poisonous Of all. this u not dimcult.
Notice first the dark green, much cut
and divided leaves and the peculiar
odor which botanists call fetid. But
perhaps the most obvious thing and
that which most easily distinguishes
the hemlock from all other umbellif-

CARD

We desire to make emphatic de-
nial of the report in circulation to
the effect that it Is our plan. in
case we are elected to the positions
of Mayor and Councilmen of the
Town of Lexington, to remove
from office the present force of
Town employees. Such report
is, on it's face, manifestly false,
since no body of discriminating
men would pledge themselves in ad-
vance with reference to the reten-
ton or discharge of any man or
set of men serving the public; it
being the plain duty of the Mayor
and Council in this cese, and in all
other cases, to consider each pro-
position on Its merits in the light
of all the facts presented at the
time action has to be taken.
If elected, we would not be EN-
barrassed, collectively or lndlvid'
ualIy, by any pledge or under
standing, expressed or implied to
support any man for any Town
office, or to remove any man from
such office. Any report to the con-
trary is unqualitiedly false.
No conference or consultation OF
any sort has been had between the
candidate for Mayor and any can
didate for the Town Council or
his ticket, nor has any eugges
ton of any kind been made as tt
any policy to be carried out. Thes'
matters are rightfully left to be de
term ined after the election.
