Hill Herald.
Our contemporary's words
are full of wisdom. Towns have
been known to prosper and grow
in spile of the failure of some of
their business men to contribute
anything toward their advance
went, but such towns are excep
tions to tlie rule. The material,
moral and educational upbuilding
of a community is indeed
hard and laborious work where
there is a lack of unanimity of
action for the common good,
'ihere are, unfortunately, too
many men in almost every town
who are so intensely selfish that
they are never known to lend a
helping hand in any movement
designed to promote the general
welfare of the community. They
invariably lag behind and allow
others who may be imbued with
public spirit to do all I he work ;
but they are always careful to
participate in any of Hie benefits
which in a general way may reward
the labors of their more
enterprising and progressive fellow
citizens. An ideal town is
one in which every man cheerfully
puts his shoulder to the
v heel of progre ss. But there are
Comparatively few ideal towns
i:i this country.
NEW USE FOB /MUSK-HATS.
Our old friend .J. Musk-rat Cas
k"y went out oi l he rodent raising
business entirely too soon.?
It will be recalled that soni"
years ago, when he lived on B.-a?
creek, near town, he opera'ed a
fine mu?k-rat f irm, but he finally
abandoned his unique enterprise
bee-.use the then owners ol t'p
old Three C's railroad would nut
build a branch n ad up the creek I
bottom where he had his skins
s!a-ked well-nigh sky high. I'I
was imprac'icab'e to get enough |
wagons to transport the hides foj
market?hence ihe abandonnient I
o' the business.
A* that time, however, th
pelts or hides alone hud any market
value. But condition* h.ivoj
greatly changed since then.? i
Now Ihe meat, as well as the
pelts, commands <? good price?.

ONE DRAWBACK TO A TOWN'S
GROWTh.
No town will become a good
buFineiS ccnU-r so long as its
business men rely on a few mer
chants to make the effort to
bring tfade to town. Too often
the men in a lew lines ol trade
are about the only ones that
reaeh out after custom. Other
merchants wait until the^e men
induce t be people to come and
cont nt themselves with trade
that naturally drifts to tlrdr
place. A public spirited man
sliou.d ask himce!l it be is doing
his part to attract people to
come to town to trade in helping
the entire business community,
and no town is a success unless
all lines are working to extend
the trade as far as possible and
trying to l>riutr larger territory
in the circles in which Hie town
is the business center.?Hock
is a man named Mert Robbin?,
of Maryland, who ships a barrel
of musk rata a day. lie cleared
last year over $3,000.
It appears that those who eat
musk-rats do not know them by
that name, as they appear on ll o
bills of faro in the fashionable
hotels and restaurants as "swamp
rabbits," or "black ducks."?
The meat of the mu-k-rat is verydark,
and the Times says "its
flavor is as delicious as a rab
bit's." The musk-rat is served
in different ways, boiled, fried or
baked. Why lie is not alsoserved
iu soup is not slated.
Col. Springs spends much 01
his tune in New York?wonder
how he has his "swamp rabbits,"
j or "black ducks" cooked.
AN APPRECIATED BOUQUET.
The following generous words
are from our esteemed coutem
porary the Rock Hill Record :?
Brother Connors, ol tlie Lancaster
News, we take our hats < If
to you lor the handsome way in
which you have set yourself
straight. The Record can take a
joke all right, and we are not so
serious all the time that we cannot
make one now and then
(as, for instance, about Col.
Springs and tlie water wagon) ;
but we are very jealous of the
fair name and capabilities of
of Rock Hill. Here's long life
and prosperity to Lancaster and
may Brother Connors "live long
utiil nrnavtur " [Tut\?u?

Congressional Candidates to
Speak Here, too, on 20th.
As published in a previous issue
of The News, Senator Tillman
will speak in Lancaster on the
20th instant. The candidates for
Congress from this district will
also speak here the same day.?
A large crowd will no doubt greet
the distinguished speakers.
