Ice cream, soda water and other summer

with his best gIrl calls for.

The first sermon of the proposed pro-
tracted meeting at the Methodist church
will be preached in that church tomorrow
night. Rev. j. j. Watts, of st. Joseph,
will conduct the meeting, and will be
assisted by Rev. A. r. Fairs. Rev. Mr..
| Watts is an able minister and an eloquent
speaker, and will doubles conduct q sue
cessful revival. The meeting is to extend
through several weeks. and is expected to
accomplish much good. 1t was to have
commenced last Sunday, but was post
poned on account of Mr.. Watts inability
to attend.
b Salvation army is holding meet
ings on the streets of our city every night,
and occasionally they throw in a day
meeting extra. About 1880 O'Clock every
evening they emerge from their hall and
march down the street to the place chosen
for that nights open air meeting, and
then proceed to offer salvation to all who
will come and receive. They rave made
quite a number of converts to the cause
of Christ since they came here, and some
of them are among those whom the
churches fail to reach. In this they are
doing a good work, and we hope that the
leaders will set the converts such an
example of Christian piety that they will
be persuaded to follow them and live for
the cause of salvation.
Last Sunday was a bright and glorious
spring day. The frequent rains of the
few days previous, coupled with the
warm sunshine, had wrought a wonderful
and sudden change in the face of nature
Lexington see ned like another town, sc
complete was the transformation. There
is not a prettier or more picturesque
town in the state OF Missouri than Lex
iugton, and right now she is looking her
best. Her well paved streets, beautifnl
lawns, fine old shade trees and handsome
residences make her a most delightful
place to live in. She possesses q charm
that is irresistible. 10 this respect she IL
only surpassed by her beautiful and
accomplished young ladies'. We feel thai
we cannot say too much in praise of the
beauty and grandeur of Did Lexington.
As ga thing of beauty is a Joy forever" so
is Lexington a continual source of delight
and enjoyment to all who reside within
her borders. There are few as good and
substantial towns as Lexington.
Lexington sometimes gets the name of
being an old fashioned, slow and unpro-
gressive town. This a great mistake.
1t is true she does not boast of periodical
"booms' or spurts, like some towns, only
to suffer a relapse, which renders their
condition worse than before. Lexing-
toms growth is not of b spasmodic
order; it is steady, gradual and substan-
tial. We venture to say that right now
there are more good, substantial inn
provements in progress in Lexington
than in many W that claim to be
more enterprising and up-to-date. There
