The people of Lexington were great
ly surprised last Monday morning' to
find a sign reading, "Going Out of
Eusiness", on the front of Leach
Bros' store. W. E. Leach, manager
of the large store was seen by the
Wheatfield man and was informed
that it was the intention of the firm to
go out of business. Mr. Leach has
been in activj business in Lexington
the past ten years, part of the time
under the firm name of Nichols &
Leach, afterwards the interests of -Jvir.
Nichols was p.rc '.ased and the styl
was changed to Leach Bros'. We
believe that we voice the sentiments
of everyone in saying that we regret
very much that this firm has decided
to close out their stock and quit busi
ness, yet we hope that the Leach
Brothers may prosper vherever they
may dtcide to locate and in all of
their undertakings. See their an
nouncement in this issue.

Johnson and Julius Subert, five boys
were arrested and brought before Re

fifth one plead not guilty and tys cas
will be called for trial next Saturday
afternoon.
