New City Administration.

On January LIST there will be a chance
IN the City administration of Lancas-
ter. Mayor Hugh T. Logan will vol
unfairly retire, giving place to Mr.. L.
U. Davidson, who was elected without
opposition to succeed him. MAYOR
Logan succeeded the late ,anentad
Robert Kinnaird as Mayor. and has
since held that Office, being reelected
to succeed him self, and has made a
most acceptable officer. He has been
progressive in his administration. ever
keeping in mind the best ADVANTAGE
OF the city and seeking in every nos
slble way to advance the interests of
the community. He would not stand
Tor reelection, retires voluntarily and
with the good will and best wishes of
the entire community. He will devote
his entire attention to his thriving bus
mess. Mr.. Logan is succeeded bv MIR
l.. u. Davidson, who was elected with
out opposition at the recent November
election. Mr.. Davidson is one of Ian
casters leading and most influential
business men, member of the grocery
firm of Davidson and Dcty. He is an
elegant. Christian gentleman, unassum-
/ ing In manner, but strictly man of
affairs, thorough going business man.
who will doubtless give to the citv as
Its chief executive. a splendid business
like administration.
Messrs Wesley NJ. Zanone. H. CLAY
Hamilton and R. P. Gregory were re-
elected and will succeed themselves as
City Councilmen. These gentlemen
have been frequently weighed in the
balance in these positions. and have
never been found wanting. They have
stood like the Rock of Gibraltar often
times against odds, for the best inter-
ests OF Lancaster and the surrounding
county. and their reelection is but an
endorsement of their past splendid
records. Capt. William Herndon. DR..
, b. +. Walter and Mr.. G. S. Greenleaf
are the retiring officers, and they leave
the Council voluntarily. each feeling
tnat they nave served at a thankless
and unremuneratIve task long enough.
and now desire to see someone else
tackle the Job,
The City Council, upon their Undue
ton into office will consist of but five
members instead of the regular num-
Ter, six. This fact is due to Mr.. ]. T.
Raney, whose name was filed with the
Clerk, ordering his name stricken from
the list at the last moment. and it was
then too late to supply another name.
Messrs Samuel NJ. Cotton and W. O.
Goodloe will be the two new members
of the body, and they will doubtless
fully meet the expectations of the cit
liens in their jealousy for the good Of
the city.
Their first regular meeting night
will be next Monday night, at which
time we suppose they will proceed with
the election of member to fill the
vacancy, and also with the election of
Chief of Police, City Clerk and City
