The boys have been praoticing hard
ever since the baud was organized and the
class OF music they are now able to render
is far superior to that usually heard. They
play a high grade of music and play it
well, and the musical treat which they
offer is one that Will not be missed by the
music-loving citizens OF Lexington.
The program which they have arranged
Is an excellent one. "Arline," a selection
from bohemian Girl" will be one of the
most enjoyable. 'Miserere," from "n
will be recognized by some
OF our citizens and appreciated by all.
The orchestra, which will take part in
the entertainment, is composed of fifteen
members.
The seats will be on sale next week and
we DO not think there will be any
difficulty in disposing OF the tickets.
The proceeds OF the entertainme will
be used to buy music, which we will hear
at the open air concerts next summer.

The editor of the Petersburg Qnd.)
News, a rampant republican organ,
has Become weary of prosperity. He
says in his last issue: .sDuring each
month Of the year we furnish our read
ers with republican prosperity supple
menls-no more such supplements will
be sent out with our paper. The sup
piements are a fraud, q dslusion and a
lie. We are ashamed of them, sick
aud sore at the idea of sending out
such Prosperity Supplements when
at the same time we are unable to COL
lect enough money to meet our bills,
after having made them"

Hugh-C. Wallace, president of the
Chilkoot Railroad and Transportation
company, has advlces of the compile
ton of the company's aerial railway
over the Chilkoot pass to Lake Under
man. This marks Q new era for Klon-
dixie travel, as the time between the
tide water and the headwaters of the
Yukon river Is shortened from q month
to one day, besides removing the peril
and h~ardships. The company made a
contract with the Canadian govern
ment at Is cents per pound for rams
porting all its freight for the mounted
police from Dyea to Lake Linderman.
We hope. Hugh will send US an annual

Tom Reed says: "What Is a states

Reed is the leader of the better element
of the republican party. This shows
what that party thinks OF statesman

heights OF grandeur in the characters
of Jefferson, Webster, Clay, and such
men as these. The chiet object of the
politician is SUCCESS. No depth Of

successful trickster is a greater man
than the unsuccessful humanitarian.
