Settled.

The case of the Academy boys has
been compromised, a plea Of guilty Of
disturbing the peace having been
entered for half the number charged
and the rest dismissed. The result
was brought about by an insistent
public sentiment. Let it be said
once for all that the schools are dear
to the people Of Lexington-all the
schools to practically all the people,
and everybody in the community will
heartily approve the action Of Colonel
Sellers and Prosecuting Attorney
Blackwell in coming to a settlement
without a fight, which could have
done nobody any good. Let's talk
about something else.
