Everyone interested in the public
library movement should attend the sup
per to be given next Friday evening in
the rooms of the Commercial college, for
the benefit of this enterprise. This is an
important matter, and every citizen of
Lexington should give it their encourage
ment and support. The supper will be
given under the auspices of the Univer-
sity Extension club, which is sufficient
guarantee that everything will de done to
make 1t an enjoyable and successful
affair. Be sure to attend and assist in a
good cause.
Here is what the Sedalia Sentinel says:
How to raise $4,000 to build a bridge
across the Missouri river, is a puzzle to
the people of Lexington. II that river
had the capital and some live town
tie q string around it to pull it
away, they would scheme enough to win
success. Under no other sort of circum-
stances could Jefferson City have raised
funds to build a ~calaboose, much less a
splendid bridge and a handsome court
house. Outside influences are frequently
the most powerful promoters OF local
enterprise.
One of the very enjoyable events of this
week was a card party given by Miss
Maud Burden, Tuesday evening. The
Misses Marmaduke and Miss Dyer were
the guests of honor. Progressive high
1--we was the game for the evening, there
being six tables. Misses Sadee McClel-
land and Bessie Huston and Mr.. Frank
Hays cut for the prize. Mr.. Hays was the
fortunate one. The dining room was very
prettily decorated for the OCCASION, and
elaborate refreshments were served. The
youug people have learned to expect an
unusually pleasant tim when entertained
Miss Burden, and they were not dis
appointed Tuesday evening.
