Yours truly
j. wv. Sweeney.

1t occasioned sincere regret on all
sides when it became known that on
last Sunday morning Rev. o. P. Bush
rendered to his congregation his res
.ignation as pastor of the local Baptist
Church, to become effective on March
1st, at which time Bro. Bush will re-
move to Columbia. Adair county Ky.
to take charge of the church at that
place.
Bro Bush during his several years
stay in Lancaster as pastor of the
baptist church has endeared himself
to all classes, regardless of denomina-
tions, and he is held in especially high
esteem by his congregation, who re-
greet exceedingly to give him up.
Quiet, unassuming with kindly word
for all, truly christian minister and,
upright gentlemen, his loss will be
severely felt in Lancaster, and we can
assure the good people of Columbia
tina. they are much the gamers by
our loss, and that Bro. Bush and ex-
celient family will prove valuable ad-
ditions to both the religions and social
life of their community

In his bed by his wife at 3i5 Macon
avenue at daylight this morning. The

KIDS THRONG
OPERA HOUSE

Kids. kids, kids. The Opera House
and Main street were full of them.
Some in rags, some with bags (of can
dy) and some in fancy gowns. All
colors, all sizes, all shapes and every
one of them happy.
II takes one OF The Daily Records
free shows to gather the youngsters
together from all corners of the Vi
cinity. And what a good time they
certainly had. II was worth the price
of day of for older folks to see and
hear how the kids carried on.
The Opera House was packed two
or three different times with an en-
tirely new crop of young hopefuls
each time. And Mr.. Jones. the man
ager, gave them the best show he
could possibly get. The show was a
dandy in every particular.
The interior was cool and nice. de-
spite the great throng that filled 1t
and this fact amply bears out Mr..
Jones' boast that The Opera House
is the coolest place in town."
Ben McGehee. at the machine. was
very gracious in giving the kids as
much of every picture as they wanted.
He ran the four pictures through five
different times and then the young
ster kept hollering for more but he
had to quit to get ready for this even
ing's show.
Many adults attended the show with
their children and several stated to a
Record reporter that they enjoyed the
treat very much. One lady said Il
made her twenty years younger. The
reporter told her that would make her
only one year old. And she blushed
at the compliment We were pleased
Because some women would get mad
and tell their husbands and we'd have
a fight on our hands.
But 1t was a gala day. The children
were greatly pleased and The Daily
Record is amply repaid for the ex-
pense to see them so pleased. and Mr.
Jones said he had not enjoyed himself
more in many a day.

ONE OF THE FINE
RANCHES IN EAST CANON

There are a great many pretty and
well kept fruit ranches around Canon
City. In fact the large majority of
them are a little above the average in
this respect. Some have large pre-
tentious houses on them, and others,
though small and modest, are neat
and comfortable and are good
homes. 1t would be impossible to give
them all individual recognition, and
will make especial mention of the
ranch owned and occupied by Robt.
Harrison on East Main and Orchard
avenue, after an inspection of the
property by Mr.. Harrison's invitation.
This is unusually attractive and
well kept place OF the smaller class
and the fruit trees show the results
OF hard and persistent work. They
have been sprayed three and four
times, which Mr.. Harrison has found
to be well worth while. From present
indications he is expecting a record
breaking crop. the trees being loaded
down with good. solid and we'll de-
veloped fruit. The plum trees are
also in excellent condition and bear
ing well. A hundred and forty plums
we're counted on one sprig and all in
a healthy condition. Mr.. Harrison
has a number of other things on his
ranch, the smaller fruits and ber-
ries, too numerous to mention. and
some vegetables. The quality Of all
these products is the result OF the
most careful treatment and is a good
example of the superiority of Canon
City grown stun.
