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
