Editor Wheatfield
. Dear Sir:
Believing you are thoroughly fami
liar with, duties of your editorial sanct; V
um'of the countuy paper, to fully com
prehend and realize that a country in land
town is depending, In regard to its
business and growth, upon the farmer '
and 'stockraiser 'of its surrounding
country. 1 ' '
Previous to starting the subject cf
my letter, J vish to say that the follow
ing lines are written in good, faith and '
with conscientious intention to help if ''
possible, Lexington, my home town, ,;? ' ...
to grow morally, socially and indust
rially aud ' become one of our best ; '
towns within the border of our rapidly v
growing county. There is nothing to
prevent Lexington of becoming, some ' '
day, the nucleous of commercial and
industrial activities.
, Lexington is haviug, or should have .
the patronage and support of the stock
raisers of that vicinity and the farmers
of the so-called "Lexington" country.'
The farmers1 that are farming the
m6st productive portion . of Morrow
county. The choice and ' first-class
agricultural lands can be fouud in the
so-called Lexington country. The
agricultural lands .-is "the' vicinity of
Lexington have always brought and
always will bring a higher price, when
being offered for sale, than any other
land in Morrow county, excepting of
course, creek bottom farms.
; Last, but riot least, these lands are ;
very productive without any artificial
means of irrigation. Lexington, as a
matter of fact, has all that is necessa
ry to make the most prospering town
within the border of our flourishing
county. The people of Lexington and
of its surrounding country, can justly
be proud of the town, that , is, after our
home town, Lexington, has reached '
the proper stage of development."' 'A
few determined, enterprising :: "men, -a
rood citv council of
ing and up-to-dale men that will es
tablish and maintain a first class'
school. This is the first and most im
portant thing to look after.
Once a success gained ' along this
particular line the rest will be easily '
accomplished. ' The country people
that are assisting in building up the
town should receive a hearty welcome
by the town people. However, there ,
is much to do before we can hope to
successfully accomplish the afore men
tioned conditions. The city dads
must look these facts squarly in the
face and they should also endeavor to
elevate the moral and ethical code
pertaining to the municipal govern
ment of the town of Lexington. Law
and order must reign supreme in or
der to bring forth the much desired "
condition in regard to the town.
It is a great mistake that a four or
five h undred dollars Is absolutely nec
cessary n order to defray expenses of
the water and light works. A bar
where liquor is sold is detrimental to
the moral progress of any town and, on, .
that account, many people refrain their '
children from going to school in a town
where liquor is sold. This fact should
be carefully taken Into consideration.
Many people will never send their
children to the Lexington school if the
liquor traffic Is allowed to be carried
on In your town. . 4m:iJ
Build homes In town and makeLmcrt',
arrangments that will enable yojtb.
send your children to the town school ? '
nine months ea'eh year, so that your ' ' !j -children
are enabled to get a good .ed-
