the lower branch of the state legisla-
ture, in a good clerical position, and
is in place to watch the progress Of

Harlan J. johnson, for a num-
Der of years owner of this paper,
now the owner of the Dial Enterprise,
Boscobel, was in Lancaster last Fri
day night and made fraternal call
on US. He came over from the river
town to attend meeting of the local
Masonic lodge of which he Is mem
Der. Or, rather, we suspect he had
other business, and once here decid-
ed to stay over for the lodge. Mr..
johnson is one of the best newspaper
men in this vicinity, and is putting

he. settled down at Boscobel, few
years ago, he but returned home, for
he was born and brought up in that
thriving little CITY. And before he
became ambitious to operate paper
in larger field, he was half owner
of the Dial Enterprise, the paper he
now owns. He is genial fellow,
and can talk 'fshop" as pleasantly for
an hour as any of the fraternity we
know.
