The fair and talented editor of the Fairfax Enterprise has the following to say this week about The Lancaster News: We have only praise for Maj.tr Chas. T. Connors' paper which combines the old Lancaster Enterprise, Review and Ledger in one. Still we don't like to say good by to brother Clark. He was a staunch friend of ours from our first acquaintances, and we would like to meet him again at our press reunions. THE NEWS RECEPTION. That The News is meeting with favor everywhere it goes is evidenced by the many letters we daily receive in which complimentary mention is made of the paper. It is impracticab'e to publish all the pleasant things beint? said about Lun^nstor'a new paper, but here are a few extracts from letters written by well known, representative men : Mr. John W. Twitty, of Val dosta, Ga., writes: "I am pleased a' the merging "process. I am surprised that it was not done long airo. The pub lishing of legal notices, announcing candidates for otlice, etc., could not be done satisfactorily. If all the papers were not pat ronized it was ground for com pi a ni. I hope and believe The News will be popular and have a larcre circulation. If it comes o to me a* the Review has done for years of course 1 will appre ciate it; otherwise I propose to have it anyhow." Mr. R. N. Nisbet, of Waxhaw, N. C. : " fhe News is certainly a very readable paper. It is a paper of which Lancaster and all Lancas trians should be proud, and which they can ill afford not to support. I expected a good pa per but it is even better than I had anticipated." Mr. J. P. Heath, of Camilla, Ga. : "Enclosed find New York ex change for a year'9 subscription to the Lancanter News. I am much pleased with your paper. 1 enjoy reading the news from my old native county." Mr. W. B. Miller, of Wills Point, Texas : "The Enterprise having been a welcome visitor in our home I for a number of years, I am*ure we would feel at a great loss without it or some other good Lancaster paper in its place.? The Lancaster News fouud its way to our home last Saturday, the 7th, and it received a warm welcome. Succe s, 'long life and best wishes for The News from your friend in the Lone Star State. Enclosed find postal order," etc. Mr. II. W. Doster, of Osceola, S. C. : "Continue to send me The News. 1 think your consolidation of papers a good thing.? You can now spread yourself and give us a fine paper." The Rev. R. E. Small, of Ray, | S. C. : "From the start you have made you are going to give us an excellent paper in The News." Hundreds have spoken ?o us personally in praise of The News. Mr. W. G. A. Porter, of Dixie, when subscribing for the paper several days ago, re ferred to the great saving one good paper will prove to be to the people. He also spoke of how much candidates will hereafter save. As is well known, Mr. Porter was for a number of years county chairman, and he tneretore Knows all about cam paign expenses, etc. The management of The Nevis is profoundly grateful to the public generally for the unani mous cordiality of the paper's reception, and its patrons may rest assured that no elFort will be spared by us lo continue to merit their endorsement and good will.
