FRIDAY. APRIL 10, 1909.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
at its meeting last week did a most
commendahle action by granting the
petition signed by 276 citizens and
property owners asking that in the fn-
ture cement or granolithic sidewalks
be built. The owners of property
abutting the streets have the option Of
putting down a plank sidewalk or pay
ing the cost of such towards cement
walk, the municipality to pay the
difference in the price. As matter
of course all will want the granolith
walks, being SO much mcIo lasting and
durable The petition set forth that
the walks in certain places were so de-
fective that number of people had
sustained falls, and unless better walks
were provided the city would be liable
to damage suits that would be far more
expensive than good sidewalks. The
people of Lexington are almost unit
in favoring this timely and much
needed improvement While it may
take several years before the last plank
walk will be superseded by granolith,
a start has been made and gradually
increasing progress will be made with
each successive year.

Nearly overhead, these nights, about
8 o'clock, is the planet Jupiter, the
largest of the solar system. About
this planet revolves eight moons.
None of these moons can be seen with
the naked eye, and three cannot be
seen with the largest telescopes in the
world The question naturally arises,
how is it known, then, that they ex.
ist? You have probably seen In the
Bible the phrase, the evidence of
things not Seem" which is given as a
definition of faith. Here is an illus.
tration of it. The evidence of the ex-
lstence of these moons is little speck
on piece of paper One cannot see
the moons, but be can see the effect of
them. The sensitive plate catches an
impression that is impossible to the
eye. Thsre are those three moons over
AGO. 600, 900 miles away. We cannot see
them. They never were seen. The
only evidence we have of them is an
almost invisible speck on piece of
paper That is the evidence of things
not seen.

OF course the outcome of the next
cotton harvest is beyond the bounds of
reasonable estimate or plausible guess,
but of one thing we may feel we'll as.
sured. and that is, the acreage will be
fully up to the last five years average !;
the cultivation will be as thorough as
weather conditions will admit of, fer
tilizing will be as general in the light
lands as usual, and there is a decided
Improvement in plowteam and imple-
lnents, while the labor supply is ample,
contented and generally satisfactory.
Now, these are the conditions con-
trolled by man; the outcome will
largely depend upon the caprices of the
elements. One of the most satisfactory
signs of the times is the grim determi.
nation everywhere manifest to make
abundant food crops for man and beast.
If this endeavor is favored by Provi-
dence. we will have glorious time
next fall. regardless of the price OF
cotton. Aberdeen Examiner,

reason why we should not take similar
measures against the house fly. The
significance of the fly was not realized
until few years ago. We knew him
to be nuisance, but we did not sus.
pect him of being night rider. He
has not added any to his popularity by
waking US up in the morning several
good half hours before the alarm clock
proclaimed the dawn of day. We are
glad that this villain has been shown
up in his true culors. The fv is nat
urally greater menace to mankind
than the stegomyIa infernalis. He is
a steady worker throughout the dav
and he is at home in any cline The
fly lives on filth for the most part and
typhoid is filth disease. The good
housekeeper should therefore do every
thing she can to banish the fly from
the house. If he is effectively screened
out the chances Of the family for be.
ing healthy will be greatly increased.
