The record made by the local
high school football team during
the season just closed should be a
source of pride to every lover of
clean and sportmanslike athletics.
The team has made a very excel-
lent showing considering all things
that is the enrollment of our high
school in comparison with that of
their opponents, etc.,-a fine record
and recognition from the leading
high schools of the state is the re-
sult of the team's playing through
the season. During the entire seas-
on not one of the members of the
team have been absent from
school a single day from their
school work. They are required by
the high school athletic association
of the state to make a certain aver-
age in their studies before they .ire
eligible to play. The boys have all
taken an interest in the game and
at the same time have not neglect-
ed their studies-rather than that
they have taken more interest by
the exerccise and better physical
condition obtained by their work
on the athletic field. Lexington
has shown that she has a progress"-
ive high school by keeping a team
of good clean players throughout
the season.
Many compliments have been
heard in the visiting cities of the
work of the team, the clean way in
which they regard the game-its
boost among people who are gener-
ally regarded as "live wires" and
Lexington has profitted. The team
has competed with the leading cit-
ies of the state and have never left
the field with the feeling that they
have been humiliated or disgraced.
Prof. Edwards has helped the team
as much as possible. During his
spare time he has coached the team
and the success they have gained is
due in a large part to his efforts.
.Since the season has closed the
attention of the students will be
turned toward basketball and de-
bating work. Both the boys and
girls will have basketball teams and
literary societies. It is a pleasure
to see the progressive steps the high
school is taking.
are bad. They can be much im-
proved by the split log drag. Our
overseers should use it more than
they do. But when a road is work-
ed do it well before quitting. Dont
work it for next week but for next
year and the future.
Look ahead a little when you are
doing work on things that are per-
petually in use. It always pays to
put in a little more time while you
are at it, then they wont need work-
ing so often and will be better also
for using.
Another Law Suit.
Mrs. Bryan has commenced an-
other suit against K. W. Allison in
connection with the child born to
them, and over whose custody they
have been in litigation for ten years.
Mrs. Bryan charges that Allison is
getting ready to leave Oklahoma, is
disposing of his goods and chattels
in Cleveland county, and proposes
to take the child with him. Mrs.
Bryan seeks a restraining order pto-
hibiting him removing the boy from

Good, well improved roads are
very necessary to any civilized com-
munity. But money should not be
wasted on roads. A little here and
and a little there is useless. Use a
little more in the beginning and
make permanent roads whose main-
tenance will be light.
Much good would be accomplish-
ed if more counties followed the ex-
