T othe Editor.-Our enterprising
Elk druggist has hit upon a scheme
that / have always said | would try
to put into effect if / had business
in Lexington or any other town, and
we as farmers, ought to appreciate
the initiative step taken by Mr.. Law
Ter to provide for us some comforts
and conveniences when we come to
town--for it is a hard proposition to
go to town and nowhere on earth to
hitch horse or team, let alone a
place where they can be protected
from rain and cold in the winter, or
the burning sun of summer.
This may be piece of unthought-
edness on the part of our merchants
but if they will just try it few times
in the winter and hot dusty roads in
the summer and on every hand he is
confronted with sign posted on ev-
cry old tree post or stumy, Don't
Hitch Here" and not a store where he
can get a drink of water for himself
or his children. But must die of
thirst or patronize cold drink
stand where he can get at least
worth for a quarter, they will
see how it goes.
Yours Respectfully,
