cellent job of work. It will take
sometime to complete the house and
the contractor will not make a guess
as to when this will be done as he is
having hard time to get suitable
men on the job and is having to plod
along with the most of the work him
self. This home will cost Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcmillan in the neighborhood
of $1,000 when completed and will
be house to be proud of indeed.

LEXINGTON PEOPLE
ARE ON THE MOVE
Much Improvement Is Noted BY Our
Reporter In the Little City
As Spring Advances
Items of Interest,

The little city of Lexington is mov-
ing to the front, and as Spring advan-
ces great many evidences of sub
stantial growth of the place are bud
ding forth. A representative of this
paper spent day there the past
week and made note of some of the
| things going on, and also imbibed
some of the spirit Of optimism that
seems to pervade the entire COM
munity. While it is true that some
few days Of cold, drying winds have
/ made the surface of the country
round about take on the appearance
of early summer, and frosty nights
have somewhat retarded the growth
of vegetation, the change has arriv-
ed in these conditions and now trees
shrubbery, gardens andwheat fields
are alike putting on their proper ap-
pearance and coming forth in grand
style. Lexington is showing a gener-
al prosperous condition and her peo-
pie are all looking forward to one of
the best seasons in their history, and
she has had some mighty good ones
in the more recent years.

Fine Residence in Course Of Con-
struction.

Perhaps the chief item of building
improvement to be noted at Lexing-
ton just now, is the construction of
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. JohL
F. Mcmillan. This new home occu-
pies lot in the east end of town and
is prominently situated. Ten large
and conveniently arranged rooms in a
two-story house with full basement
constitutes the main portion of this
residence and there will be a fine
sleeping porch on the upper story,
also sewing room, bath and toilet ana
a full complement of closets and
, built-in china closets and kitchen
and dining room conveniences.~ The
entire building will be heated frorl
the basement with a furnace while
no modern convenience will be over
looked. All floors are to be Of hard
wood and the building is to be finish
ed in plaster throughout. Large and
roomy porches will also adorn the
exterior and the cottage will be one
of the very finest in Morrow county.

Roads Are Still Being Stirred Up.

ROADS are Still Being Stirred Up.
The county road crew is at work
in and around Lexington and some of
the roads are being stirred up in a
scandalous manner. Just what idea
possesses the road crews to go at this
work at this time is not altogether
clear and unless heavy rains come to
settle the work done, the people who
have to travel these thoroughfares
will wallow in dust to their necks
from now until late fall, and the far
mers having to get over the roads
with their heavy grain hauling will
have one sweet time of it. Had the
work been undertaken couple of
months ago these roads would now
be in excellent shape.
