CALIFORNIA; EXHIBIT
At the Ohio Centen NAL and G.. A. n,
Encam pment.

Mr.. G. S. Forgy, a well known gentle
man who divides his time between
Springfield, this State, and Santa Ana,
California, called this morning on Secre-
tary Bonham, of the Centennial EXPOSE
ton Commission, to make further ar
rangements in regard to the exhibit to be
made by the people of Southern Califor-
mia. Mr.. Forgy is one Of the owners Of a
ranch Of 800 acres which has been annex
ed TO the town OF Santa Ana, and is much
interested in the exhibit to be made by
the part OF the State containing his pos
sessions. He has just returned from Cali
fornia, this being his fifth round trip
across the continent within year, and
brought official information as to what is
going on in the American Occident.
There is as great rivalry between
Northern and Southern California as
there ia between St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, and the people OF the two sections
are bending every nerve to make as
creditable exhibits as possible, each
naturally desiring in spirit OF friendly
rivalry to outshine the other at the great
exposition OF the people Of the northwest
territory. The Northern California people
will make an extensive exhibit OF the
products OF their section of the State,
while the Southern California display
will illustrate the life and industries 81

A NEW EDITOR
To Occupy the Sanctum Of the lions
Herald

The following notice from the Dover Re
publican will be of interest to the friends of
Mr.. Parkhurst in this vicinity:
Dover is to lose one of its valuable citizens
and one of the leading opponents of the Cos
pei. Rev. Charles Parkhurst, the successful
pastor of the St Johns Methodist Episcopal
church of this city, has been unanimously
elected editor of lions Herald. In view of
the fact that such well known men as Rev.
DIR. Dorchester, Rev. DR.. Hamilton, and Rev.
DIR. Ella were among the many candidates
for the position, the unanimity of his cleo
ton seems all the more creditable
Rev. Charles Parkhurst was born at Shar-
on, Vermont. After receiving the advan-
tages of the common schools, he pursued
thorough course of studies at kimball Union
Academy, and subsequently at Dartmouth
College. He studied law for time with
Hon. Hosea w. Parker, of Claremont, and
entered the ministry twelve years ago, since
which time he has made record which is
not alone confined to the Dover District, but
extends over a considerable portion of New
England. He has successfully filled many
leading appointments. Before coming to
Dover he had thoroughly eudeared himself
to the people in Lawrence. and his pastorate
in this city speaks for itself. For the past
two years, in addition to his efforts in behalf
of the church, he has accomplished much
valuable literary work, and delivereda course
of lectures on Evidence of Christianity" at
Laselle Seminary. Last Summer he visited
the Old World, and his entertaining letters
descriptive of things and events abroad, were
for many weeks prominent features of sever
al newspapers. The letters were meaty and
a
word painting. The originality and beauty
of the diction attracted many readers, and it
was through these articles that Mr. Parkhurst
first came to the front as an able wiel1er of
the pen. His future home will be in Boston,
and he will assume the duties of his new
position on the first of March.
The public may well look forward with
pleasure to the products of Rev. Mr.. Park
bursts pen.

To the Editor Of the KeRRe5ee Journal:
The item in the Kennebcc journal today in
relation to the support of Seth Williams Post
for Col. F. NJ. Drew for Department Com
mander, must have been inspired by some
person uniformed. The delegation from
Seth Williams Post, are not unfriendly TO
Col. Drew, and probably most of them would
like TO see him Department Commander but
a careful canvass would show not more than
one vote as positively for him. The decided
leaning of the delegation who are likely to
be present, is to the support of Col. H. II.
