Best Town Id Morrow County,
After reading The Wheatfield, of
December 28th, the lone Proclaimer
man threw a couple of fits and took a
few shots and had a dream wherein he
seen lone as the best town In Morrow
county The Wheatfield stated noth
ing but facts when it showed why
Lexington is the best town in Morrow
county, and did not state or intimate
that it shipped more grain than all the
balance of the county, but wt are still
of the opinion that we have the best
town In the county, and cannot see
how the Proclaimer man failed to
count our wheat shipments as a part of
Ione's shipment, but perhaps it was
like the traveling man's expense ac
count when it had an overcoat in it,
but you couldn't see it.
lone may have more people inside
its limits than Lexington, yet there is
not a knocker in our midst, our busi
ness men are not fighting each othgr
and everyone is working for the best
interests of the town. Can the Pro
claimer say as much? Our people are
more enterprising than the inhabitants
of any other town in the county.
Within the past year many new
buildings have been erected, a good
system of water works have been put
in and now everyone is having their
buildings wired for electric lights. We
admit that lone has been a pretty good
town but when Lexington wakened up
and got into the running lone began to
get a few sore spots and everytime any
one mentions Lexington it hurts and
hurts bad. '
Lexington with her natural advan
tages is destined, In a very few years
to be the best and largest town in thV
county. It is situated In the center of
the wheat producing belt, of easy
access and the natural market for the
best portion of the county. "Lexing
ton Grows Without Watching."
The Wheatfield Is In receipt of a
card announcing that Claud Gatch, of
Marion County is a candidate for
nomination for the office of Secretary
of State. We have received word
from a number of candidates announ
cing themselves, but have decided to
take no action In politics until after
th primaries.
That new station agent for Lexing
ton has not arrived yet.
