Frank Markert and Dustin Pierce

Copper River country, Alaska, Mon
day noon. after an absence OF about
eight months. They look hearty after
their rugged trip.
On Friday evening the Christian
Endeavor society will give celebrity
social at the residence of Mr.. Will
Zeigler. A musical program will be
one of the enioyments to be partici-
pated in. Admission is 10 cents. All

In giving the list of pastoral as
signments the Herald Inadvertently
omitted the name of Rev. Ira LeBar-
on. This very worthy gentleman has
been assigned Lancaster circuit and
great things are expected of him in
organizing and strengthening Chris
tian Endeavor in the outlying dis
tricts in this vicinity.
How kind of the Highland Press,
after the green corn season is over, to
come out with a dainty description of
how to apply the lips and teeth to the
festive eating ear so as to get all its
| tOothsome nutriment and none of the
colicky-disposed husks and things.
Why didn't you tell rs sooner. Mr..
Press? You might have made tour
of the county fairs as ''the long-felt
want in the matter of the proper way
to bring from its virgin concealment
the graceful sickness of the Ameri-
can corncob. Anything would be
better than whole years regret that
we can't try your great receipt.
From the Hamburg, Arkansas,
Eagle, we clip the following item:
''Mr. Clark Buchner is in charge of
the stave factory now being erected
near the depot and will soon have the
same in operation Hamburg is the
county seat of Ashley county, thirty
ing village in the southeast corner of
Arkansas. 1t is on the border of the
| finest belt of Yellow Pine that can be
found in the country. 1t was recent
ly connected by railroad with the cot
ton belt road. Northern lumbermen
are fiocking in 10 buy up timber land.
The village is perfectly healthy-not
a case OF fever is reported which is I'M
usual in the Pine region. We gather
the foregoing facts from the Weekly
Eagle. If all the people of the place
are as enterprising as the editor of the
Eagle the county will become prosper
Gus. Horace Greeley advised the
young men to 60 west. But from the
late reports from Ashley county it
seems that this adage ought to read:
go south, young man, go south"
Through an oversight Of the Her
aid last week we neglected to mention
that Tom Carol had returned home
from the army, having secured fur
Tough of a few weeks to which he was
justly entitled. Tom is member of
Co. ID, 18th U. S. Regulars, and
is the only representative Lancaster
had in Skaters army He was with
the famous Gen. Lawton and took an
active part in all the engagements in
and around Santiago De Cuba. He
had served nearly three years when
war was declared, his time expiring
the 1st of June. Realizing that his
services were needed in time of peril
he at once re-enlisted, and in doing
so only short time previous to the
battle of Santiago shows that purely
patriotic motives prompted him to
re-enter Uncle Sans ranks. Before
reporting for duty he will 90 to Du-
buque, Iowa, for a visit with his
brother John.
1t is sometimes claimed that rail-
way companies are unfair in the
treatment of patrons who have small
claims against them and that by
means of delay and official red tape
