Richmond Conservation: We are getting
slightly anxious for Lexington TO raise thu
small balance necessary to secure q bridge
over the big muddy. 1t is something
badly needed, and will result In benefit IL
many ways both to Lexington and othsI
points. Richmond will come in for heI
share OF the benefits. The completion o.
the bridge insures direct communication
between Lexington and Richmond, and
will be the means Of placing our people or
more friendly relations, and In due tim,
we may confidently expect that capitalist
will put In an electric line between the two
cities. Such an enterprise would be hailes
with delight by the people OF both places
aud those who invest their money in such
an enterprise will reap good profits OF
their Investments. 1t may be . lew year
before an electric line 10 built, but 1t vii
surely be done In the near future.
