The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1895-05-25
COMMENCEMENT EDITIONS.

The INTELLIGENCER has promised
the citizens of Lexington and Lafayette
county that it would always keep up
with the procession, and that it would
not be allowed to be a drawback to the
town and county. This paper is will
ing to be converted into n metropolitan
daily whenever it becomes known that
such an institution is needed and will
be supported. We intend to give Lex
ington from week to week and from
month to month just as good a news
paper as she will support. In our
efforts to do this in the past We have
been greatly encouraged and wonder
fully blessed by the cooperation of the
citizenship of the city and county.
The INTELLIGENCER was the first to
champion the cause of the merchants
and laboring men against the iniquitous
rule of a demagogue, whose influence
closed our mines and threw hundreds
out of employment.
The INTELLIGENCER has taken under
its observation Lexington's colleges,
and has ut no time tired in telling the
world of their merits.
The INTELLIGENCER did not enter a
half hearted fight for the bridge, but
went into that matter with its sleeves
up, and its editor sitting up nights dis
covering matter for new editorials.
The INTELIIGENCER was the first
and only paper in Lexington up to a
week ago hat demanded that cleo
tricity be turned on in full power, so
that our citizens might say whether
they would use gas or electricity.
And thus it is-the INTEILIGENCER
is always found in front in all enter
prises, and ave- awake to the best
interests of our great institutions.
The lNTELLIGENCER has another deal
on hand. 1t is going to tell the people
all about Commencement season in
Lexington. 1t is going to do this on n
large scale.
Next week there are four schools to
close here-Elizabeth Anll Seminary,
Baptist College, Wentworth Academy
and our High School. The INTELLI-
GENCER will have four reporters at
work all week, and will give a full
report of everything that occurs.
The week following Central college
will close, and its commencement exer-
cises will be handled by two reporters.
On next Saturday the INTELLIGENCER
will print five thousand papers, and on
the Saturday following 1t will publish
and distribute six thousand copies.
Estimating that each copy will be
read BY five persons. on June LIST 25,-
900 people will read all about our
educational institutions, and on the
Saturday following $4,000 people will
be taken by the INTELLIGENCER through
the history and commencement season
at Central.
While this paper is not going to lose
. dollar in this enterprise, it does not
expect to make one. No extra charge
will be made to our regular advertisers.
Our only request is that they will have
the copy for their advertisements in by
Monday Of each week.
1t is safe to say that at least $1,000
different persons will read of u
schools in this paper. Those to whom
these papers will 60 are persons who
are interested in such institutions, and
who have sons or daughters to educate.
II the INrELLIGENCER can be the
instrument through which the interests
of our educational institutions can be
advanced, it will be fully repaid for the
time, money and labor it spends in
attempting to advance these interests.
