Thomas Trollope. Esq, called at our
Office to announce that be would like to
be candidate for sheriff on the demo-
cratic ticket this fall. He says he has
been in this county thirty seven years
and while he has lots OF good points in
his favor, has never yet held an office,
and thinks he would like the Job real
we'll" We don't blame Tom for seem
ing to want Job Of that kind by any
means. When he goes along by the
Court House these warm afternoons
and sees some well dress men sitting on
the stone steps enjoying rest after a
hard days work, he naturally thinks it
is tina; way all the time and all that
county officers have to do is to sit
around and be happy. and the refrain
spontaneously springs to his lips and
he says:
could but sit where them chaps do
And view the court. yard or'er,
You bet I'd put the campaign through
As it never was before"
Won't some kind friend take genial
Tom aside and teach him that stanza
closing with Things are not what they
seem"
When you come TO town be sure to
make it a special point to visit John
Scbreiner & Sons large store and be
convinced of the elegant improvements
that they have made. The very con-
venient Encouragement of counters,
shelves, etc, etc, has made the
establishment more commodious and
better lighted than ever before, and
enables the proprietors to display their
immense stock of goods to the greatest
advantage. These gentlemen are justly
proud of the work they have done; and
the large patronage bestowed upon
them assures them that their manner
of conducting business is cordially APP
preciated. With their newly enlarged
and handsomely arranged departments
and great variety of goods of all kinds
they feel confident that they can now
with greater dispatch and better than
ever before attend to the wants of Gus
toners. When YOU visit Lancaster don t
forget to spend at least a few minutes in
looking over the various departments
of one of the most attractive among the
many at tractive ard excellent stores
in this city.
Lancaster turned out in force last
Wednesday, to witness the match game
of ball between the Fat and Lean mines,
of the city. The contest came off at
the fair grounds and was exciting and
peculiarly interesting Throughout.
Peculiar in that so many brilliant plays
were made. The spectators did not
anticipate the good playing; they went
up to the ground expecting treat, that
is, all expected to have plenty Of oppor-
TUNES to laugh at wild and generally
poor playing. There was no occasion
for mirth, however, both teams playing
exceptionally good ball from start to
finish. The Leans would have I'M
doubtedly won the game, had it lasted
nine innings, as the big fellows were
weakening obviously towards the close
of the sixth, when the game was called.
For the first four innings the Fats
deported themselves as school boys,
who were proficient in the ball playing
art if in nothing else, as school boys
sometimes are, and so completely as.
founded the Leans by heavy batting and
clever base running, that the said Leans
let them get a start, which they could
not over come, although tieing it in the
third inning. The official count was
given out as being Y to Is in favor of
the feshy gentlemen.
1t seems that some three or four young
hoodlums from this city visited a
neighboring town last Sunday and i'm
proved the opportunity to show off
their cussedness by hooung and using
foul language in the streets. The good
people of TIE town very justly look
upon this as an outrage that should not

the young scapegraces to justice got
out warrants for their arrest and placed
these warrants in the hands of con-
stable who came here for the purpose.
Now it seems that this officer was in
the habit of imbibing quite freely when
occasion offered and the boys improved
the opportunity to "fill him up" until
he could not tell the difference between
a crawfish and a cabbage, and while he
was in this condition two of them
