The following suggestions. we be-

moral and commercial will-being Of
our town--and county: Our people
ought 10 resolve to regularly at
tend services in the respective
churches Of their choice--and If
they have no choice it is well to re-
member that any church beats no
church and loafing on the streets.
Our people should stand solidly
in support Of the school, both in
sentiment and action. The school
or educational interest in any
community ranks with its church
or spiritual interest--in fact, they
60. or should 60. hand in hand.
Whiskey bootleegers and crap
shooting should be literally wiped
out--and that without mercy, for
the whiskey seller has no mercy in
his damnable occupation. The boot
leeeer is like the German-until he
Is caught he Is brazen. defiant and
merciless. Let the law Get him in
its clutches and he becomes a
crineine. pleading liar. The boot
leeeer and crap shooter should be ex-
terminated in any community by
removal to the penitentiary. as such
vermin on the body polite deserve.
Our business men should use
every effort to build up the trade
and extend the trade limits Of the
town-and above all they should
remember that TRADE makes q
town and PRICES make trade.
With energy. and proeressiveness
Lexington can reach out and get
trade for many miles beyond the
present trade limits. Our dealers
should procure bargains and adver-
tise them-for people will 90 where
they can profit by trading Some

own business we are also pleading
