The stock of Mr.. James Hughes, OF Rich
mond, in the Lexington Ferry company
was purchased by members of the ferry
company in thIs city this week. The
ferry is now owned by Lafayette county
people, nearly all of them merchants of
this city. and they will reduce the rates
of fersiage for the people of Ray county
who trade here. A good move, and one
that we hope will result in drawing con-
trade from our neighbors across
the river.
The streets OF Lexington presented a
lively appearance Tuesday evening. 1t
was the date of the weekly band concert,
and in addition to this a patent medicine
man, accompanied by two or three musi-
clans, entertained the crowd until the
concert commenced. 1t ooked like every
body in town had turned put. The court
house yard was hlled, and the pavements
and streets were thronged with people on
foot and in vehicles. Everybody seemed
to be in the best of humor and enjoying
themselves to the fullest extent. 1t could
not have been otherwise under the in6u-
ence Of the inspiring strains OF music
rendered by the band. The concert pro-
gram consisted of q dozen we'll chosen
numbers, which were executed in a
manner highly satisfactory to all present.
BY ~sTecial request the band played "a
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" and
then the audience was not satisfied until
it was played over again. These concerts
are a source of great enjoyment to the
of Lexington, and are ooked for
ward to from n week to another with
keen interest.
