subscription to Lexington Ice
Company Cancelled


EDITOR GAZETTE AS l original
( cd the recent movement to form
! company to manufacture ice il
Lexington have thought it would
be proper to give, with yourskinc
permission, some explanation tc
the public why the company de-
termined to cancel the subscrip-
tons and withdraw from the field.
AS Mr.. w. r. Humphris of
East Lexington, possessed the only
facilities near Lexington for the
harvesting of natural ice on a COM
mercial scale, it was deemed ad-
Visable to have him in the COM
pany, or buy his plant, so that he
wodld be eliminated as competi-
ter; furthermore, on account OF
the confidence the whole commune
ty had in Mr.. Humphris's business
ability and honesty, it was de-
sirable that he should be occurred
as manager for the company. So,
before any subscriptions were oh
tanned, | had talks with ar.
Humphris which led me to believe
that, if satisfactory arrangements
could be effected for the purchaee
of his plant, he would not only
Subscribe to The capital stock Of
the company, but would take the
management of the company's
plant.
Sufficient stock was sold and |
the company was organized.
A committee from the Board of
Directors conferred with Mr..
Humphris, and it was only then
we learned that he had determined
to erect an ice-making plant of
his own. Then the committee re-
ported this fact to tho Board of
Directors, the board were UNANIMOUS
in the opinion that the whole field
should be surrendered to Mr.. {
dumphrIs, and it was 90 ordered.
am sure that / am correct in |
stating that the prime object OF {
very subscriber to the capital |
took of the company was to secure |
IN up-to-date ice making plant for {
lexington and not to make money, '
Though a good return On the 1
money invested could be confident
y expected. t
While We desired to have Mr.. |
Iumphris unidentified with us we /
would have gone ahead, even t
hough be should harvest natural v
&c; but when he determined to
ice, cur object was
ccomplished and we cheerfully i
ave away to him, knowing that a
e could be trusted not only to
leke good ice, but to sell it at d
rice that would be fair to him
elf and consumer alike. G
Respectfully,
A. d. EsTILL. Y

a March 6th.-MrS. Mary jan

l McCurdy Of thiO place, dice
Wednesday morning, February
; 2Sth, aged 70 years. Her death
followed a lingering illness from
complication Of diseases. She is
survived by her husband and four
sons and three daughters, Us fol-
lows: Messrs. John A., Villas

bridge Baths,Rnd Robert McCurdy
of MCPHERSON, Kansas; Mrs. AN.
Bell Of Goshen, Mrs. W. B.Hutton
and Mrs. O. E. Snider of Lsxing-
ton.
The funeral services were held
az Bethesda Presbyterian church
Thursday morning at IL O'Clock,
conducted by the Rev. Henry
Miller, her pastor.
Mrs. McCurdy was before
marriage a Miss Supinger of Rock
bridge. She was a woman of rare
Christian character, and will be
sadly missed from among US.
We are glad to note that Mrs.
Flora Miller, who recently returned
from q hospital in Baltimore,
seems to be fully restored to health,
Mrs. Andrew Whitmore and
Mr.. Henry Swisher CT the Jump |
neighborhood, are still very i'll.
We were much surprised at the
statement of the Baths correspon-
dent in the County News OF March
l, ia which he says that $I45 were
for the working of
the road from the Iroh bridge
across North River to Mrs.Davis's
gate and from the Odd Fellows
Hall 10 Gospel Hill, distance Of
oue and one-half nile7. Now il
Mr.. X. \. L. would look into the
matter for him self and not depend
100 much on his "Rood authority {
ne will fiLd that but $40 WAS ap-
by she road board for
lie said road, and besides that he !
will find the road to be ut least %
niles instead OF one and half
miles. The board allows $50 for
he road from the Iron bridge to !
)avis's gate and $40 from Odd Fell c
ows He'll to Gospel Hill, making a
otal for the entire rOnd of $40, !
which is S105 less than X. Y. rs

While ne have no ak to grind
