one of the ablest ministers we have in the

careful thought. All ara invited to hear
him.
The prospects are that we will have a
very small yield OF wheat in this county
and it is doubtful IL the small amount
yielded will be of good quality. The crop
has been terribly blighted aud the farmer

We are glad to note that Mr.. N. Haerle
has sufficiently recovered from his long
illness to be able to walk around and
enjoy the pleasures of the open air once
more. He came down Town Wednesday
for the first time in many months and
was warmly welcomed by his many
friends.
The News In speaking of the trials OF a
postmaster says: "Many persons have no
idea what they go to the postofice for. As
a sample we imply mention that a young
lilo called at the postofice the other
day and wanted a dimes worth OF onion
sets. He didn't get them, but was told
they were for sale at Myrick."
We are glad to note that Mrs. Thos.
Young is recovering from the severe spell
of sick ness she has suffered from for some
time, and is reported to be out OF all dan
ger. MIR. and Mrs. Young have only
recently moved to this place from Odessa,
but during the short time they have been
with us, have made a great many friends,
who have been much grieved by her
illness, and will be glad to know of her
improvement.
Constable Charlton, of wellington,
assisted by Mr.. Dickerson, arrested a
man at the bridge near the depot in
this city Tuesday evening. He was
charged with stealing some clothing from
the store of II. E. Duebbert, at Yelling
ton, for which he will have to answer in
Judge Jno. A. Lockhart's court in that
city. Mr.. Charlton is a wide-a-wake
official, and when he goes after a man he
generally lands him in the holdover.
Master Leroy Slusher, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. W. Slusher, entertained a large
number of his young friends last Satur-
day afternoon at his home near this city.
1t was the occasion of the young mans
fourteenth birthday, and q party of about
seventy-five young people assembled to
help him celebrate the event.. Games
were INDUCED In, nice r~efreshmentt were
served and everyone present had a jolly
good time.
The bicycle is In high favor in Lexing-
ton. This is evidenced by the great
number of wheels seen gliding over our
streets every day. There is quite an army
of bicyclists in this city. and when a large
number of them get together for n spin
they present an imposing appearance.
The deyotees of this exhilirating sport
include men, women and children, of all
ages and sizes. Bicycling seems to possess
a fascination that is Irresistible, and the
fellow without a bicycle is hardly in 1t
any more. The wheels ridden here are OF
the best make, and their owners are as
proud of them as they would be of the
finest Kentucky thoroughbred. When
two or more bicycle enthusiasts meet,
the conversation that follows on the
merits of their respective wheels would
make the eyes of the average horse dealer
bulge out like knot on a log. The bicycle
is a great Institution, and is here to stay.
Our city officials can earn the praise of
all good citizens of Lexington by the
suppression of the negro loafers who
infest the streets of our city. They are a
downright nuisance. We admit that the
negro population have as much right on
our streets as anyone else, but they have
no right to abuse this privilege and mon
opolize the whole pavement. They make
a business OF congregating on certain
street corners, where they remain for
hours at a time, rendering themselves
offensive in various ways. In many in
stances it Is almost impossible for ladies
to pass along the streets, by reason OF the
walk being obstructed by a gang of u
mouthed negro ~loafers. We believe this
nuisance could be remedied il proper
measures were taken by those in author
ity. The extreme license allowed this
class of hoodlums is the cause of q great
deal of just complaint and adverse criti-
cism by our citizens.
Mr.. Washington Cooper, of near Dover,
was a visitor to our city Thursday. Mr..
Cooper is one of the Oldest residents of
Lafayette county, having lived here more
than half a century. He has been in poor
health for some time, but we are glad to
say he is improving. In speaking of the
prospects for a wheat crop, he said he had
never seen SO poor an outlook for that
grain in this county since he first came
here, fifty-six years ago, and he was salts
fed hat the yield would amount to
almost nothing as compared to the usual
yield here. This will be a great misfor-
tune for our farmers, who are unable to
sell their corn for anything like a fair
price, and who have looked to the rise in
the price of wheat to enable them to tide
over these hard times. The failure of this
crop will make 1t extremely difficult for
them to meet expenses, and while some
have sufficient means to carry them
through, many less fortunate will be very
hard pressed.
Quite a number of invited guests en-
ioyed q very pleasant evening at the home
of Mrs. w. K Trigg. on Franklin avenue,
last Saturday evening. The program was
q recital by Mrs. Trigg's music pupils,
and consisted OF instrumental and vocal
selections. The pupils displayed a degree
