more
sounds the echoing organ. No more the
sweet singers respond to Number Y, or
offer to"help you on your way" The big
tabernacle is closed, the meetings are at
an end
The ending was q glorious one and came
OF Sunday night agreeable to promise. On
the following day, Elder Martin departed
for st. Louis, and Prof. Easton went for a
turkey hunt down in Kansas.
The meeting Sunday night was one of
the best OF the series, and rounded up
with twenty eight additions, thus swelling
the total number of additions for the en-
tire meetings to 252. This is decidedly the
best result ever reached by any religious
meeting in Lexington, and next in i'm
portance in the state.
In a short time Elder Martin will re-
sumo operations and his next point of
attack will be in Richmond. All Lexing-
ton is invited to come over and heard him
pound the true doctrine into the ungodIy
of Richmond and Ray.

who have united with the church.

A LAFAYETTE COUNTY BOY ABROAD.


The Huntsville Herald of a late issue
mentions in most fiattering term the
drill of the Salisbury Academy cadets in
tlat town a few days ago. The cadets
were under command of Capt. Keith and
t ,eir evolutions, manual drill and general
soldierly appearance were highly praised
by all. Capt. Keith is a native of Lafay-
cite county, being a son of w. p. Keith,
OF MAYHEM, and received his appointment
from Hon. r. A. Hicklin, as first cadet
from Lafayette county, under the law

sity cadets. Upon graduating from that
institution his proficiency entitled him
to have his name enrolled in the u. s.
army register. He is at present engaged

She Proposes to Leave Money to Her Town
Under Novel Restrictions.
The town fathers of Wilmington, Mass, are
wondering what they shall do with gift from
q benevolent old lady Of seventy years, Miss
Sabra Carter. who has imposed such novel re-
strictions as to make the gift white elephant
on their hands. Miss Carter proposes to give
the town fifty shares Of stock paying about 10
per cent interest, she TO have the interest on
the stock while she lives, and after her decease
the interest to be expended as follows:
The income Of ten shares purchased Of the
Lombard Investment Company, for which she
paid 81, 030 is to be used for 'the painting Of
houses in Wilmington for those who shall ap-
ply for it, one or two each year, who do not
keep a dog and have not kept one for two
years, and who have been members Of tenn
perance society for the same period of time,
and are not in the personal use Of tobacco"
II there are no applications for a coat Of paint
gratis the income may be used one-half for
ornamentihg the common and the other to
beautify the cemetery. The income Of twenty
pany, which we're bought for 81, 17S, is to be
devoted to two purposes, one-half the income
to 60 toward the purchase for the public library
Of scientific books. works Of travel, DC, and
the remainder to be devoted to lectures on
similar subjects. These lectures must be given
on Wednesday afternoons, when the travelling
is in good condition and school children can
conveniently attend. II there is sufficient ac-
commodation people from neighboring towns
may be invited.
Miss Carter makes several provisions with
twenty shares in the Howard State Bank Of
Kansas, which shares, she says, may be worth
about S220. One-fourth Of the income Of these
shares she sets apart for renoyating marbles in
