Several Streets of Lexington Have
Names Changed

AT the meeting of the Town Coun
Gil last Thursday night action was
taken whereby the names OF sew, raj
streets of Lexington were char ped
and one restored 10 it's original
name. These changes were made
upon recommendation of a committee
composed OF Mayor Shields and DIR.
w. LeConte Stevens.
DIR. Stevens submitted a detailed
written report, the opening para
graph of which says:
In accordance with autbor;tv
conferred by this Council early in
July the services of Mr.. John A.
Champe, Jr., were secured to pre-
pare, under our direction, a new
map OF Lexington, in which it is
sought to represent all develop.

last map, in 1891, by Mr.. John Car.
michael. The work is well in pro
gress. but it cannot be finished IN.
TIL after the completion of cbanpes
now going on at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute, and certain other
changes which may possibly be
made in the town of Lexington. The
delay will probably not exceed a
mouth or two"
DR.. Stevens then calls attention ~
The fact that in one instance two diff.
ierentnames are applied TO the same
street, while in another instance
one name is applied to two separate
streets. He, therefore, made the
following recommendations:
That the names of Lewis Street
and Preston Place be Withdrawn
and the name Preston Street he
given to the entire highway; that
the name Lewis Street be substitut
ed for Letcher Street for tue high
way along the ca, tern margin of the
'own; that Lee Avenue be given TO
hat part of Jackson Avenue ex.
from Gen. Ships resi-.
ience 10 Lee Memorial church.; thai
ackson Avenue be retained for thai
'art extending from The Pines
onthward; that Smith Avenue be
II carded and Brooke Street be ,
u INSTITUTED, in honor OF Col. Brooke
whose home it leads; that Fuller :
venue be changed to Fuller Street. q
hat the lane between the Presbvte
ian manse and Mrs. Vests home
g given Colonial Road; that the +
me leading past Beechenb-ook /
hapel be named Beechenbrook 2

The recommendations were all ,
unanimously adopted by the Coun- +
4.
DIR. Stevens also recommended :,

The material is very nice. Does
it require trimming?-Ruth M
Trimmings are so fashionable
that it would not be amiss to use
a simple little braiding. Inasmuch
as silk null is soft, l would adj
wise you to make it, not too
plainly. Use stirring or gather
ing. A surplus waist would be
pretty if that style suits you. A
square, low neck or a high, net
neck will be equally suitable. A
becoming dress is more to be de-
sired than close following of
style.

Dear sir:-During the season of 1911
this Office did considerable work in
VeStlgatlng conditions and methods
employed in the harvesting and handl-
ing OF the rice crop. In this work we
secured about one thousand SAMPLES
which are now being examined and
analyzed in order to determine the ef-
feet OF various conditions.
Continuing this line of investigation
Mr.. F. B. Wise, of this office, made
two trips through the rice belt OF
Texas and Louisiana, during the
months Of March and April, securing
samples of rice used in seeding the
1872 crop. All Of these samples were
secured on the farm, the majority of
them being taken out Of the seeder.
The following tabulation gives
summary of the most important fac
tors taken into consideration in the
examination Of these samples.
