AS IS well Known 10 toe reauerts ui
the Dispatch, we have recently made
a trip of the county, daring which
we visited every section and it was
with pleasure that we noticed the
many evidences of improvement of
the farms, the . stock and cattle,
the homes and business of our people,
to be seen in every commanity
and in every neighborhood.

have been at borne thinking of what
we saw and comparing the condition
*nd progress of Lexington C. H.
vj ith those of the other sections and
W9 have come to the conclusion that
as great a has been the progress of
other places none can surpass that of
this place. Of cour<-e, we who reside
ht re, and never go away cannot
be ^in to appreciate or realize the
wjnderful and almost marvelous
strides Lexington has made within
the last decade along the road of
development and improvement.?
Houses have been built in all directions,
business enterprises have
sprung up here and there. Our peo
pie take more interest in the adorn
ment of their homes aDd the volume
of business has been greatly increased
Is is remarkable but yet it is true,
that Leiiogton merchants are drawing
business from every section of
the county. It is a common every
day occurrence to see wagons from
the Fork, from the sand flats, Hollow
creek, "Switzer Neck" and all sections
of the couDty, come to town
laden with cotton and other farm
produce and leave with supplies and
other commodities purchased. It
has been demonstrated by actual experiment
that Lexington is one of
the best cotton markets in the State,
the tip top.price always beiDg paid
for the staple. Our streets are beginning
to assume a city like appearance
by the numerous presence
of home folk and strangers on our
streets transacting business of various
kinds, and our merchants seem
IU Ut? OIJ iJJilg O iau ouu iuutuuoi ative
trade. All these things are
evidences of prosperity aod progress
and are very gratifying "shadows" of
coming events when Lexington will
completely leave the old worn ou
rats wt icb have until recent years
chained her to the past and strike
out into newer fields of industrial
enterprise and business activity
There is certainly a great future

seize the opportunity presented and
work out for themselves the destiny
the fates decreed for her. This, we
are glad to remark, they are now doing
and if continued with renewed
energy, enterprise and perseverance,
Lexington will soon be a live, progressiva
and growing in'and city of
no small dimensions.
During the last four days of the
past week and the first days of the
present a bitter cold wave has been
sweeping with distructive force over
the west and far north-weet. Horses
and cattle are reported to be dying
from the intense cold in numbers
They were mostly the property of
poor people who have been unable to
feed them owin, to the high price of
food.

grain is seriously injured by the
absence of snow.
For the lack of proper food and
clothing the suffering among the poor
class of people in the path of the
wave is very great, and several deaths
are reported, two being from Atlanta.
A majority of the court of inquiry
has decided against Admiral Schley.
The majority report is signed by
Admirals Benham and Ramsey, two
Naval officers who have heretofore
been comparatively unknown outside
of official circles, and characterizes
Schley's conduct "as vacillating, dilatory
and lacking in enterprise," but
praises his pursonal bravery. The
menoritv report is signed by Admiral
George Dewey, who is "recognized
88 the foremost naval officer of the
Republic," and entirely disagrees
with the conclusions of the other report
except as to the personal-bravery
of Schley, Dewey sustains the conduct
of Schley in every instance and
but echoes popular verdict, when he
says, "Schley was effective and was
the senior officer in absolute command.
and is entitled to the credit
due for the glorious victory which resulted
by the total destruction of the
Spanish ships," while the decision
of the devided court is practically
against Schley public opinion is
largely in bis favor and the friends
of Schley are restless and are not
disposed to allow the finding of the
court staDd wi.hout a vigorous
protest. The case will in all probability
undergo both a Congressional
and civil investigation.

General Nelson A. Miles, Commander
incbief of the American army,
anet the Schley verdict, is of the
opinion that "Dewey his summed up
the matter in clear and concise manner"
aDd believes his conclusions will
b8 endorsed by the patriotic people
of the United States.

Postmaster General Charles Emory

Notice, Taz Payers.
Property owners are reminded
that reil estate is to be returned
this year together with personal*
property. For some time past
there has been considerable dissatisfaction
and complaint among the
land owners concerning the number
of acres upon which they pay taxef. j
It is claimed by some that they have
been paying taxes upon a great r
number of acres than they really
own. To avoid doing this for the
nrxt four years it is best to make out
a memorandum of the actual number
of acres and your other worldly possessions
before leaving home to meet
the Auditor, so that there will be no
mistake in the future. The Auditor
has often been blamed by the tax
payers, who really have no one to
blame but themselves.

These exercises will consist of declamations
tending to elevate and purify
| the moral tone and sacred songs of a
j high musical character, and other
I iiterestiDg features of a religious
nature. This entertainment promises
to be the best of its kind ever given

Barn urn's
Monkeys
"All well?all happy?lots
of fun". That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with Scott's Emulsion.
Consumption was carrying
off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accidentally
broke a bottle of Scott's
Emulsion, near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
lapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy Scott's Emulsion
than new monkevs?nn/i
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
| and in man is the same disease.
