THE II BOAT.

Extract from Board OF Trade Journal
The ferry boat is, as 1t has been and
Is now being managed, a positive det-
riment to the town. 1t is a pleasing
fact that tire citizens of Ray county
prefer to come to Lexington, recognize
ing the superior advantages we offer 10
the way of trading and selling their
produce. We enjoyed splendid trade
from .'over the river" some years ago,
but it is being gradually driven away
by wilful manipulalions on the part of
Richmond stockholders (who control
the ferry boat and partly through our
own neglect to remedy existing circum-
stances. The pontoon enterprise vas
landable, but did not last. The in
crease in our trade while it did last
showed conclusively what could be
done. Why stop nowp What has
been done can be done again. More
people than ever before are living in
Kay county; they are all anxious anu
willing to ..come oyer" if u helping
hand is stretched out To them. Ii we
could through some means sccure a
safe and speedy passage for them at all
times and ut all seasons of the year,
the trade of Lexington would be
doubled ut once. That can he done
only by n bridge. A bridge ought to
be built. It ought to be bnilt soon,
But even if built soog, il will take
some time to finish such a stru :turc.
We can't afford to wait; we must do

something now and be ready for the
spring trade. While Richmond owns
the ferryboat, help is not to be expected
from that quarter. The situation re-
ouires heroic treatm ent. The ferry
boat charges from seventy-iive cents TO
81. so to cross the river. What poor
farmer is able to pay that every timer
What well-to-do farmer is willing to
submit TO such extortion, and undergo
the agony and suspense to cross the
river, when he can drive a few miles
farther to places where such is not
necessary? OF course we can't change
the course of the river, but we can
change the present management, re-
duce the fare, or abolish it altogether
for those wishing TO do their trading
with US. Come together, gentlemen,
and suggest some ideas. Attend the
next meeting of the Board of Trade
Attend every meeting. Only by united
effort can we be successful. Let us
agree, and that at once, upon some
plan to secure that to which we are
entitled.

MUST HAVE THEM.

Extract from Board of Trade Journal.l
That which should interest LexIng
ton people is Lexington. Situated as
1t is in one of the best counties in the
state, surrounded by the finest farming
land, populated with many men of
means, and with its fine colleges and
railroad facilities, Lexington should
not be allowed to run along in the old
ruts any longer Those who have in
terests here can i'll afford to let the
town come to a standstill.
With our colleges, which offer rare
inducements to parents to come here
to live and educate their children, our
city has an advantage owe many of
its class.
All Lexington needs is a little of the
''get up and GET that has made Chica-
60 the great city that it is. The i'm
agination of the most sanguine optimist
cannot picture for us a metropolitan
city, but we can and should have here
a live, wide-awake, progressive city of
$1,000 inhabitants. How can this be
accomplished First, let's put in a
fine system of electric lights. Surely
we are tired of the dingy old gas jets.
Lexington a own Its electric light
plant and light up the city properly at
a great deal less cost than it is now
providing an occasional gas light,
which is simply no light at all. Next,
we must have a city hall. The place
where our Lawmakers are meeting is a
disgrace to any town. That this is
true no n will doubt. Again, we
are going to have a first-class opera
house. There is here a generous pat
ronage for such, and in the course of
human events il is bound to come.
Just put your ear to tho track; you
will hear the echo. Furthermore, we
are going to have a better W sys-
tenn, become n city of the third class,
and when We get our electric lights we
win have an electric street car line.
These are not the visions of n roman
tic book dreamer, but they are facts
told in advance. Onr present condi-
ton is not so bad, but it must be bet
ter, and the people will be heard from
until it is.
There is too much money here that
is idle, and should be invested in some
enterprise. There is no town in the
country where such investments would
pay better, and none that could not
better do without the modern improve
ments.
Let's 60 to work and yreathe old
Lexington Il diadem that will be M in
dncement To all who are looking for |;
location 10 come and cast their lots in
a live, progressive, wide-awake city OF
the third class.

told her not to get up IL she felt badly.
After breakfast some OF the family went

pared for the summons, and when IL
came, without warning. it found her like
a shock of corn, fully ripe, ready to be
gathered into the heavenly garner.
