industry slip away from it and

This may sound like "knock-,
ing" but you will all recognize
the painful truth of it. We are
letting opportunity after oppor-
tunity pass us by just because
we do not get together and pull
for the town. We are not broad
enough and haven't the public
pride that it requires to build up
towns.

Enoch Grehan, the versatile
paragrapher of the Lexington
Herald, springs this one on the
patient public.
"That Philadelphia woman who
\ is reported to be talking herself
to DEATH has at last hit upon the
most agreeable way to perform a
disagreeable task"
II Enoch was not already a
much married man we would in
vite him to West Liberty. If he
could listen to the cooling of our
pretty girls for awhile it would
cure him of his cynical attitude
toward woman. 1t only requires
a few weeks stay in this town
to cause a man love all feminine
creation.
Nowhere on earth is there as
many pretty girls to the square
inch as in this town; and such a
variety of ages, too. From thir-
teen to-but there are some
things not tellable-but we'll say
. |
from thirteen up to just the age
, to get married, and let it go at
that. However, a fellow who
never sees feminine beauty save
that of Lexington could not be
expected to have a sunny dispo-
sition.
