It is our intention to publish good five newspaper, devoted to the best in terests of Lex'ngton and Morrow coun ty, yet we do not intend to throw mud at any other town in this or neighbor -boring counties, neither do we propose to support any particular click or ring, but will use the influence of The Wbeatfield for the the upbuilding of Lexington and vicinity. We come among the people of Lex ington entire strangers, but hope in the near future we will be able to call all friends and neighbors. The Wheat field plant is second to none in ' the county and we know of no good reason why we should not put a good live pa per before the people. We earnestly desire to have every one call and ses us and see the machinery in operation. We have a 31x46 Babcock & Cottrell newspaper press, a 10x15 jobber and a Stover gasoline engine, and will take pride in showing them in operation.
