Work on the streets in Lancaster
is already in progress. On south Madi-
son street a new job of top-dresslng
of the macadam has been done. This
began at the corner in front of the
Richard Meyer, Jr., home and ex-
tends south past the high school
building. In addition to this, several

bank in front of their respective

Mothers day was generally
observed last Sunday in Lancaster
churches. At the Congregational
church the mems club saw to it that
each mother in the congregation was
presented with a handsome pink carna-
ton. Mr.. .Studebaker spoke on the
topic, "Mother." There was a
great demand made on Mr.. Stratton,
the local florist, for flowers, partic-
ularly for carnations. But he was
equal to the occasion.
George Wieland was in the other
day to enlist the services of The
Herald in the sale of some fine fancy
driving horses, the little matter of
a splendid pair of them. George is
one of the substantial farmers out
in the Hurricane section, but If you
would make him smile, tell him some
thing about his family. That is
where lie lives. His daughter, Miss
Esther, won in arithmetic at the
county contest a week ago last Satur-
day, and the father has a just and
reasonable pride IL the success.
-Delos Edwards is ~remodeling his
building, next north of the Union
bank. on the west side of north Madi-
son street. Since last summer 1t has
been used on the ground floor for the
storage or store furniture and other
personal property. 1t is Mr.. Edwards
plan to enter merchandising, as soon
as he gets his building in proper
shape. This will very much improve
the appearance of north Madison
street, to see these buildings occupied,
and surely there are few better
locations for the grocery and provi-
sons trade than the Edwards build
ing.
