To honor our dead IS the only con-
ISOLATION left to the living, and to fur
Their this end costly monuments and
skillful artists are necessary. A firm
that has q wide reputation for this
class Of work is A. Sandring and Jacob
Fegert, who bought out, two years ago,
the marble yards established by John
Goehner, w thirty years since. A
practical sculptor, having had twelve
years experience, Mr.. Sandring is an
artist of more than ordinary skill, both
in designing and executing, as may be
seen by an examination of many sam
pies Of his work at the firms yards,
corner or Franklin avenue and Ninth
streets. Particularly noticeable is an
elegant and massive sarcophagus,
weighing $4,000 pounds, modelled after
the style of Henry the First, designed
to be placed in Machpelah cemetery,
in honor of those who died in the
cause of the C~onfederacy at the battle
Of Lexington. This firm supplies
nearly all the cemetery work for the
counties of Ray, Lafayette, Saline and
johnson, two men being on the road
soliciting orders, while a force of six
workmen is kept at the yards. As the

Our public schools are second to
none in the state. The valuation of
our city school property is about sixty
thousand dollars. Tho buildings are
arranged, ventilated and heated IN
modern style. Our central building,
especially, is q model, hardly capable
of being improved On for beauty,
health, comfort and security of the
children. The Board of Education is
composed of good, substantial men,
who are always willing to devote their
time and energies to the advancement
Of learning. A more able, energetic
and industrious corps of teachers can
not be found anywhere; every N is
either q college or High school gradu-
ate; besides keeping up their profess
sional studies, they have secured either
a state or q first grade certificate. The
various divisions Of BUR schools arc
carefully graded and arranged. In fact
every department of culture is in a
condition that defies criticism. The
moral, mental and physical culture Of
the children have been provided for
with the highest and most vigilant care.
The High school, from which the first
class graduated in 1873, is among the
oldest in the state; 1t ~articulates with
the State University, which admits our
graduates without further examination.
Our present graduating class, which is
composed of twenty bright young men
and women, shows what is being done
at present in the way of High school
work. The attainments of our scholars
are we'll up with those of the best
schools In the country. A few years
ago one of our pupils, going directly
from here to the st. Louis law school,
not only made the highest grade of his
class, but next to the highest ever
made in said institution. Our alumni
are, as a general thing, successful in
their avocatiOns, of which our city feels
justly proud. The first reunion of the
old graduates will take place at the end
Of this years session, and promises to
be q brilliant affair. About three years
ago q High school library was organ
lied; it now contains some seven hun
dred volumes of reference and miscel-
laneous books, which are proving to be
q great benefit to our students; at the
present rate of increase our library will
IN a few years be among the best in
the state. Take it all in all, our public
schools are in such u condition that
Lexington feels justly proud of their
success and achievements.

e. q. LOOMS.

The intelligence Of a community is
clearly indicated by the efforts put
forth by the dealers in books, papers,
art supplies, etc. Judging by this
standard, Lexington clearly proves
herself a center of learning, and the
elegant store in Haerle's bleck, that has
+. G. LOOMS as its proprietor, is an
exponent of the culture for which this
city has so long been distinguished.
Mr.. LOOMS, prior to engaging in his
present business, which he started
some ten years ago, was for q long
time prominent in telegraphic circles,
having been stationed at Moberly,
Lexington and Carrollton. The prem

store is one of the most commOdiOus IN
the city, being s511O0 feet in extent.

paper in the city, the attention of
housekeepers is invited to an examine
ton of the many and varied designs
that are superior in quality and lower

ton or poetry, monthly. magazines,

to the latest dictates of fashion.
Bicycles of standard manufacture, in
the newest designs, are also in stock,
that in price run from $4O.O 90 upwards,
and are sold on almost ones own

of this art store receive the most cour-
teous treatment that, united to a stock
of unusual dimensions, makes this
place popular with all and N ornament

Nowhere do we find a store more

under the charge of j. p. Hausam, a
registered pharmacist, who, since 1879,
has been connected with this store,
under different owners, and is held in
favorable repute by all our citizens.
This store is of unusual size, and a

the defendants. The verdict was d sur
prise Those who have followed the trial
closely were of the opinion that either a
mistrial or an acquittal would be the out

of direct evidence against the defendants,
and the disconnected character of the
Cirrums tantial evidence against them. It
is the general opinion that the defendants
committed the murders, and public opin-
ion will support the verdict despite the
