A representative of this paper made a visit Jo Lexington Saturday and found the gopd people of that thriving community all In a happy frome of mind, the apparent cause being the abundance of moisture and the fine weather. The rains have made it so wet that most of the far mers are compelled to lay off plowing and seeding for the present. Grain that has been sown is all coming up nicely and there is certainly a fine prospect for good crops all through the Lexington country at the present time. A little apprehension was not ed, however, for the outcome of the fruit crop owing to the fact that buds are beginning to swell and a cold snap would put the trees out of business for the season. Business' conditions at Lexington have been ex-1 cellent during the past year, and the merchants there are looking forward to another year of prosperity. The little community is happy and well contented. I Mtb. W. G. Cullck was a Tuesday visitor in Heppner. LOST Ladies' diamond ring. Find er return to this office. Reward..'
