DESIRABLE WINTER HOME

Lexington is becoming more and
more desirable winter home, and
this fact is being appreciated
especially by persons having chill
dren to educate. The advantages
offered by the Virginia Military
Institute and Washington and
Lee University are of very super
ior kind and number of families
spend the winter here in order to
be near Their sons while pursuing
their academic or professional
course. The public schools of
Lexington are also responsible for
the presence of some county fam
lilies who live here during the
school session, that they may give
their children the benefit of the
town schools. They not only enjoy
longer term but the teaching
facilities are far superior to the
ordinary county school.
Socially, Lexington offers many
advantages. 1t has always been a
college town and naturally con-
