Pastor Resigns.
Rev. W. T. Thompson, Jr., who has
l)en pastor of the Presbyterian
church of this city eince early in 111 o ,
announced to his ccriyriefcauon Sunday
that he had decided to accept a call
to the First Presbyterian church c:
Knoxville, Tennessee, and that he
' would leave Lexington at once to l e
gia his work. The announcement,
. while It created no surprise was a hard
' how to the members of the congre
gation, and to the people of Lexington
in general. It is safe to say that iiU
pastor of any denomination, has ever
had a stronger hold upon- the affections
of a people than Mr. Thompson ha en
joyed here and his (joinuf is regretted
by everybody. Lexington Dispatch.

elected four new teachers. This will
increase the faculty by two members.
A committee consisting of Messrs. 1
ays, uoodson ana Harper was auth
orized to sink an artesian well at the
site of the new school building on Le
noir street. This to be undertaken as
soon as the debris that now cover.-,
the ground is cleared away.
The trustees recommended to the
board of aldermaen that the school
tax rnt' be tried' Si) cents on the hun-
!.ed as heretofore. This is virtually
t:.uig tne rate, since the aldermen
have always passed the rate as recon..
mer.ded bv the board.
