While we can hardly remember

Lexington, there is,said to be a reg
ular epidemic beyond control) of
thew in our Capitol City, Washington.
Formerly the biting, crawling flea
was a regular summer pest in this
section, but since the adoption of
stock laws the flea pests are almost
unknown here both in town and coun-
try-even under the rural churches
and school housese where they for
merly most abounded. In Washing
ton it is said that a single flea or
perhaps a score in bunch sit on the
foor, waiting for morning and the
steps of dainty feet-or any other
kind of feet-that is, in houses where
pet animals have not been banished
and the floors scrubbed with soap and
water and surfaced with gasoline.
We knew young man who was rear
ed in New Orleans and never saw or
felt flee in his life until he visited
Clifton, Tenn, where he was so be-
seiged by the pests that the young
man swore he would never visit the
town again.

The presence of the boil weevil in
Henderson county this season to the
extent which seriously menaces the
cotton crop and with that brings the
possibility that cotton growing may
become impossible, brings a thought
worth writing about--and that
thought was given additional force by
a talk with farmer last Saturday.
We suggested to him that the boil
weevil might enforce diversification
of crops which would prove profitable
to the farmers-and he replied, "Yes,
if we can get market for the other
products we will be forced to grow"
He said that Lexington must have a
market for farm products other than
corn and cotton and that il Lexington
did not furnish such market the
farmers would be forced to seek a
market elsewhere-and that is fact.
1t will be remembered that we had
with us Mr.. C. NJ. Watson, of Mem
phis, an expert, and that we started
an organization which proposed CO.
operation between the merchants of
Lexington and the farmers of the ad-
jacent country. That meeting was
full of promise and we were con-
strained to believe at the time that
the organization would not die with
the first meeting, as had been the
case in such former efforts-but alas,
there was no second meeting and the
organization died borning. Lexing-
ton has lost the railroad terminal ad-
vantages and we will have to do
something to make up for that loss
so, what are we going to do about it I?
Are we going 60 sit supinely down
and let our town drift back to being
"a wide place in the road" or shall
we git up and git and win for Lex
ington the place in the business world
it can win only by working for it?
A resident professional man told us
the other day that town could
be made to prosper by the local
papers boosting it. We are
willing to boost Just so far as the
truth can be used and we here and
