Hastings Traveling Men Applaud
Defense of the Craft.
HASTINGS, Neb, Aug 8.--[Special]-
ever a newspaper article was duly appreciated,
the defense of the traveling men.
Mrs. Lila W Peattie in the SUNDAY WORLD
HERALD was the one. The boys do not
admit that their lady defender was the first
to discover that a traveling man could
and is a gentleman, but they appreciate it
and her defense for the reason that so it
as they know, or have ever heard, she
the first lady to come out publicly in a two
column newspaper article and state her
experience with a class of citizens she had
from early infancy been taught to publicly
declare that for days that for three days and nights
she was the only lady passenger in a carriage with
load of "drummers," and that during the
long and tedious ride she escaped the
slightest insult. Mrs. Peattie has made a
friend of every traveling man who read the
article in last Sunday's WORLD-HERALD
and upon any future trip she need only
make herself known to the "boys" upon
the trains to secure a friend. Every traveling
man who read the article cut it out
and pasted it in his grip or memorandum
book. There were scores of multiple
WORLD-HERALDS in Hastings yesterday
and presumably all over Nebraska.
The silver wedding at the pleasant house
of Rev. Dr. Britt on Saturday evening in
was a very enjoyable affair. Dr. Britt
popular all over this section of the state
not only in the Methodist church but in
other churches. He is popular outside the
church with people of all classes, ages and
conditions. The opportunity to show the
full appreciation of Dr and Mrs. Britt's
many virtues was afforded by the twenty
fifth anniversary of their marriage. Many
friends gathered at their domicile and
many who were absent and unable to attend
sent letters of regret. There were
several handsome presents and an elegant
repast.
Work upon the two wings of the asylum
will be commenced this week.
