Thursday to Friday evening.It was helped
out by the presence OF the Lexington Or
chestra, one of the leading musical organ
ization in the county.
The first number on the programme
was an overture by the orchestra, Silver
Bells" followed by an Grafton by Horace
G.. Bolton, every Man His Own Monu-
ment." Horace Bottoms is
rearing amid brilliant surroundings, and,
to judge from last evenings entertain
ment, he may yet shine among the foren-
sic lights of his age.
Miss Matte John, one of the sweetest
girls in town, read in a charming way an
essay, "Means of Advancement" and
showed that her means of advancement
had been taken advantage of.
"Then, Now and Hereafter" the subject
of Miss Lulu Alstadt's essay, was well
handled and the essay was delivered in
good style.
Cornelia Craig pictured somewhat of
Jennie Lind's character in her essay, "The
Rival Singer" which was quite we'll re-
ceived.
Nohhic liail dSkeu niIneT!' III HeT
essay, n answered her own question, as
her every tone and gesture pointed to the
highest womanhood.
Anna Worthington recited "Uncle
Podger Hangs a Picture" and received q
hearty burst of applause.
Florence Becker's essay, "Modern
Beaux and Bellies" was cleverly written
and well read.
A recitation by Mary Green, "Ths
Maiden Martyr" formed u pleasing mum.
Der of a pleasing programme, as did thai
by Mabel Bywater, "Katrina's Visit t.
New York"
The valedictory OF the class was deliv.
cred by ANNA ireland, upon whose should
ers the mantle worthily fell.
The presentation OF diplomas to tn,
nineteen graduates made a fitting close O
two evenings of delightful entertainment
Interspersed through this programm,
were the shepherds drill, May pole dance

orchestra.

on the same loan, to build a high school
and colored school, which was carried.
"In June, 1890, the building of our mag
nificent High school was commenced, and
completed March l, 1891, provided with
all modern improvements and convent
ences, and stands now as a monument to
a progressive people, and the best school
house in the state. Last year the school
house for colored children was completed,
and finished in modern style, and no bet
ter building can be found anywhere.
Lexington can and Ices take rank with
many cities of the same size in the United
States in the matter OF good buildings for
school purposes, and as fast as the increase
in population demands it, new buildings
are added or old ones enlarged"

Soap

1t is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm! 1t leaves the
skin soft like a baby's no
alkali in it, nothing but soap.
The harm is done by al
kali. Still more harm is done
by not washing. So, bad
soap is better than none.
What is bad soape Imper-
fectly made; the fat and al
kali not well balanced or not
combined.
What is good soap?
Pears.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

1t used to be special sessions OF the
lodge that formed the excus for the lords
downtown trip every night, but a colored
man ran into poetry a day or two ago, at
Smith & Bottoms, Inc gave the whole
thing away. Will Zeiler has asked for a
copy OF the poem to paste in his hat against
a possible contingency, and "Buck' Boil,
ton can repeat 1t forward and backward.
"Good-bye, honsyl

OP FINE.

A new time card went into effect on the
Santa Fe Sunday, making some changes
in the time of arrival and departure of
trains at North Lexington. The most
serious change, and one that will not be
to the advantage of this city, is the taking
off of the train that arrived from Chicago
at 5:15 p. N. Trains now arrive and de-
part as follows:
From the east, 7:2O a. M; from the east
and west, II 40 a. H., and from Richmond
at $3.50 p. M. Returning the trains leave
North Lexington for eastern and western
connections at 1875 a. m; Richmond at
II AS a. m, and for Kansas City, st. Joseph
and the east at 3:35 D.. m.

Miss Bessie Huston's essay "About Lit

the clear, bell-like tones OF her voice re-
