EMIGRATION.

From her creation, down to the
present time, woman's work and
influence have been most potent
factors IN the history of the world.
She not only leaves her impress on the
domestic circle, the church and the
state, but schemes of be%nevolence and
philanthrophy find in her an efficient
and faithful supporter.
Ages have passed since the procla-
nation, al will make an help-meet
for him. but its words still linger IN
the ears of every true woman, and
hand in hand with her brother, man,
she labors for the advancement of the
race, her country and the interests of
her home.
What wonder, then, that sthe
Flauehters Of Isxington, proud or their
b6a1tlf6I, hf6tori6 Oily. ard ambitious
lz9f ~ futars prosperity, should join
ers, and have espoused its cause with
an enthusiasm and zeal characteristic
of her sex. May it not be, that with
their shoulders pressed to the wheel,
that ponderous vehicle, Public Enter
prise, will receive such an impetus
that ere long, mid the din and clangor
of the workmen's tools, there shall be
seen slowly rising over the waters o
the s'Big Muddy" a structure which
may Justly claim the pride of every
Lexingtonian.
The building of a bridge! Nothing
heI ole nor great in that, say you; but
who can estimate It's benefits to this
generation and others to follow. The
quickened pulse of business life, the
possibilities of future enterprise, will
attract thither a stream of emigration
which hitherto has passed by US tt
swell the population and multiply thu
industries of other states. Rich q.
Lexington is, in her mineral
her widespread farms, and her educa
tional institutions, if she is to keel
pace, even with her younger sisters
there must be incorporated within he
borders German thrift, the inventive
skill and energy OF the East, and thu
aggressiveness OF the West. With sucl
an infusion of new life, and the incom
ing of new enterprises, Lexington will
be no laggard in the progressive marcl
which is the order and spirit of tn
day in which we live.
May heave speed the day when
with the poet, we may not onl
s.Stand on the bridge at midnight, jus
as the clock strikes the hour" but ii
the hush of a dewy morn, or the glar
of prosaic midday, may we stan
thereon and behold not old Lexington
but a new Lexington, basklng in tn
sunlight of an undying prosperity.

station, with its din and hustle. AS

shrill voice Of the news boys greeted
my ears and one little urchin ran
against me, shouting ssHere's your Daily

well-appointed waiting-room, with Its
groups of people. These were increased
when the Wabash drew in by a merry
picnic party bound-as l learned from
their conversation-for one of the
suburban parks. As my carriage drove
slowly from the station, a ringing cheer
from an incoming train, drew my atten-
ton, and as the Boonville Air Line
pulled by, I saw the flying colors of a
base ball team. As we climbed the

tracks, freight cars loaded with coal,
stone and sand for transportation by

huge chimneys of factories in active

We have often longed to sit in the
editorial chair for a week and express
our views, in plain terms, of those
things we like, and those we do not.
But as we sit here today, all the horri-
BILE things we ever heard concerning
the fate of editors come to US, and we
are seized with a great fear and tremb-
ling. Starvation, suits for Islander, and
black eyes, stare us in the face. The
chair begins to feel uncomfortable, and
we have a great impulse to run away
and leave the Office to take care of
itself, when a happy thought strikes Us,
and we settle ourselves very compla-
Gently again. It is this:
We will only have one week in
which to s~tarve; that a suit will not
materially injure it and when next
week the "enraged citizen" bounds up

THE ss19n CLUB.n

THE "18" CLUB"
Early in the fall OF 1882, the married
ladies', a. we'll as the charming young
ladies' OF Lexington, formed b they
were pleased to call the Fancy Work
clue, the leading characteristic Of which
was sociabiIity. They met twice . month,
and Q lee Of 10 cents was imposed upon
each one who failed to bring her work,
and In this the treasury was
rapidly filed. The amount thus raised
was used to defray the expenses OF an an.
nuaI reception, the ladies vieing with
each other In the unique manner OF en-
tertaining.
Alter the lapse Of many years some OF
the ladies' grew toe "old" to work, some
married, some left for parts unknown,
until for awhile the club seemed to be Q
thing Of the past. Then Mrs. John L.
Burden called q meeting of the Fancy
Work club, which was then merged into
the ''19' club, the great social feature OF
the city.
The r~eorganized club 10 composed
wholly of married ladies, representatives
OF the cultured society for winch Lexing-
ton 10 famed. Each meeting has been G
rare entertainment, delightful 10 its
element prevailing the. programme to
make the pleasure perfect. II the club
gives the same amount OF pleasure in the
future as In the past, II will have drawn
more wisely the bonds OF friendship,
Wbiled away many hours otherwise

fulfilled. MRS. JOSEPH B. SILVER.
