This grouping OF the mighty spirits
who marched in the vanguard Of the
worlds progressive movements is the
inspired statement that progress
moves wholly along the line of
personality.
And it must be understood that
upon personality we can no more lay
our hand than upon any other vital
principle.
We see its manifestations clearly
enough but we never see it.
1t is primary and is therefore un-
resolvable.
1t is vital and therefore is not

The apostle introduces us into this
great society that we may find our
place, our work and our inspiration.
For to move in the pathway of the
mighty toilers, catching their spirit
and becoming co-workers with them
is to get correct perspective Of life;
it is to be greatly encouraged and
divinely inspired for the work Of
coming years.
We are enrolled as members OF this
great brotherhood of faith, whose
lives have been the inspiration Of the
past and whose titanic labors have
made possible the progress of the

The evident effort Of the apostle is
to inspire the Hebrew Christians by
emphasizing their relationships.
The method is not new TO US for
the appeal to great endeayorS on

Central Female College Crowned With New Honors


CENTRAL COLLEGE ART RECEPTION.
1t was decidedly disappointment
to many of the friends OF Central
College that the afternoon of Sat-
urday, May 81, was inclement. The
: Lexington people are cultured
folk, and like all the cultured
aristocracy rarely miss an opportunity
of showing their appreciation of what
is excellent. They have learned from
their experience also that they can
miss none Of Central College fetes
and events without loss, especially
when Miss Brown has announced one
of her art exhibitions and receptions.
There is no doubt that those who
braved the storm on last Saturday
felt amply repaid. Expressions of
interest and appreciation were on
every hand. And well might those
who attended be greatly pleased. The
exhibition in all its arrangements and
details showed the skillful hand Of
the accomplished artist by whose
kindness the reception was given,
and the carefully trained students
under her instruction The only
regret was that Miss Browns S modesty
prevented her own creations from
appearing. But sufficient credit is
reflected upon Miss Brown when we
Nconsider the fact that all Of her
pupils owe to her their whole training.
The four walls of the studio were
covered with art creations of every
variety--pen and ink drawings, oil
painting, water colors, pastel, crayon,
charcoal, sepia, all evidencing the fact
that the art department Of Central
college, under its present manage
ent, is up to date and progressive.
1t is impossible to mention all that
was really worthy OF mention-we
should have to take in every one Of
the superior productions. In oil we
may mention some fruit studies, from
still life, by Misses Margaret Bates,
Jessie Ault and Myrtle Allen, and also
roses by Miss Lulu Seargent; in water
color marine view by Miss Mayme
Hall, and roses by Misses Kerr and
Myrtle Dougherty; in pastel yellow
roses by Miss Mayme Hall. In sepia,
we have to praise the work of Misses
Z Allen, Ault and Kerr; in crayon the
copies of Misses Flora Mcclure, Rachel
Hunter and Kerr, whose studies of a
horses head and an Indian attracted
conspicuous attention. In charcoal,
a storm scene by Miss Myrtle Dough-
erty, and deer by Miss Frances
Warren; in typography, the tabourets
of Misses Norman, Kerr, Deal and
Margaret Bates; and in china painting
the work of Miss Allen. We cannot
fail to mention the crayon representa-
tions by Misses Allen aud Bates Of the
nude statue Of Diana which stands at
the entrance Uf the studio.
The art department Of Central
College is fully on par with the
other departments OF the Institutions;
and in our opinion, no other praise is
needed. We must, however, thank
Miss Brown and her pupils for
drawing us, at least for a short space,
out Of the work-a-day world Of care
and business into the realm of the
beautiful and the true.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1902-06-07

At theclose Of the programme Presi-
dent Williams invited the audience to
visit the art gallery, and nearly every
one accepted the invitation. The
gallery had been thrown open to the
public during the afternoon, but the
rain had kept many away. A pleasant
hour was spent in the gallery, and all
were well repaid for their visit.

appearance of being new. Many lawns
have been kept in fine condition this

There has been considerable talk
recently about the adyisability Of con-
.ucting a County Fair here this fall.
We believe that the project Is good
one and should be pushed to sue
cessfull termination. Big things are
not done in day. however, and II the
gentlemen who are back of this propo-
sition. wish TO accomplish anything
they should commence operations at
once. Ohicers OF the Fair association
should be elected or the officers Of the
Gentlemen's Driving association
could act.
The Record stands ready and will
ing to do its part in this matter and
If the proper spirit is shown there is
no reason why Canon City shouldn't t
have ss good county fair n any that
are held throughout the eastern states.
Exhibits Of various kinds can be
made and good horse races can b. ar
ranged. One of the events for one Of
the days attractions could be n
matched race between Puritan and
Russie Clay Some outside horses
might also be- brought to the fair.
An exhibit Of live stock would show
the public what kind of breeds are
raised in this county.
4 Eastern people who come to Canon
City wonder what has become of the
Fruit Days. Most eastern people have
heard Of the Fruit Days held Mt Canon
City long before they ever came here.
This shows that it advertised the city
and was good thing for the com
>munity.
The county fair can b. given and
no great amount Of expense need be
incurred by any individual person. If
every one will do his share towards
booming and contributing in this
matter.

WILL GET GOOD
GOVERNMENT JOB

The Denver Times of last evening
is authority for the statement that
Henry Brady, melter of the United
States mint at Denver, has resigned,
and that the name of Jos. W. Milsom
of Canon City, has been sent in as
Mr.. Brady's successor.
Mr.. Nilsson has never been an ap-
plicant for the place and all he has
known about the matter is that about
ten days ago he was asked over the
phone by Denver gentleman. if he
would accept such a place if it came
to him. He said he probably would.
The place is good one, paying
about 5000 a year and the job is
probably lasting one, Mr.. Brady
having hid it six years.
Mr.. Milsom has thousands of friends
in this county who will rejoice at his
good fortune, and it will be gratiti-
cation to the entire Republican party
of this section to have Mr.. Milsom
thus honored.
Few men have been so prominently
Unidentified with the Republican party
as Mr.. Milosm. For years he was
district clerk in Custer county Then
he was deputy county clerk in this
county four years and county clerk
six. In 1895 and 1900, he was the
Republican nominee for secretary of
state of Colorado, and each year led
the average of the ticket. These are
the only times Mr.. Nilsson was ever
