FennimOre.

If after the perusal OF this correspond.
cnce, you will wonder whether or not
Fennimore is a Democratic town, don't
be deceived. 1t is, asteretofore, strong
~ Republican. The Democrats are
nevertheless preparing for an active
campaign. If, through chance, or our
delicate presentation of facts, we shall
be able to make any converts to our
glorious cause, it will be free cigars
to the HERALD force 1t is curious and
characteristic Of human nature how an
organized effort viii awaken enthusiasm.
No sooner had the Republicans of this
place organized club, then the Demo-
Gratis were awakened as if by magic,
and banded themselves together and
organized club of their own, an ac-
count Of which was published in last
weeks HERALD. Much enthusiasm is
manifested among them rs a result, and
although they are strongly in the minor
ity, they are, as they describe it, going
to have some fun" Being in the
minority they also feel that they have
TO work all the harder to win, and this
is their first organized effort hereabouts,
and it is bound to be success.
While we are writing about clubs,
would it not be wise to have Il Demo-
cratic State league? If experience
shows that il is good thing on small
scale, will it not be much more so on a
large one? We believe a grand thing
could be accomplished BY state organ
ization, and we look to the leaders to
organize such a movement
The Democratic club Of Fennimore
meets next Monday night and requests
that all members be present, and also
all other Democrats and persons who
have an interest in It's success Don't
forget the date, April 2nd.
Some Of our musicians met last Satur-
day evening and formed cornet band
with VIM. Beiderman as leader. We
believe the boys ought to be encouraged
by all possible means to keep up their
organization and give US a band that
will be credit TO our town. Such an
acquisition was sorely needed We re-
ioice that we will thus have band music
to inspire the boys of the Democracy to
united effort and action, when they have
anything special going on during the
coming campaign.
The Democratic State convention will
be held on May 1st in Madison.

A Word OF Warming.

IOAN VI
EDITOR HERALD:-Will you be kind
enough to give space in your paper for
me to call attention to matter of inn
portance TO tho whole community? /
refer to the enforcement of some of our
laws.
1t is lamentable fact that for years
the law regulating the Sabbath has been
openly and VIGOROUSLY violated in this
vicinity. Is it not time to ''call Il halt" 4?
This disregard for the Lords Day, and
contempt for the feelings of those who
would spend the day in worship,
theaten the welfare of society.
1t seems that neither the laws CT God
who commanded that we should ire
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy nor the statute law of our own
state which reads as follows, ''any per-
son who shall keep open his shop, ware
house or workhouse, or shall do any
manner of labor, business or work, ex-
cept only works OF necessity and charity
OF be present al any dancing or public
dlrerSi0n ShotC or entertainment or take
part IN any sport, game or play on the
first day OF the week, shall be punished
etc." have been sufficient 10 restrain
many persons from making Sunday a
day of diversion and sport
1t was confidently hoped that the re-
cent religious awakening in this city
would induce parents at least to use
their best endeavor to restrain the grow
ing population, and thattbis spring and
summer would find the boys and young
men in the Sabbath schools and
churches in place of along the streams
with rod and gun.
Lancaster IS favored spot for re.
ligious training; the people at great ex-
pense have built nice commodious
churches, and have procured able and
talented ministers of the gospel, to en-
terrain, enlighten and instruct all who
viii attend.
There are many in this city who be-
lieve that laws are made to be obeyed,
and have concluded that if neither re-
spect for the opinions of others nor
veneration for Divine law, will restrain
eyil-disposed persons, the strong arm of
the state must be invoked 1t is sincere
ly hoped that no occasion will arise 20
compel this last resort.

to James Z. DiVall,

Monday noon has grown to be the fash
ionabe hour for weddings in Lancaster
and though all the elements of the

the air was balmy. and all came happy
to the marriage feast. A few minutes
after twelve the bride and groom, at
tended by Mr.. Bert DiVall q brother,
and Miss Allie Thomas sister. entered
the presence of the guests and stood in
the archway of the double parlors.
Rev. S. S. Grinnell pronounced the
sacred ceremony.
Making two hearts throb as one.

is not SO well known to the townspeople

went to Madison to spend few days
before going to their new home, on a
good farm a few miles east of town,
where the lire is already aglow on the
