R. D. Anderson has established a blacksmith shop in Lexington, where he can be found at all times ready and willing to serve the public in anything in his line, at short notice. His next door neighbor, John N. Teague, who, by competent judges is called the best wagon and buggy maker in the south west, also makes a specialty of plow stocking in all various forms.
