The board of directors of the LeXing-
ton Bridge and Terminal Company

The members of the board are very en-
thusiastic in their belief that the bridge
will be built.
There is one thing sure: Ii we do not
bnild a bridge soon VT will be unable
TO .uIld it. II will be good business
sense, to give away one-half OF our prop
erty and thus increase the value OF the
other half. rather than hold on to all
we have and see it ,iepreclatc in value
till it becomes unstable at any price.

to do his whole duty in this matter.

4 Remedy against Flies.

81 never use window screens, " said a wise
housekeeper, the other day, because have
a fancy that they shut out all the air in hot
weather and besides, they serve to keep
the flies in the house equally well as on"
"But l never see a fly in your house," said
her friend. Chow do you manage it? For
my part l must confess that, screens or no
screens, my summer means to me one con-
tinuous battle with the little pests"
"My remedy is a simple one" said the
h~ousekeeper, "and I learned it years ago
from my grandmother, when used to sit
and watch her putting punches of lavender
flowers around to keep the flies away. My
method is simpler. l buy five cents worth
of oil of lavendar water at the drug store
and mix it with the same quantity of water.
[ then put it in a common glass atomizer
and spray it around the room wherever the
flies are apt to congregate, especially in the
dining room, where | sprinkle it plentiully
over the table linen. The odor is especial
" disagreeable to flies, and they will never
venture in its neighboroood, tho to most
people it has a peculiarly fresh and CRATE
