Lexington still survives the terrible
onslaught and is doing business
ok B.mn nld cfonrl Tta nonnln
are calm aod serene and are persuing
the even tenor of their way undisturbed
and unmindful of the alleged
ierce storm raging beyond the borders
of their county. The most of
them still continue to carry their produce
to Colombia, that is those who
have been in the babit of doing so,
where they find a ready sale, as usual,
for all they carry, and they in return
do their trading with Colombia merchants,
apparently without any interruption
of the friendly business relations
which have always existed
between them. Lexington folk are
still visiting tbeir city cousins and
ere wined and dined with a hospitality
that plainly says "come back,"
and Columbia people return the
visits of their country cousins and
are treated to a bountiful supply of
bog and hominy, bacon and collarde,
v sweeten water and persimmon beer.

w>89 ooou- iu exaiDi&s ouu aneuuauce.
It was, perhaps, the best fair ever
held in Lexington county. It wss
also a big advertisement for LexingIon,
town and county. The fair attracted
people from other places and
we beard some of them express themselves
as being delighted with our
climate, our surroundings and the
productiveness of our soil, and we
believe that as a resoltant some of
them will come back and settle
among us.
There is no question about these
faire being of great benefit to Lexington
county, and for this reason, if
for no other, they should receive the
united encouragement of our people.
ThiB can be done in many ways, as
for instance, taking stock, talking np
the fair; preparing exhibits and in various
others ways. The officers have
encouraged by the patronage they
bare received, and they will redouble
their efforts during the coming year.
^Kow, our advice to all who love LexungfcoD,
mother of their ancestors and
the place where their children first
*aw the light of day?the greatest
^county on God's green earth?is to
join m with these enterprising and
progressive men who are at the head

The Sultan cf Turkey is reported
to be a very eick man. No wonder;

that he has enjoyed recently is
enough to interrupt the digestion of

The Powers have submitted a
scheme to Turkey for the amelioration
of affairs in Macedonia. Its
guiding principle is for the control
and survelliance over all branches of
the administration of the disturbed
provinces by Austria and Kussia for
a period of two years. Besides several
other points in regard to the relief
of refugees, the rebuilding of
churches, the disbandonment of the
irregular troops and the prohibition
of the employment of the Bashi Bazouke,
a couple of further important
proposals, which will be bitterly opposed
by the Sulton, provides for the
establishment of communial autonomy
and the rectification of the
communial boundaries.

Stats Fair in Fall Blast.
Nearly everybody hereabouts will
visit Columbia this week and take in
tbe State Fair. Many Lexingtonians
are now there, but as Thursday and
Friday will be the "drawing" days
tbe majority of them will reserve
their visit for those days and remain
over until Saturday, so as to "see the
circus," which exhibits there that
day.
Rpports from Columbia say that
the Fair is better, the exhibits finer
and more numerous, the attractions
on a grander scale, the deoorations
more magnificent and the crowd
perhaps the largest ever gathered in
Columbia on a like occasion.
Lexington as a Cotton Xarfcet.
Lexington is becoming famous as
a cotton market. Many farmers have
learned that they oan always obtain
the highest market prices for their
cotton and others are finding this j
fact out through actual experience.
No matter what cotton is bringing
in other markets Lexington will always
do a little better.
In order to show that this is not
gae but is a hard, cold fact, we mention
that in the last day or two a
large amount of cotton has been sold.
Among the farmers who have done
bo are the following: J. B Hiller,
Hilton; J. H. Shull, Arthur; John M.
Caughman, Providence; W. Q M.
Berley, J. West HarmaD, Peten; J.
P. Shell, Adai?; L. K. Harman,
Providence; Eml. G. Sox, between
this place and Columbia; A. W.
Shealy, Hollow Creek; R B Bawl.
Henry Sease, Hollow Creek; W. J.
BallentiDe, Cbapic; W. B. Taylor,
R^cky Wei!; D F. Price, Mrs. S N/
Price, Priceville; J. C. Spires, Edmund;
George R. Fields; H. H.
Dreher, Charlie Henry, Counteville;
Henry Hallman, Hollow Creek; J. L.
Kyzer, T H. Bawl, Beaver Dam; Jos
Low man, Fork; W. A. Leaphart, j
Adair.
There are many others whose \
j names we have been unable to obtain, j
but the above is sufficient to show,
that Lexington people from every !
section of the county "know a good
good thing when they see it. i
Fine Poultry.
Mr. H. M. L. R;>of, one of our best
known and most successful fanciers,
had on exhibition at the Ir.te County
Fair quite a large and exceedingly ;
pretty display of fine birds. The j
varieties to which he has paid paiticular
attention consists as follower
White, Barred and Buff Plymouth
Rocks; Blue Audalosian?: Mottled |

on the 17th, the funeral being conducted

The amount of liquor that went out
of town on Saturday was enormous.
The dispensary was the most porular

do when you buy thin paint in u can.
with a paint label on it.
8 and 6 make 14, therefore when
i you want fourteen gallons of paint,
buy only eight gallons of L. & M ,
and mix six gallons of pure linseed

mixed therewith to paint a good sized
