Can't find rent,
Can't secure a good house girl,
Can't sell their farms,

Can't do hundred things because

Err. 1t is really wonderful how much

IN MEMORY OF CLAUDE REDD.

Whereas, God in His all-wise provi-
dence has seen fit to enter into our
Sunday School, and take from time to
eternity our beloved Claude; and
whereas. we will miss his presence,
as a scholar, and pupil always ready
to take his part. And we feel that in
his death the Lexington Baptist Sun
dav School has sustained an irrepar-
able loss. Therefore, be it resolved,
1st. That this school pay tribute to
his memory, whose form is no longer
seen. but the influence Of whose life
we trust will inspire in our Christian
endeayor.
2ud, That we bow in. humble sub
mission to the will of our Father, who
has removed him to the great school
above.
3Td. That a page in our minutes
he inscribed to his memory.
4th. That copy Of these resolu-
ton be transmitted to the bereaved
family, and the Lexington Dispatch
for publication.
Adopted by the school.

CIRCULATION 1885,

The Dispatch is receiving 80 many
communications Oh the question Of
prohibition and dispensary that it is
impossible to print them all. We
want to be absolutely fair to all our
correspondents, but many of the artl-
cles are so lengthy that, with our
crowded columns, it is doubtful if we
will be able to publish them all before
the election. In discussing this ques-
ton we beg that every one be as brief
as possible. We have no linotype
machines, and there is always a
certain amount of news matter that we
are obliged to carry.
