Many homing pigeons are be-

from Baltimore and other north

a bunch the other morning, about

averaging about so miles an hour.
Another carnival is due Monday.
The aldermen agreed Thursday
night to let the show come. It
was at first voted down, but five
aldermen were not paying estrict
attention and the vote was cast
without their being aware of it.
So after the meeting, five of them
agreed to let the show come along.
It will be for the benefit of the
fremen.

the town and the acquisition of
this and that necessity, the peo-
pie of Lexington ought not to for
