CORN

Trading In Corn has been on a heavy
scale and this is expected to continue, as
conditions surrounding the market are
the most interesting and satisfactory
from bull standpoint since we began
to deal with the 1904 crop The heavy
receipts have been absorbed by the mar
ket With no Accommodations in stocks.
Indications are that with the advance
In freight rates on the nrs1 OF the
month and the activity on the farms,
that the western movement Of Corn is
over Other legitimate influences are
The reaction from soc for May, July
and September Corn In Ch1cag go has
undoubtedly improved the position OF
the market a great deal. and should We
run into period OF light offerings and
other evidences Of shortages in supplies
there would be an opportunity for 4
sharp up-turn in prices that the bulls
would not overlook The big interests
back OF the market may be depended
upon to at least increase their lines on
weak places. and If careful survey Of
the entire situation IS taken there will
be found enough Of strength attached
to the market that could be. and we
think eventually will be. developed to
maintain prices at higher levels. Some
authorities look for SIS q 60c Corn dur

Government Weather Report for the
Week Ending Monday, Sept. I8.

The mean temperature for the week
was from three to four degrees above
normal. Moderate to heavy showers
occurred over the greater portion Of
State on the llth and 18th, which
was followed by fair weather.
Although the rain the first of the
week was injurious to cotton in some
localities, the weather was generally
favorable for farm work. Very little
change is noted in the condition of
cotton: complaints Of rust, shedding
and premature opening are diminish
ing, but worms continue to do con-
siderable damage, especially in the
delta counties; bolIs are opening rap
idly south and on uplands north, but
slowly on lowlands over much Of the
northern portion Of the State; pick
ing is now general in all sections, and
is quite well advanced south. where
the yield is somewhat lighter than an
ticipated.

household furnishings for the new
Rectory just completed, and in the
building of which the interchangeable
workers of the Guild were largely in
strumental was the object of the en-
tertainment, The unanimity of in

very productive of good results in all
their plans, and the heap of coins to
the amount of more than twenty-five
dollars was substantial evidence of
the success of the Silver Tea.

Meeting of the Board of Trustees.

A Meeting of the Board of Trustees
for the Lexington Graded School,
was held Sept. l5, 1905, and as this
was the first meeting since the re-
firing Of three members of the old
Board, by limitation, and upon their
own application, and as Messrs. w.
X. Burden, W. W. Wilburn and S. @.
Stigler had been appointed to fill the
vacancies on the Board, organization
was first effected by the election of
W. X. burden as president and the
reelection of parham Williams as
secretary Of the Board. The object
of the meeting being for the purpose
of arranging the rates of tuition, and
for the collection of same, it was
agreed and 50 ordered, after taking
into consideration the number of pu-
pills in attendance at the pay term
that for the |, 2, 3 and 4 grades, 81
per school month would be assessed
and for the 5, 6, Z and s grades So
per month and for the 8 and 10
grades $4 per month. As Mr.. r. E.
Wilburn had kindly consented to re-
ceive and receipt for all tuition ten
dered him at the Bank Of Lexington
it was therefore ordered that all pat
rons be requested to pay into his
hands amounts assessed for their chill
dren and for the purpose, only, of
securing prompt payment. All sub
scriptions are expected to be received
not later than five days after the ex-
piration Of the school month, or that
the children be expected % discontin-
ue until amount of tuition is paid.
While the Board did not expect that
there would be any delinquents yet it
was the sense of the entire Board
that the above understanding would
be fair to all unless mitigating cir
cumstances should be shown why
such dues could not be paid.
PARHAM WILLIAMS,
Secretary of the Board.
