Small Favor Gratefully Received.

There is considerable talk of exten-
sive improvements in 1.-The park" this
spring. and we hope that they may be-
come realty. We doubt if there is
any funds available to the city with
which to do this work, but it seems
that sufficient could be raised by pri-
vate subscription to make the place a
little more presentable In the event
however that nothing is ATTEMPTED upon
a large scale, we would suggest that
the fence be Strengthened up, the
benches repaired and placed in the
park. where they belong and the 'cIty
pump" appearance which the place has
worn for the past few years be some
what improved. The trees have been
trimmed, grass sown on the bare spots
and covered with brush, and now
stringent measures should be adopted
toward the dogs, and also the loafers
who roll around on the grass to it's ut
ter determination, tear up the benches
and make themselves a bowling nuis-
ance to the entire community.

The Millinery Openings.

Last Saturday was the annual Milli-
merry Opening day for Lancaster milli-
ners, and there is perhaps no event
which attracts more pretty women to
the streets than this occasion. Last
Saturday, due doubtless to the pretty
weather. surpassed any previous event,
and the streets were fairly thronged
with ladies'.
Mrs. Kinnaird, Miss Rella Arnold
and Mr.. R. S. Brown were compelled
to add materially to their regular force
in order to accommodate the throngs
which visited their various places, and
we are informed that the sales for
opening day far surpassed any previous
opening days. If the exstatic rhapso-
dies of the fair sex may be taken as
evidence, and surely they are the judges,
the display of feminine headgear offer
ed for their inspection, eclipses any
thing in the millinery line ever offered
in Lancaster, and was fully equal to
the displays in adjoining towns.
Surely with all this display of hats ir
our local stores, it will not become
necessary for any Lancaster or Garrarc
county lady to go away from home tc
secure her Easter bonnet. A few
of the attractions which usually accom-
pany these openings, such as the giving
away of flowers, music etc, was cu
out this year, and we are informed tha
the cost of these Things will be giver
to the customers in the way of values
In fact. every possible inducement il
being offered to the ladies to buy thei
millinery at home, and with the splen
: did assortment at their disposal from
which to select, and the assistance o
expert milliners direct from the large
markets. we do not see but what tn
most fastidious could be pleased in tn
local stores.

School Trustees Have Splendid 0ppOr.
tunity To Attend The Meeting Of
The K. E. A. In Louisville In
April.

The Garrard county Board of Educa-
ton has decided to defray the railroad
fare of such trustees of the various
schools of the county as may desire to
attend the m Getting of the Kentucky
Educational Association, which meets
in Louisville on April %, 29 and 30th.
At first glance this appears to be a
useless expenditure of the school funds,
but it has been thoroughly demonstrate
ed that the more interest created among
the trustees, the more good accrues to
the schools, and nothing could create
more interest among them than to
bring them in close touch with the
various educational gathering through
out the state. Therefore every trustee
in the county who can possibly do SC
should attend this gathering, the ad
ditional expense will amount to very
little, and the benefit derived from the
visit will be well worth the expend'
] ture of both the time and. money IN
vested.

Farmers Busy.

At odd times farmers are getting in
their work, in some localities oats have
been sown, the plowing is being COM
pleted. tobacco beds burned and sOwn
and gardens planted. Wheat, rye and
grass are all looking extremely well,
and live stock which has gone through
the winter on ''roughness" will soon be
luxuriating in good grass. The fact
that winter continued to such a late
date, leads to the belief that the pros
poets for killing frosts are vague, and
the rapidly budding fruit may blossom
out without the fear of being winter
killed"
Farmers are taking bright view of
the prospect for the year, and good
crops and prosperous times are freely
predicted.

The Stray Pen.

The stray pen underneath the water
tower is now complete and ready for
occupancy, and if you do not wish
your stock to become a visitor to the
hostelry, you had better keep them off
the street. Chief Heron announces
that he will respond promptly to all
complaints about stock running at
large and will promptly impound the
offenders. In addition to this he has
added several colored boys to his staff
who will receive part of the impound-
ing fees for all stray stock which they
bring in. This sounds good to those
who each year endeavor to have neat
lawns and flowers, and who have their
efforts frought to naught by the inroads
of straying stock.

Rich Sees En- All.

Vernon Richardson, who in addition
to being Secretary to Senator Ollie
James, is one of the brightest news
paper men in Washington, and who is
a part owner and joint editor of the
Danville Advocate, never fails to make
mention of Kentuckians who visit the
Capitol. 1t is just about as hard for a
Kentuckian to get in and out Of Wash
ington without the fact being ascer-
tanned and mentioned by Rich. as it is
for anyone of any prominence from out
in the state to ''get by Harry Glow
anolli in Lexington. In his notes to
the Advocate Mr.. Richardson recently
had the following mention of two prom
inent Lancaster gentlemen who have
been in Washington
Hon. Joe E, Robinson, the brilliant
young attorney, orator and editor Of
Lancaster, has been in Washington the
past few days taking in the sights,
which he enjoyed very much. There
has been much said about Mr.. Robinson
entering race for Congress in the Eighth
District by his friends in the past sew
eral months and the writer asked hin
if he intended to enter this time and he
stated that he did not.
Judge Lewis L. Walker, of Lancas
ter, has been enjoying short visit t.
the Capital. He paid his respects t.
both of Kentucky's Senators whil'
here. Judge Walker has always beel
great admirer of Kentucky's Senio
Senator. He read law in his Office a

DanvilIe's Shame.

Danville is still without hotel accom-
modations, and according to the local
papers, there is scant prospect of a
remedy in the near future. The Mes
senger says travelling men are giving
Danville black eye to the public over
the matter. Indeed they are, and none
can do so more effectually. 1t appears
to US that with as many wealthy people
as tn cir are in Danville and Boyle
county, that there surely should be
found some who would loosen up their
purse strings to erect hotel in their
town. Danville is larger and much
more pretentious town than Lancaster
and yet Lancaster people built hotel
and one that is the pride of the towr
and county. Better get busy neigh
