Ed. Lancaster News : I scarce- 1
r ever see a word in your paper
ora our thriving and beautiful
ttie town, so I thought that I
ould give you a few dots.
1 say that our town is beautiil;
that is not all. Our sanitary
andition is as good as that of
uy town anywhere in the South
r North. Our water is fine,
hich is in great abundance. We

Our police ia always
n the alert," looking out for
blind tigers and other violajrs
of the law. He is very
igilant. Our livery stables are
rst class. Our business men, or
lerchants, are not exactly up
dth the time, for if they were
hey would let the people know
rliat they sell by advertising in
he county paper. Our roads
ave been recently clayed where
he sand was in dry weather
learly one foot deep in places,
Imost impassable to travel. I
irish you could pay us a visit
nd let me drive you around
ortheast and south lor 3 or 4
ailes and see the improvement,
lore work has been done in the
ast 3 months than in the past
wenty years.
The plau suggested by J. R.
lorton and E. M. Estridce and
dopteil to soclicit money from
lerchauts and all professional
len, farmers and those who
urnish teams, to contribute so
luch, say $2 to $10.00, furnish
team at a stipulated price, pay
is subscription in that way and
Iter lie had paid his subscriplon
continue to haul at same
rice, worked like a charm.Every
erson is benefited, pedestrians,
s well as equestrians.
We had a meeting of our Camp
ist Saturday evening and apointod
delegates to the State
Minion next month and to the
