Mrs. w. E. Smell who came here

to Cedar Rapids, to go into business
there. There was not sufficient en-
couragement here to warrant her TO
continue he business. Mr.. and Mrs

near and pleasant neighbors to the
HERALD since they have lived in Lam
caster.
Rev.C.CSwartz leftMonday forDodge-
vile to the attend annual conference
held in that city. from the 18th to the
10Th inclusive. 1t is quite probable
that Mr.. Swartz will receive a call which
he may accept, before long Should
this prove true all Lancaster will de-
plore his removal. As a preacher and
worker in the cause of christianity, Mr..
Swartz is acknowledged leader and the
record he has made for himself in this
CITY will ever be remembered
VIM. p. Stone and family have given
up their home. The dissolution Of this
good christian home began with the
death of Mrs. Stone last summer. Soon
afterwards Mr.. Stone sold the residence
and has lately given possession. His
daughter Name, who has kept the house
the past year, has gone to Rockport,
Mo accompanying Mr.. Doph to his
home to spend the winter in his family
Mr.. Stone at present remains with his
sons, but talks of spending the winter
in warmer cline
DIR. Hartford and VIM. Larned, two
of CassviIl's progressive citizens were
among the callers at our office Monday
Mr.. Larned paid his 28th subscription
to the sHERALD and We hope TO scoop
HIM out of q more. Indications are
that we will be successful in this as Mr.
Larned is the perfect picture of health
and contentment. We might say this
for the Dr., who by the way is kept
very busy attending to mis- numerous
patients, but does not mind hard work
as the CHEEKY smile with which he greets
you will tell.
School opened Monday with full
attendance. The work for the year has
been vigorously entered into by both
pupils and teachers and good results are
indeed, very promising. Nearly four
hundred pupils have been enrolled
and this number will doubtless be in
creased considerably. Our school has
been placed on the accredited list, and
