The dry weather of the past few
years has wrought rnia among the
shade trees in the court house park
and the top branches OF many of the
beautiful are dead. Laborers are now
engaged in cutting away the withered
members Perhaps this a good thing
as sunlight and air viii thus be let in
upon the grass which is killed out
badly in places
The Alba Haywood combination
appeared as billed at Reeds opera
house in Lancaster Tuesday night.
A small audience greeted them. APP
parently the people stayed away be-
cause they were fearful OF being
sold. Those who attended were de-
lightfully surprised It is the best
one-man show that ever struck the
city and repetition Of the perform

Chen. who is visiting his son-in-law,

dent Sunday afternoon He was on

The Dial-Enterprise is unduly
wrought mp over the HERALp,s an
nouncement, two weeks ago of " III.
Wilson's candidacy for sheriff. AL
though the HERALD is republican in
politics its columns arc open to candi-
dates of any party to make known
their wishes and Mr.. Wilson showed
good judgment in selecting the HEX
AID to give mis- candidacy publicity,
1t is true that when Mr.. Wilson
wrote us his wishes respecting the
sheritf's office we supposed he was
republican but we should have COM
piled with his request just the same
had we known his politics. Mr.. Will
son called at this Office Monday and
re-affirms that he is a candidate for
sheriff but that it is on the democratic
and not the republican ticket that he
desires his name placed. The Dial
Enterprise is in error in stating that
he does not aspire at all and is ..dis-
gusted with the articlen Does the
Dial-Enterprise imagine it ought to
monopolize this announcement bust
ness?
