Lexington next week, and that is that
everyone WHO buys q going railway
ticket for the trip should take q eertin-
cate of the fact from the agent who sells
it. The attendance is certain to greatly
exceed the required one hundred, and il

be entitled to a return rate of one-third
fare. Remember, also, that those who
do not take certificates cannot take ad.
vantage of the one-third return rate, no
matter how many may be in attendance.
