Letter.

Some fifteen years ago, ON my
first visit to Lexington. ! was
impressed with the solid, stable,
substantial evidences of peo-
rle possessing faith in the future
Of their city. No ostontations,
architectural display in buildings,
Sturdy buildings of the early
pioneer we're a predominant fea-
ture. Nothing ornate. Home
buildings were plain to de-
gree possessing no esthetic at
tractiveness. Practical need
and comfort of interior arrange
ment the consideration. There
are a few of those old time build
ings still left. Remodeling and
Reconstruction has destroyed
much that my reminiscent
thought would have preserved. I
revere the old, the old home
building of my ancestors is en-
shrined. | admire the new, but
hold sacred in cherished thought
the old. Much thought has been
given of late years to perpetual
ing the cold Santa Fe Trail,
an illustration. Historical ira
ditiOns and prominent land
marks should be preserved. An
ever-present inspiration. l ad-
mire the new Lexington. Pro
gression to the ideal of city beau
tiful is evident. To specify
particularly would be super
fluous. The projected park will
exemplify. A dream, no;
JOY, yes; grand, certainly; whyY
A tribute to Him who made the
grasses and the herbs and said
it was GOOD. Substatial fl
nancial and commercial institu.
tons bespeak a contented, pros.
Porous people.
Up-to-date stocks of merchap-
disc are attractive features. Civic
pride! No wonder. Churches,
educational institutions, news
papers, public schools, attractive
county and municipal buildings
and the custom house. The post
cffice is a beauty. The Off
cils are efficient. A pleasing
personal experience demands
commendatory mention. A let

An Early Shopping Tragedy.

from the New York Sun.
J he chorus sang, "ShOp early p
twas the chorus of acclaim
That seeks TO rescue Christmas
from shocking shopping
shame.
From every side we heard it, and
we read it in the press;
The billboards also Haunted it.
- twas everywhere, l guess.
Mss Alice Amarantha Ann De
Blusterburg began
December first to get immersed
in the early shopping plan,
She came down town at eight
o'clock within her limousine,
And in her purse she carried rolls
of long and lovely green.
From eight to six she shOpped
and shopped, but didn't buy
not yet,
Because she didn't know for sure
exactly what to get
For Agnes, Al2bella, Adriana and
the rest;
SO home she had her chauffer
drive, exclaiming, "What a
pestl"
Miss Alice Amarantha Ann came
down again next day.
From shop to shop she shopped
and shopped in quite the self
same way.
As yet she couldn't quite decide
Just what to get for Tad,
For Tim, for Tom, and home she
hied, at shopping shocking
mad.
Thus every day Miss A. A. A. and
so forth shopped and shopped;
And every day the worn out girls
behind their counters dropped;
And every eve, till Christmas eve,
she kept OF shopping early
(But never buying anything), till
she was crazy, nearly.
On Christmas eve she came at
noon, she had to have a rest;
She rushed about from shop to
shop in fierce and frantic quest
But everything she wanted had
been purchased by the others
Who had to act as Santa Claus
for parents, sisters, brothers.
Miss Alice Amarantha Ann De
Blusterburg was so
Fatigued with early shopping
that she could no longer go
From shop to shop; she had to
drop upon a rest room bed
And swoon-oh, shamel - but
when she carne unto herself,
she said;
For twenty days I've early
shopped as hard as ] could do
1T,
10 help these shopworn shopgirls
out; I've simply buckled to it;
And now that I've decided what
! really want to buy,
These horrid shops have nothing
leftl Oh. my! Oh, me- Oh,
myl"

HIGGINsVIL.LE HIGH
SCHOOL ADVANCED
But Not Ahead of Lexington AS
Stated by Mr.. shippey.

Stated by Mr.. Shippey.
The HiggiEsviIle Jeffersonian
under date of December 5th gave
notice of the advancement of the
Higginsyille High School from
the second to the first class, by
w. P. Evans, state superintend-
ent, and then made tho statement
that this placed the Higginsyille
school ahead of amy other school
in the county Mr.. Little, super
intendent of the Lexington
schools wrote Mr.. Shippey cor
recting this error, but Mr.. Ship
pey, it appears was hard to con-
vince and the following cores
pondence takes place:
Prof. Burtis M. Little, supt of
schools in Lexington, writes the
Jeff that our statement that Hig
ginsville high school ranks ahead
of any other in the county is
incorrect, as Lexington high al
50 is a first class school and has
been for seven years.
Lexington high has been a first
class school for several years, but
we are informed that it has not
yet been approved this year, and
that the state board Of
education, instead of approving
it promptly on the Inspector s
report, as it did IN the case of
Higginsville, has taken the mat
ter under advisem ent, and wall
announce its decision in January.
'Ehe requirements for a first class
high school are more rigid than
formerly"

Dear Mr.. Little:
1t was reported to us that
J our school had not yet been ae-
credited this year. 1t was re-
ported to me by two persons that
Superintendent Hawley had said
we were now ahead of any other
school in the county, but he in
forms me he said any other
school in the county on the @.
4 A., and may be ahead of any
other in the county" +" referring
TO the report that your school
has not been approved yet this
year, and might possibly not be.
There was no in1eation on our
part to overstate the facts. / re-
gret to say, in our paper this
week, in a part of the paper al
ready printed before / got your
letter, the statement of last week
was repeated. We viii give
your letter publicity ON the first
page, however.

ALLEGE PERJURY
TO GET 4 WIFE

Thomas Byers has been placed in
the county jail to await disposition
Sof his case on a charge of perjury.
and he was arraigned before Police
Judge Miller this afternoon and will
be given time to consult an attorney.
According to the determinations he lis
charged with having testified before
County Judge Hanson when asking
for a marriage license to the effect
that Bertha M. Parmelters was is
years of age Feb. rs, 1913. andgthat in
addition to that he had the consent
of her parents.
Tits alleged by Elmer M. Parmenter,
father Of the Young girl, that she is
only Is years of age. The application
for the marriage license was made
April III, 1913, and they were united in
marriage after receiving the license.
To all of this the parents of the young
wife have offered most strenuous OBJ
jections, with the result that the war
rant was issued by Judge Miller and
Deputy Sheriff Bingham served the
warrant and arrested the defendant,
Byers, who has the appearance of be-
ing about % years.
AS he could not give bail in the sum
of $1,000 asked by the court, he was
sent to the county Jail to await fur
ther action and he will likely have
hearing.
