Among other candidates for
honors because of long term of read
ing The Herald must be counted
Alexander Ivey, who has taken and
read the paper for 40 years, and that

Mr. Ivey says that soon after he was
married he subscribed for the old
county paper, and has never quit it.
A good record, surely.
Last Saturday was rather quiet
Saturday in Lancaster. The roads
were in bad condition, because the
mud froze quite stiff the night before
and the wheeling was rough and for
bidding. And there was a sprinkling
of snow the night before, and the
wind came in from the north, cold
and raw. No wonder the Saturday
crowd was lighter than usual. Yet,
with all that, there was lot of trad
ing in town. The millinery stocks
were we'll inspected and patronized,
and the other stores, particularly shoe
stores, enjoyed fine business.
Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
facturer, was engineer in an electric
light plant, in Detroit. Charley
Murphy, the base ball millionaire,
was a reporter on the Cincinatti En-

.IIy in the cities. All hospitals are
.Bpidly filling up with dope fiends of
very description converted into raving
aaniacs through the cutting off of
heir supply of drugs. Thus the real
iced of the law becomes more appar-
mt with each passing day. The i'm
Mediate care of the unfortunates Is
rowing a severe problem, yet no one
questions its ultimately beneficial
fleets
Mary Elizabeth, the youngest
laughter of the Rev. and Mrs. G. A.
Bird, now of River Falls, formerly
# Fennimore, died at the family
lome in River Falls on last week
Monday, March Is, of spinal menin-
;itis. As the family was quarantined
