The Photographic World, published in
New York City, in a recent issue, paid a
handsome and well-merited compliment
to Miss Aileen Rothrock, of this city, who
is declared to be one of the best short
hand writers in the west. The World
says that Miss Rothrock is capable OF
writing 250 words per minute, which it
considers to be a phenomenal record for
any one to make.
1t has been suggested that some OF the
police force, who were engaged in the
work of catching the burglars, should
have been armed with gatling guns. Nit.
The shot gun destroyed $50 worth OF
property, and that was more than a bur-
glar would have gotten in cash, if he had
entered every store in Lexington. No
telling what would have been the outcome
with a gatling gun.
The "holiday season" is almost here,
and the Lexington merchants have their
stocks OF holiday goods opened and are
doing a land office business. Read the
advertisements In the INTELLIGENCER for
official Information on the subject of "hoI-
iday presents" The man who advertises
is not ashamed OF his ''wares' and pro-
gressive buyers always investigate them.
The men who are selling the cheapest and
best goods are those who make no secret
of the matter. The merchants who do the
largest business can afford to and do sell
on a smaller profit, and the merchants
who advertise do the largest business.
You save money by trading with the
advertiser.
On Thanksgiving morn a merry crowd
arrived at the spacious home of Miss
Major, near Lexington, to participate In
the gayeties of a hous party. After a
cordial welcome from the hostess, they
repaired to the dining room, where an
elaborate spread was served. Much mer-
riment was derived between courses from
a unique literary topsy-turvy programme.
The prize was captured by Miss Lizzie
ShotwelI. Skating, hunting and other
amusements were INDUCED in, and it was
with regret that on Monday morning the
young people babe their charming hostess
adieu. The guests were: Misses Lizzie
Shotwell, Lucy ~Spurlock, Kate Wright,
Maggie Mcclure, Edna Taylor, and
Messrs. Oscar Brown, B. e. Shotwell, Jas.
Hill, j. NJ. Marshall, N. NJ. Shotwell, of
Richmond; Miss Adah Major, of Hanni-
bal; Miss Susie Shotwell, of Lexington,
and Messrs. Minter and Toylor, of Kansas
City. -
Governor Stone acted very wisely in
appointing Charles Greasy, OF Odessa, as
a member of the board of managers for
the Nevada asylum. Hon. Us. Grosshart
hnnnraA tho Onnnfu oa a rnau1har of thu
board. He was elected &c the position of
steward of the institution and resigned
his position on the board. Greasy, who
fills the vacancy is a young man of fine
business and executive ability, and his
services as a emil of the managing
board will be valuable to the institution
and creditable to himself and his county.
Lafayette had no better man for such
honorable recognition than Mr.. Greasy,
and the INTELLIGENCER congratulates
the governor upon the wisdom of his
selection Chas. r. Greasy is one of the
younger generation whom the democrats
of Lafayette have "booked" to go to the
front, and he Will go to the front, too.
He is genuine material; of that kind that
men are made OF.
