How is that for high license?

Schroeder, district manager, and

Friends of The Herald should
not neglect to remember that we are
now located in our new shop, and are
doing business in our new office.
And, what's more, we take some
little pride in having our friends see
our new quarters-they are very
nice, we think. Come and see US;
down Madison street from the Union
State bank, in the Gault building, up
stairs.
Several from Lancaster witness
ed the ski tournament in Mt. Horeb,
last Saturday. They say the sliding
and jumping were fine, and that the
weather was good for winter, but
that there was too much cold for COM
fort. A large number of more or
less professional" jumpers were IN
attendance. The little town was

indicates that there was good crowd.
Any more than that would have filled
Mt. Horeb to overlooking.

son says that he, the father, parti-

If it be true that the elder Stanley
came from South Carolina, and we
have no occasion to doubt it, then
is it exceedingly probable that he
accepted every opportunity to get

Our Mr. Stanley says he can re-
