Rev. H. d. Smith and wife were
greatly surprised last Friday evening
by the members and friends of the NJ.
E. church. The party left beautiful
rocker for Mrs. Smith and many other
tokens of regards in the way of useful
packages. Mr.. Smith was absent at
the time and was greatly surprised on
his return to find so many kind remem-
brances.
Editor "Goldy" of the Dial, Boscobel.
was in the Hub last Saturday on busi-
ness. He was welcome visitor at the
HERALD and as is his custom expounded
several comical stories for our benefit.
Telling thrilling and laughable tales is
one of Goldy's chef characteristics. and
in our estimation is only equaled by bis
magnanimity.
A new ironing apparatus of the latest

Last Friday evening the democrats of
Lancaster and vicinity had q rousing
meeting in the City Hall. Burr w.
Jones, ex.coDgressman from this dis
trict and District Attorney ClearY were
the speakers, and they gave by odds the
best democratic speeches of the cam
paign, Mr.. Jones is moderate, easy
talker who pleases his audience, but
when it comes to talking to an audience
for votes he is not the equal of Mr..
| Cleary. The hall was crowded and the
speakers had the attention of the audi
ence. Indeed, the habit of paying
|. attention is characteristic of Lapcas-
ter audience.

was getting his parapherualia together

him speak in very complimentary
terms of his host and hostess, and also
praise the hotel and manner in which
it is conducted. When such men as
General Fairchild take the trouble to
express their opinion, unsolicited, in
favor of any particular hotel, it is good
evidence of the excellence of the same.
We venture to say that no where in the
state arc hotels conducted on plans
which meet the appreciation of all
guests, as do the hotels here.
Gen. Lucius Fairchild, the honored
war vetern. closed the campaign in this
city and practically in the county Mon
day night, by delivering to an enthusi-

He spoke in his characteristic off hand,
matter of fact manner, not attempting
to soar above, and yet with enough elo-
quence to entbuse his audience to a
HIGH pitch, The General was met at
