There is no man in Lafayette county
better qualified to take charge of a COM
pany of young men than DIR. Jake Fulker-

trial school has long been needed in Lex
ington, and we think it will prove help
full to many. Miss Sallie Chambers is
leading In the moVe. and is we'll suited
for this enterprise. The building east OF
the Reid property, on Main street, is un-
dergoing repairs, and will soon be ready
for occupancy. Our ladies will give en-
co~uragement, interest and help TO this
new enterprise.
Two boat loads of lumber went down the
river Monday, bound for Jefferson City.
They were sighted by Commodore Boul-
ware, who quickly overloaded them and
made them give a satisfactory account of
themselves. The commodore is anxious
to distinguish himself. and is sadly dis
appointed at not having a hand Ia that
affair at Manila. He thinks Dewey Is a
"warm article" but thinks that with an
equal opportunity he Cthe c~ommodore)
could demonstrate to the world that there
are others of the same temperature. Con-
sidering the poor Workmanship dis
played by the Spaniards, we have no doubt
but the commodore could take the
old ferry boat, mount a few 6-pound guns
on her deck, and sink or capture a first
Glass Spanish ba~ttleship.
