selves and honor to her in whose men,
DRY the service was held. The church
was very tastefully decorated with flow
ers, flags and bunting and presented
very attractive appearance, and was
we'll filled. The services consisted of
singing, reading of sketch of the life Of
Mrs. Hayes and an address by Rev. Mt.
Blakeslee. Everything passed off with
out a break and the services were of a
high order. The w. c. T. u, w. r. c.
and G. A. RS were all out in full force
and occupied front seats.
Lewis & Hafer have word to say to
the public this week in the advertising
columns of the HERALD which our read
ers will do we'll to consider. Give the
new firm all the encouragement possible
by demanding their cigars. They haye
secured their factory number, which is
800, and their first installment of boxes
has arrived. They will have their cigars
in the market within ten days, and al
ready they have liberal sales assured.
The resident manager. Mr.. Halter, is
hustler, and will use every honorable en-
deavor to secure bushes. He says most
emphatically that the goods must stand
upon their own merits. Once introduced,
if they fail to equal in quality cigars of
same price and grade from other houses
he will not ask for continued patronage.
THE CITY HALL-The brick work has
been completed and accepted by the
building committee, and those who are
expert judges of that class of work
agree that it is an excellent piece of ma
sonry. The woodwork of the roof is
in place and the timers are at work.
The lathing is nearly completed and
plastering will be commenced as soon as
the roof is completed-the last of this
| week.
There is no question but the city will
have an excellently constructed building,
and if the plan is not uniouslly satisfac-
DRY in details there is no occasion for I'M
due criticism over such portions oft as are
beyond the possibility of change. But it
would seem that provision could yet be
made for jury-room adjoining the
court room, one which would be so
small as to be readily heated in winter
and easy access from the court room. The
large assembly hall will not serve in
cold weather. although it might be uti-
lized for that purpose in the summer.
The lookup will be a commodious room,
accessible only from the Pine-st. front of
the building, cut off by brick-walls on
either side from the balance of the build
ing The stair case is four feet wide,
opening out upon Pine-st. with a landing
at the rear of the stage, which will be
about twenty feet deep.
The heavy work of the building is fill
ished and the balance will be pushed to
early completion.
