A Handsome Present.

The editor of this paper received a
queer looking package through the
mail Tuesday, and was at loss to I'M
derstand its appearance. Thoughts
of dynamite bombs, internal machines,
etc., fitted through our troubled
brain, but courage enough was finally
mustered to open it. Immagine the
surprise and joy when we beheld a
lovely lambSkin Masonic apron, care
fully rolled in tissue paper. The
thought of being the recipient of SO
lovely gift almost dumb-fOunded us.
The apron, as above stated, is of genu-
inc lambskin, beautifully trimmed
and lined with blue silk, with hand
some cords and tassels, the "Watchful
Eye" and Square" finely stamped
thereon. We do not know from whom
it came, but want to say here that
nothing on this selfish old sphere
could be more highly appreciated than
we do this apron. We have wanted
one for several years, and the donor
might have racked his brain and he
could not have selected ANYTHING
which gets closer to our heart. We
will certainly endeavOr to wear it
wOrthily, and our prayer is that Gods
richest blessing will descend upon the
big-hearted donor.

Hauled The Fodder.

A lively crowd hangs around the
building adjoining McRoberts drug
store, which is occupied by E. w.
Harris, T. j. Hatcher and NJ. d.
Hughes. Wednesday Capt. Tom Aus
tin came i'm and said he wanted a man
to haul load of fodder. Someone sug-
gested that Judge Hughes go after it
and Harris and Hatcher bet a dollar
that he would not go. The money
was put up and, to the great surprise
of those present, the Judge put on his
OvercOat, went to Austin's, hitched to
a sled and went mile in the country
for the load. About twelve o'clock he
crossed the Public Square riding the
horse and dragging a big sled-load of
cornstalks. He took it to Capt. Aus
tins, unlOaded it and turned the horse
In the lot. The occurrence created
much amusement, but Judge got his
dollar and says he is ready to 90 again
when anyone has dollar to pay with.

are all prepared and signed. They

THE RECORD intended giving detail
ed description of each department of

ly. We hope to state in next issue the
name of the contractor and date work

Hades Breaks Loose.

For some reason, the City Council
discontinued the services of the night
policeman, Joe Petty. Nearly every
night since, the pistol shooters and
midnight hOwlers make miserable the
lives of those living near the Public
Square. The town is now wholly at
the mercy of the fire fiend, burglar and
drunken pistol shooter. If only one
man is to be employed, why not put
Doc Walker on nights? There is alb
SOlutely no need of a marshal in day
time, as the sheriff, jailOr, constable
and six or eight other officers are duty
bound to arrest any evil dOer. The
night man ought to be on, the lord

It's Awful.

Dear reader, if any fellow tells you
the grip is nothing more than bad
cold, will you please tell him we say
he is liar and the truth is not i'm
him. Before undergoing siege of it
we were inclined to poke fun, and
thought those who spoke of ia
grippe" merely wanted to put on airs.
Several days last week we would have
cheerfully changed places with anyone
condemned to be hung. Our head
ached, our bones ached, everything
ached, and it is not much exaggeratiOn
to say We became afraid we wouldn't
die. If anyone has undergone this dis
ease and wants to prove that he suf-
fered, we stand ready to swear to any
statement he may make.

A Novel and Honest VIVA.

]. Joseph, the dry goods man, has in
his show window an elegant cooking
range which he proposes to give to a
lucky customer. y large gOurd is also
in the window and every purchaser to
the extent of one dollar will be given
a guess at the number of seed in the
gourd. On July 4th the gourd will be
opened, the seed counted and the near
est guesser given the range, which is
valued at s45. This is absolutely fair,
at it is impossible to open and learn
the number of seeds or make any esti-
mate of them until cut open.

The Club Organized.

About twenty-five persons met at
the Masonic Hall Saturday night, to
form the Club which was mentioned
in THE RECORD. DIR. Mckee was
present and said his daughter, Miss
Leila, could not be present, owing to
illness. This was great disappOint-
ment to those present, though the
talk given later by the doctor amply
repaid those who braved the misera-
BILE weather to attend. AS stated in
last issue, this club will be conducted
in connection with the Y. M. G.. A.,
and on motion the officers of that or.
ganizatiOn were chosen to fill the same
places for this club. A committee on
program for next meeting was select
ed. 1t was decided to meet twice a
month. The Y. NJ. G. A. has secured
the Odd Fellows Hall, and, as the club
is connected with it, we presume the
next meeting will be held in that hall.
The program for next meeting will be
published in next issue of THE Rec
! ORD.

the company was having two entirely
new and up-tO-date coaches built for

will be perfect models of convenience
and comfort. A new engine is also
being built for Engineer hammers,
and when complete the train will be
an elegant one. Capt. Phil Price says
business is much better on his train
since it was turned around.

Good Suggestion.

Judge Hughes has suggested that
owners who refuse to build on or sell
their lots in Lancaster should be made
to move them out of town. This is a
pretty good suggestion and we wish
it could be done. There is a step
which can be taken, however, which
will have a good effect and that is to
make the owners fill up the old cellars,
remove the rubbish, sod the ground
and put fence around it. Try this,
