front. Lexington is the best situated
of all the courthouse towns in the
State to 20 forward. Let us make ev-
erythine 80 attractive to the home
seeker that those who want to moVe
will move this way. I J the course OF
eyents-and we venture the assertion
that it will not be long-many Colum-
bians will be living in Lexington and
conducting their business. In Colum-
bia. Twelve. miles over good road
count for little to the business who
owns an automobile. Already Oolum-
bia is referring to Lexington as one OF
it's suburbs. With free bridges in the
near future, linking Lexington and
Columbia closer together by the ties
of friendship, Lexington, the picture
esque village that she is, cannot but
grow and blossom as the rose. Work
for Lexington and watch her grow!
