4 ?ht ^atitastar \ (SEMI-WEEKLY.) C ? ? I NATl'RDAY, JlfLY IS, I90N. ^ The Era wishes to commend ^ in the very strongest and most j favorable manner those youug men who, since the close of the * schools, are industriously at work ' rather than idle away their time. J It betokens not only that these | boys are not lazy, but that they have a laudable ambition as well ^ to do something and to be somebody.?Kershaw Era. 1 The News takes this occasion ' to likewise commend the young 1 students and college men of Lan- ' caster whom we have been Dieas- * ed to observe at work during the holidays. That "all work and no play makes Jack adull boy"is un- ( doubtedly true, generally speak- ( ing, but there are exceptions. 1 Take, for example, the case of 1 young Jack Gregory, son of the 6 late II. J. Gregory, who, though ( a young man of means, has been hard at work since returning from college. We say hard at j work advisedly, for Jack gets up every morning at six o'clock, ^ gets behind a team of mules ana drives twelve miles through the hot suu into the country after lumber, returning witli"his load in the evening. Such has been his daily work for weeks, and it is truly making a man of him physically without in any wise impairing his bright mentality. Jack is not without his pleasur- j es, however. Occasionally on returning from his long, hot and * dusty 24-mile trip, he will wash and dress up and spend the eve mng most pleasantly at the ope- ^ ra house or at some social lunc ? tion. But however late he may be up at night Jaca is always at ^ his post of duty bright and early . the next morning. His is really ^ a remarkable case. One rarely sees a boy with a good inheritance, who is not obliged to work for a living, engaged during his ; school vacation in jnaking his j bread by tlie sweat of his brow. , A.11 honor to young Gregoiy ! In a quiet and unostentatious way ( he is showing to the world that he is not ashamed to work, is adding dignity to labor and set ting an example that other boys , might well follow.
