Mr. Bennett's talk on Armistice
Day at the front was very interesting.
There were a number of other ex-soldiers
and sailors present, but none
of them could be Induced to relate
their experiences. One ex-soldier In
formed the committee that be could
face a nest of German machine guns
with a steadier nerve than he could
an audience from the platform.
Mr. Worstell's remarks were along
the line that the nations that did not
forget Ood were the only nations that
could stand the test of time. The
program was apparently enjoyed by
all. The committee Is congratulated
upon arranging for such a program
in the short time. It Is understood
that all arrangements were made dur
ing the forenoon of the same day.
The citizens of Lexington feeel that
they have obeyed the Governor's
proclamation to observe the first an
niversary of ArmiBtlce day with sult
ible exercises.

attendance at the Saturday night

apparent indifference of a great many
ot the dancers, there will be no
