tor eight years one of the publishers

Mr.. McPike was come cted with the
printing business in Pennsylvania
tor more than forty years, and fully
earned the title of veteran among the
Democratic newspaper men of the
Keystone State. Both he and his
wife are greatly pleased with their
visit to Woodstock, not only be-
cause of the generous hospitality of
the kind friends whose guests they
are, but also because of the beauty
of the town and it. surroundings and
the air of elegance and contentment
which seems to make every home a
little paradise in itself. AS a sum-
mer resort, says Mr.. McPike, and
his verdict is the verdict of every
visitor, Woodstock has charms as
pleasing as they are noteworthy.
