fifty ..iilled up on oysters to their
hearts content and paid generously
toward the pastors salary. Thus we
show our appreciation Of Rev. VIM.
Edwards.
Mr.. Joe Ivey, Collector OF Gus
toms for Alaska, surprised and de-
lighted his friends by an unexpected
visit this week. Joe was one of the
best bows Of Lancaster twenty years
ago Judging by his appearance and
the success he is meeting in life he is
all right yet.

The Mccormick people have got
themselves pretty well located in Ed.
Hyde's new building. Their samples
show up in grand shape. They have
their repairs arranged in such shape
that farmers can get their repairs for
mowers and binders at any time. A
carload of Irvine is already stored in
the building ready for selling. Their
machines are made right, work right
aud will be sold right. 1t
The band boys had an entertain
ment in the city hall last Tuesday
evening. The fun began in the after
noon with the burles6ue 'hayseed
parade and continued until The show
closed. The home talent part of the
show was good. The cornet solo by
Mr.. Edwards was especially fine-the
best we have ever heard from him
Mr.. Edwards has natural musical tall
ents which years of work and study
have brought to high degree of per-
lection. The work OF the imported
people was not very satisfactory. The
band nets something like fifteen dol
lars out of the effort.
There's going to be big time
next summer and the summer follow
ing. The feasts Of the Caesars and
Pharoahs wont be comparison. We
refer to the time when the citizens of
Lancaster and vicinity will gather and
banquet on the rare, rich and Juicy
ripe fruits from the raspberry and
strawberry plants they will buy from
Tony Howell's gardens this spring.
The plants are of Tony's own raising
and are warranted. Rich, red rasp-
berries, juicy, yellow ones, and lusci-
Gus black beauties-and the plants
cost only $l.25 and $500 per hun
dredi Strawberries-nice. sweet, fat.
palate-ticklers, 80 cents per hundred
See Mr. Howell and get the best plants
at once.
According to the financial report
OF the council, the city scales have
yielded to the city a net revenue of
over $500 during the last year. Old |
er citizens will recall the opposition
to the city's gong to the expense of
putting in the scales for fear it would
be losing venture. To Geo. UT |
more than anyone else is due the buy
ing and placing of the scales and he
had to endure a good deal of criticism
at the time for his persistence in adj
vocating city scales. That's the way
of the world. A man that advocates
mprovements and reforms for his |
town always stirs up the kickers and
is not appreciated until his day and !
generation is past. But gentlemen
the next time you 90 by the city
scales just take off your hat in recog-
milton of the good sense Of Geo. d.
UT on the scales question.
