Der 1st While Mr.. Basin has dispos-
ed of his entire stock and some of the
stock of others. yet there is more stock
still held by local citizens which may
be turned over at the same figure if
they desire. By buying the Basin in
terest it gives the new owners complete

with the office, Mr. Holbert Basin will
assist him for few weeks. Mr.. Cornn
informs US that quite number of i'm
provements will be done over the entire
system, the open wire will be abandon
ed and cable will be used instead.
This will be one step towards better
service and source of qualification to
the public.

sident, came here from Grab Orchard,
in the year 1899, and purchased the ex-
change from DIR. ]. b. Kinnaird, which
at that time had only sixty patrons. AT

business, Mr.. Basin announces that

The necessity for a revival of the
Curfew ordinance, which has been on
the statute books in Lexington for a
number of years. but which has peen
permitted to lspse into innocuous

ton of the City Commissioners at their

A great many had lodged complaints
with the Juvenile Court as well as with
Superintendent M. A. Cassidy, of the
Lexington city schools about their
children running about on the streets
at night, which had tendency to i'm
pair their morals and detract from
their efficiency at school.

The tricks played on our friends We
call
Exuberance of youth
But when unto our lot they fall.
That's different, forsooth,
No one likes fun and to witness the
''exuberance of youth" more than we
do, but wanton obstruction is another
thing. The taking off of gates. lead
ing into corn fields and other fields, the
use Of paint, tearing down of signs and
other things unprintable and too
numerous to print should not be
tolerated by the officers. Offenders
should he found out and punished.
Some iron gates, seats and swings
have been carried off and the owners
are unable to find them or to learn their
whereabouts. Parents, ask your
children if they have any knowledge of
these affairs and if they have, see to il
that another halloween night is observ-
ed and these things returned before
the matter is furher investigated.
