WELCOME AT HIS OLD HOME.
Kind Words for a Salt Eaker W no
Visits Old Friends and Early
Scenes.

OF our fellow townsman, Mr.. Herman
Bamberger, who is now visiting in the
East, the Pleasant Valley (MissourD Re
ciew has the following pleasant lines:
interviewer with our very nature seems
a sacred tie that binds US still closer in
sympathy to those with whom we have
| striven in years agone, and the warm
/ heart throbs anew with q joyous impulse
as, by renewal OF associations, we are
made to live over the happy past. The
mention of the name OF Herman Bam-
berger will recall to the memory OF most
of our old citizens many stirring events
and happy "reminiscences OF by-gone days,
when Pleasant Hill was in the zenith of
her glory
In the fall of 1864 Mr.. Bamberger came
to our youthful city, then all vigor and
life, and entered into the mercantile bust
ness. With a genial, social disposition,
he soon gained the confidence and esteem
Of the community. and was eminently
successful in his business relations.
In 1867 he was chosen delegate to the
State Democratic Convention, and in 1868
was chosen councilman of Pleasant Hill
and was among the numbers of our citi
zens appointed to attend the legislature
in the interest of Richland county. On
two separate occasions was he chosen as
delegate to the Democratic conventions OF
Cass county, always being recognized in
these honorable capacities because of his
ability and his influence with his fellow
men, and because OF his labors and sue
cess when advocating the claims of his
friends.
In 1871 he moved to St. Louis, where
the same good fortune, both socially and
pecuniarily, followed after, and where he
engaged in a successful business career.
In the memorable Senatorial contest in
1869, in which Cockrell and Crittenden
were the aspirants, Mr. Bamberger was
strong supporter of Cockrell, and at JEFF
ferson City labored successfully in the
interest OF our present honorable Senator.
Whether by matter OF chance or by
severe exertion and superior ability, Mr..
Bamberger has been exceedingly FORUM
ate in all his undertakings; but no stain
OF dishonor attaches in all his lifelong
career.
With no apparent personal aspirations
always laDOrlng Tor the welfare OF those
whom he deemed most worthy and de-
serving, he has always been a staunch
supporter OF the Democratic standard.
During the past four years he has been
a resident of Salt Lake City, and in this,
his pioneer home, has gained for himself
a host of warm friends and admirers. But
he has not forgotten his old associations,
and on visit to st. Louis few DAYS
ago could not forego the renewal OF old
in Pleasant Hill. Here he
was greeted on every hand with well
come that must indeed have been graft
fying-an Acknowledgement of the kindly |
feeling entertained for one who had so |
long been citizen among us, deserved
compliment to the integrity OF one upon
whom in long-gone years, the people of |
Pleasant Hill had so lavishly bestowed |
honors. The kindly welcome, the warm |
greetings, the friendly hand-shakings
told volumes OF how the human heart
to the sacred memories of the
past, and portrays the sublime sanctitv
Of cherished friendship.
