OAK HALL, SMITH'S BLOCK, CLINTON.
SOUTHERN OORRESPOlDENCE,.
To the Editor of the Clinton ,New Era,
LExINoTON, KY., June 28th, 1884.
MIt, EDITDR,--Thinking that a letter
from this city will be read with interest
by the readers of your paper,I undertake
the task of sending one. Lexington is
situated in the centre of the world-famous
blue grass region of Kentucky, and is the
county seat of Fayette county, one of the
finest and richest counties in the State.
Lexington has to -day a population of at
least 26,000 and it is increasing,in popu•
lation every day. For flue parks, resi-
dences, shade trees and lawns, we doubt
if there is a city anywhere that can sur-
pass it; indeed, she is rightly termed the
"Athens of the west." The streets are
wide and lined all along witli the. beauti-
fol maple shade trees. Many persons
•aye asked the question why the place
was not called Iifaple City instead of Lex-
`ington, The people are all very hospit-
abIe and kind to strangers, especially to .
professink*chrristians. I have, since my
arrival here, on various oceasions, visited
the beautiful "city of the dead," which is
located just at the city limits, and is the
most beautiful cemetery I ever saw. In
it there is the towering mon u» ent of the
great Kentucky •statesmenHenry Clay,
also the, graves of Gen, Jelin t;. Brecken- •
ridge, Gen. John Morgan,,:and many other
noted soldiers and politicians,, to hear the
names of whom spoken of makes every
I entuckian's bosom swell with pride.. I
have also vieited;Ashiand, the hope of
Henry Clay, a lovely spot; his son-in-law
lives. there now. Adjoining Ashland is«
Woodland Park, a summer resort, a very
nice place, Opposite Ashland is the
driving park of B..J. Treacy,•a gentleman;
who handles and ships more thorough-
bred. horses than•'any man in Kentucky..
Lexington is also the home of Hon-. W.
C. P. Breckenridge, who, without doubt,
is one of the ablest lawyers in the south;
he will succeed J. Blackburn, as congress
marr'from tho•Ashland. district *this time, •
Jind will display his eloquen�c�e@; ae'ho is
termed the "silver tongSied'-drator.
have visited the fair grounds of the Agri- -
cultural and Mechanical'Assoc'ation, and
must say. thatthey, are siinply"grand.•-
They have one of the finest amph'ith'eatres
to be seenanysvhere, and also a'mile race .
track. 'It is at this fair that you can seo
all the finest stock of Kentucky. Lex-.,'
ington'has"a very pretty citypark under.
the managefnen,t of the Y.M.C.A., where
none but respectable white people are ad-
mitted,. end-! met' say it. is a nice place'
to spend I lie evening. '1'i. is city is a very
healthy place, and the climate the .finest
in -the • world.- �Morally,.it will hold `its
own with any city in the south ; •. it' has
cburebes and schools of every denomina-
tion, and cannot besurpassed foreolleges,
both male and female, all of which have..
just closed suceessfrd sessions. its. State
college is one of the finest buildings to be .
seen in the south. • Old Morrison College
is a:'Very old building, .and, quite. antique
in appearance; tbis•:coliege embraces what
is..known as Transylvania University,
and here it was that Jeff Davis, the can
federate chief, studied 'law, and there•are
sec res .of;others who :can look back with
pride to the days when they attended this
famous •• seat of knowledge. In this 'OP
lege young •men.are also prepared.far the •
ministry: Dr, McGarvey, of the Chris-
tian church; being•at its head", Lexing-
ton's' female colleges are known and spok,
en :of throughout the United States, And
nearly. every State in the Union has one
or more representatives :each 'year.' In
regard to schools and colleges, Lexington; •
to use a. curbstone phrase, .bikes the calve.
The city is undoubtedly becoming a -great
railroad center,. there 'being at least five
railroads running into it: now, from the
north,east, south and west. It has,. for
the last .twenty years, been -governed • by
old.fogies,''who put their money in vaults
and .U.S. bands, and.'showed no enterprise
whatever, but in the last five years young-
et:
ounger Hien,, with push and yith, stepped in
and said they would take the .reins m
hand•agd see if they couldti't make Lex-
ington what it once was, the great.manu-
facturin; center of the.south, and with` ;
what 5116eese these young met can.be seen .
from•the'following: -Theyfirst organized
a chamber of commerce, .and induced
capital, seeking investment to come here,
and it came,, since that time, they have
got a- look factory; broom factory, tobacco ;
factory ice factory,, electric light, street
railroad, water. works, and many other,
enterprises. This is one of'the best places.:
for any business requiring. tirnber'or iron,
as'it lies in abundant quantities along' all
the ' railroads, and can be brought- here'
cheap. • Coal is plentiful and clieap. All •
that is necessary to make'this a Manufac-
turing
nufac-turing city is a little capital. True there
is lots of money here but those wlio hold• .
it will invest in nothing but U.S. bonds.
Lexington, with. Fayette .county, is, in:.
deed the birthplace of the finest•stock in'
the World, and there is more money in=
vested in stock breeding.. than anything.
else. At a recent sale of short horn' 'cat-
tle here, the herd of Air. Hamilton, some
200 head, realized 'the sum of $83,000, the
higheet priced one was $7,500. There is
a saying that Kentucky beats the world
for fine Horses, grotty women, .and good .
whiskey, but I think Lexington beats
Kentucky, especuilly in the' two former.,
I know nothing about the batter. • Lex-
ington has three daily papers, two morn- -
ing and ono evening, and besides these it •
supports five weeklies, all of which seem, ...
to live, whether they Make anything or
nota They are, all very poor papers for
a city the size of this I think they need
different men at the helm. Wo have
now., in the .Course of construction, a
$1110,000 court hoose, all stone front, and
still be, when finished, one of the finest
buildings in the State, and one. flint Fay-
Otte county may .well feel' proud of,
Thinking I have said enough` about -Lox-
ington for the• present I will now close.
Yours, very respectfully, .,
