We will note in behalf of Mr.. Cementson
that his running ahead of his ticket in Lancas-
ter is not to be attributed to his personal eff
forts. 1t was an organized and determined
effort by some malicious parties to defeat DR.
Baxter but we are pleased to say that the at
tempt failed and the important office for which
the contest was waged win continue to be
held by the regular Republican nominee.

Men in steady and local business cannot
slways discern the advantages of advertising
but set up business that has had no invitation
but an advertisement and you may learn what
advertising does. For instance, T. NJ. Young's
railroad land advertisement in the HERALD
took him FIVE applications the first day, and
soon required of him so much communication
with his company that he was called to head
quarters 10 attend to it. And this reminds US
that some time ago three or four line notice
in the HERALD by Mr.. O. J. Arnold that a
teacher was wanted in Mt. Ida, brought him so
many letters that he thought he would have to
employ clerks, and sci up correspondence
bureau.
The Independent, published at Wahoo,
Nebraska, contains an obituary of Noble
Gregory, who died in Sanders County, Ne
braska, March u, aged 10 years. Father
Gregory as he was known there as well as
here, formerly lived in this county. He was
always active in religious duties, and could
not live long in place without being known
by everybody and liked by nearly all. On the
day of his death he was much engaged in
prayer and showed great anxiety TO convert a
young man who was working for his son. He
sat down to dinner and had just begun TO eat
when he put his hand TO his eyes complaining
of sharp pains. In thirty minutes he was dead.
He leaves behind, says the paper from which
we quote, memory fragrant with good deeds
and kind words, and character unspotted.
