THE SUMMER EXODUS
on to the Centennial


At this time when SO many of our patrons
are preparing for or contemplating their usual
trip during the summer solstice, it is well to
present to our readers the prominent advant-
ages offered by the railroad running direct to
the Centennial grounds To this end we
would speak of the economy, convenience and
desirability of taking the Great Fort Wayne
& Pennsylvania Line, which is running three
(3) daily Centennial trains from Chicago to
the very gate at the main enterance These
trains are made up of the elegant Pullman
Parlor Sleeping and Hotel Coaches, and com~
bine the luxury and comfort ola life at home,
yet gliding over this famous rout, noted for its
perfect equipment and careful management
at safe rate of speed never yet attained by
any rival. A feature not to pass unnoticed is
the facility for reaching hotels. In the inn
mediate vicinity, within five minutes walk of
the Centennial Depot, are to be found hotels,
at which good accommodations can be obtains
ed for two to FIVE dollars per day,
The Encampment at Elm Station, near the
Centennial Grounds, was established by the
National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry,
for the purpose OF accommodating the large
number of agriculturists who desire to visit
thu Exhibition, and TO afford a comfortable
and suitable resting place at the moderate exs
pense of two dollars per day.
Taking into consideration the immense sum
of money, time and labor expended by this
line to render perfect its accommodations for
the comfort and safety of its patrons, we UNI
hesitatingly recommend il as the most dcsir-
able route to the Centennial Exhibition.

CRIMES ExULTATIoN.-"It makes
us laugh yet" says the editor of the
AdUocate to think that two Democrats
in the old slave states are equal to
three Republicans. Villains always
laugh at the success of their crimes.
Tiden and Tweed no doubt have had
many hearty laughs over their sue
cess in offsetting $4,000 votes in the
state of New York by hiring few
scores of ruffians to stuff their ballot
boxes. The State of Alabama has
Just been carried by the Democrats,
by holding the Republicans in terror
of their pistols, well knowing that if
tho Republicans were all permitted to
vote they would carry the State by
10000 majority. Lancaster has a
man, supported by Republican
charity, who chuckles and laughs at
this. Louisiana has been carried by
Is, 900 Republican majority, with a
strong Republican Legislature, and
these aSsassins have murdered mem
bers of the Legislature and driven
them away until the Democrats were
in the majority. Fiends only would
laugh at this, and we have one OF
them in our midst who boasts that
he lives on Republican bread and
batter. Laugh yes, of course he
laughs When man has given him.
self over to the devil, crimes are his
meat and drink He laughs and
grows fat over them. To our readers
we repeat that the Southerners do and
have for the last two years boosted
that they'll would carry the Southern
states by systemized terrorism. The
editor Of the Advocate says this is
lie, but he is the lickspittle of the
bloodhound Butler, and speaks for
his master 1t is their business to call
truth lie, to debase honesty and
to scandalize purity. Laugh, rene
gade. because two Democrats are
equal to three Republicans T! When
at the ballot box stufhng in New
York one Democrat made himself
equal to 500 Republicans, you were
yourself Republican. You since
sold yourself for mess of pottage
and a pretty mess you'll make Of it.

LANcAsTER WooLLEN Minis.
is truly an encouraging sign of the
times, speaking locally, that this
factory is again III operation. Sew
ernl of the looms are already being
worked, and in few days Mr.. HoI-
ioway expects to put in motion all
the machinery of the mill. Togeth or
with the repairs made the addition
of new machinery puts the factory,
as far as its manufacturing facilities
are concerned, ahead of its former
capacity. The wool clip of Grant
County is estimated to be 125,0O0
pounds. Prairie du Chien, Lancaster,
Boscobel, Platteville and GaIena be-
ing the chief points of purchase OF
this amount Of wool produced at
home fully two thirds will be con-
sumed by this mill, most OF which
has beef purchased and stored. The
proprietor informs us that fannels
and tweeds will constitute the chief
production the coming year, and the
manufacture of cassimeres to meet
the demand Of old customers will be
continued. The we'll earned reputa-
ton of these several fabrics hereto
fore manufactured by Mr.. Holloway
will doubtless provide ready II ar
ket for mis- future manufactures. He
.. opposes TO use none but sound wool,
and no shoddy or cotton mixtures
will be used in the manufacture of
cloths We hopo this enterprise will
receive proper Encouragement Mt at the
hands of our citizens. Merchants as
well as farmers are Interested in the
development of home manufactures.
They keep capital at homo and
provide employm mt, and save to the
producer and consumer the cost of
transporting The raw material and
re-trAnsport of the manufactured ar
ticle. Patronize the Lancaster Wool
