This society printed in pamphlet form
the advantages and superiority of that
section of the country, and scattered
the pamphlets broadcast over the
country The result was that thou
sands of good farmers came and settled
there. The Board of Trade proposes
to do something of the kind for Lex
ington. We are going 20 get up n
pamphlet full of Lexington. We are
going to cast these to the four winds.
We are going to put them on the trains
going out Of Lexington for the vast
moving population of the country TO
read. We will tell them of I.exington's
coal fields, her water privileges, her
naturally commanding geographical
position, her healthfulness, and all
about her. We are going TO try to
get some manufacturers interested in
us. We are going to make pull for
better railroad facilities. OF course
this has all been tried before; of course
we will meet men who will give Us no
encouragement but that don't make
any difference. We are going to try
now what an ORGANIZED effort can do.

HOW TO KILL TOWN.

ic" w Mill n iONN.
First: Don't talk about il. When
you do say anything, say you are sorry
you live there
:. Don't invest your money there.
Rake and scrape together every cent
you can, and invest the same in boom
property of some other town; live with
the people, make your money out of
their troubles and their necessities aud
then send away from home for every
thing you need
5. Abuse every body who tries to
help. Tell people that he is helping
others through purely selfish motives.
Abuse the merchants because they
make profit on their goods. Ii any
man has an idea concerning the adj
vancemcnt of the town, tell hiai he is
fool.
1. Tell strangers that ever, thing in
your town is overdone--thats somebody
Is going to get hurt soon. Tell them
that the business houses and profess
sional Offices are full of robbers and
thieves.
3. Don't advertise; get yourself a
neat little rubber stamp and stamp on
the letter paper you use the name OF
the great bargain-giving house you re-
present. Buy your goods from drum
mers representing houses out of the
state; they of course sell better goods.

A MISSOURI TRAGEDY.

Charles r. Moore Shot and Killed ON the
Fsrrv Boat at JeffersOn City by Charles
II. Harlan.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Feb. 2s.-The
most deplorable tragedy that ever oc-
CURED in this section of the state was
enacted yesterday afternoon on the
ferry boat plying between this city and
Galloway county. Hon Charles II.
Harlan and Mr.. Charles +. Moore, two
of the most prominent and highly re-
spected citizens of Galloway, became
involved in a quarrel, and Harlan shot
and killed Moore The facts of the
case are hard to obtain.
Eye-witnesses on the boat state that
Moore came aboard about 4:S0 o'clock
from Cedar City. He told Capt Kay
that Harlan was following, and that
he expected trouble. Harlan arrived
few minutes afterward, and Moore, on
the advice of the captain, went up into
the cabin to avoid him, but was fol-
lowed by Harlan. A war of words en-
sued and Moore left the cabin
and returned to the lower deck,
picking up = piece of cord wood
As he passed the engine room.
Harlan again followed him and
the quarrel was renewed. The crew
Of the boat again interfered, but Har-
Ian insisted that he would not desist
until Moore dropped the stick of wood.
A moment later he drew his revolver
and fired the fatal shot. Moore stag
gered up the companionway to the
cabin and sank on the floor in u dying
condition He lived about twenty min
utes after the shooting.
Moore's body was brought to this city
where he is residing temporarily. He
is wealthy. retired farmer, and man
of high character Harlan has in the
past been one of the leading democratic
politicians of Galloway county. He
was elected representative in isss, and
in 1890 was candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for railroad commits

OUR SCHOOLS

We ought to he proud of our schools.
We are; hut we must not rest on our
oars now. We must not quit work in
Recommendation. Boom the
schools. Let's work for them. Men
of capital and influence come mere to
educate their children. Why not in
duce them to also invest their capital.
No other town in the state offers the
educational advantages that Lexington
offers-three female seminaries and
one military academy. The courses in
these schools afford a wide field for
self-culture. Patronize the schools lib
orally. Talk about them when you GO
away from home. Tell the people that
they are here and what they are here
for. The Board of Trade wants to be
something and do something for Lex
ington, and for Lexington schools.
But We want your help. Help us, and
through us help them.

MISSOURI CROP REPORT.

Conditions Favorable for y Fair Wheat
Crop-feaches Have Been Killed.
COLUMBIA, Mo, Feb. a1.-J. r. Riley,
secretary of the Missouri board of agri-
culture, in u report on the crop condi-
ton of the state, says: While the con-
ditions have not been the most favora-
BILE for seeding or termination. and the
protection afforded by snow has been
insufficient. yet the plant is in fairly
good condition. and under favora BILE
circumstances should make fair crop
of wheat
Reports of fruit prospects would indi-
cate that the apple and berry crop is in
fairly good condition. Practically all
the peaches are killed, except in the
southeast section, where there may be
half u crop.
Stock is reported in good, healthy
condition. wintering in fine shape. and
but few cases of contagious or infectious
diseases are reported.

Some time ago petition was circu-
lated in this county, asking the author
tiles of the Missouri Pacific railroad to
place another train on their BoOnyile
and Lexington branch Those who
had the matter in charge, received very
encouraging letters from the managers,
stating that their wishes, in all proba-
bility, would be complied with. The
matter stands with the people along
the road, rs well rs with the company,
as a business proposition. A person
living in the eastern part of the county,
in order to make n trip to Lexington,
on the train, is required TO set apart
for that short trip, the larger part #
two days. The train arrives here at
five o'clock, p. m, and leaves at seven
o'clock n. m, and thus it will be seen
that if in such case their business is
with public officer, it requires almost
three days to transact it. With q
morning and evening tram ont OF Lex
ington on tins road. many of our siti-
zcns, who do their trading IN Marshall.
or at other points, would come TO this
city, and many who come here IN wag-
ons, surreys, etc, IN order to evade n
long and perhaps disagreeable ride,
would come on the train The increase
of business would be largely in advance
hoped by the people of Lexington, as
we'll as the citizens in the eastern part
of the county, that the management of
this road will see fit to increase the
number of trains. A word to the wise
| is sufficient.
