Reminded that all things must come to an end sooner or later, the octogenarian cannot divest him- self of the thought that in many respects the volume has failed to measure up to what certain friendly helpers had been led to expect through their gen- erosity. If then, disappointment follow, let the volume's shortcomings be charged to the war times during which it was written.
There has seldom been a time during the past six months that the author's mind has not been distracted, yea, bewildered, confused over bulletins

LANCASTER: OLD AND NEW
and newspaper reports, first over war with Mexico, later with that on the Eastern continent. Ordinarily during more peaceful times the very mention of writing the story of Lancaster would have brought forth a friendly, hearty response, but not so during war and rumors of war such as the country is passing through at the present time. With a young man, the writing of a book could afford to wait a more propitious season; not so with one who has reached his four score. He cannot turn the dial of time backward. And so, recalling Lot's wife, and the punishment dealt out to her for looking backward, the chronicler has acted in conformity with a rule of his life, never to give up until the results of his efforts have been achieved.
Every hour in the day came reports of what was going on at the recruiting station, recalling how, more than a half century ago, the boys went their way to do battle for their country. It has been said that opportunity awaits every young man, at times the man the opportunity. And then, but for the Civil War, there might never have been the great Abraham Lincoln, a Grant, Sheridan, Lee or a Sherman, names ever to be held revered among the world's greatest patriots. And as I sit reflecting comes the thought, Why should mothers worry over their sons going to war? Let them not despair. A half score years hence, if still living, they may rejoice to see their sons holding positions of trust and honor in their own home town or city. So, my dear mothers, wives and sweethearts, do not worry, for whatever happens is for the best; for, as
NINE YEARS' RULE BY GEORGE SANDERSON 281
has been said, one of these days they will be coming home to be making of their city a still "Greater Lancaster."
All honor then to the Committee whose labors in behalf of the "Red Cross" have been crowned with success. And as for the contributors to this fund, their liberality goes far to prove that the citizens of Lancaster are generous to the limit in contributing to every worthy cause.
Suddenly reminded that there must be a limit to even a book's pages, the volume will close with the names of the twenty-five magistrates, only one of whom has been elevated to the high position of Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania, usually spok- en of as the "Red Rose" of Lancaster.
And here they are since the city was first incor- porated in 1818: John Passmore, Samuel Carpenter, Nathaniel Lightner, John Mathiot, M. Carpenter, Christian Kieffer, Jacob Albright, John Zimmerman, Thomas Burrowes, George Sanderson, William Aug. Atlee, Frederick S. Pyfer, William D. Stauffer, John T. MacGonigle, D. P. Rosenmiller, William A. Morton, Edward Edgerley, Robert Clark, Edwin S. Smeltz, Simon Shissler, Dr. H. E. Muhlenberg, Chester W. Cummings, John P. McCaskey, Frank B. McClain, Harry L. Trout.
In mention of the names of the twenty-five magis- trates, dating from 1818 to the present time, the minutes fail to state of a death occurring of anyone while in office. Only in one instance, and that in the case of Jacob Albright, was there a vacancy from this cause, and while Mayor Albright died the year

following, in 1856, he was too feeble to fill out the term of his office, resulting in the election of John Zimmerman, who held the office for a single term of one year. This yearly rotation of office went on until 1868 when, under the new charter, mayors were elected for two years, since changed by act of Assembly.
Out of this galaxy of twenty-five, only eight are living to help celebrate the incoming Centennial of the city as a municipality, namely, Robert Clark, Edwin S. Smeltz, Simon Shissler, Chester W. Cum- mings, John P. McCaskey, Hon. Frank B. McClain, and the present incumbent, Harry L. Trout. Who will be the next mayor to succeed the present chief magistrate, only time can tell.
However, in finally concluding the volume, no greater reward can await our present mayor's out- going than to be able to say, "I have done my duty for the people, of the people and by the people of Lancaster."
May he join with the octogenarian in saying, "I love my home better than any other home, my city better than any other city, my county better than any other county, my State better than any other in the Union, and my country better than any other country in the world!"
With the foregoing as the school-boy's slogan, the probability is, on reaching his voting age, he will love his city to the extent of making it a "Greater Lancaster," religiously, socially, industriously and commercially.
