knows so many men In our own church
and in other churches, the influential
leaders in their respective spheres, as
does DR.. Hamilton. He has done valu-
able work in his present position. He
was with Bishop Fowler, fraternal
delegate from our church to the British
and Irish Wesleyan conferences, which
he visited last summer. His addresses
were valuable historical documents, and
have been printed in beautiful PAM
phlet for private circulation. The league
should know him and the work he leads
in the Freedmen's Aid society. In i'm
portance it ranks with the missionary
cause.

A smooth tOngued travelling man
was here last week and induced several
business men to buy lot of " engrav-
ed" letter heads. a fancy price was
paid for the /" engraving. The So
called engraving is made in this way:
A background is purchased by
printer, at cost of about S1.5O. The
sheets are run through the press with
this and printed with slightly cOlored
ink. Then ordinary type is set and
the wording printed over the back
ground. The same background is used
on every other, though different type
is used. To one not well up on engrav-
ing and printing the work looks well,
but when a customer sees his next-dOOr
neighbOr with the same cut, or back
ground, he begins to think over the
uncertainties of the human race. This
Office receives many circulars from
type houses wanting to sell us back
grounds, but we do not intend to gull
our patrons by any such clap-trap.
The type never prints in the right
place and an examination will show
the" cheap hash" sticking out all over.
If business men want engraved sta
tiOnary they should have reputable
firm in some city to make them plate,
which is the only way it can be done
DIRECTLY.

Excellent Machine.

THE RECORD office has just received
a brand new Chandler & Price Gordon
job press. 1t is the very latest inn
proved and no office in Kentucky can
boast of a finer one. You can have
some idea of its size when we tell you
it weighs $500 pounds. All the latets
patents are on it and turns out work
as fast as a man can place the sheets In.
Notwithstanding its tremendous size,
it runs as smOuthly as new sewing
machine and is as silent as the thOmb.
If you want to see the prettiest piece
of machinery skilled hands can make
come up and take look at this press.
1t was bought from Barnhart Bros. &
Spindler, of Chicago, a house which
refuses to 60 into the great typefOun-
der's trust and which can be truth
fully called "the printers friend.
1t took six Swapping colored men,
with blocks and tackle, to raise the
machine into the Office window.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Business Men Form an Organization
for Promotion Of Interests Of
Lancaster and Gar.
rard County.

The fact that Lancaster has awak-
ened from her Rip VanWinkle nap
was again demonstrated Monday eve
ming by the business men meeting and
forming a Commercial Club, the object
of which is to hustle for everything in
sight which will promote the interests
of our town and county. About twen-
ty-five or thirty of the leading bust
ness men met in the city court room
and, by the interest exhibited, proved
they meant business and proposed to
pull off their coats and build up a town
second to none in the state.
Capt. VIM. HerndOn called the
meeting to order. After short talk,
stating the object of the club, he was
unanimously elected president. Mr..
John G. Thompson was elected vice
president, and Mr.. John NJ. Farra,
secretary. On motion these gentle
men were then made permanent Off
GERS. The Citizens National Bank
was decided upon as treasurer. 1t was
decided to make the imitation fee one
dollar, and the way the silver wheels
were ratified over the table showed
that those present did not propose to
stand back on matters of that kind.
After some discussion it was cOnclu-
ded to allow the officers to select nine
others, who, with themselves, would
constitute a board of directors. 1t
was also decided to leave it to these
directors as to the amount or annual
dues to be charged.
There are several matters of vital
importance to the welfare of Lancas-
ter and Garrard county which will
have to be looked after at once, and
by forming this club, the thing can
be gone about i'm a busineSs-like way.
Several matters, which we are not at
liberty to speak Of in print at present.
will be pushed to success, and when
they are made public, the people will
readily see the Importance of the
club.
One thing is certain, and that is the
town will never make Roadway until
a united pull is made to get improve
ments and bring money this way. For
several years few men have immag-
ined themselves owners Of the town,
and pulled against every step for i'm
prOvement, except where they could
see their own hides benefited, but,
we are glad to say, the spirit of prog
reSS has showed them aside, and now
the walls of few DIRECTORS amount
to naught. The business men are for
progress and progress is to predOmi
nate in good old Lancaster.
The following Board of directors
were elected:
VIM. HerndOn, J. c. Thompson, JnO.
NJ. Farra, Jas. Spilman, j. E. StOrmes,
r. H. TOmlinSOn, r. E. McROberts,
Jno. NJ. Logan, j. w. Gilmore, Louis
