PoIlllcal mees.ng I'D Wess Lancaster.

Political Meeting at West Lancaster
Pursuant to call, the citizens of West
Lancaster and vicinity met at the COM
modious school house and organized by
electing Henry Huffman chairman and
Earl Carr secretary. The meeting was
addressed by IT. Fl. Sanderson, Esq, and
Hon. Mills Gardner. The meeting was
well patronized and very enthusiastic.
Mr.. Gardner delivered one of his familiar,
stirring, sensible speeches. He showed
up the policy and imbecility of Tom Ew-
ing's financial theory; also, as regards
the repeal of the United States election
laws, as suggested by the Southern ex-
Brigadiers in Congress; their damnable
States rights doctrine, and also the cow
ardly, unpatriotic submission of North
ern Democrats to the Southern Demo-
cratic caucus in Congress; the unpre-
cedented violation of the usage and Gus
tom in regard to redistricting the State of
| Ohio. Thus, in the political light and
virtues of our great State, the members
of the Ohio Legislature bowed as slaves
to their masters, and assumed the undig-
nified position of laequeys and scullions
to the dictates of Sam. Randall and the
x-Confederates. When Mr.. Gardner
closed he received such a round of ap.
plause as indicates that the people in oul
community are terribly in earnest ON the
political situation.
HENRY HUFFMAN, Chm'n.
EARL CARR, Sec'y.

RIr,hhav Celehra,.on-

On Tuesday last we, with many of his
neighbors and friends, attended the cele-
bration of the fifty-seventh birthday of
Mr.. Isaac Johnson, in Perry township.
The day was bright, and the friends as
sembled on this occasion were cheerful
and happy. Mr.. johnson and his amiable
lady are old and highly respected citi-
zens, as was fully attested by the large
and respectable gathering of his neigh
bors to assist in the celebration. About
one O'Clock the company were notified to
partake of dinner. The tables literally
groaned with the esuperabundance of good
things that were brought in by the
friends. 1t was designed to be surprise,
but in this respect it was not quite . sue
cess, as from some circumstances Mr..
johnson suspected there were designs
upon him. There were one hundred and
twenty persons seated at the tables,
who Jared sumptuously on the rich col
lation prepared for the occasion. 1t was
a most happy reunion of relatives, old
friends and neighbors, and none seemed
to enjoy it more than our friends, Mr.
and Mrs. johnson.

On the 9Th day of July, past. the Com
missioners of Fayette county awarded
the contract of two wrought-iron bridges
to the undersigned, which were to have
been erected in twenty days from day of
contract. The iron was ordered by us at
once, and was to have been delivered in
ten days, but is yet not delivered, but is
expected daily. The special shapes for
wrought-iron bridges cannot be had in
any market at present, but it is hoped
that the demand can be filled soon. The

all that can be done to forward the work.
Be patient a little longer; the bridges
will be erected in the shortest possible
time. Respectfully,

n, oldest child of Mr.. and Mrs. R. W. Merchant,
aged years, months and days.
Thus has the angel of death entered this happy
nome and plucked tender flower which but for
Der was very promising child, and loved by all
who knew hIm. He seemed to take great delight
in hearing the children sing in the sabbath school,
and was especially pleased with the music of the
organ. A few days before he was taken sick he
mother a great many questions about heaven;
what kind of place it was and if they had or
O'Clock A. NJ, a large concourse of sympathizing
friends and neighbors assembled at the Centre N.
Quoted by the writer. At the close of the services
the accompanying beautiful and appropriate lines
were sung by q few Sunday school children. Sc
lected for the occasion, led by Miss Nettie Smith;
and, being accompanied by the mellow and plain
tive tones of the organ, every heart seemed to
blend in sympathy with the bereaved parents.
Many were the tears shed on that occasion:
When the Sunday school is gathered
On the pleasant Sabbath morn,
Will you miss your little Willber,
Dearest teacher, when Pm gomez
In the Sunday school lsve;
But your Willber will be singing
In the Paradise above.
For think hear the angels
Calling me to realms Of love.
And hear the music ringing
In the Paradise above.
Farewell, mother, 1 am going!
See the angels coming near!
How they crowd around me- mother!
How they do my spirit cheer!
o. to quit this vale of sorrow,
And to rise on wings above!
o, to be an angel, mother,
Where the angels dwell in lovei
For / think | hear the angels, etc.
Colder, colder am growing
Chilling waters round me roar;
There's my Saviour-bleSsed Jesus
Smiling on the other shore!
Take me, Saviour, take me to thee;
Kiss me, mother. let me go,
Safe beyond this rolling Jordan
Safe from sorrow, sin and woe!
| The remains were conveyed to the South Ply
mouth Burying Ground, where the angels will
watch over his sleeping dust until the resurree-

Mr.. Childs' Newspaper.

The New York Eueni7ag Telegram,
in an article on the Philadelphia Ledger,
says of Mr.. Childs, what is universally
known at home and abroad, that "his
charities are bountiful, and his hberality
to his old employees is only equaled by
his generosity to strangers. Many of
of his assistants are old and infrm.
Those who can no longer work to adj
vantage he pensions. One is in Europe
drawing full pay. William V. Mexican,
man of rare ability, is the chief edi-
torial writer, and has been since 1864.
He was formerly an assistant to J. w.
Forney in the Clerks desk in the
House of Representatives. Thomas
M. Coleman has been the city editor
for twenty-five years, and is now in fee
BILE health, travelling at the expense of
Mr.. Childs in Europe. Raymond John
son is city editor in Mr.. Coleman's alb
sence. The financial articles of the
Ledger are well written, and attract re-
spectful attention. They have been
supplied since 1910 by Joseph Sailer,
who in thirty nine years has not missed
a day of service. The vast mechanical
interests of the Ledger establishment
are in the hands of William l.. Drane,
who has controlled that department
since 1887. The Local Gleanings'
column was begun by the original
Ledger man, Mr.. Charles Ritter, in
1910. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the
New York Tribune, was formerly
Washington correspondent of the
Ledger, and was succeeded by John NJ
Carson, who acts in that capacity now.
Another of the old employees of the
Ledger is Mark Richards Muckle, who
entered the office in 1912, since When,
as boy, youth and man, he has continu-
ously remained. At present he is
cashier, and one OF the marked features
of the establishment. The business of
an enormous concern like this of which
we write cannot easily be understood
or appreciated by outsiders. A daily
profit of 81, 900 is not made without eff
fort. The Ledger owns a very large
paper-mill in Elkton, Nd, where large
number of employees constitute a small
township, and make the material on
which the journal is printed"
