There are very few people in Reyn oldsvllle now who remember that the town had a dally paper over thirty two years ago. Through the courtesy of H. Alex Stoke we were shown Mon day a copy of tbe "Reynolds Daily Herald," bearing date August 19, 1878, which was owned by W. O. Smith & Company in Reynoldsvllle. It is a breezy little four page sheet, made up of short pertinent paragraphs about home and foreign affairs which prove tbe editor a genius of more than ordin ary calibre. Tbe advertisements are quite as interesting as tbe news, and among others we notice the ads. of Davis McCracken, grocer, M. J. Sloppy, opera house grocer, VanLew's bakery, Penman's grocery, and Wellendorf's hardware. Jacob Schwem was then proprietor of what is now Frank's Tavern, and H. S. Belnap owned the present City hotel. In the church directory Rev. Father B. McGlvney's name appears as pastor of the Catholic churoh, and Rey. S. M. Wilkinson, of the M. E. church. The following re markable description of Beulah ceme tery appears in the issue: "Reynolds vllle is now provided with a home for the dead, situate on the summit east of tbe village, and so beautifully and elegibly located that it seems to have been designed by Nature herself for God's Acre. Its myriad flowers will receive the first kisses of Aurora, and Its marble spires will stand sentinel over the valley below, as does Mount Olivet over the beautiful garden of Uethsemane. Tbe spot has been christened Beulah oemetery, suggested by the sublime allegory of Bunyan where he terms Beulah tbe land of rest and quiet, lying on the hither side ot the river of Death, where pilgrims tarry Until their summons come to cross over and enter the Colestiai City."
