Two weeks ago a member of the
Lancaster Rebekah lodge left at The
Herald Office a very interesting article
concerning the Christmas eve festi-
vities at their hall. The item came
too late for publication in that issue
of The Herald and becoming in some
way mislaid and overlooked, escaped
publication later, fact that we great
ly regret.
The session of county court held
yesterday was very brief. In the
estate of Elizabeth Brown, deceased,
Beth B. Bowers was appointed ad-
ministrator the bond being fixed at
$4,000. Proof of publication in the
estate of William Richardson was
filed. The hearing in this estate was
adjourned to February s. Proof of
publication was filed and judgment
on claims was signed in the estate
of George W. Day, deceased.
The average daily output of jack
Of the o. P. David mine at Montfort
is said to be five tons but recently the
weeks totals have been from go to 60
tons. The jack from this mine have
been selling above $50 ton right
along. Some idea of the work being
done at this mine can be gained from
the fact that the fifty ton mill, run
ing almost constantly at full capacity
turns out seventy tons of jack daily.
In addition to the output of zinc ore
there is also a great amount of lead
turned out, sometimes eight aud
nine thousand pounds week The
mine is working five men on top and
thirteen underground. News from
the o. P. David is always interesting
to certain of our citizens.

sons, Frank and John Calls also of
this city. Her husband General j.

= The best time to break corn stubs,
asys an exchange, is when it is not
far from zero weather. If good
heavy pole is used, they will then
snap off next the ground and will give
no trouble next year, as is sometimes
the case when they are poled late in
the season and the weather is only
moderately cold. Have good strong
pole that will reach across at least
ten rows. Put a team on each end.
If the pole is small at one end and
large at the other, make the weight
even for each team by hitching about
a foot from the large end, and about
four feet from the small end of the
pole. If not cold enough to break
the stubs all off first pole ali the
stalks down one way, then turn and
pole them back again. This will
bring them all down.
Among the many squirrels that
permanently make Lancaster their
home, perhaps the tamest of them all
was the fine big fox squirrel for
which a nest in a good warm box had
been made by DR.. S. E Hassell, in
a tree in front of his home on Madl-
