Sam Rogers, of Decaturville, was
here last Friday on his way home af-
ter spending some time at Camden.
Rev. C. H. Gillian passed through
Lexington Tuesday On his way to
Martin to attend the Memphis Confer
ence Summer School. He reported

Telephone Manager J. NJ. Phillips
was taken i'll last Saturday at his
home on Jackson street and kept from
business several days-and the tele-
phone girls say they do not get along
so well without the presence of their
good manager.
Sergeant D. Lynch, now on the
Memphis police force, who was "a
friend of our townsman, John B.
Scott, when he was in the "pen" at
Nashville, as an employee of the HOOP
er Administration, spent Tuesday af-
ternoon here as guest of Mr.. Scott
Friendships formed inside prison
walls, as we'll as elsewhere, frequent
ly last for life. Mr.. Lynch is a for
mer Camden man.
One of the biggest things to be
done in Lexington during this Sum-
mer is the construction of the Thread
gill Brothers lumber shed, the brick
for which is already on the ground.
The building will cover in length the
space between the Brown Bros
Montgomery alley and Huntingdon
street and in width will practically
fill the space between the Christian
church and the rear of the block in
which the postoffice is located. The
frame residence now occupied by
Frank Martin, fronting with the
Christian church, will be entirely re-
moved.
The Epworth League planned a

freshments prepared by the League
members for themselves and invited
guests proved to be simply delight
full. There were games and gener-
ally enjoyable time from Z till 8 p. M,
and all present left the Rose domicile
feeling that the rain had not deprived
them of any pleasure.
Youn uncle "Lige" E. A.l Adams,
who gives Wildersville the preference
over Lexington as place of resi-
dence was in town Monday and when
asked how the farm was getting along
replied, Fine, just out there in last
weekend having the wheat cut and
the grain is good" The truth of the
business is that Uncle Lige has SO
educated and graduated his son-in-
law in the art of successful farming
that the presence of the father-in-
law on the farm is more of formal
ity than a need,

In the Tulsa race riot last week the
casualties finally went down to about
twenty-five, mostly negroes. Local
authorities were criticized for not
having more successfully taken the
matter in hand-but all the same the
next bunch of negroes who attempt to
interfere with the law and take away
from officers another negro accused
of nameless crime, the bunch will
be and should be shot down by the Of

1t is pity that so many innocent ne
groes should be made to suffer for ac-
actions Of comparatively few who are
following the delusion of race equal
